TIL that on iOS 17, if you press long on the + button on iMessage, it’ll automatically open the Gallery. (alien.top)

That’s been happening in iPhone software for literally 16 years

Apple didn’t even support “long press” as a standard input model until the iPhone 6S because the UX sucks. They did it “the Apple way” with 3D Touch but we all know how that shook out. Now we just have normal Android-inspired long press.

Cute easter eggs are one thing, but genuine functionality behind hidden inputs is like the antithesis of the iPhone.
