Ooh, ah, thinner sliders, background blur in quick settings.
Quit fucking around, and give us real changes. Like letting us fully disable immersive apps (I'd like to see my status bar in maps, thank you very much), fix the worthless waste of space oval quick settings, which I just stopped using because they're now useless. I went and loaded a sidebar app, because it works so much better than the now pointless quick settings.
And let users adjust a lot more stuff, like for accessibility. I can't imaging handing a new phone to someone with vision or motor issues. I hit the wrong thing all the time, and I don't have either issue.
Oh, bringing color back to the status bar, but only for Google icons? Can I please have the color back like I had, oh 15 years ago? So I know who messaged me by the color of the icon?
Keep on dumbing things down, while also making them more opaque.
What sidebar app did you are you using?
Yup. This is like Windows 11 for smaller screens. Pretty, but useless. Fuck.
