I take it you weren't around for the Nexus 7 (first edition)?
I'm not in the beta, and this is what my WhatsApp looks like now. This might be old news, but until today I had the green UI.
(Sorry for the crappy censor job. I wish Android had a blur feature built-in)
Which phone do you have? I've been able to disable that "swipe left to access Google" thing on every Google Pixel I've ever owned. Just long-press your home screen and go to home settings and disable it.
That's ok.
I use revanced for YouTube on my Android phone.
I use Smarttube Next for YouTube on my Android TV.
It works wonderfully.
That isn't new, that's how ad networks work. Google owns one of the largest ad networks.
It's important to me - I don't use phone cases.
This never made it to outside the US, what exactly was it? (the linked help page doesn't actually say)
They're satirical comments. They happen every single time one of these stub apps appear.
It's a 50/50 on the comments being "this app ruined my phone" or "this app made my phone better".
Which app are you using to remap remote buttons?
Yeah, Connect has this too. It's glaringly missing from Sync.
Both of these apps were sold to dodgy third parties who make their revenue through ads.
Here's mine, for some more fun -
Sony Xperia X1 (the very first Xperia - it had a stylus, keyboard and ran Windows Phone 5.1 (the original pre-iPhone OS, not the later metro style OS)
HTC Desire (the og desire! and my first Android phone. I rooted this and flashed it on a weekly basis. Miss those days...)
Nexus 4
Moto E (I dropped my 4 and figured I'd try a super cheap phone, worked surprisingly well)
Sony Xperia X3 Compact
Nexus 5X
Pixel 3
Pixel 7
I miss small phones so much...
You're presumably talking about the Pixel Launcher widget, which isn't removable (you can disable it but you don't get the space back).
This article is about the widget that non-Pixel phones can install, which will behave more like a standard widget as it can work on any launcher or device.
It will take years before you see more niche communities like that.
