What’s the tiniest thing about iOS / iPadOS / macOS that really bugs you? - The Lemmy 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.

Complete lack of support for clipboard history. This annoys me daily.

I’ve been using Maccy for this

Sorry, right, I was referring to iOS. On macOS I use Alfred for clipboard history. Works great.

Can’t you use a third party keyboard for clipboard history on iOS? That’s how it works on Android.

I think we do have this ability, but then we also have a few apps that will straight up block third party apps, mostly related to security, which is when you may want clipboard history sometimes like when copying a password from a password manager.

My job recently implemented new measures that extend to Outlook and Teams on my iPhone that won’t let me use third party keyboards in these apps anymore.

Not perfect, but I use this.

One year ago, I was preparing for the upcoming launch of AltStore — my attempt at building an alternative App Store for non-jailbroken devices (maybe you’ve heard of it). I originally built AltStore as a way to distribute Delta, but soon pivoted towards a more general distribution platform for all sideloadable apps. However, if I was going to launch a whole app store and frame it as such, surely there needs to be more than just one app in there, right?

Yeah that’s probably the best solution but like you say, pretty inelegant.

Once they allow side loading we will be freee :)

If you’re in the EU or Japan, possibly. My guess is really doing it right (without impact on battery life) would require root. Or Apple supporting it officially with apis and everything.

The solution I linked above is installed through AltStore and works perfectly. No jailbreak required.
