Default font size could be too small for most people.

I agree. I'd say that I have somewhat good eyesight but I had to bump everything one size up.

Thank you, ljdawson ♥️

I'm not using two-button navigation but there was one nice thing it did in Android 9: you could flip the pill to the right and hold it to scroll through open apps until you've reached the app you wanted to switch to (or move your finger left/right to scroll in that direction), and only then lift the finger.

Unfortunately that only worked in Android 9. In Android 10 you could only swipe to the very next app. Not sure why they butchered that carousel navigation; probably to bring it in line with full gesture navigation.

It's a relatively new feature that is slowly rolling out to other languages/regions. I received it maybe 2 or 3 weeks ago (in Germany).

I don't think there's a definitive list of words/phrases that trigger it. It usually works with one or two words (for example "happy birthday!") followed by an exclamation mark. Could be pretty much anything. It even works with "Batman!" Although the result is ... well, not appropriate for the Dark Knight. 😄

I mean, how many ways can you style an X?

Maybe they need a new mascot now that the bird is gone. How about a hamster? They could call it Xhamster.

Why do they ask for feedback for their platform ... on another platform? I don't have a ~~Twat~~ Twitter account and I don't intend to ever create one.

Which is a pity because the ideas of having "circles" was actually clever. Or at least I thought so back then. I wonder how modern social media would look like if they all implemented that.

Asus has always been big on letting you customize your smartphone, to the point that there are two modes for most changes: "Stock Android" or "Asus Optimized." These two modes can be chosen from your settings, and when setting up your device, you can choose one or the other. It changes how your notifications look, your volume panel, and your power menu

Tim Schofield shows that in his video at 5:13, and from 7:03 onwards. The Asus Optimized looks more feature-rich but the design is clearly pre-Android-12 and clashes with some of the modern Android design elements. I guess it's especially for those people who want the old notification drawer design back. 🤷‍♂️
