Can we stop bitching about Android updates?

I know phones should get atleast 2-3 major updates but comparing it with iOS is stretching it too far. Hear me out.

I always see people get excited about new iOS updates because it brings a ton of new features but try to break then down into app updates vs OS updates, and you'll see a good chunk of iOS updates are app updates ( facetime, iMessage, notes app, maps etc ). Now android can update stock system apps easily from playstore and they do, we get multiple small updates over the year which ...

Top Mental Health Apps Android 2021

More and more people are starting to think about mental health issues, but they don’t visit therapists. I've seen a lot of questions lately like "Any tips on how to deal with anxiety or self-esteem troubles?", "How to cope with stress if I don't want to visit a therapist?"

I want to share a list of practices and apps that are worth checking out. I listened to the sessions and filled out the journals. And here are my opinions (there is no ranking):

It's a shame there aren't any more stock Android tablets

It's a real shame Google have up on Android tablets in general I recently picked up a Tab S and installed Crdroid and was able to update the Android version to Android 10.

It runs suprisingly well considering the age and is a similar experience to the pixel C . It's like a modern version of a nexus 9 which is great

PSA For Pixel 4 on A12 B2: Blocking camera access will stop FaceID as expected

Just incase people think they broke it. Usually apps will show a prompt to say it's blocked and ask to unblock but FaceID seems to have no prompt, instead saying "try again"

It is expected behaviour though, just another reason why fingerprints are cool...

Android should make shutting off phones from lock screen menu biometric or PIN locked (if you have security code for device access that is)

I think this would be an immensely useful feature to prevent thieves from from prematurely turning off the device so that you have a better chance to track it down or at least inform law enforcement of where it went. Putting the same biometric or PIN lock on features like location services (GPS), LTE, and Airplane Mode would also hamper futile attempts to prevent location services from pinging the device. Almost no one uses the lock screen quick settings menu to manipulate those toggles anyway, ...
