No fix yet for Samsung. Being reliant on the hardware manufacturer (or network operator?) for OS updates is the crazy world we live in.

I hoped with a move to Fuschia, Google would attempt to fix this, but unfortunately Fuschia on mobile is dead.

It’s “Fuchsia” with a “chs” not a “sch”. Where do you get your information that it’s dead?

As Randall Munroe pointed out in https://blog.xkcd.com/2010/05/03/color-survey-results/, almost nobody knows how to spell "fuchsia" correctly. I only remember it by the mnemonic of it's fuck, but with an s.

It’s helps if you know that the flower the fuchsia, was discovered by Dr Fuchs

Named after, apparently. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuchsia#Taxonomy

> The first to be scientifically described, Fuchsia triphylla, was discovered on the Caribbean island of Hispaniola (Haiti and the Dominican Republic) about 1696–1697 by the French Minim friar and botanist, Charles Plumier, during his third expedition to the Greater Antilles. He named the new genus after German botanist Leonhart Fuchs
