FEATURE PROPOSAL: Different Launcher Phone-Screens for Different Life Scenarios (Virtual Desktops, Spaces, Etc.)

Most launcher apps right now have a way to backup their settings. I know users have a tendency to say "pet feature should be easy", so I won't lapse into that. But such backup features could hopefully be easy to leverage into a new feature: the ability to switch between various setting files for different scenarios, like switching between virtual desktops on a computer.

YouTube updated to remove the explore tab and replace it with a Shorts tab

I'm using YouTube Vanced so I'm unsure if it is that, I don't believe it to be as the version hasn't updated. But I don't update the app from the Play store either. However the bottom nav bar was just updated to show a stories button.

This is what is looks like.

Please let me know if yours if like this or any articles detailing this change would be appreciated!!...

ShieldTV Best Emulators "Guide"
