    I seen teens without being able to make a folder in windows because they only use phones, so.

      I truly hate that phones don’t readily have file browsers and folders, and when you do add them, they aren’t effective. Mostly that would be useful when moving files between phone and computer. It’s not simple even to get the computer to mount the phone’s drive, probably because everyone is fine with having all their files “in the cloud.”

        Super annoying because all the earlier smart phones did have all that, even early Android. The OSes just keep getting more dumbed down and locked down to the point that I went from a phone enthusiast to despising all smart phones.

          Not only that but the physical phones themselves are dumping features while charging the same or often increased prices…

          My current phones literally being held together with tape but wanting a current phone with an SD card and headphone jack has seriously limited my options.

            I am right there with you. My Pixel 4a is still going, but there doesn’t appear to much anything on the market to replace it that doesn’t have a boatload of caveats.

        Torrenting on Android does exist, but it’s such a battery suck that seeding is unsustainable unless your mobile device is plugged in all the time. Which makes it not-so-mobile.

        And then there’s mobile plan data limits.
