Did you get a “subsidized” phone?

Initially i bought nexus/pixel phones for clean android experience and no bloat.

Staying with pixel mainly for camera quality and free storage on Google Photos.

Its not ideal, but I’m used to it. They never try to do something too gimmicky and it feels like phone made by Google will work best with the os made by google so my experience will be most consistent, but i haven’t tried other phones in a while.

Force stop is not a state. It’s an action, unless it’s some feature I don’t know about.

Apps don’t have to actively listen to events. They can subscribe to broadcast and the OS will trigger the app whenever that occurs.

I hate it when they do it.

I was on a development end of this and managers always pushed for the ios and android apps to be identical. It always ended up being the ios being the main and android being the afterthought copy.

Whenever i see an android app trying to look like ios, it signals that the quality is lacking.
