Text editing on a phone is so god damn fucking bad, I've contemplated ditching smartphones for flip phones.
I'm glad to see someone else acknowledge this. I get "ok boomer" responses, or people looking at me like I'm growing a second face on my ass. Reactions are even worse than when you mention how shitty Word is as a text editor or word processor.

Autocompletion based on my previous behaviors would be great, too: If I just googled “The Shining” in Android Chrome then open the Netflix app, Android should know to autofill the Netflix search bar with the completion (and select it, for easy deletion).
