Stop bogus notification please

Question

I kept receiving notification from simcity buildit, something totally trash like your sims hold an election to call new mayor, or your sims missed you.

Some are false message like your cargo ship is arrived (no, it is still have 4 more hours to arrive), your new cargo airplane arrives (no, it is 10+ hours),

you just sold an item on GTHQ, (sorry, it is sold 5 hours ago, and I am offline for several hours, simcity has no way to get GTHQ information on an offline device). Obviously, those messages are not real game status, but only cheap tricks to asking you click the app.

The most annoyed part is I already disabled all notifications from game setting, I still get it every hour!

Please, devs, you are insulting my IQ by playing those tricks.

You may be aware of the following, but I'm going to cover it anyway in case other people who see this thread and don't know how to do it want guidance.

On iOs devices, do the following:

- Power up/access your device as usual to the home screen
- Click on the grey "Settings" button&nbsp;

- "Notifications" should be located as the 5th item in the menu on the left of the screen if your device is like mine. Click on it
- The notifications menu that loads up on the right should have Apps that are included then apps that are not included for notifications. Ensure that SCBI is in the "Do Not Include" section

- If SCBI is in the "Include" section, then click on it.&nbsp;

- A new menu should open up, showing a green dot on the "allow notifications" selection at the top of the screen. This obviously indicates that notifications are set to on.&nbsp;

Once you tap on the green dot turning it to the off position (indicated by going grey), SCBI should move from the "include" list to the "do not include" list of notifications in the previous menu.
