Not sure if it is like that because I’m in Korea, but on my Samsung S9 Samsung is injecting ads for their new S24 in my notifications. I’ve had the phone for 5 years and this is the first time I see ads in my phone notifications, unbelievable.

    Is there a phone manufacturer that doesn’t use their devices to shove more ads in your face? Google pushing Google One or Apple’s preinstallwd watch app also come to mind

      Can’t say I’ve ever had anything shoved in my face on iPhone. At least, nothing I didn’t cause myself with third party apps or whatever.

        Work gave me an iPhone, it has been pestering me with “ACTIVATE YOUR FREE 3 MONTHS OF APPLE TV PLUS” once a week since new, and the same for iCloud storage, and the games service, and apple music.

        I got 4 notifications a week at random times of the day from the system itself telling me to make sure I signed up for their free trial with my credit card before the 3 month period where the deal was available is over.

        This has never happened on a Pixel for me, sure they pester you about Google One plans etc on first setup, but they shut the fuck up after you say no.
