/r/Android Community Feedback Poll (February 2021 edition)
Hey /r/android, we had conducted a feedback poll last year. We have decided to make a few revisions (mainly a preferential voting system) since some of the results were rather open-ended and did not present a clear solution. Participation on the last poll was also lower than anticipated since we only got about 930 responses
