I fail using this UI at least once a week.

It's the AirPods Control Center volume pane, where I go to put my AirPods Pro into Adaptive mode (which I have configured a hundred times to be part of the long-press selection, but that always gets inexplicably forgotten).

What you're SUPPOSED to do is tap the circle to bring up the modes.

But right below it is the OBVIOUS LOOK OF A DROPDOWN CONTROL, complete with the double-arrow and tint color, but it is NOT ACTUALLY A TAPPABLE CONTROL AARRGGHHH 😡

@marcoarment If you think this is bad, start a workout on your Apple Watch.

@caseyliss You're really scaring me... am still resisting the upgrade, despite iOS 26.4 dropping support because of it... Any video somewhere of the bad changes?

@fabienmarry @caseyliss best I can describe: guess what happens if you tap on the weightlifting icon in the screenshot below? You start a weightlifting session, right? Wrong! It starts indoor cycle. Why? Because there is a play button there! No there isn’t? Oh yes there is. It just hasn’t rendered yet (see second pic a sec later). 💀
This gets me at least once a week. Maddening.

@andrewwade @fabienmarry @caseyliss is it just me but pressing the action button for fitness app now automatically starts a commonly used workout? Before it brought up the menu. And it’s dumb because it can’t even start the correct workout based on the time and location I’m in (I’m on a very predictable schedule)

@ebbi @andrewwade @fabienmarry @caseyliss I think that’s configurable somewhere. Mine is set to always / only start a run, which I recall explicitly setting up.
Now, where one configures that (workouts.app? watch settings? Watch.app on iPhone maybe…?), your guess is as good as mine.

@coachmike66 @andrewwade @fabienmarry @caseyliss didn’t know that - just changed it in settings! Thanks mate

@ebbi @andrewwade @fabienmarry @caseyliss And if you were unaware, this is another game-changer: simultaneously pressing the Action button and Side button during a workout will toggle pause/resume of the workout.
HUGE help in heavy rain, or with winter gloves, when swiping is problematic (no more swiping and tapping with nose 😃).
