Aside from Pixels, they've pretty much ruined all their products.
It sucks, because I actually like Google products, minus the gross privacy violations and ads. I used to pay for YT Premium.
YouTube music/premium never grew on me. It simply wasn't as good as google play music. ( in my honest opinion )
It's ok, and getting better. My big problem with it is (like you) that Google Play Music was incredible, so good, and they discontinued it in favor of the much worse and awkwardly named YouTube Music.
Whoever convinced them to give up the branding of "Play Store, Play Music, Play Movies" should be drawn and quartered.
I liked it but the fact that they stole our google play music purchases to replace it with a sub only service soured the experience quite a bit.
I never really used it for YT Music. I don't like YT Music.
I liked no ads + background playback on iOS and Android without having to go through hoops like using NewPipe/Revanced.
Visual voicemail is broken on my Pixel, but that might be my carrier (Mint)
BTW if anyone has a fix or a recommended app for visual voicemail please let me know
Do what a normal person does. Let it fill up and you won't have to worry about it anymore.
Well yeah, that's what I've done, but I'm self employed and some of my customers are old and don't text. I've definitely lost some business because my voicemail is full
Googles call screening works kind of good if the other person doesn't think they have the wrong number because a robot answers.
I remember Visual Voicemail being broken for me back when I used to use Mint as well.
I switched to US Mobile on Verizon's network and it works perfectly fine.
