this entire comment is a skill issue

by plug and play I obviously wasn't referring to the laptop just offering up my photos unlocked. I was talking about plugging it in, unlocking the device and nothing happening. there is no notification, and nothing in the notification bar. this would never happen on an iPhone. this should have been very obvious to anyone paying even the slightest attention

>... in what app? If this is Chrome then ask Google why. Or install Firefox, DuckDuckGo or whatever else.

in every app. it's a feature of the system, just like you can swipe from the side of the screen in almost every app on iOS. why on earth would I have said it if it was just in one app? again, this should have been very obvious to you

>Just like Apple, though you don't talk shit about Greatest Jobs' Company, because you like it.

what is with all this Android white-knighting? it's an operating system, not a protected species. I literally chose to buy an Android phone when I could have bought an iPhone, and somehow I'm biased? I could not care less about this pathetic semi-religious Android vs Apple war that you've got going on inside your head. they're not sports teams, they're tools, and unless you've got a very very specific use case, this tool's main feature should be the rapid, pleasant usability of a few simple features. they should not require concerted effort and research to set up. there are major issues with Apple, and there are major issues with Google, but for what I want in a phone, Apple makes a better OS. for what I want in a laptop, Apple makes a terrible OS.

>Android 12, Moto G8

you're 2 versions of Android behind what I have and you expect to speak as an authority on this?

Except there is a notification for the USB mode.

And it is this way since 2+ for sure.

No, it's not obvious for me. None of my Android phones behaved so and I don't think I can remember such behaviour on any other I saw or used.

> I literally chose to buy an Android phone when I could have bought an iPhone, and somehow I'm biased?

Yes, you are. You somehow equate your personal experience with the one unknown model and make to all Android phones ever. And despite people telling you what you are clearly missing something - you stubbornly insist it's not you but the Android.

> you're 2 versions of Android behind what I have and you expect to speak as an authority on this?

And my daily driver is Moto G54, Android 14. Any other pathetic excuses?
