I had something similar happen with an iphone upgrade.

Absolutely hated it. Huge waste of my time.

Did not want it.

I had a rental property where I keep one room for visiting family and myself when doing work on the house. I had a new renter who was a real neat freak. He decided I had too many wires in the alley behind his back door, so decided to remove everything that was not connected to his apartment or clearly electrical. Result was he eliminated my land line connection on two floors, which works even when the electrical service is out. Phone people said I cannot get a land line back, so had to convert to Fios and other stuff that I did not want. Took hours and hours of calls and several days of having to go to that house to admit phone employees. Then the guy move out and wanted $200 back even though buying battery backup in case of electrical failure and all the other time I spent was far more than $200, not to mention that at age 80 I liked the security of 100% usable phone power even with power loss. GRRRRRRR!!!

A few months ago, Gmail became far more intricate and detailed. I sure didn’t ask for it. I never had any choice.
It used to be when I answer an email, my reply is sent, and the original email stays on the main email page until I delete it myself.

Now, when I reply to an email, it disappears from Incoming and is immediately sucked away into something called ‘Archives’.
I never wanted, asked for or needed to ‘Archive’ my emails.
Now, I have to go looking for it in Sent, Drafts, Trash, Spam, Snoozed....etc, until I find it. IF I find it. Sometimes I have to give up for the day and move on w/o that particular email.

I have searched for a way to remove any Archive aspects.
Either there is no way to remove it, or they won’t clearly tell you. Of course there is no ‘person’ you can ask for advice, only Q&A postings. Yet another minor annoyance.

Yeah, I agree the new icons look like they are designed for 2 year olds.

Everything else about the upgrade is good, however.

Spent 500 bucks on this POS

I am only glad I didn’t blow $1,000 on the S10, which I almost did

Thos is why Apple has 87% of the profits of the entire wireless market

Don’t you know that Google owns your phone AND your data and you just own the plastic and glass?

Gee, my old LG still makes calls. I gather it can text if I had the patience to deal with a keypad.

I must be missing something crucial with all these iPhag phones.

Sorry to hear this. You have got to try the Huawei P30.

You've got to get out from under Google. They will mess up everything... including which articles will appear on your screen when you go to a website.

I picked mine up in Zhuhai, and there is no Google anything on it. You can probably pick it up in HK pretty cheap.

Google is evil. Android is Google, therefore Android is evil. So you’re doing yourself a favor kicking Android out the door.

Go into settings and change the theme. Problem solved.
Look under wallpapers and themes...

So buy another phone or write Google.

There is nothing anyone here can do, and no one else cares.

I do t like that half gallons of ice cream stopped being half gallons. But I do t expect anyone else to care.
