As someone who answered questions about ios 8 for people that have never used it. Its not as intuitive as people think.
The "switch" icons (or described to me as two circles next to one another) seem to be a source of confusion. Which direction is on? Why?
- ecopoesis 11y agoThat's strange. The transition to the flat switches is one of the things I like most about the iOS 7 design. Previously, I could never figure out which way was on, but post flat design I have no trouble.
- rikkus 11y agoAmusingly you can change something in accessibility that adds a 1 and a 0 to the switches. For some reason I'm still unclear... Does pressing it make it 1 because I can see the 1 to press, or is it now 1 (yes). Android by default has off and on displayed. No idea how they make this work in languages where the equivalent words are longer.
- euyyn 11y agoI guess they stick to "on" and "off". After decades of electronic and electric devices labeled in English, words like those or "play"/"stop" are pretty well understood.
- bsaul 11y agoA real life switch is very confusing as well. How many times did switch your light switch without knowing if it was going to turn the light on ? A switch is symetrical by design. They tried to remove the symetry on ios 7, and with the color it becomes more like "highlighted on/off". Which is better.
