Have a google pixel smartphone , quite nice , no "clutter" if you like
I am not particularly savvy with smartphones , quite ok with IT generally pc & mac laptops just haven't got the "time at the wheel" on smartphone
But would like to ditch some of prompts & stuff pixel has decided to start involving me in. Just today went to a beach in Sydney & started getting all these prompts from google maps to review stuff nearby
Just not interested in this , how do you disable all this annoying smartphone stuff ? Like I say I like the handset but I don't want to be the Google man living the google life
Also if you have the gmail app , is their anyway to lock it , or will it always open when you tap on it. Just don't want everyone knowing my whole if they happen to pick up my phone
Thanks guys - what a grumpy old twit I have become
