Launcher discussion: Isn't it time for launchers to support app tagging?

In a world where we can tag everything from photos to tasks, it's interesting that we haven't extended this to launchers and app folders.

I'm not talking about simply putting your app into a folder. If you delete a folder, then you need to manually remake & re-add your apps back into that folder. Instead, I'm specifically talking about creating a list of tags, bulk adding tags to an app, or bulk adding apps to a tag. These tags could then be utilized to:

Search for apps based on tags

The fact that you can't control auto-correct on a per-app basis is incredibly frustrating

I like having autocorrect in certain apps, like Google search and messages. However, in other apps in is very counterproductive and noticeably degrades the experience.

Notes is a good example. Typically this is a place where users want to type abbreviations an other-domain specific pieces of text like codes or usernames or proper names like brands etc. Google is definitely not able to interpret some of these words that another human could reasonably understand, and some of the words are downri...

How is the the touchscreen smoothness on android products compared to iOS?

The only reason I haven’t switched to android is how smooth I think iOS is compared to android.

I’ve been thinking of switching to android in the near future but I have had this image of android phones having a laggy touchscreen compared to iOS ever since I’ve touched one like 10 yrs ago.

To people who has both, or have tried both recent ios/android units how different does it feel?...

Why does clipboard sync between Android and PC still suck?

Unless you are a Premium Samsung owner, your clipboard sharing experience sucks in android. Let me elaborate.

1. Samsung One UI (full not core) works really well with your windows device and seamlessly syncs the clipboard. Not everyone has this option.
2. Clipt by Oneplus is a good workaround but still not good enough. It keeps logging out of my browsers (even chrome). It's useless if I have to login every time to copy something, I would just type it out instead. Also, clipt lacks any a...

The long road to 64-bit only Android

Back in 2017, Apple ended support for 32-bit applications with iOS 10.3.2, dropping compatibility with old, unmaintained apps from the dawn of the smartphone. It took the company just four years to transition iOS from 32-bit to 64-bit only software, a remarkably quick turnaround made possible by Apple’s total control of its hardware, the iOS operating system, and the App Store.
