The iOS message interface, specifically the audio message button. I goddamned always hit that goddamned recording button right after hitting send, or sometimes when picking up my phone if the screen is still on. And then I have to both x the recording to stop it, and delete the blank 1-5 second message. Just put that button somewhere else like on the other side, not replacing the send button. It sucks. I hate it passionately.
Happens multiple times a day, drives me absolutely batty. I have literally never used speech to text or voice messages on my phone, except by accident. And I don’t want to, either. I’d like to disable it but 1. I haven’t found a way, and 2, I assume if I manage to do so, it will cause other problems, like it’ll probably disable speech to text on my watch also (which I do want to keep, because I’ve used it there), because Apple -sucks- at user control and configuration.
Also, the fact that I can’t change ringtones to non-default options without either spending money or going through a massive process to convert an existing ringtone with their software, which conveniently only runs on Mac (which I don’t have because fuck apple walled garden bullshit). Seriously, wtf is that shit? Greedy swine.
I don’t think I have ever done that. But don’t you have to hold it down now to record? Probably to fix this exact issue.
No, it still only takes a single press, just checked it.
there's other ways to change ringtones
I’m all ears. Cuz I’ve looked and can’t find any way to use the set of tones I had on my android. I have them saved on my phone, and spent days trying to find a solution. I really hate the default tones.
Only options I’ve found were buy sounds through iTunes (or possibly another shitty app with minimal options), or use garage band to convert them, which is apple software and only compatible with Mac. Sure I could hypothetically set up a vm of Mac, but that’s a lot of work for something I shouldn’t have to do a lot of work on at all.
If you know of a different way, do tell.
