iOS 10 Concept Simplifies Lock Screen With Collapsed Notifications

[oftheheavens]

When I first saw him post this I agreed he was on to something great and needed to post it in feedback. I'm glad his design is getting attention!

I hope this story makes the rounds on the Internet so that Apple may pay attention and implement the feature

What makes a design elegant? Shiny chrome? Pinstripes? Faux leather, felt, linen? Drop shadows? Color? Just trying to get a definition of elegant.

This would be nice. Instead of getting 100 "So-and-so liked your photo" messages from Instagram over a 15 minute period, it could just collapse them all down. Although honestly I should probably just turn it off because it's freaking annoying.

It's not too late for Apple to add this. They've changed and added small things during beta periods in the past. This would be a small but significant change for some users.

I still never get notifications from Instagram even though it's turned on

Apple has also provided developers with the ability to update existing notifications with new information, or delete them, which should help declutter the Lock screen and Notification Center. But many apps still generate multiple notifications, such as every photo, video, or message you receive on Snapchat.

Ummm....The apps doing that wouldn't be able to take advantage of that functionality until iOS 10 is released in the fall. So, it seems quite reasonable that those "many apps still generate multiple notifications." Just saying.

Leather bound spiral with some green felt!!!!! LOL

No, not really. Keep the thin, change the color and give it some depth.... simply drop the Nintendo Looking GUI.

And how about start defining buttons. Blue, random placed text is stupid.

How about give us some theme control. I want a space gray theme, I'm sick of white on white with fem colors. I don't need my phone's OS outing my sexuality every time I unlock it.

Do music controls still materialize over the time display when music starts/is playing?

So allowing users to have their own themes is a definition of elegant. Ok.

I think that something like this would work great

As always, Apple can't win. If they redesign something, it's rubbish and if they copy from Android (which is what's suggested), they get slack.

Apple gets criticism because they sued Samsung for trivial things that were copied.

I'm so over Ivy's being involved in iOS. HE needs to get out of it..

I’m actually worried(?) that this isn’t the signature of Jony Ive. This has watchOS all over it and that was the brain child of Alan Dye, the new VP of UI Design.

sounds like someone isn't comfortable with whom they are....

They sort of are already on the notification screen, but they are too bulky and many apps product far too many notifications. "You haven't played this game in 15 min, here is a reminder notifications!"

Any app that nags me like that will always be immediately deleted.

 

[grey02]

As

There are Android phones for Android style notifications. I don't like this concept.

Get a job at Apple and do some great designs to make Apple great.

This advice goes to all those with better taste than that bunch at Apple.

So let whoever feels something has been copied from them go after Apple if they actually have something to go on.

 

[ke-iron]

Yea I sure hope this is implemented before final release because right now it's a little annoying because I receive a lot of messages.

 

[Mactendo]

Get a job at Apple and do some great designs to make Apple great.

I'd love to.

 

[BrodieApple]

Am I the only one who finds the time on the lock screen to low on the screen and that extra space at the top is wasted and it kind of annoys me?

Was that your attempt trying to slam me?

If you read my entire response you would know that's is not all I said, but no one cares about your opinion anyway.

It is just a joke.

Yeah, I see that, but still he ain't helpin it!

There's a reason Apple isn't doing this...

You can press a notification to respond to it. When text messages are grouped, you cannot press to pull up the conversation that you want.

There can more than likely be a way to have each one of those individual notifications still have separate actions even when they are visually grouped.

 

[Doogh2004]

True, but the spacing still needs to be as wide as your finger, which isn't substantially different than Apple's design. The proposed mock-up certainly wouldn't work.

Hey! Wow! I made it into a blog article! Thanks for sharing my idea!

 

[BornAgainMac]

Toggle setting to do both or don't do anything (like with pro hardware). I like what they did with notifications as it is.

You know, you can turn off notifications on a per app basis?
