This will very useful. Right now the only approach I see is to save the post or comment and revisit it after some time, but there are no notifications.

I think sync has a similar feature too, I'm not sure though.

how did I not know about this??

The first thing I do whenever I install anything is to go through the settings. To turn off trackers, analytics and explore the accessibility features.

As for “supporting the dev” I don’t really get this concept.

It can be both.

  • You love the app, you don't want it discontinued; you pay to continue the developement.
  • The developers have a solid business model without any shady practices and have such an awesome free version that you don't feel the need to pay to upgrade to premium features; then you may pay just to just your gratitude. Niagara Launcher & MixPlorer are similar examples of ad-free FREE versions.

A net income of only $19.69 Billion in the last three months. They're going to be so rich now that they're disabling adblockers on YouTube.

and for promotions you could use [email protected]

they use an internal browser as if they do this they can add their own trackers and don't worry about adblockers

This one simple trick. I hate it. The LinkedIn app does this too.

The Moto X (2014)/(2nd gen) was such an awesome phone with a solid build.

I bought it in 2015 at a huge discount instead of the One Plus 1. I used it till the end of 2019 until the battery gave in & the USB port became useless.

Except for the smaller battery size & ok-ish camera, everyone had praises for that phone. My favourite part was it's shape & software.

It received the Android 5 & 6 updates even before summer Nexus phones. And the updates were stable. Times were wild back then.

Can someone eli5 what Shizuku is? I keep hearing about it on a number of Android App YouTube videos as well.

Google, the poor multi-billion dollar scrappy startup that maintains Android, made a payment app that has one notification setting, "Google Pay". So all the ads, promotions, everything.

Amazon is another poor startup that does that on their Android app.

For me it's their constant Credit Card upsell notifications.

I'm not sure there exist any.

Last time I checked, this was actually the biggest criticism Google recieved. They were pushing RCS on Apple, yet keeping it proprietarily only available on Google Messages.

Maybe it has changed. I don't know.

Latest update I heard was that they made it ON by default in Google Messages.
