Are the small apps still available on the 7.1.1 update for the Z5 Compact?
Also is there any chance of bringing back the small apps bar at the bottom of the screen when you press the context menu button? This disappeared with the 7.0 update and I was really annoyed as the small apps can't now be customised and are hidden inconveniently in an extra button press at the top left of the screen.
I understand that this is something to do with confirming to the Nougat style, but one of the main reasons I bought this phone over the now-cheaper X or Xc was for the small apps, especially quick access to the small calculator next to open pages, and for ease of access to them. So it was a big shock to me when the small apps bar disappeared in 7.0 - this was not publicised and made a major feature of the phone a lot less useful.
The stacked windows of recent apps and the split-screen mode are awkward, and none of those third-party free-form window/ multitasking apps work properly.
So please can someone confirm whether the small apps still exist in 7.1.1, and can Sony consider reinstating the small apps bar at the bottom of the screen when you press the context menu button? (This wouldn't take up too much space and you would still be able to see the annoying stack of recent apps that isn't useful.)
