These used to be swipeable. Now they require two taps to clear them, which is a pretty non-standard UI metaphor for this class of use case. Feels oddly user-hostile. Almost as if the goal is to make the user spend more time looking at a commingled list of notifications and offers (that should have never been commingled in the first place).
@tychotithonus I just ignore the "notifications and offers" now. There has literally never been anything worth my attention there, at least since they moved app updates away from it. (I have auto-updates enabled and I've never seen the notification in your screenshot.)
@adamhotep yeah, I think I'll follow suit!
