===Steps to manage notifications===
To manage or disable promotional notifications in the Roborock app, users can navigate to the app's settings:

Open the Roborock app.
Go to "Message Settings."
Select "Device Notifications."
Adjust the settings to disable promotional messages while retaining essential device alerts.
