It's video recorded from both front and rear cameras simultaneously. There's an example on here. Terrible name though.

'Doubletake' would a better name. But what happened to the good old days of asking a passing stranger to take a photo of the two of you?

The notification should be in the "by the way" section: it should be at the bottom of the notifications, it should only be a single line, and it shouldn't put an icon in the status bar. Is that not the case?

All of those things are true, it's still really annoying. A notification should be of something you actually want to be notified of.

Also, in the case of Twilight, the notification that it's running in the background isn't doing the single line thing.

Yes, and believe me, an app running a foreground service that is choosing down on your battery is something most people want to be notified of. This isn't supposition, and this change wasn't made lightly (I've read the product design doc.)

I'm not completely sure but I think this is something the app developer can change in an update.

My S7 started showing me more notifications recently, without me changing any settings or asking for them, yes you can turn them off and tell them to fuck off when they appear - but as a general rule I think a device changing its behaviour for 'reasons' is a bad idea.

Actually the only notifications that do seem a bit frequent are the ones asking me to review places. I even got one a couple of months ago asking me to review a motorway junction off the M6.

All the roads were in the right place. Would use again. 7/10.

I like the 'suggested replies' on the Gmail app. An invite from a friend to do something on a Friday, say, invariably comes up with 'Yes!', 'Looking forward to it', and 'See you there', and excludes the possibility that I might wish to decline.

I find the traffic updates really useful. I often get a notification on my watch about another snarl up on the M6 on the way home and I can sometimes avoid it as a result.

I tried to conduct an entire email conversation using them. My friend ended up thinking I was being a facetious prick.

How do you know he wasn't using them too?

I use them loads, now.

'25 minutes to work, the usual traffic'. Yeah cheers, fuck off.

Another for the “wireless charging is a pointless gimmick” gang here. It’s just so slow, and isn’t really any more convenient than plugging a cable in.

Obviously it's slow as balls.

That's utter rubbish.

The emboldened part, anyway. Obviously it's slow as balls.

I have a circular pad thing that you need to make sure the phone is placed correctly on. Doesn’t seem much more convenient than plugging a reversible cable into. If you could just place it down anywhere on your nightstand it’d be a different argument.

Do you have to plug it in?

Of course not, it works on magic.
