    Thoughts on watchOS 10 and the lost dock

    I’ve been adjusting to watchOS 10 and all the lost functionality for a while now and there are some things that I’ve done to adjust that probably aren’t what Apple had in mind. - Since there is no dock, I’ve removed all the little used apps I can like Activity (this seems to break some...

    Losing the thread in iPadOS multitasking

    Hey everyone, I often find myself losing track of what I'd been thinking about or working on in any given project because iPadOS does not have the ability to lock (a combination of) windows in place in either the App Switcher or Stage Manager, in a way you might with Spaces in Mission Control on...

    App launch bug after iOS 16.0.2

    A short while after updating to 16.0.2, almost every time I open an app it just immediately "fades" out and I only see my homescreen background. If I then swipe up to view the app switcher, the app is there to make the switcher stay open, but there's no preview or app icon which just makes the...

    Other Possible solutions: Make the app switcher always full and/or eliminate the "not running" state

    The App Switcher on an iPhone always starts out empty after completing setup, then it starts getting filled up as soon as you launch an app for the first time. But because of https://www.macrumors.com/2016/03/10/force-quitting-apps-doesnt-help-battery/, swiping apps out of the App Switcher makes...

    iPad Issue with app switching using mouse

    Hi, I have upgraded to iPadOS 13.4 on my 6th generation 9.7inch iPad. From what I have seen on videos about mouse support, there is a little ‘home bar’ at the bottom of the screen that allows you to swipe up to switch apps - this does not exist on my iPad (it does on my iPhone). It means I can’t...

    Has the 3D Touch App switcher returned? UPDATE: Intentionally removed

    I heard it was removed in beta 1 and possibly may have been a bug. Is it back in beta 2? It's my favourite way on iOS 10 to switch between apps or pull up multitasking view on my 7 Plus. Love just 3D Touching on the left edge of the screen.

    iPhone 7 app switcher animation bug

    Whenever I double tap the home button to open the app switcher in landscape mode, there's a glitch in the animation. It only happens on my iPhone 7 and 7 Plus, but it doesn't happen on my iPhone 6s. I tried restarting my phone to factory settings, and I tried restoring from a backup, it still...
