iPhone Users Frustrated by Unwanted F1 Movie Ads in Wallet App
TL;DR Summary
Apple sent a promotional push notification about Fandango's discount for 'F1: The Movie' via the Wallet app to some iPhone users, causing complaints due to its intrusive nature and potential violation of Apple's guidelines, especially since users did not explicitly opt in for such marketing messages. An upcoming iOS 26 feature will allow users to opt in or out of promotional offers in the Wallet app, but current users on iOS 18 received the ad without explicit consent.
