Foldables/UI

Hello,

My initiation to Foldables has been the Z Fold 6, then the Z Fold 7. I've been on again off again android/iOS user.

Lately I've been keen to explore other foldables like Oppo Find N6, or Honour Magic V6, so my question is; those coming from One UI/Goodlock what has been the biggest learning curve/bug bear you've experience or missed?

Thanks.

Why is the Play Store "Auto-Update" still All-or-Nothing? (Frustrating UX)

I’m trying to set up a "Manual by Default" update policy on my phone, but the Play Store makes this incredibly tedious.

The Issue: If I turn off the global "Auto-update apps" setting in Network Preferences, the individual "Enable auto update" toggle on an app's description page becomes completely useless. It won't update any app automatically, even if I’ve specifically opted-in for that one app.

The Current Workaround (which sucks): The only way to have just 2-3 apps auto-update is to:

1. Turn the Global setting ON.
2. Go through 50+ other apps one-by-one and uncheck "Enable auto update" for every single one of them.

Why is there no "Manual by Default" mode where the individual toggle actually acts as an "Opt-In"? Is there any workaround or third-party tool (maybe via ADB or a specific manager) that lets us bulk-disable auto-updates for everything at once so we can just pick the few we actually want?

Curious if I'm the only one bothered by this "Reverse Management" headache.
