Apple

When watching something on Apple TV, long press the Dynamic Island and use the volume buttons to lower/raise the volume. Don’t have to swipe to find the remote, can stay in your current app. It’s so funky!!!!!

iOS has so many of these small things I have no idea about.

Oh shit! I never knew that! Thanks!

I abs hate the new box list and ui of iMessages text box and where voice memos is now. Idk why they refuse to copy or be inspired by the way whatsapp with voice messages it’s so much better and easier to use. Even ios 16 iMessage was better than this iteration with the exception of the newly added voice message transcription. This iOS 17 iMessage user experience is just too many taps to get where u need and so clunky.

Yes, welcome to the party.

I think that button should automatically pop when you long press it. Right now you have to guess when it's okay to let go because it will currently let you hold it forever.

That's nice. Now I just need to find someone who actually uses iMessage...

Thank you!!!!! That’s an awesome shortcut!

I sat turning up my volume for way too long before I realized what you meant lol.

That’s handy!

Oh Christ thank you so much

If you disable dictation, voice memos is moved to the right of the text box in messages (I'm on iOS 17, iPhone 15 Pro).

It looks like this.

Wife is happy to learn this. Thanks

Mind blown...iOS features have gotten to the point where I figure most of the daily useful features here or through any unofficial sources.

I was today years old when I learned this.

In iOS 16 the gallery was just one tap away tho.

Wow, what an innovation!

Would be nice if hitting that + button gave you a little feedback vibration when opening the gallery.

I didn’t know this. I just tried and it works. Thanks a lot.

That has saved me almost an hour a year of my life!

When editing portrait photos, you don’t have to reach up to the top left to switch between depth and Portrait Lighting – you can just tap the F icon along the bottom tray to switch!

Thank you 🥹 I wish they would have left it how it was, but this is a nice compromise 🥹

Apple really needs to communicate these kinds of shortcuts in a better way.

I literally learned in the last few years you could hold down the spacebar to move the cursor around way easier.

Carplay doesn't work right since the update. It will work some days and on others it won't recognize it was plugged in.

I love you! Thank you!

Hey thanks :)

Just figured out the other day that if you hold down the Numbers button of the keyboard, it will switch back once you stop holding it down. Pretty convenient if you need to quickly switch to number input and switch back.

In the messages app, tapping the Clock in the top left scrolls you back to earliest downloaded msg.

I somehow switched the dictation button out of my text box back to voice recording. don’t know how I did that, but was happy to get it back since having two buttons for dictation was stupid.

I knew about the gallery trick though, just wish it didn’t take forever on my 12.

But you still can’t attach files🤦🏻‍♂️

OK thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!🙏

Killer

Thanks!🙏
