No option to remove close all

Suitcase1 — Fri, 15 May 2015 16:28:55 GMT

So what pushed me over the edge with the Z3 was the option to remove the small apps and close all button.

With the latest update adding the close all button back, but unremovable, I'm slightly annoyed.

Could we please have the option to block or hide the package as we did on KitKat please? Or at least move the button so its not right under your thumb.
People shouldn't be compulsively closing all apps, messes with androids memory management.

@Suitcase

This has been asked before and it is available in some regions and it will be added on future updates.

Could you possibly link to these threads for me to keep an eye on?

Thanks

That is not the issue that I have, that is advocating for re-adding close all.

I want to have the option to hide/remove the close all button, which was possible on KitKat.

@Suitcase

My bad, you should suggest this to Sony directly

also, you could flash another firmware that doesn't have this option.

Wouldn't that mean a downgrade and missing out on bug fixes? Or are do some regions not have the close all but are up-to-date?

Which version do you currently have? But indeed you will have to downgrade.
