Noticeably more apps do not have granular notification settings. Looking at #Crumbl, #Lowes, #Sprouts, for example. No way to differentiate between promotional vs my orders notifications. Only option is “nuclear” disable all notifications.
Assuming this is backlash to “Ask App Not To Track”? 🤷♀️

Earlier this month, the House Oversight Committee released a flotilla of Epstein emails—more than 20,000 in total. What if you were able to read them like emails?
That’s the simple premise behind “Jmail,” a re-skinning of the documents programmed to look and feel like an everyday Gmail account.

The uncanny Gmail clone that drops you straight into Epstein’s inbox.
A clever bit of digital wizardry turns the 20,000-plus email dump into a working Gmail parody you can search, sort, and star.
