The "iHate the Paste from notifications, plus do we really need Green and Orange dots" thread?

[Vlad Soare]

Exactly.
Now, in order to circumvent that dot the app would have to actively exploit a security vulnerability (if there was any), so Facebook would have no excuse if caught red-handed again.

Dear Tim Apple,

We love iOS because of its simplicity, the paste from nonsense is NOT NEEED AT ALL...and do we really green and orange dots to claim these are privacy features?

SHOW ME HOW TO DISBLE THESE RIGHT NOW! 🤬🤬🤬

Dear Tim Apple,

Please disregard this post, I see this as an essential feature that should have been introduced years ago.

🙂

Do you want to allow app to access more photos?....Do you want to allow app for location?...Ask App not to track...
Green dot......Orange dot.....and oh the Location options are like 100 options

and while you are at it, let's give options for users to choose the default apps, and let's throw in some Widgets for fans to spend time on to customise to feel better about themselves

This is not a great simple experience we are used to from Apple, this is just Apple trying to woo more Android fans

iOS 14 is BY FAR the most un Apple update ever!

A variety of those things have been there well before iOS 14. Technology progresses. Computers can also do quite a bit more than word processing and a game of solitaire these days.

You feel overwhelmed. I get it. I had the same feeling when the iPhone 6 was announced, since I was still unhappy about the increase in size of the iPhone 5. (I had up until then upgraded every year since the original iPhone, but kept using my 5S until it broke in the iPhone 7 era.)

However, judging by reviews, fan YouTube and the reactions here, you have to conclude that most of these updates are pretty much universally loved, just as the iPhone 6 was.

Funny you mentioned that, i felt the same exact thing.

I got the iPhone 6 on day one: 19 September 2014, i had it for over 18 months, i couldn't wait for Apple to release the first SE, believe it or not i bought the first SE five times so far, it's the best for me

If you think reviews on Youtube is the standard for what's good and bad, then simply copy everything on Android and you will get even more happy customers

I understand Apple wants to hold on its market share, and they realised the only way to do that, is to please Android fans...but for the last 3 years it feels like Apple is slowly becoming less and less Apple and more opening up to consider anything to please Android fans to switch to iOS

So don't blame me if i feel alienated by all of this, Apple is all about simplicity, and iOS 14 isn't simple at all....

Still not sure how small non-obtrusive indicator dots present in the status bar fit in there. By that measure iPhone OS from the very beginning wasn't simple with signal bars for cellular connection and WiFi indicator being present in the status bar all along.

Even Apple users and users that have never used Android have been pushing for Apple to open things up. Jailbreaking didn't come into being because of Android. It's because even Apple lovers want some degree of additional customization. Apple is finally giving that and I think it's great.

I am glad the green and orange dot notifications were added as I am used to seeing a green dot when using my MacBook. Now I will know for sure if an app is using the camera/mic.

How do I turn this blasted “pasted from x” drop down banner off!

Is this meant to be a privacy feature? Telling me...that apps are snooping my clipboard. Well I know that. I just pasted something from! Whatever function it serves, if it is a privacy feature it should be sandboxed, right?

What use is this thing. So annoying. But there is nothing in privacy settings to castrate the bloody thing.

 

[cupcakes2000]

Until the day when it pops up saying something is pasted from somewhere which you didn’t initiate.

 

[bransoj]

Cant be turned off, appears for a few seconds not really in the way of other things and it already shopped numerous apps including some big names for taking stuff off the clipboard that folk didnt realise was happening...dont understand why folk think its a bad thing.

Right? I’m very glad that Apple implemented this feature so I know which apps are infringing my privacy. Who knows how many photos or other sensitive information has been sent to these companies/developers without knowing.

There was another thread of someone complaining about that feature lol.
