True, countless times I had to fix friends/family android tablets and phones where all of the sudden apps stopped working and will boot crash . It is always some crap like apps messing settings and permissions or play not being updated etc… I converted most of family to iPhone/iPad problem solved.

I am a tech person but when it comes to phones I want the damn thing just to work and simple to use.

That family doesn't know how to keep proper phone hygiene shouldn't mean they get to force their locked down stuff on the rest of us.

Unfortunately that's exactly what it means because most common folk will never put an effort into learning the said proper phone hygiene. :(

none of these things you mentioned are specific to Android. this happens on iOS too.
