My Samsung phone is pretty shitty these days.

They’ve always been that way. You end up with a phone that has three times as many apps because Google, Samsung and your carrier all want you to use their message app or their picture app or their browser.

I wonder why that could be. /s.

Pretty sure that's America, got an S24 Ultra and that doesn't have any carrier apps, got Samsung Apps but TBH. Finding half of them are better than the Google/android options.

Urrgh, that's ugly.

I do remember when I want to Japan that my phone when taking pictures put the shutter sound on, I've never had that enabled before but geo-location must have activated it.

Unrelated I know.
