I just switched from android to iphone, and there are a couple things I miss. I wonder if they are possible with a jailbreak: - one-click open a goo.gl/maps link in google maps (right now I need to click the link, then click open) - copying text auto-opens a google translate bubble on the side I can use to view the translation (does not appear to be possible on iphone) - change the default browser that opens from safari to chrome (right now I need to open it in safari, click share, select chrome, then hit "open in chrome". Those 4 clicks could be reduced to 1)

- goo.gl/maps I don't think I ever encounter those in my world, and always end up in google maps exclusively. I'm not saying you should change your behavior, but I bet the conveniences you look for exist in a different funnel that you might find just as fun. - copying text auto-opens a google translate bubble thats kind of cool, there might be an additional keyboard you can install that gets you the same result? But yes to translate I typically just have the google translate app open in the background and quick swap over to it.

  I get maps.app.goo.gl shares from friends about where to meet up. For the translate bubble, maybe there's a shortcut, I don't know. If anyone knows of a way to do this, please let me know.

For any one click look at shortcuts. You can also add web links to the home screen. That is how the ft.com “app” worked for awhile. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208309 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208309

  > You can also add web links to the home screen Bookmarks, great, I was wondering how to do that. A bit strange that it needs to visibly flick open the shortcuts app first before proceeding to Chrome..

  Speaking of Shortcuts, here’s a bunch to get started. https://www.reddit.com/r/shortcuts/comments/9ha09t/comment/e6aak1a https://www.reddit.com/r/shortcuts/comments/9ha09t/comment/e...

The default browser (or default app) setting has been rumored to be coming in iOS 14, which is set to have public beta releases starting in July (after WWDC in the end of June).
