    2020 iPad Air Randomly Defaults to “Force Touch”

    Hello- Randomly (mostly at the end-of-the day) my 2020 iPad Air “defaults” to Force Touch mode (long press) I’m attaching a video screenshot below. Restarting my iPad (even locking my screen to turn off Touch ID) temporarily fixes the problem only to return about 24-hours later. I am running...

    Can we set custom actions for multiple finger Force Touch?

    The built in functions take advantage of 1, 2, 3, or 4, finger actions on trackpads on Mac. Force touch is also enabled for 1 finger actions. But Apple does not appear to have reserved any unique force touch functions for multiple fingers force touching simultaneously. (or for 5 fingers either)...

    iPhone 13 Pro I really miss Force Touch

    I just upgraded to an iPhone 13 Pro from an iPhone X and while I really appreciate the 120Hz display, amazing cameras and the overall design… I really miss Force Touch. Tap and hold is just not the same. The place I find this most apparent is the torch and camera buttons on the Lock Screen...

    16" Macbook Pro trackpad too much flex

    Hey, so I am posting 2 videos here, as you can see the top portion of the trackpad depresses (flexes) way deep into the chassis. The flex is equal to if not greater than the old clicky(push up) trackpads. I am assuming force touch trackpads shouldn't move? And if they should not by this much...

    iPhone XR Saving email as pdf in Mail App

    In the past, I was able to save an entire email (in Mail App) as pdf into Dropbox. I did this by using Force Touch and preview on my old iPhone. However, the iPhone XR doesn't have Force touch. Does anyone know whether it is possible to save an email as pdf in the Mail App on a iPhone XR...

    ‘Mark as Read’ disappeared from Forcetouch

    I used to be able to Force Touch new emails on the lock screen to ‘Mark as Read, which was hugely convenient. Now I only have two options: ‘Delete’ or ‘Flag’. Has this option been removed, or can I re-enable it somehow? Thanks

    Force click - lookup in another language

    Since the dictionaries are so easy to access with force click, I was really hoping to use it with translations from another language. My primary dictionary is the Korean-English dictionary. but it only works when I lookup in English. Does anyone have a trick to make this work??

    iPhone 7/Plus Force Touch PITA or Usefull?

    I've grown tired of how precise the force must be, even for simple tasks like moving/deleting Home Screen icons. I have the 7+ since launch and have tried/tested Force Touch for many different tasks over many months, but IMO the cons don't outweigh the pros. It just seems to get in the way 99%...

    iPhone 6s Plus 3D Touch While On Call

    Hi, When I'm on a phone call and use 3D Touch while on speaker (or not, but normally I would be) 3D Touch doesn't return a haptic feedback, instead I get an old-school vibration. This only happens while on a phone call, otherwise I get a nice haptic feedback. This is a horrible user...

    What feature is everybody most excited for in the iPhone 7?

    Title says it all basically. I'm most excited really to see if the home button becomes the force touch feature like everybody is saying . Seems pretty interesting to me! :)

    Who is using the force touch pad??

    I have just bought the latest MBP 15 inch and to be honest, why should i use the force touch pad? My mate also bought one and he also told me he didn't use the force touch. So i was wondering.....who is using it? And if you are using it actively, for what and why?

    iPhone 6S+ clicking after vibrating

    Hello, forum My brother dropped his iPhone 6S+ from a very low height. No physical external damage but the vibration and taptic feedback has been acting up ever since. When receiving a call, a loud click sound is heard after every vibration (sort of like the force touch click sound). Same for...

    Strange quick action bug on 9.3.1

    If I put the phone on landscape and force touch an icon the animation is choppy. The funny thing is that after doing that if you put the phone in portrait the same thing happens. (If I open another app then go back to the home screen the bug fixes itself and animations become smooth again)

    Force Touch unresponsive

    I purchased my Apple Watch SS in mid October. Out of the box, force touch did not work but a simple force restart fixed the issue. About a week later, force touch became unresponsive again. The only fix was erasing the watch and setting it up as new. It happened a third time and I went to...
