Even better would be if Android were to stop popping up its own stupid notifications. Since getting a new Android 6 phone (stock Moto G4 Play), I've seen:
• regular pop-ups explaining how to do basic things with my phone like swipe (thanks Google, I already know all of this, please get out of my way, I am busy);
• pop-ups in Google Maps trying to tell me where to eat (no Google, I do not want your paid recommendations that cover half the screen); and
• audio pop-ups (!) telling me how to do hands-free chat while I'm playing music through a loudspeaker (seriously… WTF??)
None of which I have been able to figure out how to disable.
These notifications make the interface seem unreliable, childish, and unrefined. Is there not someone at Google – like Jobs – who has the authority and charge to identify and stamp out these user-hostile behaviors, and the flawed internal processes that reward managers/developers who implement them?
