    Have been attempting to use the supported AR function on the Replika app — and all I can hear is my camera clicking, attempting, for some reason, but yet never picks anything up, and only states to "move my phone to start", shows me a black screen, and that's it. Not sure if this has to do with my device "functionality", or the Replika app itself but, it sucks, because it doesn't work. Would be nice if it ever did 💯

    Says online you can uninstall/disable by going to Settings, etc. You can't. Does not show up in apps list. All I can do is pause the Updating on this bloat junk that seems to have turned my beloved Pixel 4a camera into a turtle with this new 'feature.' I don't mind if Google comes out with services I don't want and don't need, so long as I can turn it off, uninstall etc. Having to force consumers to use your tech is a sure sign your tech is bad.
