what's the biggest downgrade you had to ensure so far, and how are you holding up? (lemm.ee)

Android. Version 11 was peak android and every update is a downgrade. Updating from 11 to 12 brought:

No performance upgrades
Apps no longer closing, just minimizing
Battery drains faster
Dumb UI tweaks (springing swipe etc.)
Removed options for notifications, vibration, share etc.
Weather widget stopped respecting dark theme to show some idiotic animations
and more

Version 13 only doubled down on these changes.

Constant nagging to update which you cannot disable, only postpone.

And of course you can't go back. Would love reimage it with some custom rom but I'm afraid some apps can stop working (banking, pay, who knows what else). Fucking infuriating.

I was pretty down on swipe navigation, but now I've gotten used to it and like that I can navigate without having to reach to the bottom of my screen. I'm also very happy about Bluetooth LE but I don't have an audio device that takes advantage of the codec yet. Anything that improves Bluetooth is great in my eyes.

My phone is on Android 8 and I could swear there was a dark mode option before that got removed in some update.
