    Yeah I can see why people weren’t using it lol. Google is entirely the person they’re trying to hide from.

      For sure. I no longer buy into new Google products because they’re going to die. It also makes it hard to recommend anything Google. They’re literally killing their ability to expand by constantly doing this.

          And as it turns out, Google is pretty evil.

    Didn’t they advertise this as one of the benefits of buying a pixel phone?

    Less than a year and it’s gone… Not that it was much of a feature in the first place
