Google is experimenting with bringing the tablet taskbar to phones running Android 15. This new version could be called the “tiny” taskbar.

    I hate, hate, hate, that I can’t turn off the “At a glance” top section as well as the “Google search” bottom section in my Pixel home screen.

    The got rid of the Google Assistant microphone icon that I could tap and say stuff like “remind me to buy milk in 2 hours,” and replaced it with a similar icon that does voice search. Yuk (and no, shaking, squeezing, gestures or activating the always on ‘hey google’ prompt are not worthy replacements.)

        How do you like Graphene? Any specific issues you haven’t resolved yet? Can you access your bank apps and everything from it?

          Here is a list of most banking apps and whether they work or not. I’ve been using GrapheneOS for a while and haven’t encountered major problems. Only thing I wish I knew beforehand is that multi-user profiles are more cumbersome than what most people say.

      Huh, I actually had to look at the At a Glance but to see what you were talking about. I’ve just taken it as a given that I can’t use the top 1/3 of the screen or the bottom strip.

      I’m not a gestures guy at all, I like buttons!
