Samsung is working on a new AI experience for its devices that will help you use your phone without ever accessing the Settings menu.

Turning off notifications in the top menu for certain apps. They come up saying x is connected and I can't clear that any more.

Turn off Google and bixby rubbish and have it stay off and not come back after every update.

Removing a lot of the bloat apps. Can only disable them now not remove.

They are what come to mind off the top of my head.

Don't get me wrong there are many things better, but I use my phone for basic shit and liked it the way it was earlier *

Is that first one Samsung or Android?

Like ok Google and Bixby? The only time I remember it coming up on s21 was when I touch earbuds with wet hands.

Yeah that sucks.

I'm still rocking my S8 active, and I'll keep doing it until the battery dies or catches fire. Nothing they've added to phones in the last 7 years is worth it, imo

Only problem is that the storage is almost full from apps leaking data into locations not accessible from userland, so I'll have to root it at some point. But I'm confident it got another 2-3 years in it
