Why on God’s green earth can I not have an #iPhone interface that works?
To say that Apple’s “gestures” suck is entirely too kind. They are a fundamentally broken idea anyway, but that gestures have regions and therefore that a gesture may mean any of three different things, makes my phone desperate–and I do mean desperate–to do anything other than what I’m telling it to do.
Like what specifically? And what’s with the hashtag?
Like when I swipe from right to left. An app can have it’s own meaning for this gesture. The phone itself, two more, one to switch home screens, one to pull up the camera. I’ll be trying to use the app’s meaning and get the camera. This is not improving my efficiency.
I’ve never had the camera pull up from swiping right to left except from the Lock Screen, otherwise it just uses whatever app’s swipe controls are or from the Home Screen it goes into my second screen or App Library.
Same left to right, an active app uses its controls, the Home Screen or Lock Screen pulls up a widget drawer.
What app are you trying to use that has Apple’s Home Screen swipe commands overriding the app?
I’m seeing the behavior consistently, regardless of app. It’s just wrong.
Do you have one of the older iPhones that had “3D Touch”? That did some weird stuff with gestures, like if you swiped with enough pressure it would switch apps.
No, this is a 14. I never heard of “3D Touch” but it sounds like it would be completely unusable for me.
