I can't stand that anymore. Every single updates make things more and more unusable, they hide settings, they make buttons bigger for no reasons, &c.

They even managed to butcher the alarm app... it looks like an app designed for visually impaired people (which would be fine if it was an option and not the default/only choice).

At least they changed the options when an alarm is going off from icons to text. I swear every morning it was a challenge to figure out which button was snooze and which one would turn the alarm off completely.

Even gmail, every week it seems I have to search for the compose email button.

When has the compose button ever been anywhere besides in the left sidebar near the top? Or are you talking about on mobile?
