I use Uber irregularly (when I travel). Every one of those notifications has resulted in me uninstalling the app as it reminds me I still have it on my phone since the last time I travelled.

It may juice their stats, but I've definitely installed competitors apps when I need a taxi in a new place as opposed to just using the app I already have installed.

Uber Eats.

I need the notifications for a taxi not marketing for groceries during the week

Push notifications are the next regulatory target after cookies.

I can't wait until I start getting bombarded with push notifications telling me I need to update my push notification consent settings.

We're basically already there. Every time I open snapchat it begs me to re-enable spam notifications

I’m pretty sure this violates Apple’s App Store policies, but they seem to not care. Apple even sometimes abuses their notifications to promote new App Store releases and other Apple services.

There is an option somewhere in Uber Eats to disable marketing notifications. It's not easy to find.

Many have said it’s easy to disable non essential push notifications. I find it discussing that even when doing that, companies add new categories and have a default-opt-in.

It's trivial to manage on android.

Postmates is an Uber Eats white label that basically pushes less of these notifications than Uber Eats proper.

iirc you can manage the notifications more granularly on the Uber website

The last time I installed Uber, it woke me up in the middle of the night with some useless notification. Immediately uninstalled.
