Apple

Hey thanks :)

Just figured out the other day that if you hold down the Numbers button of the keyboard, it will switch back once you stop holding it down. Pretty convenient if you need to quickly switch to number input and switch back.

Oh shit! I never knew that! Thanks!

I somehow switched the dictation button out of my text box back to voice recording. don’t know how I did that, but was happy to get it back since having two buttons for dictation was stupid.

I knew about the gallery trick though, just wish it didn’t take forever on my 12.

In the messages app, tapping the Clock in the top left scrolls you back to earliest downloaded msg.

But you still can’t attach files🤦🏻‍♂️

OK thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!🙏

When watching something on Apple TV, long press the Dynamic Island and use the volume buttons to lower/raise the volume. Don’t have to swipe to find the remote, can stay in your current app. It’s so funky!!!!!

Killer

Thanks!🙏

This was discovered during the betas of iOS 17 and when the RC was pushed out several tech sites and YouTubers pointed out this feature. Here’s one of them back in September: https://9to5mac.com/2023/09/20/ios-17-imessage-apps-photos-more/

Wow. Thank you for this.

Oh Christ thank you so much

Yes, welcome to the party.

I think that button should automatically pop when you long press it. Right now you have to guess when it's okay to let go because it will currently let you hold it forever.

Thank you!!!!! That’s an awesome shortcut!

That's nice. Now I just need to find someone who actually uses iMessage...

I sat turning up my volume for way too long before I realized what you meant lol.

That’s handy!

If you disable dictation, voice memos is moved to the right of the text box in messages (I'm on iOS 17, iPhone 15 Pro).

It looks like this.

Wife is happy to learn this. Thanks

Mind blown...iOS features have gotten to the point where I figure most of the daily useful features here or through any unofficial sources.

I was today years old when I learned this.

In iOS 16 the gallery was just one tap away tho.

Wow, what an innovation!

Would be nice if hitting that + button gave you a little feedback vibration when opening the gallery.

I didn’t know this. I just tried and it works. Thanks a lot.

That has saved me almost an hour a year of my life!

iOS has so many of these small things I have no idea about.

I abs hate the new box list and ui of iMessages text box and where voice memos is now. Idk why they refuse to copy or be inspired by the way whatsapp with voice messages it’s so much better and easier to use. Even ios 16 iMessage was better than this iteration with the exception of the newly added voice message transcription. This iOS 17 iMessage user experience is just too many taps to get where u need and so clunky.

When editing portrait photos, you don’t have to reach up to the top left to switch between depth and Portrait Lighting – you can just tap the F icon along the bottom tray to switch!

Thank you 🥹 I wish they would have left it how it was, but this is a nice compromise 🥹
