Marketing should always be OPT-IN by default, but these extra steps to opt out is truly asshole design.
Oh, and on the opt-out confirmation screen, you get two options: Yes or No. The button colour for “yes” is white, and the “no” button matches the “save” button on the previous screen, so it’s easy to accidentally cancel the opt-out. Double-asshole design!
That’s awful! Is it stock android? I’m not seeing the option on my Samsung phone, but I’m also on Android 12 😮💨
Maybe Samsung removed it in favor of their own app pauser.
This is what I see on a normal Pixel phone
Personally I don’t have much issue with it, as I usually uninstall apps that my phone points out are going unused. In reality, I want zero apps and to just use the mobile web for everything but that’s not possible due to dark patterns.
