It's lousy that you can't turn off the badge notifications for the Settings app, which is where they push this garbage. I'm still on iOS 18, and I just have to live with a red '1' on my Settings app because I haven't updated my OS. It also pokes me every week or two to update.

It's not Microsoft-level annoyance, but it's not the way Apple used to be, either.

In my experience, you can generally dismiss all of those by tapping the thing and then just not doing it, if you do that 3 times.

After 3 taps and the thing still hasn't been done, Settings usually seems to stop showing the badge or reminder anymore.

You could move the settings app to a less-used home-screen page, or you can remove the settings icon from the home screen entirely.

It's mildly annoying to have to do the swipe-down-and-search to get to settings but it's not an app I use all that often.

		And the b0rked that with the new Siri - I had to turn Siri off today because I literally couldn't get to an app unless I knew its location on the Home Screen.

		Yeah, I've not pulled the trigger on this yet. I assume I'll get a new phone before too long and then will be forced to use the current OS.
