The whole purpose of beta software is to try and see what works best and what customers would like best. The final ios 17 when it launches then thats it, they wont be messing around after that.

Well, they will for the small stuff. The beta will continue. They'll still be improving months after the September release. Maybe not that "messing around" though.

Apple needs new software designers. This is ridiculous.

Example: the long-press on + to immediately go to the photo picker.

STUPID. Not intuitive at all, even in the slightest.

Most people send PHOTOS in their texts more than they use stickers, avatars, location data and other features.

So rather than make a PHOTO button front and center and easily accessible, they expect you to think of long-pressing a simple button in order to introduce the shortcut.

Who thinks that way? Nobody. No one. Not a single person would think, intuitively, to hold down + as a fast way to bring up photos.

Ridiculous. I’m so tired of having to use Google or YouTube to search how to perform simple functions that a 3-year old used to be able to figure out with iOS. It’s like nothing matters anymore.

Of all the options now hidden, the photos option is the most used. So long pressing the + for photos is great, IMO. I've already been using it a lot. It's handy.

No... 3D Touch didn't work with a tap either... You're not 3D touching it — you're long pressing it. The amount of pressure you're applying is irrelevant — with 3D Touch — it made a difference.
so true people is confusing with

I beg to differ — the reason it was moved is because a lot of people complained due to being left-handed, of course while I am right-handed — I still found it uncomfortable because that is where my assistive touch button rests. I don't think this has anything to do with pressing the screen while on a call so it doesn't dim — why do you even need to do that?!
When you go into your keypad, you do so to enter numbers, so why would you even risk tapping the bottom right corner?..
so please update your reply?

What did apple do in beta 7? I already thought so.

And you think that Android doesn’t have stuff like that?…you need to calm down. Hardly the worst thing the world right now…
