Saying "I'm not sure if Android has caught up" when Android is decades ahead of Apple in that regard is some kind of... something.

Certainly wasn’t ahead with the stock file manager that came with my last Android phone.

What about after you spent the two seconds to install a different file manager?

Ghost Commander was better but I think I still prefer the iOS Files app.

Your Samsung or whatever manufacturer bloated trash ≠ Android.

I used the AOSP app I think? I’d usually agree with you but in this case I really wanted some more bloat because that one was dire :)

That also could have been from the phone manufacturer OR from the carrier.

This is why I've avoided non Pixel phones since the Pixel5 came out. None of that 2 or 3 apps for the same thing so everybody can get their ad cut payout.
