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.

Separate volume sliders in iOS for ringtone,media, notification, and alarms

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Fucking this, it really kills me me that after all this time we still don’t have this level of configuration. There is clearly a difference between alarm volume and audio volume, so give us separate sliders!

Agreed. And why can we not permanently change the Timer notification sound? If you change it in app, then close, it will revert to the Redial sound. And unlike the Alarm, Ring tone, etc, there’s no option to change it in settings. So annoying.

This is still not a thing???

I decided to get an 15 this year after using Pixels for a while. I haven't seen it if it exists...

Ringtone volume is set under “Sounds & Haptics” in settings.

It’s a “sticky” setting in that, if you have “change with buttons” turned off, you have to go back to settings to adjust the notification/ringtone volume, but I’ve always treated ringtones as on/off rather than specific volume levels, because of the silent switch. I don’t ever want my phone to ring loud, so I have the volume set low just in case I happened to forget to put it in silent mode.

Thanks, that's a bit helpful. I think Apple could take a few steps or design changes to make these easier to adjust in a single place using the buttons. I think I'm still very used to android though, so maybe I'm just whining.

It should be in control center, or configurable to be put there.
