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.

My tiny gripe…

On iOS, I have set a couple weekly to-do items (recurring) that all have sub-tasks….

Except there isn’t a way to just see the subtasks? I have to click into the reminder, scroll down to subtasks and click into that.

What the heck?!?

You Turn off mobile data.

“Your mobile data is offline” OK to continue.

No shit 💩

Apple Watch 10 removed the option for pinning apps to the Task Switcher. It's now way more inconvenient to scroll through the App List to find what I want at that moment.

The tab view in Safari was changed from a Rolodex like view to tiny cards. But the cards are often too small to read, forcing me to click it to see what is on it. I end up leaving 30 tabs open because I don’t know if one is safe to close.

CarPlay at least for me is a mess after every update, audio just cuts out and reconnecting has no effect until my iPhone is reset and car turned off and on

When you click on an app icon on the dock, on an app that is already open with several minimized windows, it doesnt expand the most recently used window. This is especially with Mail and Preview.

The command/control split is a constant source of annoyance. I really wish they would just abandon that one and get with the rest of the world.

You mean move stuff like copy and paste to CTRL?

I super disagree with that, personally. It’s so much more comfy to move your thumb slightly over to hit Option than it is to reach a pinky down to hit CTRL.
