Stop asking me to turn notifications back on in OS 5

Every time I open the My Cloud OS 5 app on iOS, I get an “Open Settings” pop-up telling me notifications are off and offering to re-enable them. I know they’re off. I turned them off on purpose because I don’t want them.

Asking once is fine. Asking on every launch ignores a decision I’ve already made and adds a tap before I can reach my files. Apple’s own guidance is to respect a user’s notification choice, not re-prompt for it.

Please either remove this prompt, show it once only, or add a “Don’t ask again” option. Until then it’s the first thing I see every time I use a product I paid for.

Device: iPhone, iOS latest. NAS: My Cloud EX2 Ultra.

one of 10 reasons I dumped OS5 and reverted to OS3 long ago (and segregated the NAS units from the internet)
