Messages offering to auto-delete 2FA codes after 24 hours must be new with Android 14? Honestly that kind of thing is my favorite kind of new phone feature, somebody just noticing a small, easily solvable annoyance and fixing it.

Where's that option located?
Got a pop-up asking if I wanted to turn it on when I opened Messages this afternoon -- might've been the first time since the update that I actually opened the app rather than just like replying in a notification. Pixel 6a on Fi.

Weird thing my parents do with their phones is without meaning to or understanding what happened, dragging icons onto and all around the home page, even dragging them off to new pages which confuses them even more, and that's when you get a call from the other's phone asking why "my buttons went away".

So on my Pixel 8a I've had for maybe two weeks I just got this notification about enabling "Screen Protector Mode", said to improve touch recognition when using a screen protector. Never heard of that, is that new?

(I did enable it but can't tell any difference yet.)

You can have multiple fingerprints registered. If it isn't registering the current hosed up state of your finger, just re-register it as a new fingerprint. Cover all your pruned and non-pruned bases.
I usually do register duplicates of my thumb and index finger on new phones but I have never actually thought to do it just after washing my hands, which is when it most often fails.

I would like to be able to toggle DnD from the quick settings with a single click like I'm used to, but that seems like the kinda thing they might tweak in the next iteration so I'll hold off on complaining.

Could be there and I just missed it? I looked at the Modes settings and looked to see if there was maybe a dedicated tile you could add to quick settings but didn't see anything.

My android just went a bit wonky. I have 2 languages (english and romanian) installed on my phone, 2 keyboards at least
I've got the (standard Google) Japanese keyboard installed, rarely type on it much but occasionally see Android UX text show up in Japanese for no apparent reason. Never persistent like that, it's usually like a transient message that pops up and goes away but yeah, it does just happen.

4)my calendar widget was showing dates and times in japanese.
Oh that's exactly the one I was thinking of -- on reboots or whatever when all the elements of the home screen were repopulating the calendar widget would show something along the lines of "読み込む" instead of "Loading..."
