What happened to Xperia Actions?

I changed from Xperia Premium to Xperia XZ3 and I´m really disapponted.

With Xperia XZ3 I lost Xperia Actions, the one and only way to start/stop  airplane mode automatically by time and location. Sony, Why do you strip all this good functions of your phones.

If I want a pure android phone I can buy Google Pixel.

Will this feature come back? Is there any substitution without using google assistant which wil collect all my data, or without rooting?

Kind regards

Yes bring back Xperia Actions. 

Xperia Assist gets its own app icon, but it's useless. Yet Xperia Actions is bury in setting 2 sub clicks.

Xperia Actions be part of the press releases key things to point out. I watched almost every YouTube review out of CES MWC IFA these reviewers regurgitate what info you give them.

Com'mon Xperia Actions makes what a smartphone feel smart. Without it feels like a dumb phone. And nobody wants 3rd party app with ads. 

I personally like Night Mode: to auto turn on portrait mode and ambiet night light as I use my phone laying in bed.

I support the return of Xperia actions.

It still persists on older devices.

I personally like the 'Abroad' function very much.

It gives you control which apps have access while on mobile network abroad.

I've read in another forum that Xperia Actions are missing in Xperia XZ3.

I hope Sony will bring back "The Actions", I find it very usefull too.

Sony, bring it back, please !

I find no other app which includes this functionality.

Hello everyone!

I apoligize for the very late reply to your questions about Xperia Actions.

Xperia Actions was discontinued with the release of Xperia XZ3.

HORRIBLE!

One of the most useful and appreciated feature from Sony costumers discontinued without reasons.

Sony TERRIBLE policies drive it directly into fall, boicotting its users and fans.

@pressefr forget it.

Once permissions are given the app keeps closing and makes your device useless.

Once uninstalled it will function again.

First Themes, now Actions. I regret buying an XZ3. Bump.

Also, Actions helped discipline my sleeping habits not so long ago. As such this leaves this customer quite furious.
