Optimization for Social Media apps

[CMJaturservice]

Samsung, may you guys please better optimize your Social Media apps for One UI and Android? At this point it's getting ridiculous how less smooth apps are on here compared to iOS and it's honestly getting old. This goes beyond just the picture quality btw. From getting weird shades of black and grey in Instagram to overlapping menus in Snapchat, it looks and feels terrible. Even YouTube, A NATIVE ANDROID APP is not properly optimized compared to iPhone. Please Samsung optimize these apps because a properly optimized app changes how the software is viewed, felt, seen, and interacted with so please I beg of you Samsung to please optimize social media apps for One UI/Android already. It would make a big difference, I promise. You would close the gap between Android and iOS even further.

I agree 👍🏻 with everything you said 100 percent.

Thank you!!! It's important Samsung hears us out and implements these changes, otherwise it will feel and look cheap, unfinished, and like an afterthought.

Samsung doesn't write those apps. It's on the app devs to optimize for the new OS. Chances are they're waiting for the stable release to update their apps to avoid tweaking every time for each new beta.

[CMJaturservice]

I see but we aren't asking for apps to be altered EVERY beta. That gets redundant after a while. Plus iOS betas are overall smoother than Android betas so it honestly doesn't make sense why they can't optimize their apps one time to be well-rounded, always run smoothly, and never have to be altered in any beta release.

So by the same logic, when Ford comes out with a new concept car, all the big aftermarket manufacturers should change all of their headlights, bug guards, fender extensions, etc etc etc, for the shape and configuration of the new concept car? And when Ford tweaks things a little, they should again change all of those aftermarket parts again? I know there is a difference between hardware and software, but believe me, that sure as **bleep** doesn't make software easier or cheaper to redo with every new iteration.

[CMJaturservice]

No, that's not what I'm saying...I'm saying they should optimize it where it wouldn't have glitches or issues on betas or official software, and that is what they have done with iOS. I am not saying they should heavily optimize it once every new software release.

[CEParsons]

My understanding is that this is outside of Samsung's control and would require third-party devs to optimize for samsung hardware.

Even that presents difficulty because Samsung has such a wide lineup devices, from the A series to the S series to the Z series.

The difference between iOS and Android is no choice vs endless choice. There is no possible way for devs to optimize for every possible device. It is one-size-fits-all by necessity.

[Ocaji]

They should prioritize the flagship models and make a one size for every other model based off the main ones, only makes sense that the most expensive devices should recieve some kind of premium treatment otherwise what's the point

[CMJaturservice]

Exactly my point!!!

I see where you're coming from, but Samsung has more control than ever for their software plus you don't have to optimize for every phone made by Samsung that runs Android. You could honestly just do it for the Flagships plus the Midrange phones and that's it.
