Smooth update to Android 12 (France, Free).
Mine too. It just says “Initialising …”. Waste of screen estate.
Other update side effects: Lost all Web bookmarks and other shortcuts (contacts for example) from the home screen. Very annoying. Similar to
[Edit] Screenshot button has disappeared.
After a reboot (actually a shutdown and fresh start) the Gg search bar is now active (with the engine of my choice).
