    Was this generated with AI? Most of the text seems to be unrelated filler for an article with a direct question in the headline.

    Here’s how to re-enable it

    Answered at the very end of the article, as is customary these days. The answer is “do the exact thing the popup tells you to do”. If you needed an article for that, you’re probably better off leaving the setting enabled.

      I think that’s just the nature of smartphone related journalism at the moment. It’s sort of a reflection of where the industry is at: lacking substance and focused on short-termism above all else. In the media this translates to a never-ending hype circle around the latest releases, rumours and “leaks”. Everything else has some clickbait name and a bunch of poorly written, irrelevant filler to pad out the “article” for SEO purposes.

        I mean this goes for “news” in general.

        Some days are slower than others. If you’re not producing “news”, you’re not making money.

        What do you do? Fabricate “news” whenever you can.

      The question in the title is just a hook, but this is still an article, not a Q&A.

      The text tells why the feature matters, tells it’s redundant, lists the phones affected by it, echoes some Samsung notes about the feature, and answers the question. It’s a report on a particular feature, I wouldn’t call it a filler.
