Is that on their version of Android or e/OS? This is the exact thing that has kept me from even coming close to purchasing one of these without handling one first.

That's with Fairphone's own OS. I stuck it out until the Android 16 update but that introduced a load more bugs so I swapped it for a Pixel 10a.

I also tried iodéOS which was a slight improvement but still pretty buggy.
