Android Authority has found evidence of an in-progress “organizer” feature for home screens on Pixel phones.
The feature would let users create home screens that automatically populate with apps of a specified type, as well as rearrange and delete individual home screens.
The “automatically create based on category” feature is meh, but being able to rearrange entire screens is a staple of custom launchers and it’s shocking that the Pixel launcher doesn’t have it. If you want to rearrange a window you have to delete everything and start fresh.
I don’t know how long it’s been since I’ve use a default launcher.
Over 15years at least.Congrats…
Don’t care. Still won’t use it, as I’m sick of them mandating the Google search widget on the main screen that you can’t remove, and now all the gemini Ai garbage I don’t want.
Been using Nova Prime for over 15 years and I don’t see why I wouldn’t just keep using that.
I’ve heard that the free version of Nova Launcher has malicious trackers, and the original developer left. Funny, it still works well on my Galaxy S10. If I’d been mooching the free version all this time, I’d pay up, but I’d feel bad my money didn’t go to the original developer. But I haven’t, and I did, and my money did go to him.
I’m an iPhone user first, but let’s be honest, even with the ability to place an icon to the right of or below an empty space (which took Apple over a decade and who knows how much Courage to implement, fucking LOL), this is one area Android has simply dominated. The way my Galaxy S10 is set up is impossible to recreate with an iPhone… and in fact a lot of stock launchers.

Don’t play stupid, nobody said it would stop working.
It sounds like Branch is no longer developing Nova since the last dev (the founder) left. But old apps will work until the OS no longer supports the API the app was written for.
That said, you’d be actually stupid if you don’t think Branch is sucking up your data.
