That’s the problem. Literally every app comes with notifications enabled by default. You need to explicitly customise the notifications in the app or via the phone’s settings.
If we had a mode that blocked notifications by default like web browsers do, you’ll inevitably get “you must enable notifications before you can continue to use this app”!

First thing I do when I install any app is turn off every form of notification. The only notification left on is the one for text messages and that’s only via my watch.

The change to Android where notifications are now a restricted permission by default has been amazing. Just about every notification I get is one I care about because only ~5% of my apps can even do so. Those that send them too frequently quickly become part of the 95%.

IMO Android notifications have been beating iOS’s notifications system for a LONG TIME. Which is funny because I’m pretty sure iOS was first to “modern” notifications
