iOS 16: All the little things

[Hammerd]

Hi everyone
I find the new gesture (horizontal scroll) to fast forward / backward when playing a video in safari INVERTED.
In the Photos app you would have to scroll the bottom bar (video timeframe) to the left to fast forward. In safari it’s the opposite.
That’s driving me nuts cus I keep going the other way in safari because I am accustomed to the way it is in Photos. Anyone else?
Wish Apple would let users decide the direction

Taking the background from photos is terrible. This should never have been released as badly as this , cant help wonder if Jobs would have released something thats not perfected yet.

Works well for me.

You used to have to pay $750 for Adobe Photoshop to be able to do this. I’m pretty happy with not having to do that.

Also, ever heard of MobileMe?

Ahhh MobileMe, years later I'm still dealing with having to use 2 apple IDs.

Also I personally love the photos option, it's great fun!

Except that the complainer did not say that he/she was attempting to do this on the Lock Screen widget.

Isn't this a thread for new features in iOS16? The only new weather widget is on the lock screen. Seems like a logical connection to make.

Same here! It's such a hassle!

The weather app (and its associated widgets) underwent significant changes in iOS 16. The post could easily have been about home screen weather widgets too. In fact, that's how I and at least one other read it.

But my real points are: (A) don't call features stupid; it sounds childish. And (B), if you are complaining about something, be clear about what you are complaining about. Other members should not have to play mental connect the dots or be a mind reader to figure it out. It costs nothing to include necessary detail in a post.

Can you explain what problem you're having?

The posts that just say something "is terrible" or "have they fixed the bug with Mail" are hard to follow. Even if you're just venting, we don't know what you're talking about.

My personal Memojis are gone now from iPad and MBA. I had to do them again and now have the two sets on iPhone ! Anyone else ?

OTOH , does someone help me figure out how to paste an image I’ve lifted from a picture to another picture ??? The only way I manage to do it is through the Canva app. There must be an easier way but I can’t find it …

If you use the “right click” menu once you select an image, you can save it to your photos library. From there you could use it in a layer in photoshop or similar editor. It’s a PNG file so like other PNG files you can’t just lay it on top of another image without an editor.

Thank you for answering I've tried and tried but just can't do it without Canva. I can't find a way to paste it without an editor .

iOS 16... lets see...

• Battery percentage is ugly garbage. (these designers make a 6 figure salary)
• Being able to recover deleted messages COOL! Except you cant actually read them, you have to recover them first, USELESS!
• Lock-screen is a complete joke. What font are they using for the clock? 3rd-grader?
• After 5+ years with a fullscreen phone there STILL is no way to turn off the home-bar because Apple thinks its customers are 8 years old (see Lock-screen is a complete joke).
• There STILL is no way to add a VPN toggle to the control center.
• Turn the green dot off on the earth. I know where I freaking am.
• Camera control layout is still terrible.
• Apple watch STILL can't tell you the battery level of your iPhone (without a 3rd party app)
• Any text message from someone NOT in my contacts will now ask if its Junk, adding another step in deleting every message (this needs to be smarter).

....It's the little things

I don’t know if I missed it after previous upgrades but being prompted to merge duplicate contacts was nice.

Duplicate photos was nice as well.

Is there any ways to get battery % only when reaching 20% like on previous IOS. Now it’s always off or always on. Also red battery icon is inexistant now.

Is there a way to reduce the shadow behind app name on lighter wallpaper? I’m sure it wasn’t like that on iOS 15.

Dunno why it is designed like this but new to me.

How did you get the big widget between the two smaller ones?

What? That default clock one is always there.

Weather between AQI and Rain...it is not possible on my phone.

Would also like to know this. its super annoying.

I turned off the new feature as it prevented me from seeing when phone is charging. It's no big deal to swipe in control center to check the exact percentage.
Made a shortcuts to tell me when phone is 20% and 80%

Only viable solution/work-around atm: Use a dark background 🙈

I tried creating a Shortcut for something like this, but am not seeing this as an option. I’d suggest submitting feedback to Apple as a ‘Suggestion’. It’s a great idea.

When it's charging it's green. When it's not, it's white.

🤦🏻‍♀️ I hadn't noticed ! Thank you

I’ve skimmed through this thread…sorry if someone else has mentioned this, but on my 13pro max the whole interface seems somehow cleaner.
