At least they got rid of the horribly designed all-in-one internet toggle, but this is still a pointless extra click. I have limited mobile data and disabling it helps with battery life. Stop being so pushy, Google!

Not Google, this has been added by the manufacturer of your phone. Probably they got too many complaints like “I disabled data and now there’s no internet” because average users don’t read what’s on screen

or more accurately users just have no grasp of what things come from. No shortage of times in tech support where I’ve heard things like “Yes I know the internet is down, I’m not trying to go to the internet I’m trying to go to facebook”.

I feel your pain - “Daaaaad! My internet’s on but I can’t get to YouTube” - but I feel this one’s a little less obvious than that. It’s not always apparent whether a given feature is stock OS or vendor specific.

I’m not able to reproduce this in my pixel 5, maybe Google removed this as a pixel exclusive feature? Or maybe because I used that adb command to separate the “internet” button in two buttons (WiFi and data)

Very much possible that Google changed it, since the buttons appear to be combined on Pixel devices. LineageOS and multiple other vendors definitely have it.

Not an android thing. It’s a vendor thing. Stop blaming Google for things it doesn’t do. There are enough other points to critizise about them

I didn’t get this pop-up before I upgraded to Android 13, and I have a Motorola phone that runs close to stock Android. So that’s why I thought this was a Google thing.

Sorry, but if we didn’t have safeguards like that you’d be some other person posting about how ridiculous it is that they can turn their Internet off so easily, etc.

This community really shows me how few of you have worked in some kind of support role, or pretending that your OS trying to make sure you know what you’re doing is somehow a problem lol

At this point it’s literally just bitching.

Can you give some examples of people saying things are too easy on Android/iOS ?

Yeah, similar to windows warning you that your network share won’t be available when you’re computer is off or in sleep mode, it’s stupid for me as an IT person but on the other hand as an IT person I know users can be stupid and such warnings are needed

Android 11 was bonkers. I liked it. Then I updated to android 12 and the buttons were massively inflated, customization options went down the drain (rip pretty accent colors) and the easter egg was shittified

Android 9-11 (😳) were the best versions

Android 14’s easter egg is kinda fun ngl. You can ride a rocket and collect planets and such.
