Tips for a long-lost android user (self.technology)

Kia ora!

I've been an ios user for 100 years at this point, but used to be deep in the android scene before then. I've just got an android for a work phone and am wondering what's changed in the last 10 years - what are your essential apps, settings, customisations? I've had a hunt around xda but can't seem to find much in the way of roms for my model (Samsung A04) - back in the day it seemed there was a thread for every device!

What do I need to know?

If you don't have an open by default setting on your phone, follow these steps:

Install the app 'Hidden Settings for MIUI'
Open it and go to 'Manage Applications'
Select 'NewPipe'
Click 'Advanced'
Select 'Open by default'
For 'open support links' select 'open'. For 'supported links' select 'open youtu.be and other URLs'

Anytime you click a YouTube link it will now open in NewPipe, no matter what app you're in.
