Apple used a push notification to promote Apple Music šŸ¤”

Apple is sending out push notifications to Apple Music subscribers, offering a month of free music streaming to friends they refer to the service, reports 9to5Mac . The previous week, the company generated notifications from the same app, offering a three-month free trial to lapsed subscribers.

Technically, 9to5Mac notes that this breaks one of Apple’s own App Store review guidelines, which says that ā€œpush notifications… should not be used for advertising, promotions, or direct marketing purposes.ā€ We’ve contacted Apple for clarification on its rules, and we will update this piece when we hear back.

Do as I say, not as I do? :joy:

Now wearily recalling the twin firestorms on here regarding sending a push notification for £10 referral and not sending one for the last crowdfunding round!
