Which feature of IOS in general would you remove?

[cupcakes2000]

Apps that can be downloaded from the app store or that are automatically downloaded or on the phone when you up for the first time.

You would remove the ability to have apps downloaded from the AppStore and apps preinstalled on the phone? So you don’t want apps at all? I don’t understand what you have written!

I agree. Voice calls should be banned worldwide. Why can't people just text? Why do they have to interrupt what I'm doing?

I guarantee that anxiety would drop by 70% worldwide

To be honest I still use this over widgets on the Home Screen (iPhone at least). I have one Home Screen with essential apps, the dock with 4 folders of essential app catagories, swipe right for widgets, left for App Library, down for search. It’s a nice neat clutter free system.

Sounds like a good system. I have my glanceable widgets and 12 most used apps on the first page and that’s it. I do use the “widget page” on my lock screen.

App library on iPadOS is very useful
on iOS not so much in my personal opinion

The App Library. Never used it and it’s just that screen i sometimes accidentally swipe onto. I wish there was an option to disable it in settings.

In app purchases.

Slide to open camera from the homescreen. I know this seems small and minor, but what a pain in the ass this unintuitive non-visually described nonsense that I accidentally constantly open in my pocket, on my desk, etc. and it leaves the screen on and cameras running and sucks down the battery

There's already on the homescreen an easy, and VERY Distinct camera button. Having both homescreen camera options is just messy and legacy UI interactions that iOS has never had cleaned up.

how many times do I have to accidentally launch the camera when I go t clear a notification? Because when I "slid" the notification I missed ONE pixel and instead my camera launched.

IMHO, IOS's lockscreen and Notification system is pretty much 2010 feature phone spaghetti nonsense code at this point and needs a complete overhaul.

This is a broader thing that needs to be refined. For instance, I am reading a story in the AP app, go to scroll down, but just enough lateral movement that it decides I want to slide on over to the next or the previous story. Which is not Apple's fault, per se, but sometimes the effort to increase ui functionality ends up decreasing it by crowding too much in. Some of these features need on/off switches (say, in that control panel thingie).

App library gone and go straight to the alphabetical list.

+1

or a least the option for list only - like the apple watch

 

[KittyKatta]

App Store for Messenger button.

Personally, I’d dump the whole app bar to save space but making that useless App Store button unmovable is ridiculous.

Basically everything since iOS 12 except the security updates. Dark mode is useless bloat and the new widgets are actually worse for quick actions than the old widget panel.

I felt the same way until I went out to a sit-down restaurant for the first time since the pandemic began and, after we got the ticket, was able to scan a QR code on my receipt which downloaded an App Clip that allowed me to pay and tip from my phone using Apple Pay. Neat stuff.

That’s a great use case for App Clips. I wish they would’ve got more use through the pandemic is areas such as this.

My eyes are thanking me for using dark mode during the night, they should’ve added dark mode 5 years ago.

How is dark mode bloat? 🤔😂
