The Share Menu is the worst. How a human being should figure that out?
If offers:
* Contacts
* Applications
* Vertically
* Horizontally
* Other items below.
* But only after you’ve figured out, that it needs pulled up.
* It is always placed in a different locations of an app and the icon has nothing to do with “Share” or “Copy/Paste”.
People grown up with smartphones can handle it, as usual you can adapt as long as you weren’t older than 40/50 upon introduction. Most of modern stuff is horribly designed and often unreliable (Hello AppleTV. Can we speak today about changing a WiFi-Password? Why you don’t reboot when I press the ON/OFF-Button? It is needed to workaround bugs).
- dgellow 3y agoI have the perfect example. In safari iOS, “Share” is where the “Search in the page” feature is located! Just, why?!
- walteweiss 3y agoOh, thank you! Twelve years iPhone user here. Never knew it’s there.
- lotsofpulp 3y agoIt is also in the URL/search bar, type whatever you want to find on the page instead of a website address and the bottom option will be “On this page”.
- walteweiss 3y agoI used this option just a couple of times when I desperately needed to find something on the page. Most of the time I’m not sure where that option is, so usually I just google it right before using.
- dgellow 3y agoOh wow, that’s also pretty hidden, I never noticed it
- ho_schi 3y agoOh. I’ve always used the URL/search bar. Only your post made me aware that there is also a “Search” hidden in the share-menu.
- arrrg 3y agoIt‘s redundant placement. You can also just use the url box to search the page. Seems like a good pragmatic approach to me. Could they also introduce some kind of page action menu? Maybe.
- pohuing 3y agoYou can see that it's draggable because there's a drag indicator at the top. That's what the small elongated oval is supposed to indicate.
