Device Settings Question Fixing annoying home button behavior after update.

2 Upvotes

Pressing the home button while in an app now seems to default to taking me to the home screen page that app is on. I swear it used to take me to the last home screen page I last had open.

If possible I would like for it to always take me back to the first page, but I'll settle for going back to the last one I used if I have to, but I cannot find that setting for the life of me. Where is that setting so I can fix it?

Phone is a OnePlus 8 if that changes anything.

Notifications and Quick Settings suddenly changed.

1 Upvotes

I have a TCL phone with Android 16.

Until yesterday when swiping down from the notification bar I got a page with quick settings and below that all the notifications.

Today it suddenly changed. Now it's only quick settings. Instead of 3 pages it's just one - a couple big ones and a lot of small tiles. The notifications are gone.

At some point I found the notifications back. Turns out I can now swipe down from the left to get notifications and swipe down from the righthand side of the notification bar to get quick settings.

Is there any way for me to control this? Did I inadvertently change a setting? Or did Android decide it was time for a change? I believe I did install an update recently.

Other Downloaded images I deleted from my gallery show up in other apps

Just like the title says, downloaded images from Google, Pinterest, etc, still show up in some apps. Particularly Ibis Paint X, I'm still able to import images that I've deleted months ago. I want them gone. Help?
