For me it’s just another way to getting burn in screen

Carl yeah, i don’t like it either. first, it feels like a typical Chinese software experience, and second, i agree with you. i never thought about having it on my phone because i don’t need it.

my brother have realme phone and they don’t use this slide bar and its moderate like some people is like and some not …

Carl One good feature from Oxygen OS sjdebar is the ‘file dock’; it acts like a temporary clipboard for images and other files while copying from one app to another. While texts & images can now be stored within the keyboard clipboard itself, saving it in the dock gives it a chance to be more private, I guess? (Since the keyboard is either by Google or third party)

@Carl

I personally understand both sides of the debate, since i do find usefulness on opening and closing apps quickly without needing to transition from one screen to another (MIUI implements floating apps and things like quick notes beautifully, in my opinion) .

Now, bias aside, I think the healthiest way to solve the dilemma between users who need the sidebar and users who don’t want it because “bloat”, is to simply expose the OS activity for launching apps directly on floating mode. That way, if users really want to add the feature, they could just do it through third-party sidebar apps that can shortcut said activities.

No idea if there’s hard-coded restrictions for those, or if it posits a privacy issue, but, a priori, seems pretty doable.

Instead of a sidebar . How about a side universal clipboard to store everything that I have copied and can be brought automatically when needed through swipe or through some new gestures

    I know . But for that we need to access it through keyboard. But I am talking about an universal clipboard similar to File dock from OnePlus feature.

    The idea is to copy anything image, video, zip files, html etc and store it and access them in any application through a swipe from side.

    This can make the user experience more amazing

    Something that makes your daily tasks easier and is a useful feature on your phone should be added. Here are some pictures, you can add everything you need to the quick bar

      This is on another phone (OnePlus), there is no answer yet as to whether it will appear in future updates.

      Carl It could have something like the file dock which is awesome and very intuitive to use.
