Extremely frustrating, but I suppose I get it.

I'll probably get some airtags. I have an iPhone I don't use, but I've taken to carrying a bag more often when I'm out, so I guess I can just keep the iPhone in there for these sorts of things. (And hope I don't lose the bag. 😂)

What carrot? A carrot is an incentive. Google didn't embrace the tablet format until very recently, in the grand scheme of things. They haven't offered devs any special deals that I'm aware of — say a revenue split from the play store or paying them to deliver a tablet version of their app — so they didn't incentivise devs to focus on Android tablets.

iPads have dominated the market for so long, and remain a fairly predictable and consistent device to develop for, so... why would an app developer have poured time into an app for Android tablets in years past?

I wouldn't be surprised if the unsaid part is that they're focused more on productivity apps than social apps, but I could be wrong. Also wouldn't be surprised if Instagram doesn't care about getting downranked, given its brand and market awareness somewhat transcends the need to appear in top-apps lists.

That's what he said.

Hmm, yeah, I don't have it yet here in Australia. I tend to prefer SwiftKey anyway, but this looks like a pretty handy feature!

Nova. I actually really like the One UI launcher anyway, but I'm just used to Nova. Mostly just the extra gestures and the bigger home grid. Not interested much in the cosmetic tweaks it's able to make.

But yeah, One UI is quite good too. I got used to it back when Android gesture nav didn't play nice with 3p launchers.

Thanks, bot. Three of the four suggestions are what I already said I'm not looking for, and as 'you' noted, the fourth isn't available on Android — regardless of it maybe potentially possibly being in the works.

I also can't find any evidence that an Android version of Spectre is in the works...

I hear you, but at the same time, there are so few apps I want to use on a tablet more than I'd prefer to use it on my phone – which is likewise always with me.

Reading comics, watching video, editing photos, drawing, reading meal recipes on the kitchen bench... that's about the extent of my tablet use. Browsing social media? I'd rather do it on my phone. Productivity, notes, gaming? Even that, I'd rather do on my phone – if not my Macbook, of course.

So it's been a pretty easy decision for me to stick with Android tablets, especially Samsung, which obviously ties in well with my S23U.

It does, yeah, but not giving it to you is part of how they've sold so many iPads. Think of how many parents and couples would be happy with one shared multi-user iPad instead of having to buy one for each user.

Aaah, of course. Yeah, none of the options gave me that older picker, apart from Disabled of course.

Apart from Disabled, I tried each of these and didn't get a picker with an overflow menu. Disabled is the only one that allowed me to get to the system media picker.

It is, but I find Infinite Painter is largely up to the task for most of my drawing needs — and what it lacks aren't significant enough reasons to splash out on an ipad.
