uninstall Apple Store, which comes pre-installed in iOS, to stop getting these notifications
edited post. The original description & title was me complaining about this notification thinking it was default behavior of iOS, not knowing it came from the Apple Store
Everone is doing this now.
Android pushing their VPN and storage. MS pusing edge and office. Samsung just install what they want when they want.
What you are referring to as "Android", is in fact Android/Bloat, or as I've recently started calling it, Android+Bloat. Android+Bloat refers to Android with manufacturer-made modifications to AOSP. These modifications may for example install 3rd party apps without asking. Android, however, is a clean OS.
For me its Android/Samsung. Samsung's bloat is a whole 'nother level from the usual carriers.
You really to use a Chinese Android device to actually the know the actual bloat. Samsung looks a innocent child infront of it.
What? Like Xiaomi? Ive never actually used a chinese android phone. Is it that bad?
I have a Poco phone. It's not that bad. There's ads in file manager, pop-up ads after you install any app and it's constantly trying to phone home. But I use NextDNS with some blocklists. They already have tracking protection for Xiaomi devices in beta as well.
Same as me. But I would like to stress that NextDNS Xiaomi filters aren't best. They miss out a lot of trackers. So, you might have to add those individually.
I have also recently switched to CrDroid for my device. The activity of these blockings have dropped by 30%. Lot more privacy for the device.
