That’s true! Haha I don’t either tbh, was merely speculating on how I assume it works.

Again, I’m pretty sure that’s because they keep their device. I can imagine that device deadlines aren’t fluid for such companies.

2025-09-16 09:36:10 UTC

That also has to do with new devices launching nearly at the same time I reckon.

With point releases things usually get smoothed out. They clearly had a deadline to meet so I’m pretty sure they pushed things to a next release.

2025-09-16 06:16:02 UTC

Yeah, those are weird things. I haven’t seen that myself because I’m not using a floating keyboard 🙈

2025-09-16 06:09:39 UTC

- reply

The keyboard appears in two styles because apps that haven’t been updated are still using the older keyboard.

2025-05-12 17:44:39 UTC

- reply

Yeah, that’s true. You could always make a throw-away account for such things.

Websites, designers who have moved to here/Bluesky, Dribbble, Blogs.
Also depends on what you're designing for to be honest. Websites, mobile/desktop apps, etc.

True, I’d like to see such interactions more throughout iOS. Perhaps that’s what the redesign will give us.

2025-03-18 10:59:11 UTC

- reply

That’s true. To each their own of course!

2025-03-18 10:58:35 UTC

- reply

personally I don’t think we have. We shouldn’t ignore actual physics while implementing motion. Because it still helps when motion design feels natural.

2025-03-18 08:22:41 UTC

- reply

Oh, I don’t like that all 😅 That feels like a bandaid just to make something clear. And the arrow moving around that like feels jarring.

A sheet opening from the bottom and being dismissed by swipe from a side simply is wrong. It needs to be dismissed by swiping down.
Take a piece of paper, you move it up on your desk. Then you swipe that to the right. It doesn’t go downward right? That’s how these sheets should work as well. You swipe it down to dismiss them.

2025-03-18 08:19:12 UTC

- reply

, you mean the tile that opens? That is something that happens through several apps by Apple. But I believe it’s an API that’s reserved for Apple, but I’m not sure. That interaction doesn’t work for everything though, because that means everything needs to be a tile.

2025-03-18 07:50:37 UTC

I believe they’ve already done that. But I guess developers are able to use their own gestures when they see fit.

2025-03-18 07:50:06 UTC

- reply

which ones are those?
What I don’t like is when I’m able to dismiss a sheet that comes from the bottom, and I’m able to dismiss it by swiping from the left. It doesn’t feel right motion wise. It’s just bad design.
Do you have an example of it? I’m having a hard time picturing this.

2025-03-18 07:34:16 UTC

- reply

definitely a matter of taste. Though I do wonder, how else would you want those to transition? They give a sense of hierarchy and shows the user how to move through an app.
So an arrow randomly appears up on the screen? And there’s no motion that shows how a screen moves beforehand?
Those are poorly designed in that case. Also destroyed the possibility of adding swipe actions for things like Telegram.

2025-03-18 03:30:08 UTC

- reply

Well, in that case I can understand. I don’t know how “back” would work from the right edge though. Motion-wise you would go into a different opposite direction. How do you expect swiping from the right works?
Also, I reckon this only happens in third party apps? I can’t find any first party apps allowing me to swipe from anywhere to go back.

2025-03-18 03:26:29 UTC

- reply

Only sometimes, in poorly designed third party apps. It is frustrating when that happens, but that’s not on Apple though. It’s developers feeling the need they need to come up with their own system of gestures and paradigms.
I’m curious as to how it can be improved though. In first party apps and throughout the OS it already works really well if you ask me.

2025-03-17 20:37:43 UTC

- reply

Why do you swipe from right to left though? The fact that iOS doesn’t do this is (most) apps is for consistency reasons I reckon. Most first party apps are limited to swiping from the edge as far as I know.
I’m not being an Apple fan-boy here. Just wondering why you need a universal back gesture. Coming from Android I do get it though. But that my argument is still; Apple shouldn’t change these things just to appease Android users.

2025-03-17 20:33:32 UTC

- reply

“When coming from Android” is a key thing here I reckon. I’m used to how these gestures work because I’m iOS only. Personally I don’t miss a universal back button.
Motion design is a key-factor with these gestures and I believe iOS is doing a great job with it. They shouldn’t change such paradigms just to appease Android users

2025-03-17 20:08:45 UTC

Isn’t swiping right already a universal back gesture on iOS/iPadOS?

Yeah, it’s a real bummer that Fable died. I reckon Rive is still the best one while avoiding After Effects.

sounds promising though.

You might like Jitter in that case. It’s like Fable, but still alive: https://jitter.video/

No worries, was curious myself about it as well 😇 I'm glad it's all up and running again.

you mean in here? I’m still able to see his posts.

2025-01-19 08:01:53 UTC

With big tech owning everything, I really want to have my own blog. But I hardly have the time to design/code one 😅

2024-07-04 18:07:39 UTC

- reply

True! And nope! I have the same layout for both keyboards, so the OS doesn’t need to switch layouts for me.

2024-07-04 18:04:17 UTC

- reply

it works after I set it up anew. I removed all keyboard and only have Dutch/English now. The globe has been replaced with the emoji button.
I’ve never had the issue on iOS 17 or 16 actually. But then again, I’ve never used more than Dutch and English. I believe it designed to only work with 2 languages pre-iOS 18 as well though.

2024-07-04 17:37:18 UTC

might have fixed it by setting up the multilingual keyboard anew.

2024-07-04 16:49:02 UTC

- reply

it definitely sucks 😅 The quick-type bar doesn’t even suggest English words 😣

2024-07-04 16:45:27 UTC

Not liking the way the multilingual keyboard works on iOS 18. It keeps autocorrecting English words to Dutch 😅
