Revision history [back]

I was wondering why only a few native apps I have downloaded (six to be precise - all from Jolla) use the possibility to put some app settings in "Settings - Apps"?

None of the other native apps I have downloaded from the store use this possibility for app settings. If they have "settings" or "options", it is put in the Pulley menu of the app.

It seems to me that the idea was to have "settings" or "options" in "Settings - Apps" (otherwise why would this part of the Settings exist?).

Update by @anandrkris: There is a strong case on why we need it for certain (utility) apps without any app page. Below apps have their setting pages are not easily discoverable unless you read the App Description page. ;)

2. Battery overlay

Also, now that Android apps are shown, it makes sense for native apps to be available here.

update: years later in SFOSv2.0.2.51 the situation has not changed
