r/Android Community Feedback Poll Results

# What is this?

We ran a [community feedback poll](https://old.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/e2zdht/randroid_community_feedback_poll/) for around 6 weeks (the thread was stickied for the first 4 weeks). We got around 930 responses. These are the results.

Before we start, though -- a big thanks to all who participated, be it in the feedback threads from which the poll was built, or the vote itself.

YSK: Apps that share your info/activities with Facebook

One of my friends shared a link today to a Facebook Settings page called '**Off-Facebook Activity**.' I was curious to find out what apps share stats & user info/activities with Facebook knowing that I have been using 'Simple Pro' for over 2 years and don't have the Facebook app installed on my phone.





To my surprise, I found couple apps that have been sharing my activities with Facebook like the Alarm Clock app **Alarmy Pro (WTF?), LinkedIn app, McDonald's app, MX Player Pro** and many more...

Something interesting about the Shield Controller connected to the phone

So I just tried to connect my Shield Controller to my Pixel 4 through a USB cable and found out some interesting things:

- the headphone jack doesn't work (you can't listen to the game's soundtrack, music nor audiobooks)

- the home button does bring you back to the home screen, but it can't enable multitasking

- the microphone button actually works!:
- press it once to open the Google search bar or search things on your currently open app (does work with Reddit, for example!)
- press it...

One Today by Google is Shutting Down

Just got this disappointing e-mail from the [Google One Today](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.onetoday) team... if you're not familiar with the app it highlighted a different charity each day and let you donate $1 towards their cause.

Why is there no love for the privacy tool, Disconnect Pro?

Samsung users have a great option to block trackers with the app, Disconnect Pro, and while it might be pricey, it does seem to do its job.

Why is there so little love for this app?...
