I can't remember what it was like when using my iPhone 6S since its been a long time. But what's wrong with those buttons? They are the most useful buttons that I use so many times a day.

I would find it very annoying if they removed the feature.

I didn’t say anything’s wrong with them, I’ve just never encountered them (I use an older phone). The camera icon seems maybe superfluous if you can still swipe left to access the camera, but maybe you can’t on the newer phones? The flashlight seems useful for sure.
 
oo haven't been paying too much attention for swiping left for the camera as I usually just use the onscreen camera button on the bottom right.

I should've been more clear it was someone else who mentioned they didn't like those buttons down the bottom earlier not you so sorry about the confusion.
 
I actually tried and replicate what you have described but I couldn't even get the camera and flashlight button to show up when I drag the notifications up. From the screenshot I can see that my screen seems to have more empty space above the "Notification Centre" text compared to yours. So I have failed to replicate your test case.


Hmmm, now that is strange. Your layout definitely appears to be different than mine... spacing is different and labeling is different. Not sure why 🤷‍♂️
 
Just updated to 13.5.... it appears that this has FINALLY been fixed. Knock on wood...
 
Jumped the gun...seems to be better in some instances, but overall problem still remains.
 
Siri: Its moms birthday. Call mom.
Me: Calls mom, launches from Siri.
Siri (rest of the day). It’s mom‘a birthday. Call mom.
 
Can you please share the wallpaper?


If you have the right combo of notifications on your notification screen, the bottom notification ends up behind the camera and flashlight button, and those buttons block any interaction with that notification. If you try to drag it up above, it just rubber-bands back down. It's been like this since the release of iOS13.

This is either a pathetic intentional design choice, or a total neglect of a pretty inexcusable bug for 8 months. Either way, this isn't the kind of user experience I signed up for. I'm really starting to run out of patience for this nonsense.:mad:
 
Interacting with the notification when behind the flash light and camera buttons on the lock screen works on my iPhone 11 pro.

The bottom notification shouldn't be behind the flashlight and camera buttons at all. It doesn't matter if you can open it while it's stuck back there-- the point is that it should be ABOVE the buttons when you scroll all the way down.

Still not fixed in IOS14.

Easiest way to reproduce is to clear all notifications, play some music, and then set 4 notifications to trigger within a few minutes. The bottom reminder notification will be stuck behind the flashlight and camera buttons.

maybe we just use them differently and I don't encounter any issues, but I still fail to understand why the bottom notification shouldn't be behind the flashlight and camera buttons at all from your use case description.

In saying that I did encountered a few bugs when I am cleaning up my contact list and deleting some of them (it is not something I do often and the last time I did it was a few years ago)

Have you ever submitted a bug report to Apple about this? If it takes so much effort for 1 to try to reproduce the issue (assuming the "issue you are having" wasn't implemented by design) then chances is no one actually know about it, and it isn't going to be fixed.
