The problem with this is how you indicate to users that tooltips exist via the long press action. I personally never knew that long press to show a tooltip was the "generally agreed upon way" to show tooltips, and it would be a lot simpler to just have a button label.
- wizzwizz4 5y agoHow do you indicate to users that they can right-click on a computer mouse? You don't; they just know it. If they don't, their friends and family will teach them.
- NateEag 5y agoYou put a line of text in the mobile UI that says "To see tooltips, press and hold on a button." You can stop showing that line of text once they've shown a tooltip (or two, if you're worried about them triggering it accidentally and not knowing how they did it).
