God how many things have changed on my phone that I did not ask them to. Changing the font on the clock. Changing the lock screen layout. REMOVING FROGGY WEATHER BEING BACK FROGGY YOU FUCKS.

Marketing and design teams just have to justify their existence. Makes for annoying stupid changes.

Don't get me started.

Gmail for business has been renamed at least four times.

Google Home changed layout for no particular reason and made everything an extra click away.

Google Assistant removed perfectly working actions, try turning on your A/C at 3am in the morning whilst you're sleeping.

Android changes navigation modes making everything worse.

Gmail keeps changing its layout.

Google Admin moves sections around for no reason.

Google search returns worse results every week.

Google Gemini is infecting every service.

Google Sites removed simple blogging functionality without any alternative.

Free services for life are now paid.

Google Play moved the search button to the bottom but you still have to tap at the top to type your search, so it's just an extra click.

It still requires the extra click, but if you hit the search icon again then your keyboard will pop up. So no need to move your finger up top, Spotify's search has the same setup.
