An Explanation for Google's lack of dedication to Android. 82% of Google's Total Revenue comes from advertising.

[Here's Alphabet's 2020 Q1 Earnings Report](https://abc.xyz/investor/static/pdf/2020Q1_alphabet_earnings_release.pdf). As you can see, $33.8 Billion of their $41.2 Billion in revenue came from advertising. Google's number one priority is its advertising and making its products good enough so that it can collect ads. Compare that to a company like Apple where the vast majority of its revenue and its profits comes from selling the [iPhone](https://www.apple.com/newsroom/pdfs/FY20_Q2_Consolidated_F...

Find My Phone - Major Flaw! - Lets Discuss

Hi Peeps,

I'm always concerned about having the ability to track my phone if stolen or lost.

In this case stolen is where the major flaw is...

I rarely use Text messages & I do not have many contacts who have RCS enabled/available, so I mostly stick to WhatsApp. Even, in Whatsapp, I started noticing that I've been using the Smart replies suggested by my phone is mostly Accurate & I'm just replying from the notifications, without even opening the app.
