After update to latest android version 14 it stopped working now. But 3rd party app working good. Worst google app.

I need dedicated "Recent apps" button and/or direct "Switch to recent app" button. It is definitely not easy to switch between 2 TV channel from 2 providers/apps.

Why on earth will a google app be only for certain countries and not all countries? Am in Kenya and when i try to download it says that it's NOT COMPATIBLE. After googling i saw that Google has given 110 countries access to this app. Google is a worldwide brand and gives only the chosen few to download this app. So unfair and silly
