I wish they'd fix some basic things like allowing apps to use ports under 1024, show setting the Bluetooth connection timeout, allow out of band Bluetooth pairing, some kind of working automatic file sync between my phone and PC, etc.
Seems like they have run out of ideas and are just doing random stuff that nobody asked for now, or even things that are actively harmful to users (allowing apps to know if they are being recorded).
I find inability to record/screenshot (both audio and pictures) the most annoying. They actively broke call recording because "what if it's illegal", then published their own call recorder, but only in India, or something like that.
If I have something on screen I always can take a picture with another camera, creating obstacles doesn't add privacy, it only serves to deter the laziest of bad actors and actual fair users
Ah yeah no call recording is so stupid. It's not even illegal in most of the world. There are plenty of phones that unofficially support it too and they have never got in legal trouble.
