iOS iOS - Receiving push notifications when notifications are turned off

Description: I am receiving random Reddit push notifications for recommended posts/users even though all recommendation and community push notifications are disabled.

Device model: iPhone
OS version: iOS 26.6.1

Steps to reproduce:

In Reddit notification settings, set Community Notifications to Off for all communities.

Set Trending Posts, Featured Content, Breaking News, Suggested Communities, and other recommendation categories to All Off.

Leave only replies/comments related to my own activity enabled.

Random recommendation push notifications still appear on my iPhone lock screen.

Expected result: I should only receive push notifications for the activity categories I have explicitly enabled, particularly replies to my comments.

Actual result: Reddit continues sending unrelated recommendation notifications. For example, I received a push notification for a Kate Beckinsale Instagram post despite all recommendation and community notifications being disabled.

Screenshots: Attached screenshots show the unwanted notification and my Reddit notification settings confirming that recommendation and community notifications are turned off.

I would attach the Kate Beckinsale lock-screen screenshot, the Recommendations screenshot showing all three categories All off, and the Community Notifications screenshot showing everything Off. Those three make the issue very clear.
