Can you give a more concrete example? I'm on Android, and I've never experienced that.
Your suggestion would only work for very undeterministic parts of the UI, though.
Good UIs are predictable, and sophisticated users "know" where to click and don't need to read buttons, so they're very fast. Enforcing some delay will make the system seem "laggy".
So now you have to make a distinction between "predictable parts of the UI" and "unpredictable parts of the UI" and everything's not all that simple anymore.
A better solution is to not to pop up random things at random times in random places.
- digi_owl 11y agoFrankly the only place i have seen that on any platform is with web browsers. In particular sites that reformat to make room for ads after the main content has fully loaded.
- Drdrdrq 11y agoI place a call and a callee is busy. I want to click "end call" button, but just a bit before that app figures out it can stop the call, so it switches back to main screen. The touch on the same spot now means something entirely else - so a new call is placed and I try to stop it in a fit of panic. It happened at least 3 times in last two months. Update: I am not suggesting adding a delay, that wouldn't help with anything.
