    Android user experience depends heavily on apps. Most of the popular apps changed their UI many time over the past decade. Getting people especially the elderly to frequently learn these changes is not a feature of a good UI.
    (Remember what Microsoft did with Windows 8)

      Microsoft jumped the gun and thought everyone would be working off of phones, like bro imagine programming on a phone keyboard

      Can’t agree more. People get so confused because of those random significant changes out of nowhere. Software companies don’t seem to do any long-term planning or previous research on usability, and treat their apps like playgrounds, forgetting that a LOT of people rely on them, most without high tech skills.

        I only realized today samsung had changed their previous night mode/Grey shade mode to theater mode. But could only do that from watch because I had somehow turned it on while sleeping
