why do i need to update the app so i can see changes. Whats the point of a change log then? I have auto updates off cause it a hassle to revert back to an earlier version if I dont like the changes. I know for a fact the ig update is for their new stupid map feature and AI shit. I will not update unless it stops working completely. Is it so hard to say what specific bug was fixed and what exactly do you mean by performance. why cant it be detailed like this

        I created a folder using Simple Gallery but it couldn’t see it. I created a couple more with the same issue. Google Files saw them just fine. Simple Gallery does see them now. I’m guessing that the issue had something to do with the Android 16 upgrade though I didn’t update the app and there wasn’t a follow-up update to the upgrade.

      Google does a lot of A/B testing, so listing new changes may be pointless as the new features may be available only to select few.

      Also developers have no incentive to document changes. It’s a hassle to compile a list of changes since last release, and people don’t read the Changelog for every release, especially with auto updates on.

      I’d be great if they could at least use an LLM to compile the Changelog
