First of all the upgrade removed my pinned contacts and apps, so I had to start the game of whack a mole all over again. The default suggested apps and contacts were apps I never used and people I never contact.

You get 5 options now instead of 4 which is ok, but you can’t have two rows of favorites. Just one. The first pinned app slot is now taken up by a permanent “nearby share” icon that can’t be removed so you basically have 4 pinned app slots.

I still haven’t been able to pin the handful of individuals I share things with yet. Hopefully eventually they are graced by the algorithm lords and show up some day so I can pin them.

    Possibly because it makes YouTube alternatives too convenient when you can share straight from YouTube to Newpipe.

      I think you’re seriously overestimating the number of people who would actually benefit from that ease of use.

      Yup. I used to use the official YouTube App and then “share” each Video to Firefox. They must have realized that because jow they force an extra 2 clicks to do that.
