Reply to comment by BattermanZ in Upgraded from Galaxy to iPhone; Missing the back gesture so much. by lucinaiscool

What basic things are missing? As someone who's using a 14PM I often find myself saying the opposite. iOS lacks so many things that make android phones great

Off the top of my head, I think that iPhones are missing:

  • a back button
  • a true general silent mode (no vibration)
  • a button based shortcut to start the camera (not tapping the back since it doesn't work with my case)
  • a keyboard with long press access to special characters
  • built in scrolling screenshots
  • setting several timers running at the same time

Maybe some others but can't remember them right now !

Well I can tell you one tip from the Lock Screen. If you swipe from the right of the screen to the left, it opens the camera

Thanks! I know that one, but this only works when your screen is locked. Meaning it is actually faster to start your camera when your phone is locked than when it's unlocked and being used. Sounds a bit crazy no? 😅

Ya. I figure it was probably a known feature. Only other thing I could suggest is putting a button for it in the control center

Thanks for the advice! That's actually what I did but I have ton confess that I have trouble making a habit to use this shortcut. I guess it will come with time! I will probably forever miss the Samsung shortcut.

Do you know if it's possible to disable this? I'm constantly swiping notifications away on my Lock Screen and after the second or third one I always seem to trigger the camera by accident.

There's literally a camera button in the bottom right of the Lock Screen! I'd much prefer to just use that and not swipe.

I’m not sure. I do the same thing at least once a day as well. But I haven’t looked to see. I’ll have to take a scroll through the settings and see.

You can go into settings and have the iPhone not vibrate when on silent

By doing that you are deactivating all vibrations from.the phone. I do not want that so I just did it for every single app sending notifications. Pretty labour intensive...

Use the switcher on the side of the phone, and in the sound part of settings, turn off vibrate on silent, worked for me great

You mean the "play haptics in silent mode" option?
