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.

    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.

      For future reference, if you control click > open on a downloaded app, it should open up without you having to confirm it in Settings. It’s still an extra action, but it’s more streamlined than having to open Settings and click a button.

        Good to know. I’m sure I’ll forget by the next time I need to do this, but nice to know it’s an option.

      @HeavyDogFeet @DJDarren and more AI in MacOS and iOS, please. If I repeat a folder action three times, how hard is it to get that if I start the same action for the forth time, I would like to repeat the same sequence? Also, why do I have to correct the rather common name of my daughter 17.451 times, before the auto-correct finally gets it?

      And finally; localization, which used to be a strong point of Apple, leaves a lot to be improved.
