To be fair, as both an iOS and Android user, the way android moves icons around drives me crazy , I much prefer the iOS “shift everything down” approach
Isn't that launcher dependent?
Not sure, I have a Pixel and use the stock everything
Glad I’m on iPhone where I don’t have to worry about “launchers” and everything works out of the box.
Androids work out of the box too. The point is if you don't like the way it works you can find alternatives. If you like stock iPhone that's fine but I find it claustrophobic.
Ignorance. The mark of a true apple cult follower.
Happy because no choice. Android works pretty well with default one but lauchers helps to overthrow what oem gives
You’re talking to a bunch of geeks. There’s nothing wrong with the default pixel launcher. I used it for years. Most of these people have a butt ugly home screen and all kinds of ridiculous customizations that no one else has time for.
I cannot refute any of this.
Well.. There's yer problem
Ugh, I would not even use Android if I could not root...
Try Nova launcher

That's my favorite too but every since they were sold* I'm hesitant to recommend them. I'm too accustomed to swiping up/down on icons for shortcuts.
So you just run the older version?
Smart, so you run 6.2.13?
Hm, right now I'm on the latest and didn't notice much. Guess I'm not a power Nova user. I really only need the shortcuts when swiping up/down on icons. I'd switch if another launcher had that. I don't have a firewall set up either. Guess I should look into that?
I see what you mean, and this could be easily fixable with a toggle.
As an exclusively Android user, I couldn't agree more
Get a new launcher in your life!
