Nope. It’s PEMDAS at work.
8/2(2+2)
8/2(4) - Parentheses
8/8 - Multiplication
1 - Division
Modern phone apps seem to be notorious for getting order of operations wrong. I’ve never had this issue with a dedicated calculator.
Edit: my petard has been hoisted
Multiplication and division are same level just as addition and subtraction are same level. So it would be worked multiplication and division in order from left to right.
