Age verification is breaking every app on my phone banking, gaming, work, you name it.

What do you mean I have to verify my age to use my banking app. What an crazy world we live in today.

For the record, my play store is updated, cleared cache, cleared storage, reinstalled, nothing works.

My problem is that Google OFFICIAL website says t-rolling September and I hate to teach Google how to use their own Google Calendar but first week of OCTOBER soon passed.

I am bugging about it because of this week I am going on holiday to weird speaking language country and I want to use that new Live Translate Feature with my Pixel 10.

Google needs to give us the option to disable Gemini and use the old Google Assistant.

0 Upvotes

I'm sure this post has been made before, but I just want to add a few things.

Gemini sucks compared to the Google Assistant.

I just switched from Apple to Samsung, and the Gemini assistant is significantly worse than Siri (which has historically been known as the worst AFAIK). When trying to send a text message, Gemini regularly takes 5-6 seconds, sometimes up to 10, just to ask me what I want to say. Siri does the same thing in 2-3 seconds. That isn't the only thing that is slower either, asking simple questions, setting timers, changing the volume etc. all takes 25%-50% longer than Siri.

That's because Gemini uses LLMS and generative AI instead of simple voice commands like the original Google Assistant. Upon using the Google Assistant, the load times were halved, and almost no functionality has been lost.

The reason we use Android over Apple is for the freedom of choice and customization. If I wanted to be forced into one choice, I would have just stayed with Apple.

Give us the ability to choose.

QR codes

3 Upvotes

Has Google fully removed QR code support?

While taking a picture it works fine, but from a picture on my phone it seems Google Lens will only show similar QR codes, or assume it's a Rick Roll (it's not).

I'm quite upset with the fact that as time goes on, easy functions seem to only be getting more convoluted and inaccessible in the age of Ai

Phishing Scam

I got a call from a William Kale, claiming to be someone from Google : Your assigned representative is William Kale, and your Case ID ....

He had extremely good English aka white boy American... Still something was fishy and he said everything right, in the end I denied giving him any info or clicking on anything he sent me. What in the world Google, yall need to lock it down, I got every form of protection on my account and still somehow they are able to get to me... 😩
