iOS is hard to use.

Yes. Enjoy sleep mode, it doesn't turn all the sounds off. Ios is from hell.

Anything in particular? Definitely different from Android

I want the damn keyboard to disappear and I can’t figure out how to do that. I don’t like that I can’t easily use a comma or a period. Right now I’m really hating the keyboard more than anything. Why can’t I easily select text to copy and paste? Rage.

Drag down from just above the keyboard.

That makes the whole thing go away 😂

lol. Damn. I tried. In the Damus note compose window? Yeah I just noticed that. In most apps that’ll work. Sorry Derek. 🫂

Not a full drag - more like a quick quarter swipe and then back up, if that makes sense

Ooooo. This man speaks truth.

Nice Boston. Now to get muscle memory trained. 💪

🤣🫂🤝🫡

Can someone pls help the poor guy? Lol I can’t. I barely know how to use iOS and it’s been like a decade. nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s teaches me new tricks all the time

I think it’s just a matter of familiarity at this point. If I were to use this for an extended period time I might get used to it and figure things out.

Even mom uses it, she used to use a Nokia 3310 before.

LOL keep breathing calmly. dont break things. Breath in breath out. like Dad taught you! ✌️😂 1 > 10 🧮

So funny, these were all my exact complaints the first time I used an android phone. The keyboard is my main reason I prefer iOS 😂 it’s a muscle memory thing for sure.

I am typing this sentence with my eyes closed, let’s see how we did..

^case in point lol

I keep hitting return instead of a period. I hate it.

Exactly! I was so used to hitting shift for punctuation 😂

Double-space to make a period.

Noice.

You’ll find that there are a ton of power tools in Apple’s stuff. Not always visible, or in a menu somewhere, but they’re there. And you use what works best for you.

I do wish that the period and comma were visible on the main keyboard. There is a shortcut if you double tap space bar it will add period. Also the keyboard is contextual depending on the app or the text field. When inputting an email address, for instance, it will show an “@“ and a period on the main keyboard screen. But in general I wish it showed the period and comma all the time.

Something something old dog…..

If you flick downward slightly above the keyboard it will disappear. Sometimes you can also tap the screen outside the keyboard and it will disappear. Maybe depends on the app. To select text long press on the text and then it highlights that text and reveals the handles to drag and select additional text. https://video.nostr.build/d819fbbc67a72c86b7b516562d733af2d6c0173b74c548167de12b8807924731.mp4

If you type two spaces, iOS will replace the two spaces with a period followed by a space. (In a typical text field. Hopefully that isn't an option I set long ago and forgot wasn't a default.)

Yep. That works well. My muscle memory has me hitting return but I’m retraining myself the more I use this.

Also, if you *press and hold* the "123" key, which switches to the punctuation keyboard, you can drag your finger over the period or comma, and when you release, it'll insert the punctuation and automagically return to the alphabet keyboard.

I also tried it for 2 months but I really couldn't get along with it 🤣

I think it is what you get used to. Whenever I’ve tried to use Android I think the same thing!

💯

And everyone has different mind patterns. I hated android. Then I found out I just hated the way Samsung did it. Pixel actually was pretty nice. Different strokes.

I remember the first time I used a Mac I couldn't find "delete" in the context menu. Apple had dumbed it down so much that it was actually confusing for me. Instead of "Delete" it was "Move to trash" 😞

Ok boomer 😂

Hey now, boomers can use iOS pretty well!

Yeah, cause it was made for them 🤣

In all fairness, a lot of Apple design does suck ….

They haven’t fixed basic shit for years

Yeah, I had an iPhone for a while, I like some of the things you can do on them, but not the software itself.

Problem is Apple likes to do everything their way and tried to reinvent what already works just to be in line with how they do things

Yeah, like using sms tech from the 90s to ruined texting, luckily they are changing it finally.

It’s hard to see it as a frequent iOS user, but if you are totally new, you notice a lot of these issues. I remember first using iOS and being puzzled over why anyone likes it. Nexus 5 was my main driver at the time

Until you get used to it, then you won't give it up.🤣

iOS that wife beater but neighbor-friendly husband in the tech neighborhood 😅

You spelled shit wrong 🤣😂

I think exactly this about Android 😆

why the switch? Or just testdriving ?

I am just testing Damus and soon Nostur and Nos. I wanted to familiarize myself with these apps because I have zero experience with them. A lot of people in Prague used these apps and I couldn’t help them as much as I wanted to. So, I borrowed my niece’s old iPhone to use for a bit.

🤙

Try Linux. 😊

I like Linux 😂

Let's say it's different
