If you’re an iOS user, you’ve probably encountered those annoying pop-ups that ask you to rate and review an app you’re using. While some people might appreciate the opportunity to share their feedback, others might find them intrusive, distracting, or even manipulative. Fortunately, there’s a way to disable these in-app review requests on your iPhone or iPad. Let’s see how to disable iOS in-app review requests.
What is an iOS In-app Review Request?
If you use an iPhone, you might have seen some apps asking you to rate them or write a review on the App Store. This is called iOS In-app Review Requests, and it’s a feature that Apple introduced in 2017 to help developers get feedback from their users. iOS In-app Review Requests are different from the usual pop-ups or banners that some apps use to direct you to the App Store. Instead, they use a native dialog box that appears within the app and lets you rate the app from one to five stars, and optionally write a review. You can also choose to skip the request or dismiss it.
The advantage of this feature is that you don’t have to leave the app to rate it, and you can do it quickly and easily.
The disadvantage is that you might find it annoying or intrusive, especially if the app asks you too often or at inappropriate times.
Apple Guidelines for an iOS In-app Review Request
Apple has some guidelines for developers on how to use iOS In-app Review Requests properly, such as limiting the number of requests per year and timing them well. However, not all developers follow these guidelines, and some might abuse the feature to get more ratings or reviews.
If you want to disable iOS In-app Review Requests for all apps, you can do it with iPhone’s Settings app. This will prevent any app from showing you the native dialog box. But it won’t stop them from using other methods to ask for your feedback. Let’s see how to disable iOS In-app Review Requests for all apps.
How to Disable iOS In-app Review Requests on iPhone
- Go to the Settings app on your iPhone.
- Tap on App Store.
- Scroll down and disable the toggle for In-App Ratings & Reviews.
That’s it! You’ve successfully disabled the in-app review requests on your iOS device. Now you will not get any pop-ups asking to rate the just installed app(s).
Note: Disabling the in-app review requests on your iOS device will affect all apps that use the native iOS review system, not just the ones you’ve installed. If you want to rate and review an app manually, you can still do so. Just go to the App Store and find the app you want to review.
Conclusion
In conclusion, iOS in-app review requests can be annoying and distracting for some users who just want to enjoy their apps without interruptions. Fortunately, there are easy ways to disable them, either by using the App Store settings or by contacting the app developers directly. By doing so, you can have more control over your app experience and avoid unwanted pop-ups. However, you should also consider the benefits of leaving feedback for the apps you use. It can help the developers improve their products and services. If you like an app, you can always rate it and write a review manually from the App Store. This way, you can show your appreciation and support for the app creators while also disabling the automatic requests.
