so its either pure android from moto, nokia, pixel or go the iOS route. this helps in narrowing down choices before buying a new phone.

I think this will be my last samsung phone. Been using it for 2 years.

This is not a bug. It is a fatal flaw.

I immediately turned off the message app permission for my storage.
