a version of google maps that works the way it did in iOS 3 or 4 is probably the most enticing android feature I’ve heard of in years. of course they hide it

I have a feeling that it's not an official google account, particularly because of no emblems by their name

Why the gently caress does the messages app ask me to rate and recommend THE MESSAGES APP on the gddm app store?

It's a MESSAGES APP. Shouldn't it already be on most people's phones? Or a samsung reskinned version?

Does anyone with an iphone get notified by iMessages to rate and recommend iMessages?

Give it zero stars. The stock google text message app can't handle group texts.

I spent five bucks on an app called Textra that is much better.

that isn’t performative, it’s just simple negotiating. no account, no game. seems pretty simple.

hopefully he got some money out of it too

I have a thing for courageous dongles

the entire idea of having to buy a replacement text or dialer app is absurd when this is the primary function of a phone

Dec 13, 2016





I would be ok with it if it stopped any and all spam calls about home energy rebates or car warranty expiration notices

I would almost be willing to keep my pixel 3a over getting an iphone se once my contract expires because of the call screen thing.

I know that replacing the dialer app does not replace whatever component answers phone calls but I really despise spam calls.

Serious talk. Is this in the options that you can set in the settings app? (because ios keeps many app settings in the settings app.) My dad had dozens upon dozens of blocked numbers due to spam and we had to clear all of it because no one could reach him. Simply keeping the unknown calls silent would help a lot more.

the ms teams app on android has the worst notification handling i've ever seen. you can have the app open to a specific conversation and you'll STILL get a notification every single time someone messages in chat it's obscene. like surely they'd go "ok the dude already has the app open so they're seeing the messages so we should suppress notifications" but apparently that's too hard/they're too dumb/anroid

i don't have that issue of notifications when the app is open but having the default behavior be "push all replies on a thread you replies in as notifications" is the most annoying poo poo, and they do it on all platforms. I have to mute every thread I'm in unless someone actually at replies, or else I get a flood of useless notifications.

teams, it's poo poo!

teams notifications are terrible across the board. on windows you can either have it harrass you with banners or not get any notification at all
