This is a “feature” that was only ever available in India. It still sucks, but that’s a pretty rage-baity headline.
Ah yes, only in the country with the world’s biggest population and an android market share of 95%
they should have specified in the title anyway.
This needs to be a rule in most communities, country ALWAYS needs to be specified. You can’t ask for it to be specified for one country and not the other.
It’s also really disingenuous to show a picture of a passport. Because people’s only copy of their passport is a JPG inside Files?
I mean I’ve used the photo of my passport I’ve had favourited on my phone whenever my passport number/a scan of my passport has been needed for about the last 10 years, so it’s at least an inconvenience to just delete them rather than moving them to documents/files or whatever
They are deleting the files instead of moving them out of the feature they automatically included. Man Google just keep sucking.
Yeah, well, at least it only affects important official documents. /s
“Don’t Be Evil”
remember when internet companies were cool and benevolent?
No? Because despite what they said they were still companies. All those words about not being evil, etc, etc, etc were just PR, nothing else.
In the early days of the internet a lot of these companies were entirely made of nerds who just wanted to create cool shit.
But as they got bigger they all went the same way.
Don’t be evil
Notice to users: Please do the needful!
So what, Indian users had their important files automatically marked as important, and then deleted? How is this a feature and not the opposite?
Literally just keep all saved files and make it manual for users to set their important files. These companies have no clue on how to keep any app.
WTF? I’m not sure if my files will get deleted. I wish google were a bit less evil and notify me of what i’m getting deleted.
