Every Android phone I've used for years has had the option to show battery percentage in the menu. It takes Real Strength of Character and True Resolve is to choose to set it to Off. You don't need it. You are a better person when you have the choice to use it, but do not.

SMS/MMS are bad for texting on any platform, so Google worked with carriers to fix it. Yes, it's been messy - it's a hard problem. But sunsetting SMS/MMS and replacing it with something better is what's right for users. Do what's right for your users, Apple. #GetTheMessage
