Why do they refuse to give you a manual? Why are there no instructions. Drives me crazy.

- null_object 4y ago> Why do they refuse to give you a manual? Why are there no instructions. There’s a whole Apple app - Tips - included with every iOS device, dedicated specifically to these small features. It’s updated by Apple with new tips and tricks regularly, and you can choose to be notified each time a new ‘episode’ is released.
- frankfrankfrank 4y agoTips is actually a great example of how Apple fails at this/discoverability. The tips in there are novice and below level at best. With none of the advanced features even discussed, let alone more obscure or hidden ones.
- canarypilot 4y agoThere is a large user manual available in “Books” ; https://books.apple.com/gb/book/iphone-user-guide/id1515995528 https://books.apple.com/gb/book/iphone-user-guide/id15159955... I imagine most iPhone users don’t know it is there!
- samatman 4y agoSee, I didn't know that, and I've had iPhones since the 4 (a grand total of four devices), and am the sort of person who reads the manual in general, and likes to know all the features of a device I spend time with. On the one hand, thanks for the tip! On the other hand, Apple has an enormous discoverability problem, it's getting worse, and they're responding by making the UX dumber instead of addressing it head on.
