    Google totally locked a bunch of apps like obsidian so it doesn't work. Android calls this scoped storage, something iPhones don't even have. Why are we not allowed to use apps Apple products could otherwise use?

    They give the best policy for whole people database took all safety places of data damage nor overviews and give the certificate to be fair activate the system info and send the system info to do the best things job into position and support safely check the errors system info depends upon viewing the system going through scientific research and communication normally requires the system and complete tasks form to develop the system info more than save data too.

    For all the reasons stated by others plus I found you can't disable modify system settings even after uninstalling/disabling which is very concerning... Wow, it literally will not let you uninstall the app on any way shape or form! This is totally unacceptable
