 Same, never allow push notifications 

 What does that mean? Like you use apple but turn off push notifications? In that case how do you do messaging if you don't know when new messages arrive? 

 It means that where I have some control (but not where I really do need that functionality, messaging and nothing else) I do not consent to third party servers sending me notifications. 

 Badges aren’t considered push notifications right? 

 Huh?
