I am absolutely disgusted with what happened just now. I received an ADVERT in my notifications from galaxy store and I could not disable notifications or find any option for ADVERTS in the galaxy store app. This is absolutely disgraceful and I AM LIVID.
I eventually found your method of disabling these things and it is very clear that SAMSUNG IS EMPLOYING DARK PATTERNS. This is abusive and I will not stand for it. you need to change this right now. I have been a loyal customer of samsung since 2013, and every one of my Phones has been a galaxy since then, but I GUARANTEE YOU if you do not fix this abusive behaviour right now, my next phone WILL NOT be a samsung phone.
This is absolutely DISGUSTING behaviour from what I have thus far believed to be a reputable company.
They did not hide the option. Anyone who knows how to properly work their phone settings can disable it. And you truly do not know the meaning of dark patterns. Please stay in the UK forums.
You used the term "advert". Are you British? Are you in the U.S.? Is your phone a U.S. version? If the answers to the last two are "yes", you should go to the members forum for your region and rant there.

That's only valid when they don't hide the options with another hidden option in another menu.
You need to go into advanced settings in notification settings in the phone settings menu. in there is an option to basically un-hide the notification categories option in the app's notification settings. Yeah, they have made it pretty convoluted. It doesn't give me much faith in them.
Go to settings, apps, type in Push, your will see Samsung push services, tap on it, go to notifications, turn off, allow notifications. You will no longer receive ads.
