We're excited that we've removed the ability to close apps!

Some of them have been pretty nice. However, the release's are more frequent without the changes and improvements. I like all the new APIs and theming but those aren't something you can do in 3 months.

That's exactly what we're complaning about. Major release cycle used to be much longer. Now they have this need to break things all the time. I hate the new bubble settings UI, and that everything keeps getting worse to use instead of better.

Now what does that say about regular major releases?

And we hate it... Alot.

And it will be exactly the same as 15,14,13...

You weren't even joking. Dev previews coming soon

Got Android 15 recently. The volume bar is twice as big now! I thought it was just a visual difference but volume is now more finely tuned, as in it goes from 0 to 20 instead of 0 to 10 and steps by 1. (Not sure of the real numbers)

Last update that had a noticeable GUI change for me was when they switched navigation default from 3-button to gesture. Fortunately they still have the option for 3-button.

I can remember updating but it is almost a pointless exercise. (lineage OS requires manual version updates)

Manufacture Android is often way out of date. They rarely even ship security patches

Wut? The major manufacturers I've paid attention to, who've made update support promises, have done "X years" not "X versions"

What? I've never heard of that in my life. Years, yes.

I've observed this substantially more with iOS updates vs. Android.

So you are advocating for slowing down the work on Android, or for keeping the pace the same but witholding the updates for longer before a release? Or something else?

It's probably something like "why would you want to waste precious resources on something so small" or whatever, which just leads to shitty messes everywhere

And in Nova it's a simple setting you can toggle for every screen separately.
