Why Does iOS 7 Ignore My Notifications Settings?

[jkeitz]

Whenever I run an app for the first time in iOS 7, it asks if it can send me push notifications. 99% of the time I say no. Nevertheless, I always have to go to the Notification Center settings and remove the push notifications manually anyway. Why bother asking me if you're just going to send the push notifications regardless of what I answer?

It never happened to me.

I get the same ask banner for push notifications when I download or set up a new app or some apps that are totally rebuilt for IOS 7 but I just say dismiss and that is it. i never have to go to the notification center to manually get rid of it.

I almost always answer no to push notifications, but it always allows them anyway until I go into the settings and disable them manually. Only since iOS 7, but it happened on my 4S and now on my 5S.

I for one can't verify your claim because I say yes to all and any notifications it's one of the things I like about iOS 7 there notifications are so structured if I don't want to be bothered I put it in DND mode and that's all she wrote

Even the updated paid games have smart notifications

That's true because there is no way of disabling notifications in restrictions. So every app will ask you once if it wants to send a notification. If you don't agree a notification should not be enabled but you may have to go into notifications anyway and make an adjustment to the settings.

I know what you're talking about. I've been aware of this since 3GS. Seems to be a bug but apparently it doesn't happen to everybody.

I haven't experienced that. I get the same banner asking if I want push notification I always dismiss it and that's it.

Nice to know it's not just me.
