  1. try to copy email from Facebook app to add to email header of email I am writing, but Facebook app refuses to just let me copy the email and instead insists on opening IOS Mail app with new draft

  2. try to copy email address from opened new draft, but for some reason, email addresses in the “to” field won’t let you select them for anything other than deletion

  3. try to type in weird email address letter by letter, switching back and forth between Facebook app and iOS Mail app, but instead for some reason when you switch to another app, it “sets” the email so you can’t keep typing it. Gotta do it all in one go

None of these UX decisions make a goddamn lick of sense.

Why does modern UX seem so actively needlessly shit? Microslop is garbage, so my reaction to shit like the right click menu insanity in Windows 11 is more “I’m not angry, just disappointed.” But Apple are supposed to be the “it just werks” sleek UX focused people.

Also, the fact that you can search for the exact subject of an email you sent yesterday, but instead of that, the search function will find shit from 2009. Also the fact that plugging in an iPhone to the aux automagically decides that you need to hear the first song in iTunes (doesn’t even matter if you don’t have any music downloaded/haven’t used any form of Apple to play music since 2009 either - it will happily download just that first song to play on repeat for you!)

I just don’t get it. These are choices being made (maybe not the email thing). Fucking why?

Copying the address from the to field in Mail works, tapping the right cursor marker brings the menu up for me: https://share.icloud.com/photos/047BVu8U62k8SCi5idum580DA

You could also use the (more awkward) three-finger tap gesture to bring up the history/clipboard overlay.

iOS Mail is fine for me and I say that as someone at least somewhat particular about her choice of mail client.

The problem here is Facebook for not letting you copy the address in their app in the first place.

try to copy email from Facebook app

See, there’s your problem. Facebook is not email. it’s the gaping, flaming, asshole of hell. You really shouldn’t be using it at all, but that’s on you.

That’s why it doesn’t work

Don’t blame Apple because they don’t wanna bother to twist themselves into pretzels to make themselves compatible with it’s kaleidoscope of ever-changing crazy

It was an email address, listed in a profile. Clickable, but not copyable. Was happy to pop as a new email draft up in the IOS Mail app. Just not able to populate into the field of the drafted email I had already written and had open.

It would be nice to discard Facebook, but unfortunately activism and awareness raising requires going into the spaces people already are. It’s also where most teacher communities are, and the kind of 50 year plus classroom management wizard that I want to be getting advice from is not going to be on the fediverse.

I’m not trying to give you the runaround or be difficult. Facebook calls “email“ isn’t really email. It’s some meshugganah crap they pretend is email. That’s why it’s incompatible with a regular email app. Some platforms try to make themselves compatible with it, and some platforms don’t even bother.

Apple‘s iOS mail app doesn’t even bother to try. That’s why it doesn’t work. It’s not your fault, it’s Facebook‘s fault for tricking you into thinking that it should work when it’s obvious to a bunch of tech nerds at Apple that it shouldn’t. And the people at Apple didn’t bother to explain that to you. So that’s where the gap is.

To my other point: I strongly urge you to separate yourself from Facebook. It, and it’s parent company Meta, are very very bad. They’re bad for the planet, they’re bad for society, and more specifically, they are very bad for you in particular. Whether you continue using them or not is a personal choice, but this is a very good example as to why it would be a good idea to start moving away from their services.

If you’d like some advice as to how to start, let me know. I’d be happy to provide you with some advice on how to start.

Best of luck ;)

The problem with iOS and most of the Apple iOS apps is that they try so hard to predict what you want to do that they end up getting in your fucking way. They try so hard to make your life easier that they make it even harder.

They're like an overly attached girlfriend who's in your face all the time, or a cat constantly under your feet when you're trying to make dinner.

For apple, moving toward simplicity is a great marketing move when the apps are overly complicated. But once the apps are simple and effective and the talk dies down, apple then equates simplicity with boring, and then swings the pendulum in the opposite direction, making the apps feel cumbersome, un-intuitive, and unruly.

Along those lines, I’ve noticed autocorrect has gotten somehow worse in the past ten years - it’ll sometimes try to correct words that are correctly spelled but uncommon to completely random words.
