As much as I don’t like negative threads, there’s one thing in iOS that really irritates me, and I want to air it…

Pressing and holding the tab button in Safari to access tab groups, should have a haptic response.

Because it doesn’t, I often end up opening the tab view instead, so I have to huff a little, hit Done, then try again. I don’t know why it annoys me that it doesn’t because none of the other buttons in Safari do, but I feel like it should.

No, I have not contacted Tim Apple about this. Yes, I probably should.

My tiny gripe…

On iOS, I have set a couple weekly to-do items (recurring) that all have sub-tasks….

Except there isn’t a way to just see the subtasks? I have to click into the reminder, scroll down to subtasks and click into that.

What the heck?!?

Apple Watch 10 removed the option for pinning apps to the Task Switcher. It's now way more inconvenient to scroll through the App List to find what I want at that moment.

in Safari on the iphone you have the searchbar at the bottom but on the ipad you have it on the top and can't change it...

The tab view in Safari was changed from a Rolodex like view to tiny cards. But the cards are often too small to read, forcing me to click it to see what is on it. I end up leaving 30 tabs open because I don’t know if one is safe to close.

You Turn off mobile data.

“Your mobile data is offline” OK to continue.

No shit 💩

The command/control split is a constant source of annoyance. I really wish they would just abandon that one and get with the rest of the world.

You mean move stuff like copy and paste to CTRL?

I super disagree with that, personally. It’s so much more comfy to move your thumb slightly over to hit Option than it is to reach a pinky down to hit CTRL.

[–] Asifall@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

If command was just the control key moved over I wouldn’t have a problem with it, the issue is that the control key still exists and is used in a lot of applications, often inconsistently. It’s a constant frustration to me when I hit the wrong one either due to muscle memory or simply because I forgot how each specific application is set up.

The argument for separation the command and control keys isn’t entirely wrong as using the control key for gui shortcuts was always a bit of a hack, but OSX doesn’t actually have any way to enforce the separation there, so it just makes the user experience worse in 3rd party applications which weren’t written primarily for OSX, which is unfortunately the case for most applications I use.

CarPlay at least for me is a mess after every update, audio just cuts out and reconnecting has no effect until my iPhone is reset and car turned off and on

When you click on an app icon on the dock, on an app that is already open with several minimized windows, it doesnt expand the most recently used window. This is especially with Mail and Preview.

[–] TwinTusks@bitforged.space 2 points 11 months ago

I dislike having icons on home screen, I use drawers and the only place that has icon is the dock.

  • No back button or consistent back action, can't swipe back from either side of the screen like you can with Android.
  • When there is a back button, it's in the #1 most inaccessible part of the screen
  • Can only use Safari (other brosers are just themed Safari)
  • Because you can't have other browsers, you can't have browser plugins.
  • You can use a custom keyboard... But only sometimes. It won't let you do it for passwords. This is very frustrating as their stock keyboard sucks ass and you don't have that muscle memory, they should just do it all the time.
  • iMessage
  • Inability to side load apps or install from places outside the app store that extorts developers

These are a few things that if resolved, would make me decide to use iOS over Android.

Clipboard management on iOS. At least I can get Maccy on macOS, but on iOS I’m just stuck to suffer through copy/paste hell.
