Right? It’s so annoying when the Pixel feature drop is just for Pixel phones!

I don’t, but I still dislike anytime they do something because it never effects me except in the sense that it’s more garbage that needs disabling
You say you’re not using Google, so I assume you’re using GrapheneOS or something? In that case, I’m not sure what you’re expecting from a Pixel feature drop. OTA hardware updates?

I have a Pixel but it would be better if software features are added to the os and not some kind of bullshit exclusive
Thanks!
