Gawd... I just opened the photo gallery app... that redesign is awful. I don't want a bunch of "we're pretending to be facebook so here's a bunch of 'memories' for you" pushed at me. I know what photos I took... I took them. Go away.

The configurable control center pages is nice in theory... but what it does in practice is you open it to use it and try to swipe it back up so you can go back to your homescreen, but instead you end up swiping up the stupid control center page and seeing your media controls instead. That's going to take ages to get used to.

The new more fluid feeling fade in for notifications on the apple watch is nice though. I still hate the redesign from the last version. Reduced functionality for me, as usual.

Just as a heads up, you can edit the sections that show and where they show in the Photos app and you can always swipe control center away if you start at the very bottom of the screen like an app.

Yeah I saw the edit button for the gallery. It’s classic Apple though. Just let you move around their generated nonsense but the app is fundamentally changed interface so might as well just get used to it.

Same thing with the control center. I know I can swipe from the very bottom to clear it. But the point was I didn’t have to do that before so it’s less convenient for someone we didn’t need and wasn’t implemented well.

Remove the additional pages in control center, then you can swipe up to close.
