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.

The iOS message interface, specifically the audio message button. I goddamned always hit that goddamned recording button right after hitting send, or sometimes when picking up my phone if the screen is still on. And then I have to both x the recording to stop it, and delete the blank 1-5 second message. Just put that button somewhere else like on the other side, not replacing the send button. It sucks. I hate it passionately.

Happens multiple times a day, drives me absolutely batty. I have literally never used speech to text or voice messages on my phone, except by accident. And I don’t want to, either. I’d like to disable it but 1. I haven’t found a way, and 2, I assume if I manage to do so, it will cause other problems, like it’ll probably disable speech to text on my watch also (which I do want to keep, because I’ve used it there), because Apple -sucks- at user control and configuration.

Also, the fact that I can’t change ringtones to non-default options without either spending money or going through a massive process to convert an existing ringtone with their software, which conveniently only runs on Mac (which I don’t have because fuck apple walled garden bullshit). Seriously, wtf is that shit? Greedy swine.

I don’t think I have ever done that. But don’t you have to hold it down now to record? Probably to fix this exact issue.

No option for focus follows mouse. And no way to implement it due to the way the menu bar works.

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

[-] DJDarren@thelemmy.club 1 points 10 months ago

I don’t think I’ve ever used a Mac app when ctrl was how to copy and paste.

[-] Nomecks@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 months ago

Office is real bad but lots of terminal programs use ctrl as well.

I dislike having icons on home screen, I use drawers and the only place that has icon is the dock.

App Window management in Mac OS is beyond infuriating. Time ago it was non existent so you had to download a third party app to enable a clunky version, now it exists but you have to right click on the green dot and hope the snapping menu pops up (sometimes it opens some other menu). I just want MS Windows style “move an app window to the side of the screen and have it automatically snap to take up that half (or quarter)” not the clunky idiotic implementation Apple has provided. The number of hours I have racked up wasting my time resizing and moving windows around manually is obscene.

Also hardware related: the fucking charging port on the magic mouse will go down in history as the stupidest, anti-user design decision in human history.

Clipboard management on iOS. At least I can get Maccy on macOS, but on iOS I’m just stuck to suffer through copy/paste hell.

This is for watchOS, but when you add a watchface, look closely at the activity digital face... There is an activity complication in the corner. It makes me SO mad, I chatted with Apple and they just ended it. I really hate it.

Intercom messaging from an HomeKit automation trigger.

MacOS: that it is not possible to permanently connect my Mac Mini to my Homepod Mini and also to get rid of the 2s audio delay. It drives me mad when I move forward in a song or YouTube video (same on iPad)

  1. Vocabulary Recognition Mystery:

    • iPad doesn't recognize the word "Vidalia" as a word.
  2. Home Lighting Grouping Wish:

    • Annoyed that I can't create groups of lights within a room.
  3. Delayed Photo Sync Confusion:

    • Photos don't sync immediately, and you cannot make them, except for one sync at a time.
  4. Caps Lock Quirk:

    • About 70% of the time, I have to press the caps lock key twice for it to activate or deactivate.
  5. System Settings Search Issue:

    • The search function in System Settings doesn't seem to do anything.
  6. HomePod Timer Sync Problem:

    • Timer set on HomePod doesn't show up on my other devices.
  7. 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.
  8. Autocorrect Woes:

    • Autocorrect has supposedly improved, but it has actually gotten significantly worse.
  9. 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.

Some notifications only have the option to snooze, not dismiss.
