I'm not sure why other Android OEMs are unable to fix this issue.

I have been using 3rd party launchers for 5 years now. I can't stand the jerky animations. I always go back to using navigation buttons.

And now with the US antitrust ruling against Google, they are sure to ignore more of these small things.

Why don't 3rd launchers not support native gestures yet? Why does Google refuse to fix that?

and for promotions you could use !newcommunities@lemmy.world

Google, the poor multi-billion dollar scrappy startup that maintains Android, made a payment app that has one notification setting, "Google Pay". So all the ads, promotions, everything.

Amazon is another poor startup that does that on their Android app.

I'm not sure there exist any.

Last time I checked, this was actually the biggest criticism Google recieved. They were pushing RCS on Apple, yet keeping it proprietarily only available on Google Messages.

Maybe it has changed. I don't know.

Latest update I heard was that they made it ON by default in Google Messages.

I have a PWA (Web App) created for this website on my home screen. I always check downloaded APKs by uploading them here.

It's smart. It does not always require you to upload the apk. 99% of the time, the APKs from Mobilism are already uploaded and scanned there by other users. In that case, the website simply checked the file hash, skips the upload and shows the scan results.

As for the scan results themselves, I'm not an expert. Maybe others on this thread can help you there.

This is my story:

1. YouTube has a limit of 5000 videos in a playlist. So, the default 'Watch Later' playlist was filled up quickly for me.

2. Then I created a 2nd playlist named 'Watch Later 2' where I'm 3600 videos in. But now I've ditched this playlist for something new.

3. Instead, now I simply open a video & close it, to add it to my History. 'History' also has a search button now, but it needs the exact video title I guess, no typos.

Also, I have a total of 84 different custom playlists that I've created for different topics & God knows the total number of videos they contain that need to be "watched later".

This is my life now in YouTube.

1. Mixplorer Silver - Feature-packed File Manager
2. Hermit - Lightweight PWA browser
3. Instaddr - creates disposable Email addresses
4. Readera - Feature-packed book reader
5. Moon+ Reader - Feature-packed book reader
6. Balance - for Meditation. They have been offering a one year free trial for some time now. It has been really helpful for me. Their programs are highly customised to achieve your goals. Give it a try.
7. KWGT & KWLP - if you're into home screen customisation, then these are must haves.
8. 1DM - Feature-packed Browser and Download Manager (Direct downloads & torrents)
9. Niagara Launcher - Lightweight, minimalist, with solid, fluid animations. One-hand friendly. Free version has ZERO ADS. I've been using the free version for a couple of years now. I'm hooked to it. I don't think I can go back to a normal App Drawer drawer style launcher now. They offer one time purchase as well for the pro version. I felt no need for the pro features, though i'd definitely buy the pro to support the dev.

Some of these have decent free alternatives. Mixplorer is free to use officially through XDA. KWGT & KWLP have free ad supported versions available through their official website. Regardless, these have been installed on all my phones for years now.

I was introduced to reddit via the Relay for Reddit app by an MKBHD video. For me relay was reddit. Couple of years later I found Reddit has a website and an official app. I took a look. ALL MY FAITH WAS LOST IN UI DESIGN & MY EYES WERE BURNING.
