AI in mobile phones is about to make that app hoarding habit so 2023! Among the best tech trends of 2024, we’re witnessing something that’s going to change everything about how you use your phone.
No thanks. I would also like to see news that I don’t necessarily like, from sources I might not necessarily agree with.

No.
I hate adaptive UIs. MS ribbon made it so hard to find what you were looking for, and UIs that change menus situationally suck. A UI that “predicts” what I want and constantly dicks with my content, so that when it’s wrong I have to search around for what I really want because it’s now buried in some random location… sounds like hell.

I even turn off the “frequently used apps” features on android launchers. If I frequently use it, I’ve already put it in a prominent spot so I can access it easily. I don’t need some frecency algorithm or ai to tell me I use something frequently, I already know!
Knowing exactly where something is every time is far better than that thing I’m looking for being buried because I want to use it during a time of day that I don’t normally

This is the most egregious instance of this practice. I hate icons being shuffled.

You’re better off. Probably save money that way.
Case in point: every time I enter the car and pair to Bluetooth, my suggested apps are Maps, Spotify, Dunkin, and something else.
Having the Dunkin app right there is the best marketing. All of a sudden I start thinking about how much I want a coffee and where the Dunkin’s are on my route.

Thank you. It’s one thing to update and modernize an UI. It’s another thing to constantly change where everything is.
Looking at you, control panel.
