On Android, by convention you can long-press icon-only toolbar buttons and the label will show as a tooltip. Non-native apps (fuzzy definition) lack this far too often, but it’s always worth trying. Not sure if iOS has something like this.
- tyfon 6y agoYeah I used to be on android, I had less issues there. This is my first iPhone (version 11) and I'm not sure if I will keep with apple. The tracking of google is bothering me big time though so I might just accept a worse user experience to avoid that.
- tinus_hn 6y agoWhat is the advantage of this? If you can long press a toolbar button to get a label that states what the button is for, it’s easier to just tap the button and see what it is for.
- jkaplowitz 6y agoWhat if you're not sure if you want to trigger the effect of the button?
- e_proxus 6y agoUnless I’m missing something we’re talking about a tab bar? The worst thing that can happen is that you switch to that tab. Switching tabs should never be destructive.
- chrismorgan 6y agoToolbar, not tab bar. You will regularly get mutating actions there, though any mutating actions should either prompt or be undoable.
