iOS 15 Tidbits: Text Cursor Magnifier, New Dial Picker, Custom Text Size Per App, and More

I know people think that a long press on space bar is fine, but having had 3D Touch, I, like you, really miss just a firm press ANYWHERE to start moving...
iOS 15 really seems like a big QoL update all around! Nothing groundbreaking, but a ton of smaller features that make using the iPhone a lot easier/more enjoyable.
I know it’s not the same but remember you can also grab and move the cursor.
Some of these features I gave feedback on. My question for those beta testing it is can you search an app in spotlight and delete it from the results with a long-press?
What I want to know is what jacka$$ decided it was a good idea to move the address/search bar in safari to the bottom of the page like no other internet browser on the planet? Why are we reinventing the internet here? Give me a way to password protect messages in iMessage, don’t mess up the apps that have worked fine just for the sake of change!!

Well I’m just glad apple appears to be listening to feedback
It takes a while to break the muscle memory, but it’s more intuitive for it to be at the bottom of the screen where your thumb can comfortably reach it
I find the new Magnifier to be very confusing when it is being used in a multi line text box. The magnifier appears over other text, but there isn’t enough visual separation between the contents of the modifier and the text that is above where you are selecting, so it’s not always clear to me what’s happening. They need to give the magnifier more of a visual distinctiveness from the surrounding text, IMO.
No. Start a drag, then swipe to a different app (or go to Home Screen and launch a different app), while keeping dragging finger on the screen.
I think Haptic Touch only sucks if you have a non-FaceID device since the space bar is at the bottom of the screen. So in order to go down any further you have to tap and hold the space bar, swipe up, and then swipe down. On a FaceID device there is plenty of room to go down from the space bar since the emoji and dictation buttons are below it and there is a massive space of nothing in between.
Since devices all the way to the 6S are still supported in iOS15 (woohoo!) this is definitely an oversight by the UI team.

You're definitely right about that. Took away the text magnifier/dial picker, and now they're back again as "new features" haha.
Yes, but they show up as embedded images, not attachments. It would just be nice to have a separate input for actual attachments. Similar to the functionality in Gmail.
That’s true, I just think it’s a tad unnecessary, intuitive or not I think most iOS users are creatures of habit and the fix for a few is more of an annoyance to most… I’ve been using it a few days and it’s driving me insane lol.
I love that change. It makes it possible to do a search without having to tap on the top of the screen just to move your fingers back to the bottom to type the address. That’s a small win for usability.
This is true. I think people don’t realise the difference between an in-line and attachment option.
Finally, WAY overdue, this method to find apps & delete them. No idea why they remove their functionality from the App Store as list of purchased/free apps!!!
