that’s a valid stance. i’m glad it works for you with the combo of both. i prefer just face ID so i’m okay with the oval. i don’t find it intrusive anyway. whatever works for each person. sorry you’re being downvoted. i think it previously seemed like you didn’t understand the difference. i thought that but i see that’s not true. i’ll upvote to even out lol

I guess if I were an iOS user I'd be used to that, but in 13 years I've literally never once had to Google for a walk through on how to find a such a trivial parameter with Android, because they usually are put right where you'd expect them to be.

>Litterally that simple.

You know what's literally simpler?

  1. not requiring a password input for free apps by default on the Appstore

  2. putting an AppStore setting parameter in the Appstore settings menu, not somewhere completely unrelated

  3. not arbitrarily moving the toggle to a new sub-menu everytime the OS is updated.

theres no way to troubleshoot, cuz unless your fucking stupid, theres no way to actually fuck it up. Ive seen like 5 examples of actually messing it up, not the users fault.

To send files, you use google. Or airdrop, Or text. Nope, definitely not multiple ways to do things, lmfao.

So you're just ignoring the fact that you can have both face id and finger id at the same time, like I already mentioned? I've never had to turn on any lights or anything silly like that to login to my phone with a biometric in the dark.

Like OK, if you ONLY want to rely on logging in with your face, then yeah I guess an iPhone might be your best bet, but I know I'm far from alone in preferring to have both face and touch id settings active.

If my phone ever failed to log me in with my face or finger, then I might maybe understand why one would opt for the oval, but as things stand, it just makes no sense to me.

Use any other third party app. Becuase apparently anroid users are alright with downloading third party software for fixes. Apple users just use airdrop, text, or google cloud.

If thats your contasnt experience, would hate to see you use android lmao. Apple makes some of the most dumbed down settings, and everything for user experience, if you cant figure it out, thats pretty sad.
