LPT: You can pin a person or app to the top of the share menu.

Tired of the constantly changing share menu when you only share memes to your best friend? Or only share things in messenger? Then you can long press either a contact or app and select pin to pin them to the top of the share menu....

The headphone jack having Galaxy Tab S3 is only 0.5 mm or 9.1% thicker than a Tab S5e

5.5 mm vs. 6.0 mm. If that is a choice that needs to be made I am for drawing the line at 6 mm and keeping a still useful port. But than again there have been phones way thinner than the Tab S5e that still had an headphone jack, for example this thing:

What's the criteria for Android deciding that a feature should become standard?

I was thinking about how I used to get Tasker and Doze from the Play Store, but now some of these features are incorporated into my phone without me having to download 3rd party apps. I also started to wonder why a caller ID isn't standard yet and I still need to satisfy that need through Play....
