So I switched to a pixel 7 from an iphone 10 xs a few months back, and I’ve absolutely loved it in comparison to the locked down nature of an iphone. So I think to look up material you on YouTube for fun, and decide to read the comments and found that people hated it. Quick googling led to me to find two reddit threads and an article talking about how much they hated it. Personally, I don’t understand the hate, as you can simply choose to have the color be a dullish blue manually.

Idk, it might just be that I haven’t been using android long to care about the fact that material you is being forced.

    Because its messing shit up and many people have wallpaper changers or animated wallpapers.

    Also stop forcing shit on people without having a turnoff button as soon as its implemented.

    Because it’s awful. Minimalism that hides info, while making things harder to see/parse.

    Pixels are great, and they become even better when you install GrapheneOS. It’s super easy and maybe takes 20 minutes, but it substantially improves your privacy and security. I switched from an iPhone to a Pixel running GrapheneOS and I don’t want to ever go back, the experience on Graphene has been great.

    I love it. All of my apps are all the same theme and it’s wonderful. But I wish I could manually set each colour. Even if it’s a setting in dev options.

    I think it looks ugly. It selects the shitties colours possible. That’s why I hate it. Also used to be that I couldn’t turn the damn thing off.

    I hate it because I can’t change my colors now. I get a reddish brown on dark brown. I prefer white on black, which I’ve always had until Material You came along. I’ve researched how to turn it off, and it appears there’s no way to do it on my model of phone.

    I’d be fine with it, if I could disable it. It’s the fact that it chooses your color scheme and you can’t change it that is frustrating.
