apple makes it kind of hard; three taps vs. android one swipe and one tap or are you implying it cannot be disabled b/c it is needed?
With force touch or just a regular swipe?
It's gesture based - swipe up from the bottom.
It’s not force touch, it’s long touch now.
Have you tried "touch to click"? And also, "double-tap-and-hold-to-drag"?
I have to ask why these things aren't gesture activated ...
I'm more worried about swipe recognition. It regularly happens to me that I want to swipe up the control centre and accidentally press a button in the app instead. Esp if screen or my finger are a bit wet. The home button always works.
Why swipe around when you could just press a button?
UX discoverability on iOS is atrocious. You have to know what the special gestures are just switch and open apps, whereas Android has buttons.
Classic apple- hiding useful features behind very unintuitive gestures / controls. I never would've discovered this on my own.
