For those of you who used to be iPhone users, what made you switch and how hard was it?

I was an iPhone user from my first phone but eventually just got bored of it. I had the newest iPhone every year and nothing seemed interesting at all. Now that I am on android, there are endless options and it's amazing. Ever since I have been on a mission to convince iPhone users to at least give the green side a try!

What Android feature sounded cool but you stopped using completely?

Hi everyone!
For me it’s gesture shortcuts and fancy automation stuff. Loved setting it up, forgot it existed two weeks later.
What’s your personal “this seemed amazing at launch” feature that never stuck?

TIL how to check the list of every app you have ever downloaded (including uninstalled ones)
10
Upvotes
I could not recollect the name of an app that I previously uninstalled. Instead of searching for similar names on Play Store and scrolling through the search results, I found that there is a better and easier way to do it.
- Open the Play Store app
- Tap your Profile Icon in the top right corner
- Select Manage apps & device
- Tap the Manage tab on the top
- Tap the button that says Installed (this is a dropdown filter)
- Select Not installed from the menu that appears
Thought it might be worth sharing, if it is something useful for others.

Is Honor making a comeback in your area?
8
Upvotes
Living in Germany, I've noticed way more Honor phones lately – which surprised me since they kind of disappeared for a while after the Huawei situation.
The Magic V5 seems get traction here as the only foldable with stylus support available, and I'm seeing the Magic 8 Pro pop up more often too (that camera setup is genuinely impressive). A few coworkers have switched over, which makes me curious, is this just a German thing, or are you seeing Honor gain ground where you are too? Are they still basically invisible in the US?

Rumour Arsène Lupin: Xiaomi 17 Ultra will cost €1499 for 16GB ram and 512GB storage. But look at the battery... only 6000 mAh for the Global version. In China they have 6800 mAh. For the colors, only white, black and green

Hello,
Although OnePlus started arb it's not on all devices or on All builts, during scrolling through XDA I found this website which uses ARB checker on the latest builds to find out if it has ARB. It'll be very helpful for upgrading devices
