What are your favorite quality-of-life phone updates?

Definitely the anti-reflective display on my S24 Ultra & it's overall performance compared to that of my S22 Ultra (& 14 Pro Max).

I like features related to RCS and the Google Messages app. Not really "QoL updates", but the features they've added over the past 2 years have been extremely beneficial and exciting.

Matter networks finally seems to be doing what they were sold to do last year? Took the manufacturers the better part of two years to start talking to each other, and since the latest update, late summer I think it was, it just seems to work now. No unresponsive devices and no random ghost Matter networks popping up.

I would have to say the S24U display is absolutely incredible with its anti glare coating, it's nice brightness and it's color reproduction, and obviously the smooth 120Hz refresh rate, it really sets it apart. I also have to give a thumbs up to Google Messages for it's smoothness and intuitive approach. It just works well and now with most people using RCS it makes it even better, and we can see Google is putting a lot of work on it, there have been weekly updates with useful features.
