The app pages now have an annoying search box at the bottom that is apparently a permanent feature now.

 

Otherwise haven't noticed any real difference yet.

I guess that only matters if you use the stock launcher?

I do indeed.  Never bothered looking into adding more stuff over the top (or where ever launchers sit).

Scrolling between pages doesn't make it disappear.  And I don't have more than one page worth of apps on each page so there's no vertical scrolling needed.

 

I can understand how it might be useful for people who don't group their apps page by page.

I installed the update and everything seems the same. It's claiming a bunch more AI features, not that I really used any on the phone before. Call screening could be useful, maybe call live translation.

 

Does anyone have the new camera / document scanner upgrades? That looks useful.

Ahh, I see.  It disappears about 3/4 down the settings then returns when you stop scrolling, and only disappears on down scroll.  Weird, but I'm not in the settings too often.
