About a year ago, my iPhone was stolen, and I was able to get a replacement handset on insurance, and restore it from my backup.
Since then several apps I use have been sending me double-notifications whenever they notify me.
I had this issue with Boxcar, but its account administration page actually showed that I had two devices listed to receive notifications, and when I deleted the older device, I started getting only one notification, as usual.
It seems like many apps are attempting to send notifications to my old device and my new device, but these are both being received by my new device.
I find this very odd, as I I have upgraded from an iPhone 3GS to iPhone 4S to iPhone 6 Plus and never had a similar issue before.
What I am wondering is:
a) Has anyone else had this happen?
b) Does my theory make any sense?
c) Can this somehow be reset on Apple's end without me having to approach dozens of app developers separately (many of who will not be bothered to fix this for me?)
d) how would you fix this?
I'd gone so far as to try some suggestions for a similar problem on stack exchange, where you delete the app, set your clock forward by a day or so, and it resets the push permissions for the app allowing you to reauthorise them (although perhaps this is not killing the permissions for the old device?)
I'd really appreciate any thoughts.
