    Isn’t the opposite?

    Saving in downloads on Android doesn’t need additional storage permissions, so apps will save in the big “trash can” downloads folder

    Instead, who the fuck knows where iOS saved that file, where every app is sandboxed and isolated

      The worst is when an android app is clearly an iOS port. E.g Patreon app saves all files under a generic name rather than the one you get when saving the same file from a browser, because I guess on iOS it just goes into your camera reel without a filename anyway. Or how Bluesky app just straight up says “saved to your camera reel” and puts it in your DCIM folder, with no option to specify a different location.

        The worst is when an android app is clearly an iOS port.

        This always means there are zero settings. If there’s no way of configuring the app, I find an alternative. There are few things more frustrating than software that assumes one size fits all.

      True, the folder is pretty easy to find and always the same.

      Although the big problem is how quickly that folder can get messy.

      Mine is filled with so much pdf files that i never want to sort, sometimes there’s duplicates because i didn’t want to scroll to find the first one so i downloaded it a second time.
