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

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.

Not saying this is a fix, but for people with small hands such as myself, swiping down on the switcher bar at the bottom of the screen pulls the whole upper half of the screen down to keyboard level. It’s called “reachability” and was introduced back when Apple started selling massive phones. It’s an extra step, so not ideal in frequent usage, but if you can’t afford to fumble around with your phone to tap a button on the top, it helps.
