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

    When you installed an app entirely dedicated to shopping Apple products and allowed it to send notifications?

    You do realize you’re not forced to install the Apple Store app, nor allow permissions for notifications, right?

    It’s always weird to see people mixing up apps they’ve installed with “their phone” as if it’s all a monolith.

      Indeed. Apple does give you control over notifications, in their different forms, so just turn them off.

      Having said this I have the app installed since forever and notifications turned on (useful for order status, shipping notifications etc) and never got a self-promoting notification like that. I wonder if it is a regional thing (I’m in Europe).

            I mean honestly I can see how people don’t like it but for most repairs and support you’d likely be using it anyway.

            Unlike others commenting on this post I wouldn’t be quick to label it bloatware because you can easily remove it.
