"annoyance" has 2 meanings:

  1. the feeling or state of being annoyed
  2. something that makes you annoyed
    Your now Chinese translation for "annoyances" is 煩惱, which usually means the feeling or state of being annoyed.
    For something that makes you annoyed, we should translate "No annoyances" to "無惱人的事物".

You converted Chinese Simplified to Chinese Traditional and used it in the 1st screenshot on Taiwan app store.

You don't understand.
Even you wrongly approved the translation of "No phishing (无网络钓鱼)" for "No annoyances" in zh-CN.

The original translation in zh-TW is correct, but you disapproved it.
I anew approved them.

Please fix the zh-TW translation in the screenshot on app store.
無煩惱
-> 無惱人的事物

Ex: How will you translate "There are many annoyances on the website" in Chinese?
Nobody would say 有很多煩惱在網站上 since you say annoyances = 煩惱.

In your design, annoyances = annoying elements, not human feeling.

In Chinese, 煩惱 = worry when 煩惱 is used as noun.
煩惱 = annoyed when 煩惱 is used as adj.
