Another example that comes to mind is Apple's stock Podcasts app. The buttons to skip 15 seconds forward/backward have been removed from the interface (visually anyway) but still work if you press where the icons used to be.
- taspeotis 10y agoWhich part of the interface are you saying they're missing from? They're visible to me when you've got the podcast selected.
- everly 10y agoHere's a screenshot of the main playback interface, which is what I'm referring to: http://i.imgur.com/VMSYsAX.png http://i.imgur.com/VMSYsAX.png The icons don't appear to the right/left of the play button but the buttons are still there and work if you tap where the icon used to be. FWIW, the icons do still appear in the Control Center menu when a podcast is playing: http://i.imgur.com/mUWrIYy.png http://i.imgur.com/mUWrIYy.png

- informatimago 10y agoSounds to me like the result of a fight between the developers and the "product owner" who says "remove that button", and the developers don't want to remove it because it is useful and used by the users. So instead of removing it, he just makes it invisible, and everybody (but the new or naive users) is happy.
