Android Messages Wish-List

# Before I start

I am simply putting this here because, really, I don...

SwiftKey Automatic Incognito mode for Privacy Browsers/Tabs - No longer beta

Anyone else notice this with the Swiftkey update 2 days ago? I know this was recently in the beta, but it's part of the official release version now.

I'm a big fan of the feature so far due to the convenience factor. It's nice seeing that little incognito character on the keyboard whenever I open Firefox Focus or a private tab in Bromite, without the extra few steps of switching it over in the keyboard settings.

USB Type-C to 3.5 mm Dongle Sound Quality Issues - Solved

I purchased a Mate 20 Pro recently and my biggest hesitation was the lack of headphone jack.

Upon receiving I was sorely disappointed by the audio quality from the bundled dongle, made my quality headphones sound cheap and on top of that the max volume was drounded out duing my commute. I am still very reluctant to move to wireless due to poor battery life and on top of that very few models that charge via USB Type-C.

After buying a few cheap 3rd party dongles from amazon I finally sucked up ...

Is anyone else considering switching to Apple for this reason...

I feel like it's the only real privacy conscious option left.

To be clear, I hate iOS and the hardware limits on iPhones (lightning first and foremost)

However Google just doesn't fill me with an trust anymore. I was on the brink, but now with the reveal that they have removed the blocks bergen your name / personal info and their search / advertising ID, I think they've finally done a Facebook and forced me out.
