My phone app(also google phone app) is only 91mb’s, Google Pixel 6, everything up to date.

Man I just realised there’s a Gemini button! I never actually open the app, I use shortcuts from notifications! Good on google letting users opt out of something basically no one wants!

The AOSP is a huge success and phones are really only the tip of the iceberg, android runs everywhere and is basically responsible for the mainstream adoption of “smart” devices.

It’s a small OS that runs on basically anything and you can stick it on most computers regardless of how strange the hardware setup is.

Is it perfect? No, as a project android is basically maintained by Google alone and Google obviously doesn’t think it’s perfect, or fuschia wouldn’t exist.

I’m not sure this is a fair comparison, since this is only coming to RCS and not SMS my (completely unsubstantiated) guess would be that this is a message protocol issue.

On the other hand Signal is an encrypted internet messaging service and editing internet messages has been easy for everyone not named twitter for years.

The title is a bit misleading, the summary on the article makes it clear that YouTube kids functionality is being rolled into the main app rather than being its own thing.

I’ve got a pixel 6, never had any issues with it. I would recommend all the usual suspects: turn it off and on, update, factory reset.

If you are up to date I remember people complaining that the latest update broke some stuff for them, that might be your issue?
