As I understand it, Google mostly ships new stuff that they let die because it’s one of the only ways to get a promotion at Google - to ship a product.
Once shipped, the newly promoted staff moves on to something else, and the business people take a look and see if the product actually makes any sense from a financial perspective, which is rarely the case.
I am shocked…shocked! that Google would let a product die on the vine and cease supporting it. Google assistant is dead, long live Gemini assistant!
I Still get their apps confused because of the stupid icon updates…or maybe I stupid and can’t learn new things.
Their new icons are so dumb. I think they thought people would get used to them but no, they’re still bad after several years.
Same, never had that issue with the old logos
It does take me several seconds to realize which one is which, so I sometimes go by their arrangement on my home screen. Avant-garde design, I guess.
Its about generating investor buzzwords and killing off beloved apps every 3-6 months.
