Wear OS 5 blocks one of the best watch apps and it's high time Google fixes things
Watch Face Format helps the Galaxy Watch 7 and Pixel Watch 3 last longer, but it also makes Facer obsolete and their watch faces distressingly basic.
Is Android 15 pretty disappointing for anyone else?
Even though they've been adding less and less each year the past several years, I feel like there are virtually no noticeable changes between 14 and 15. I'm on a Pixel 6a which is a few years old at this point but I haven't noticed any performance increases or UI changes apart from the back gesture. It's pretty disappointing considering how exited I used to get for all the new changes and improvements each major update tbh...
