Check Phone and Messaging Storage app: it might be taking up a ton of your storage

Since I started using RCS in Messages on my Pixel 3 over a year ago, the system app ["Phone and Messaging Storage" will periodically go crazy](https://i.imgur.com/xtfHMiO.png) and start rapidly expanding, eating up a ton of storage.

It's happened three times now over the course of the last year, and since you can't clear the storage of the system app, factory resetting seems to be the only way to clear it. I let it get up to 10gb both times before I did a factory reset. Clearing app storage in...

What are the features you miss in Stock Android?, Guys I used to miss call recording now it's available but I really miss screen recording feature-inbuilt!!!

I used to miss call recording feature a lot I tried using few call recording apps which were ok but the inbuilt call recording feature is the best way to do. Thanks Google.

But man I really need screen recording feature in stock android, there are several apps which are ok but these apps have many ads, those are pretty heavy and also they kill the feel of Stock Android.

I really like how fluid and clean the Stock Android is, but these days it needs to be packed with few more features like I ha...

Is that really still relevant to compare iOS and Android updates just based on version numbers?

Hello,

​

*Disclaimer: If you plan to downvote because I list differences between the way 2 OS provide updates to users, you can do it, but think again .... I will* ***never*** *say that one or the other is better, I simply show that there are so many differences that we should think twice before comparing them.*

I have been having this thought for a long time, and I would like to express it with my best English (sorry for any typo/grammar), and would like to hear from your opinion. I a...

OnePlus has turned OxygenOS into an advertising machine. Why is no one calling them out?

There was a recent thread calling out Samsung for pushing ads via notification - https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/hdaf59/samsung_pushing_ads_in_notifications_even_though/

But nobody seems to be calling out OnePlus for turning their OS into a advertisement machine. Everytime I enter settings I have a huge unremovable card with a red dot blaring at me.

I don't give a shit about their red cable nonsense and I didn't pay for a phone to be infested with ads in its settings app.

WWDC Made Me Appreciate Android More

Watching the iOS portion and seeing all these features that have been out for Android for a very long time, I realized that while it looks like Apple is being "revolutionary" with these new features, Android has had widgets, better Assistant UI, PiP, and the app drawer for far longer. But it also makes me see that while Apple is bringing radical changes mostly to software, Android has been seeing more refinements instead. Other than my Pixel 4's Assistant, every little incremental feature hasn't...
