The reason for Android’s Notification system being better than iOS, is solely due to the ability to turn off individual aspects of an application’s notifications.
Google, the poor multi-billion dollar scrappy startup that maintains Android, made a payment app that has one notification setting, “Google Pay”. So all the ads, promotions, everything.
3rd party apps like PhonePe & Paytm have a better system.
How do you manage to maintain this OS?

As someone with GPay installed and notify for it enabled right now:
What ads and promotions? I only ever get “you paid for this shit” notifications
For me it’s their constant Credit Card upsell notifications.
I’ve literally never had this, could be country specific? I’m in the UK.

This kind of promotion. Sure, it’s not a frequent issue, but you’re telling me you (Google) maintain an OS where everyone has to follow the rules for a certain way, except you? I call bullshit.
Can also confirm I do not get ads/promotions from Google Wallet, and Google Pay isn’t an app anymore, so maybe you should make sure you have a legit version. I only get the you just paid notifications, which I would want to get.
Can you show an example of the notifications you’re getting?
I have GPay and I frequently get notifications telling me to claim their reward points. Those notifications aren’t configurable separately from the payment notifications at the OS level. Super annoying.
Gpay is still a thing, possibly what he is referring to.
