Kinda unfortunate that phones have made basic workflow gestures like this so obscure. Let's not even get into how "undo" is accessed by shaking the whole device

- zimpenfish 4y agoAlthough there are now[1] three non-shaking ways to access undo[2] - 1) the three-finger tap which brings up the copy and paste icon bar also contains undo and redo, 2) three-finger swipe left, 3) three-finger double tap (which isn't 100% reliable for me in things like Safari since it tends to trigger "show me the tabs").

- mcintyre1994 4y agoI didn't know about any of those but they all sound a lot better than shake which never works for me. TY!
- zimpenfish 4y agoYeah, they could really do with a "I see you're shaking the phone to undo, what about trying one of these new ways?" kind of popup / tutorial for things like this. They're great at introducing new features but useless at surfacing them to users.
- raverbashing 4y agoThis is the true problem. A lot of this is not discoverable And for real, I'm suspecting Android is better at this than iPhone
- firasd 4y agoYeah on Android interfaces there is a common concept of a 'hamburger icon' on screens. It may not be the best UX but at least if a dev doesn't know how to expose a certain feature in the UI they can put it in the menu that expands from the three dots icon
