TIL that on iOS 17, if you press long on the + button on iMessage, it’ll automatically open the Gallery. (alien.top)

Apple really needs to communicate these kinds of shortcuts in a better way.

I literally learned in the last few years you could hold down the spacebar to move the cursor around way easier.

The spacebar thing has been there since 3D touch was still a thing… But yeah, agree, they should at least explain these neat little tricks in the Tips app instead of just showing off the obvious stuff.

3D Touch wasn’t restricted to the spacebar though. You could deep press and slide your cursor from anywhere on the keyboard and I miss that.

Same. I miss 3D touch as a whole, it was really neat

I still press down on the screen to move the cursor around. I haven’t had 3D Touch for years on my phone.

That’s how intuitive and effective it was as a feature.
