uninstall Apple Store, which comes pre-installed in iOS, to stop getting these notifications

edited post. The original description & title was me complaining about this notification thinking it was default behavior of iOS, not knowing it came from the Apple Store

    If you uninstall the app store, then you’re locking your phone into whatever state it’s in when you do that. Just turn off push notifications.

    Edit: also I don’t see how this is related to privacy.

      There’s a difference between App Store and Apple Store. The screenshot notification came from the Apple Store. You can remove it without harming iOS.

        So it is kind of like the equivalent of GetApp and Mi Store, just like on Mi phones. Many users also recieved similar spammy notifications on newer Xiaomi product, and removing it was a pain with adb shell, because sometimes the phones would be bricked. There were also other bloatwares/spywares like ad-infested lockscreen and file manager. See the uncanny resemblance?
