I'm a human-being, alien-believing, nature-loving, movie-watching, music-listening, hobby-following, dream-realizing guy.

@danielfgom true that.
Android's status bar is actually functional.

The reason why Dynamic Island is so exciting to people is that finally, something informative is happening in the status bar 😂.

@Justly0250 bro don't get me started on the Amazon app. I cannot handle that amount of rage.

The fact that they've made it infinitely more difficult to find the settings in-app is just infuriating.

Good luck finding anything in the in-app settings.

@snowadv because fuck you, that's why.

@soulfirethewolf I would actually love that.
The focus mode feature is the closest I've gotten to actually enjoying something similar. But it's barely anything.

@pico you can control whether or not persistent notifications remain.

@hiramfromthechi I'm not entirely sure... I remembered seeing something like that in the Developer options menu, but there isn't anything there...

If you're on Android 12, you do get to add a Camera and Microphone Quick Setting (QS) tile in the notification shade. You were already able to control the Location and NFC sensors through here...

Edit the QS layout and look for the Camera and Mic tile. They let you turn off the Camera and Mic access for apps. Same for the Location and NFC tiles.

@Nath @gamermanh so, the thing I'm pissed about is that Google doesn't follow their own guidelines.

These granular notification settings are implemented by every other payment app, except for GPay.

@danielfgom 😁🫡

@gamermanh

This kind of promotion. Sure, it's not a frequent issue, but you're telling me you (Google) maintain an OS where everyone has to follow the rules for a certain way, except you? I call bullshit.
