    These topics are closely related, as Android is a Google product. They develop Android. And they’re regularly leading the way with new developments. Good and bad. I think that’s why you see a mix of Android and Google news here.

      I’m also ok if both of them are posted here, as most people use android with Google Play Services (GMS). But I’m annoyed when the two used as a synonyms. E.g “Android will get a new XY feature” than I open the article and I see it will be a feature of GMS not mainline android.

      On a basic news website, or even in a more casual lemmy community I wouldn’t be bothered with this. But we should be a bit more professional in a dedicated android community, with less clickbaity titles.

      BTW I use microG

        This is what I’m saying. People just mix Google with android. Like even if google photos get a feature they say it’s an android feature.

          Yeah, your original post didn’t include your reasoning. I wasn’t sure if you were going for something like this or talking about the occasional Maps or GMail post, or just didn’t know who’s behind Android.

          I think this isn’t a community like the political ones where you argue and get banned. I think you can talk openly here. Best, include some reasons why you think something, and I think people will understand. A lot of us are in the same boat.

        I feel you,
        I hoped more blogs articles, tips, hacks, underground news, related to android instead, any news clickbaits just to make contents.
