What do you think about this latest release?

I really don't have any thoughts at all because I have yet to notice one difference.

Do you think things are going in the right direction?

I really miss the days where I was excited about Android releases, but honestly, there hasn't been a single feature I have been excited for since like Android 5.0.

Is there anything you'd like to see prioritized in future releases?

Android really needs better cross device support like Apple devices have. Apple users can seamlessly send and receive messages across all of their devices, transfer files between them, move their web browsing session, etc. Android requires apps made by others to do this, and they are all lacking critical features. KDE connect barely even works for me no matter what I do. It used to work great about 5 years ago, but since I installed it on a new laptop about 4 months ago, it has barely worked.

Android NEEDS RCS support. Right now only apps shipped with the phone can use the API. But that's not good enough. Android needs a user-level API for it. I feel like our only hope for this is that the EU mandates it.

Which device are you on?

Pixel 7.
