What’s the tiniest thing about iOS / iPadOS / macOS that really bugs you? (self.apple_enthusiast)

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.

In fairness, most apps have a swipe action to go back. The button is almost vestigial.

What? Where do you swipe and on which direction?

from the left screen edge towards right.

To switch apps, you swipe left and right along the little bar along the bottom of the screen. You can also swipe up on it to go to the app switcher view.

Not to return to the previous app. Here in Denmark, we often have to logon through an official logon app. But to return to the app logging into, you must either press upper left corner or manually switch app. Swiping from the left, will not exit and return to previous app
