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.

The iOS message interface, specifically the audio message button. I goddamned always hit that goddamned recording button right after hitting send, or sometimes when picking up my phone if the screen is still on. And then I have to both x the recording to stop it, and delete the blank 1-5 second message. Just put that button somewhere else like on the other side, not replacing the send button. It sucks. I hate it passionately.

Happens multiple times a day, drives me absolutely batty. I have literally never used speech to text or voice messages on my phone, except by accident. And I don’t want to, either. I’d like to disable it but 1. I haven’t found a way, and 2, I assume if I manage to do so, it will cause other problems, like it’ll probably disable speech to text on my watch also (which I do want to keep, because I’ve used it there), because Apple -sucks- at user control and configuration.

Also, the fact that I can’t change ringtones to non-default options without either spending money or going through a massive process to convert an existing ringtone with their software, which conveniently only runs on Mac (which I don’t have because fuck apple walled garden bullshit). Seriously, wtf is that shit? Greedy swine.

I don’t think I have ever done that. But don’t you have to hold it down now to record? Probably to fix this exact issue.

No, it still only takes a single press, just checked it.
