How easy would it be to mess up someones phone if you were to recommend nonroot and playstore only apps??

its 2019, alot has changed and google has new guidelines. which apps you think should be removed from the playstore.

what combination of playstore apps would make a completely functional phone borderline unusable?
Apps that so bad they dont deserve to be in the playstore?

if you were to play it as a joke how would you convince a person to try them?

what are things you think google shouldve already done to prevent this?....

New Snapchat disables flashlight constantly

Im not sure if this is the right sub for this, if not could someone redirect me to the proper sub.

Ever since the "Android overhaul" Snapchat update, every single time I take a picture, whether sending it or not, when I close the app my flashlight is permanently disabled, the only way to fix this is to either restart my phone or take a picture with flash on in Snapchat. This is VERY annoying at times and I was wondering if anyone else had this problem and or had a permanent fix....

Hands on with the new Oppo Reno

On an adventure in Switzerland today I took a cable car up to a peak called First. While at the top I spotted a few guys with Oppo jackets on and asked them if they worked for Oppo, they did. The group was on a business trip to Switzerland and before long we were talking about phones and such. One of the guys eventually pulled out the new Oppo Reno and I asked if I could take a look. He showed me the zoom features and the new pop up shark fin like selfie camera. I was quite impressed with the zo...

Galaxy Note 9 Exynos(6GB,128GB) OneUI Review

Ive gotten the OneUi update for a couple of moths now and now im ready to give a full review.

Performance :
Things feel very snappy still in this update. Dare i say even smoother?? I was not sure until i did some benchmarks and yea the GPU scores were higher than before which matches my experience when using the phone. However in power saving mode, hell breaks loose. Previously in Oreo when power saving mode, performance loss is noticeable but still pretty smooth. OneUi makes the phone feel ext...
