Sep 2, 2026, 1:55 PM@marcoarment See also also about how Apple's own HIG note that apps should not place actionable items in places that may be difficult to click on or tap.. And then puts all sorts of actionable items in the top right corner right where notifications pop in...
I can't tell you how many times I've gone to click in the X on my MacBook to close the incoming call I don't want, but then it opens up Screen Mirroring and answers the call. I don't believe they use this internally, really.
Craig Hockenberrychockenberry@mastodon.socialSep 2, 2026, 3:37 PM@marcoarment For me it’s this button in Music. Right where my thumb goes to scroll the view to see tracks on the album. I’ve added hundreds of albums unintentionally.
Mat GaddDrarok@mastodon.socialSep 2, 2026, 3:45 PM@chockenberry @marcoarment Apple Music lyrics view. I would love to see the code to decipher which areas are “bring up controls” and which areas are “jump to the timestamp for this lyric”, cause I cannot fathom it at all. Experiments feel like tapping below the half-way mark always brings up controls, but experience tells me that is extremely fickle and completely wrong. I’ve jumped to blurry unreadable lyrics more times than I can count.

Sep 2, 2026, 10:24 PM@chockenberry @marcoarment My problem is when I add an album to my library. It then becomes a “download this album to the device” that sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t automatically. So I click download because that’s what I usually want but it doesn’t look like anything is downloading. That cancels the downloads that are working without any user notification and cancels the downloads and sometimes reverts back to the plus sign button. Then I wonder if the album is added to my library..
John Vosmekjjviii@mastodon.socialSep 2, 2026, 3:53 PM@marcoarment personally I like when I hit the share button to share something with my group text, which is the furthest left, and right as I tap, someone’s airdrop shows up in the same location and airdrop doesn’t even have a confirmation step. Apologies to all who have received my daily Wordle score as an airdrop.
Michael Fesslermfessler@mastodon.socialSep 2, 2026, 4:02 PM@marcoarment Also when you tap on a Facebook post to save it and the menu repopulates and shifts while you’re tapping so you hit “hide and report” instead. Good times!
