Search "backup" on your device, there are 3 native options, one using google drive, other using samsung cloud, and one with Samsung's smart switch.

Something wrong there.

I've a Samsung A71, SnapDragon 730, certainly much less capable than your phone, and I can switch apps while using google maps without any performance hit. I usually drive/ride with Waze though.

Does it happen only when it's in your car, or anytime you use google maps? Do you have android auto?

Do you have many map details switched on? (3d buildings, traffic, air quality, etc)

Have you tried it right after rebooting the phone?

It was working for me with some glitches (for example always opening with sorting all/hot instead of what I had set up, subscribed/new).

Then yesterday it auto updated, and the glitches are gone.

...or to a diabetic person whose health plan does not cover all the insulin cost they need.

I should have specified that I was referring to superfluous stuff.

For basic needs like education and health, any cost is too expensive. That should be sponsored by the whole society and government, and be free.

In some cases, they are. My bachelor's degree (5 years Engineering) costed me zero (in monetary units). Even the printed material was free, from the uni printhouse.

We also have the largest free universal health care system in the world, and it's even pretty decent in some regions of the country (Brazil).

I've never used them.

If I like an app or site, but the ads are annoying me, I do one of these:

  • If there's an option to pay the creator/aggregator to eliminate the ads, and the cost/benefit is worth it, I'll pay.

  • If there is no option to pay, but the app/content is worth the ads annoyance, I'll keep using the app/site and watch/skip/ignore the ads.

  • If there is no option to pay, or there is, but the price is higher than what I perceive as the app/content value, I'll stop using the app/site.

For example, I paid for Baconreader Premium, but I watch YouTube ads, and I removed several sites from my google home page feed because they had more ads than content.

I'm also stop using Reddit, as I don't think it's worth enduring their obnoxious native app.

And no, I don't use pirated software, nor watch or listen to pirated movies or music. If something is priced above what I consider it's worth, I just don't use it.

Yes, Baconreader Premium could be consider as a "reddit ad blocker", but it operated within Reddit's approval. Now Reddit changed their rules, and it's their rules.

So many. Unfortunately most of you will miss the lyrics, which are real poetry. Here are a few:

A rosa (1917 song by Pixinguinha, rendition by Marisa Monte in 1991)

Bahia com H (1981, João Gilberto, sang by himself, Caetano, and Gil)

Luiza (1987, Tom Jobim)

Slashdot was becoming too toxic, I moved to reddit.

Reddit wants me to use their obnoxious app, I moved to Lemmy.

Reddit is a business. If they can survive doing what they see fit, good for them.

I moved on. Life goes on.

Perl is funnier, as these are valid ways of exiting with an exception:

readFile() or die;

die unless $a > $b;

J, like in GIF...

You answered "trying" as something that "is ALWAYS worth it" - which was OP's question.

If you now say you need to "weigh the pros and cons" - which I agree - then trying it's not ALWAYS worth it, no?

Then as someone else commented, each person has their own risk tolerance, so once each person weigh the pros and cons, trying will be worth it for some and not for others.

So answering "trying" to "what's something that's always worth it" is rather paradoxical, as what you probably meant then was "trying it, but only when it's worth it".
