What features do you miss the most from other non-Pixel devices?
I am new to Pixel and recently got a new Pixel 8a, and generally, I love it. It's extremely smooth and fast in comparison to my aging Oppo A91. However, there are a couple of features that I wish Google could bring from their rivals:
- Floating windows. This is perhaps, the feature that I miss the most. I have never enjoyed the experience of splitting my screen in two. It might be useful in some cases, but Oppo nailed it perfectly. You have two options, the small version (a preview) and the larger one where you can interact. I read that we might have a Bubble for all in Android 16, I cross the fingers it comes since it might be a good beginning.
- Scheduling when to turn on/off the device. This probably should be added to the Digital Wellbeing app since some features are already there.
- Showing the mega/giga bytes consumed per day. I was thinking it could be next to the toggle. (I wish one day, we would have the buttons split again).
- Configurable three-finger swipe or double-tap gestures. This will be nice to have.
Also, I have a question: Do you know if it's possible to group notifications from one app? I sometimes get several notifications from Duolingo, but they are always split. I wish I could have all of them coming from one app in one place instead of several.
Thanks for your ideas or extras that you wish you could also have!
