This is one of the reasons why users are switching to iPhones. Even though I am an Android fan myself and have never had any sympathy for Apple fans, especially at the prices in recent years, I am slowly changing my opinion. With a new phone that has the hardware requirements to work for at least 5 years, after a few updates, applications start to freeze (system - phone, which is the most important thing in my opinion, and also the browser). When viewing videos from the local gallery, it displays ads for viral videos. At the end of each PDF, an ad. Solution? Googling and deciding which applications to use, or this guide. Sit down at the computer and sacrifice an hour of time until you learn it. Then the next update comes and I can sit down again halfway because in a few months I will forget again. If I were a high school student, I would be fine, but once you start working and have other responsibilities, it seems a bit wasteful to spend time repairing something that the manufacturer should have taken care of. Anyway, thanks for the guide, even though I won't use it personally, it will definitely help someone. When buying another phone, I'll think twice about who I'll vote for.
And don't forget, the system updates automatically at night. So I wake up in the morning and the phone asks for a PIN and login. Anyone who needs to be available at night or in the morning is out of luck.
