Samsung removed oxygen saturation measurement from Health app

Those of you with Samsung devices know that if you want to make use of the heart rate or oxygen saturation sensors built into your device, you use the Samsung Health app.

I recently noticed that they had removed the oxygen saturation feature from the app entirely, and also are removing the "quick measure" feature as well. The quick measure feature lets you use a gesture to measure your heart rate without having the open Samsung Health app.

Google Maps on android has removed the Report feature when navigation mode is on.

Was this a widely used feature in Google maps? Did any of you use it a lot?...

The Google search widget has removed the microphone button at home screen level, replacing it with Discover and Lens.

This is highly annoying to me. Do you use these new features more than the microphone? Was the microphone not used widely?

PSA: TWRP backup does not like Android for Work profiles.

I'm making this to hopefully save someone else an hour of searching to drill down to the cause.

TWRP backup will fail with error 255 createTarFork() process ended. Looking in the recovery.log will show you that /data/misc_ce/ is not able to be added to the backup, along with some linker symlink errors referring to /system/etc/ld.config.txt.

If you use Android for Work for whatever reason, including using an app like Island to create duplicate apps for logging in multiple accounts, this will af...
