Clever. Not much you can do for this except not subscribe your app to the notifications API, or take extra steps to attempt to clear them, but I don't remember that being an option on iOS. Going to be an interesting fix.

yeah, my first reaction was, "hmmm, clever..."

Any software allowed on an appstore can be backdoored and decrypted many different ways. Even if the notification routing was turned off to prevent this, you still have a virtual keyboard that can be debugged at the system level or in one of the secure enclaves running on an iPhone. All of it is an illusion of security being sold for profit. Even the devices allowed to be sold must be backdoored many differnet ways by the state. In other words, anything that actually provided security and anonymity either from a hardware or software level would never be allowed on the market in the first place.

Not allowing notifications has been SOP since the beginning.

Go through your settings. There’s almost certainly some app doing something you don’t prefer.

doesn't signal use empty notifications by default?

For the push notification yes. Once it pulls the message and creates the full notification with preview, that can be added to the local notification history.
