I have some hope that the EU will outlaw promotional push notifications that are not opt-in, similar to email spam. As it stands, push notifications are almost entirely useless because of all the noise.

What apps do you use?

I'm an iPhone user, I have a lot of apps on it, I receive a lot of notifications and I get no promotional notifications. I hope the "almost entirely useless" line was hyperbole :)

Lyft is the abuser on my phone. I'm close to removing all notifications for it, but they are kind of an important part of using the product...

On iOS at least, you can control which apps can send you notifications.

I see no unwanted ones as a result, because I only let well-behaved apps use notifications.
