What Android feature did you think you would never use but ended up using a lot?

For me it's text select from recents. I thought it was a complete waste of space and I would never use it. Now I use it all the time. It's so useful! I still don't like that recently used apps bar is gone from the recents in Android 11 as I thought it was very convenient and made work flow between apps faster and the screenshot shortcut...

Moto G Power (2021) vs Pixel 4a

I recently had to replace my Pixel 4a due to water damage. The screen stopped registering touch properly. A Pixel 5a would have probably been my preferred replacement, but I decided that it wasn't worth the price to me. My replacement is a Moto G Power (2021). Here are the details that stand out to me, after being happy with the Pixel 4a.

Moto G Power (2021)

Pros:

Price ($200)
Larger screen (personally I would have liked a smaller phone, but there aren't really any smaller phones with co...

Google Assistant will no longer read from webpages that require a subnoscription.

I had to uninstall the New York Times app for this error message to actually show up. In the app it just says an error occurred. I pay for a subnoscription to The New York Times anyways....
