Is it my imagination or did the consistency they talked about involve the same swiping action doing completely different things throughout the OS & apps?

- eavc 15y agoThe swiping action is a metaphor for moving things, and it seemed consistent and intuitive. You flick items away in some cases, you pull screens to rotate/pan them. This is already implemented in some mods and is totally natural.
- jsz0 15y agoPerhaps. I'd have to try it out. My confusion stems from the contacts app. They swipe to get another 'page' of the UI like switching between home-screens. If it was consistent with the GMail app swiping on the individual contact should bring up more information about the item not switch to another page?
- Raphael 15y agoI'm also concerned about this. It seems the main function of horizontal swiping is switching screens. So why do they also use it for removing items? Then you can't remove items in an app that has multiple screens.
