Just as I’m about to tap it, the other person ends the call and what I’m actually tapping is some other person on my call list that it then immediately calls. Even if I end the call quickly they often call back confused “You called, what did you want?”
Apple: PLEASE add a delay to touch input after the call screen closes.
The solution needs to be global. Literally, if any part of the screen just changed (except for watching videos, which would make them impossible to interact with), add a small interaction delay where taps are no-op'd.
Why would the position where the end call button just was, be replaced by some other active area immediately after? It's just not right.
and the notification doesn't self-dissapear, so stressed navigation also includes a ham-handed reach and swipe up to make the appointment dissapear. Hope it wasn't important.
The screen is MASSIVE folks. SO MANY PIXELS. keep the GPS AND the calendar appointment.
It seems like a super easy fix.
The one I don't quite know how to solve is when I'm tapping a device to connect to -- whether a WiFi router or an AirPlay speaker or whatever -- and I swear to god, half the time my intended device slides out from under me a newly discovered device enters above and pushes it down. Or sometimes devices disappear and pull it up. Maybe it's because I live in an apartment building with lots of devices.
I've seen this solved in prototypes by always adding new devices at the bottom, and graying out when one disappears, with a floating "resort" button so you can find what you're looking for alphabetically. But it's so clunky -- nobody wants a resort button. And you can't use a UX delay on every update or you'd never be able to tap anything at all for the first five seconds.
Maybe ensuring there's always 3 seconds of no changes, then gray out everything for 0.5 seconds while sliding in all new devices discovered from the past 3.5 seconds, then re-enabling? I've never seen anything like that attempted.
