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.

Spellcheck, and it perfectly encapsulates Apple’s view of their customers, that Apple knows what’s best, better than their customers. In iOS, if you have spellcheck turned on, it automatically changes your words based on what it assumes you meant. You have to actually tap the word bubble that pops up to cancel it, which seems completely ass-backwards to me. The word bubble should be their suggestion, but then let the user make that call. They just assume you’re the idiot and they’re right. Sometimes that’s fine, but sometimes I’m just using slang or an abbreviation or a foreign word or it completely picks the wrong word and spellcheck fucks you over.

Yeah that’s so ducking annoying.

Incredibly, I went out to buy a duck for our Christmas roast the other day, and at one text my wife to tell her “I’m just looking for a fuck”.

At least it wasn’t your mother.

They just fucking changed this so it autocorrects to your most commonly fucking typed words, they even fucking pointed it out in the presentation.

See, works great. I even tried to type 🦆ing and it autocorrected to F.

Autocorrect has gotten significantly better. I don’t even need to swype anymore.

settings > keyboard > auto-correction: off
...
that was pretty easy...

[–] DJDarren@thelemmy.club 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Right, but now there’s no autocorrect at all. A middle ground would be nice.

[–] xor@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

it underlines misspelled words... works pretty good for me

The latest version of iOS changes the words if you have spellcheck on. I think it underlines the misspelled words if you have spellcheck off.
