Hmm, what notifications do you get from the Settings app? I don't recall ever getting any. And you can clear all notifications with a single tap on iOS.

When you open the app, the top half of the screen is dedicated to selling you their subscriptions. If you're already subscribed, you won't see it. It looks like a settings app. If you're not subscribed, you enter an ad hell and you can't make those notifications disappear until you at least view the ads.

Ah, I have the 200GB iCloud subscription, no wonder then.

You can also not show notifications from specific apps, which I find much better.

I definitely appreciate the android interaction for notifications, in that I can long-press a notification and jump straight into settings to disable if I like.

I have most notifications disabled at this point.
