    The photo sphere is still present on Android 14. It isn’t being taken away if you already have that feature.

    Nobody talks about Daydream, but I have an old pixel 2 with Daydream and it’s great for these photo spheres.

    I’m one of the dozens of people who likes Daydream and wishes it wasn’t killed off.

        It’s a poor person’s VR. Turns your phone into a VR headset. Ever sat on the couch and watched a bunch of YouTube videos? Or a TV show/movie? Put on the daydream, and you are sitting in a virtual theatre. It’s good when you need the house to be quiet because everyone is in bed. I’d say 90% of my Daydream usage is watching stuff like Youtube/Netflix.

        It’s amazing when you are on a flight. It totally takes you away from the plane experience. Also really neat when travelling in general. Sitting in a hotel room watching content on a virtual big screen and not the pokey little hotel TV.

      I have a daydream as well. They killed off all the apps for it. I tried to get it going on my newer pixel, and like nothing worked. Sad.
