Looks like a bunch of features are being removed due to "underutilization"

This company sucks. It's like they throw so many ideas and things at a wall and then never foster or care for any of it. And then they take away the wall so anything that relied on it gets fucked when the app isn't available or works correctly anymore. And this is CONSTANT!

They deserve each and every loss. Pretty sure the only new developments sticking around are the Google Pixel phones. Who knows, maybe they'll delete features for the old ones in the future too. Or remove support for their phones entirely and randomly leave.

I use to hate Microsoft so much for this with their early hardware I used to buy.

They would abandoned the devices by not providing the drivers needed for newer versions of Windows leaving the device a brick unless you want to still run 98 or XP.
