wow that brings back memories. back then android was truly hideous compared to iOS, unless aided by 3rd party launchers.
It was ugly for the longest time but ahead on several features. I remember the iPhone not having copy and paste for what felt like ages. A lot of the good stuff was on Cydia.
Odd how the tables have turned. Copy-paste is ubiquitous on iOS nowadays, but pretty absent on Android. On Android, I haven't come across a single application that supports copying an image. It's infuriating.
Flutter doesn't even support pasting images at all (so things like messaging apps can't support pasting images). I get an impression that Google/Android want copy-paste to disappear. My favourite conspiracy theory on this is that it's so people will have to use the "share" sheet, which shares links with tracking/analytics (rather than pasting a raw image which cannot be tracked).
