        Why make things hard for themselves in the first place?
        Since that's the case they should rapidly start cleaning up their code then..
        Unless they want a even bigger mess they can't get out from which looks like it's their plan, lol.

A lot more checks and balances are needed to be done for Android. I guess they figured why make people wait when it was ready.

                            Anonymous, 14 Mar 2018RIP Android users that like darkI like the dark because for:
                            1- My eyes don't have to suffer & burn from the bright white light whenever especially at night.
                            2- A dark theme/background/wallpaper reduces battery drain.

                              It's harder to do this to Android apps as the OS is much more fragmented and inconsistent across devices.

                                Google should prioritise releasing apps & updates to Android first as its their own born & bred baby.

                                It seems like iOS is the blondie which everyone tries to please to desperately get in between her legs not anticipating what outcome or consequence that may have.
