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.

    If you’re talking about MacOS, 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.

              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. Official support for sideloading will eliminate the need for AltStore, but shouldn’t impact the functionality of Clip.
