This is exactly what I was going to say. It’s frustrating that Android often feels like a "half-baked" product; I can never rely on it as a daily driver. It’s always "do this, restart, try that, restart again"—the experience is just a mess.

According to ignorant fan girls android does not have bugs.

It’s ironic how people are always quick to blame Apple whenever there’s a cross-platform messaging issue, yet here we are again dealing with a "half-baked" experience on the Android side. It’s frustrating that Google’s own services feel so unreliable for a daily driver.

I have a lot of bugs on my pixel 9 pro Android 17 (stable)... One of them is that if you have more than 1 Google account then you can't even login to google health app (previously Fitbit)!

It is common to hear people claim Android is bug-free, but that is inaccurate. Android is full of issues, and even if new devices have fewer problems, they are still present; some users may simply not notice them because they use different apps. This is exactly why I tell people that Android is nothing like iOS. Furthermore, I have found that when issues do arise, Apple typically resolves them much faster than Google. It feels like an inherently half-baked operating system.

Trust me, you are very wrong. Android is a half-baked OS, which is exactly why it has a reputation for being full of issues.
