You can’t remove things from it, you cannot rearrange it… Useless things and suggestions get stuck at the top.

I’m on Android 13. Have they made any improvements in the newer versions of Android?

    Mine has an ex from a decade ago at the top of the list. I haven’t communicated with that woman in years.

    When UI/UX was becoming the hot ticket in the late 90s/early 00s, the lesson always beaten into your head was to make navigating simpler, with the fewest clicks possible. Now they bury everything.

    YouTube used to let you make playlists on the fly, now you have to click into a small sub menu that is hard to touch without stopping the current video. Even disconnecting from a network is now an extra click than it used to. Google designers have totally lost the point. They are the reason people pay more for less with an apple phone.

    Please, you need to be more specific. Android has half a dozen distinctly different share menus, and there are distinctly different reasons why each one is garbage.

      The most egregious part is that it used to be good. There were things that could have been done to improve it, but instead they devolved it into a dumpster fire.
      Which means that it didn’t go to shit from neglect, but instead they allocated resources to actively fuck it up

    It always suggests me the same WhatsApp contacts I have never spoken too and a couple of group chats that are ancient. I seem to remember it working a long time ago

  • I was literally just bitching about this very thing to my wife this morning. It’s a hot mess, and proves someone(s) at Google are severely incompetent.

    Google used to be best of the best; now, it seems, they hire only script kiddies.

    For me the worse thing is when I copy some text and that small pop-up appears (Andr##d 13). I don’t like it because I end up misclicking it and opens up some menu. I hope there’s an option to turn it off.
