Tangent, but am I the only one who is really bothered by the update they made to the way you set a clock (eg for an alarm or appointment) a few years ago? It’s now only digits which I am supposed to scroll vertically, which is incredibly tedious; before, it was an actual analog clock I could drag around and it was awesome.
To this day I still don’t understand why they did this, it seemed to serve no purpose to get rid of the old UX.
- wlesieutre 5y agoAre you talking about the time input like when you create a new alarm? The new one is a text field that you can drag the little digit spinners, but primarily you just type in it. Being able to put times in with a proper numeric keypad is a big usability improvement IMO.
- stingraycharles 5y agoTIL you can actually just use the numeric keypad to type it in. I must be getting old.
