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.

    • No back button or consistent back action, can’t swipe back from either side of the screen like you can with Android.
    • When there is a back button, it’s in the #1 most inaccessible part of the screen
    • Can only use Safari (other brosers are just themed Safari)
    • Because you can’t have other browsers, you can’t have browser plugins.
    • You can use a custom keyboard… But only sometimes. It won’t let you do it for passwords. This is very frustrating as their stock keyboard sucks ass and you don’t have that muscle memory, they should just do it all the time.
    • iMessage
    • Inability to side load apps or install from places outside the app store that extorts developers

    These are a few things that if resolved, would make me decide to use iOS over Android.

      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.
