    They’d probably get around that by having a ‘Promotions and Order status’ channel and a random / unused one like an ‘App update available’ channel. Promotional notifications should just really be banned.

      It should be enough for the Play Store to require any promotional notifications to go to an exclusively promotional channel for users to manage as they please.

      Next stage, would be a “report notification” option, so Google could suspend the app for spamming. That would curb the dark pattern behavior quite quickly.
