This problem seems exacerbated by increasing number of stakeholders involved with feature development. Especially ones that you can't easily say no to.
This is often communicated as too many project managers involved with a program. Hilariously visible in something like GMail. I can quickly count about 5 badges on my page of numbers that I don't think I'll ever actually care about.
Gets more difficult with things like disaster alerts. These are, generally, life saving. But, as we have gotten better at detecting things, it can feel silly if we have them too often. (My favorite is the alarm people have when they start to learn that coyotes are always passing through the yard.)
- browningstreet 1y agoMy favorite no-longer-works feature: I have a classic car and I used to be able to sit my phone upside down in the drink holder, so that the power port could be connected to the power cable, and the iPhone would rotate the screen around so I could still use navigation. Somewhere along the line, iOS/Google Maps/Apple Maps will no longer rotate the screen upside down. This just can't be done anymore.

Oh, I just noticed a few minutes ago that Watsapp has 4 main-screen tabs now. Not that any one besides "chat" is useful for anything... And the "search for contact" functionality didn't go into any of them, apparently it was just replaced with "talk to AI".
