I really wonder if the Android engineers just use iPhones. Quite a few of the security isolations/sandboxing have lead to some of the more basic usability bugs.
My dad hit one a few days ago, complained he couldn't restart his phone. I proceeded to watch him hold down the volume and power button to get the prompt to shutdown/reboot. Upon clicking, it did nothing. So I tried it then, still nothing. Realized at this point that the device had lockscreen locked. After unlocking the screen and repeating this it rebooted fine. (My first gut reaction was 'can't you just hold power button to get the reboot screen?', but nope that pops up some google assistant crap instead, so now he has to juggle not having it screenshot each time he needs to shut it off or restart it)
My parents, me and my wife’s side just completely moved away from Android because of random issues that old people are unable to figure it out. Android settings is like a minefield, my parents are just afraid to even open it.
Haha silly, expected that power button will work as power button by default in Android. Just set it the in the settings, really, dude! Can iphone’s power button run spyware? I guess not LMAO on them.
Seriously, there should be a law that elders and kids allowed to buy only iphones, because google primary preying on less cautious and computer illiterate people.
