That sounds right. I accidentally tapped too fast, didn’t see anything displayed, and yet Safari opened Ars Technica, which is the shortcut at the location where I tapped, had it rendered my favorites.
I have a custom background that is synced between devices, maybe that slows down the display of the favorites screen, contributing to the bug.
I’ve seen exactly that posited on Apple’s dev boards . There is also a related theory that it’s partially a core/OS issue where the touch stuff is running on one core and an app such as safari starts on another and they get out of sync.
I do know it’s been an elusive thing for them to fully fix.
That’s surprising given that it took me all of five seconds to reproduce.
While you’re here, any idea how to force a time- based focus mode override an active location-based focus mode? See a few posts up. My time-based “…and now really don’t disturb me” mode doesn’t activate while my GPS based Work focus mode is on.
Meanwhile not a peep from iOS about conflicting or overlapping focus modes.
That’s the first time I’ve heard that. OTOH I just tried it myself and got similar results. eg. location seems to override time if there is overlap and I don’t see anything in our IOS developer docs that speaks to it either way.
When I’m back in the office tomorrow afternoon I’ll open a bug with Apple as you have me curious now
Do you have a custom image as the background behind your favorites? (the “new tab page”) I do, which might contribute. Plus my 12 mini is slower than your 13 Pro, that might also contribute.
I just had the same question as this stackexchange user. At some point iOS shuffled all my apps into the app library, so now I have lost track of which handy bur rarely used apps I forgot to re-pin. I can manually look through the entire app library, but there’s no visual cue showing which is already ‘pinned’. Anyone know of a trick/siri shortcut that can figure this out?
Funny, I keep finding myself trying to use Cmd-1 on my iPad Pro 11 to open the first pinned app on the dock, like you can in Windows (Win-1 opens the first app on the taskbar). Hey Apple, if you’re listening, please add this option!
Side note: I just found myself downloading the Bing app on my iPad. The shame!!
That’s what I’m using to play with Chappy/Sydney. It seems I was wrong about it resetting if you lose focus on the app. I must have been timing out when I shifted focus to a different app and it wasn’t the focus itself.
Yeah I hadn’t seen that behavior. It does “hang up” on you too easily. “She” gave me a virtually identical answer to a prior one, and said “I hope that was helpful”. I answered “Not really”. And that was the end of that conversation!
Funny, I’ve been frustrated with the fact that on my iPhone the notification center would randomly slide down on its own. Extensive Google searching revealed no hint of a bug, so I assumed my touch screen had a problem.
Today it did it again, and I happened to notice that I had tapped the phone case a few times. And then I remembered… At some point I thought it would be cool to use back-tap to open the notification center, and months ago I had manually enabled that setting. D’Oh!!!
For those curious: Accessibility > Touch > Back tap. Lots of configuration options. Just remember to not forget.
