    Maybe developers will finally start implementing predictive back now that it’s not hidden behind developer options. It’s kinda nice when you can just peek at where the app wants to take you when you go back, and it currently ironically tends to be implemented only by apps that already have decently made navigation.

    Also private space seems nice, finally a way to use the work profile sandbox natively without having to install third party apps that pretend to be work profile managers.
