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.

Intercom messaging from an HomeKit automation trigger.

MacOS — making me go into system settings to allow an app to install that I’ve initiated. I know where the app comes from, I just downloaded it, why do I have to tell my own computer I trust myself to not be an idiot?

iPadOS — multitasking. I know that things are better than they used to be but it’s still a clunky experience to use multiple windows or flip back and forth between them unless you use a keyboard (at which point why wouldn’t I just use a laptop?)

iOS — not a lot these days. I’d still like to be able to customise my Home Screen layouts more, and shortcuts are still pretty unreliable, but I’m largely happy with iOS itself.

watchOS — better customisation for the widgets section. Let me have multiple complication/shortcut blocks, let me organise widgets more easily, etc. More watch faces would be nice too. A lot of the ones that are available are pretty ugly.

Command vs ctrl for copy, paste etc. But only sometimes!

Vocabulary Recognition Mystery:
- iPad doesn't recognize the word "Vidalia" as a word.
Home Lighting Grouping Wish:
- Annoyed that I can't create groups of lights within a room.
Delayed Photo Sync Confusion:
- Photos don't sync immediately, and you cannot make them, except for one sync at a time.
Caps Lock Quirk:
- About 70% of the time, I have to press the caps lock key twice for it to activate or deactivate.
System Settings Search Issue:
- The search function in System Settings doesn't seem to do anything.
HomePod Timer Sync Problem:
- Timer set on HomePod doesn't show up on my other devices.
Volume Control Headache:
- System sounds/music volume lacks logical control. Accidentally clicking my buds when putting them in results in ear-piercing music, I guess because I have the systems sounds volume up high.
Autocorrect Woes:
- Autocorrect has supposedly improved, but it has actually gotten significantly worse.
iOS refuses to sync ringtones I made in GarageBand across my devices. I resorted to creating them on each individual device and then iOS reverts them back to the default after a couple of minutes.
