I’m really disappointed because over last several years Google has been removing little features that I care about.
First, I think with android 13, they removed the ability to switch audio outputs, for instance route sound through speakers while still connected to BT earphones, it used to be accessible through the volume slide. Now you can only do it through the music player and if you don’t play any at the moment, well, screw you I guess.
Now with android 14 they removed sticky notifications for no reason. Now you can accidentally swipe them away and they are gone forever, no “undo” button in sight. Meanwhile apps assume their notification is sticky and never send it again.
In my opinion, taking away features from the user without their concent and absolutely zero reasons for it (no bugs, no performance impact), is a failure in engineering design.
