Same with iOS (and I presume Android)! So many apps will add extra nags inside the app until you enable notifications. But then as long as you do, they'll send you spam notifications on a frequent basis.


Microsoft 365 [whatever/copilot] apps on Android. If you enable notifications in Outlook you course get notifications when it updates to new version. Or the Office app shows a notification that it can open every PDF you download.


And yet, you don't get an Outlook notification if you receive new mail that gets sorted in to a Inbox subfolder.

Because nobody would ever want that.
