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.

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.
I dislike having icons on home screen, I use drawers and the only place that has icon is the dock.
- No back button or consistent back action, can't swipe back from either side of the screen like you can with Android.
- When there is a back button, it's in the #1 most inaccessible part of the screen
- Can only use Safari (other brosers are just themed Safari)
- Because you can't have other browsers, you can't have browser plugins.
- You can use a custom keyboard... But only sometimes. It won't let you do it for passwords. This is very frustrating as their stock keyboard sucks ass and you don't have that muscle memory, they should just do it all the time.
- iMessage
- Inability to side load apps or install from places outside the app store that extorts developers
These are a few things that if resolved, would make me decide to use iOS over Android.
Swiping from the left side of the screen is almost always back
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.
This is my tinniest irritation.
The translate app tries to fit the text on the sign. Regardless on of tiny or distant it gets making it sometimes impossible to read. Can't you zoom you ask?
Yes if you take a take a picture. But first it makes enormous photo sound making people in places you are not allowed to take photo turn around. Then you need to wait for it to translate again. Tben you can zoom in.
Just because it cool to see the text actually on the screen.
swinging back around because I was just reminded of this trying to get to a calculator: iPad OS still not having a built in calculator in 2023 because Lord God Steve Jobs proclaimed a million years ago you can just use your iPhone. Sure you can. but why is that a reason to not have a feature? Fucking infuriating.
I was reminded of this last night when I opened the calculator on my Watch, and did a sensible chuckle.
Itunes to Music. iphotos to photos Yikes. Edit: not quite a tiny thing.
