First of all the upgrade removed my pinned contacts and apps, so I had to start the game of whack a mole all over again. The default suggested apps and contacts were apps I never used and people I never contact.
You get 5 options now instead of 4 which is ok, but you can’t have two rows of favorites. Just one. The first pinned app slot is now taken up by a permanent “nearby share” icon that can’t be removed so you basically have 4 pinned app slots.
I still haven’t been able to pin the handful of individuals I share things with yet. Hopefully eventually they are graced by the algorithm lords and show up some day so I can pin them.
I feel like most people don’t understand that there is a default share menu for the OS providers but the vast majority of apps create their own (which are significantly worse).
The Android 14 share menu works great for me. The people and apps I share stuff with are always there. 🤷
