New favourite deceptive design pattern: Apps that have a notification badge, not because you have new messages, but because they want you to engage with an optional feature that you’d rather ignore (‘stories’, device permissions, etc.). You can’t clear the badge without triggering the feature, or going through the same consent flow. Love it.
