Note, swiping left and hitting edit doesn't work. They are purposefully trying to cram this feature into use. Why? I don't know. If I'm being cynical it's because tech designers apparently want phones to be their mommies.
Even the basic idiocy of having your morning alarms be regarded as "other alarms" tells you everything you need to know about the people who make these choices and design this shit. God I have switch away from Apple. They're making every disastrous design choice now.
To be clear, the bedtime alarms are off. What I don't want is a giant glaring stupid thing that takes up half my screen telling me I SHOULD HAVE BED TIME ALARMS on, especially when I need to be constantly using the other ones.
Steve Jobs was an absurd maniac, but he was also obsessive about this kind of thing. Tacky and obtrusive design was the bane of his existence. And Apple's success was partially built on it. But with every passing year...
Apple has gotten further and further away from that core ethos. It started slight, but every time I look there is some glaring, insane, obviously horrid design choice that you just tell no one ever raised questions about it, and if they did, they were railroaded by the wrong ppl.
It's the reason going from your text to you camera roll used to be one click and is NOW FIVE. Again, they think they are giving your more options, what they are giving you is more hoops.
Hulk, are you ok? I’m on the latest iOS and it’s still right therepic.twitter.com/RH6xVlUQpT
If it's not clear, the photos icon above the Q is what you want. If you've started typing and that bar is showing you completion text instead, then you need to tap the apps button first (the grey one at the top between the camera and iMessage text). So it is two taps then.
I already answered this. I'm sorry, it's just this is the other thing I hate about talking about tech. People jump in assuming I'm being an idiot when really they're missing the details of what I'm talking about.
My apologies that it came across that way.
Sorry my reaction was more to the "are you okay?" when really they were assuming I meant photos instead of camera roll.
