Oh, I see that now. I could have sworn that wasn't there when I read the article initially? In any case, I'm glad iOS users will still have that functionality!

Oh! Right. That totally slipped my mind, since I haven't used iOS for a few years now.

I've been using iOS since the iPhone first came out and never knew about this feature. Thanks for the hint!

Oh so they plan to incorporate this feature into iOS soon then?

The new iOS will have that feature though, IIRC.

Thanks! Happy to know that feature is not completely gone. I actually asked at the apple store about this, but they thought there was no equivalent in the new phones.

Ooh, truly good news. I will be very interested to see how it works on other apps in iOS.

I thought iOS doesn't do that anymore?

swinglock | karma 1118 | avg karma 2.34 · | 2019-10-25 11:00:22

I thought this was added in iOS 13.

chipotle_coyote | karma 9142 | avg karma 3.73 · | 2020-09-01 05:20:33+00:00

That's coming in iOS 14, evidently.

tech234a | karma 5983 | avg karma 9.3 · | 2023-11-07 20:16:50

Yeah that launched as an unadvertised feature in iOS 10.3.

Oh, thank you! Twelve years iPhone user here. Never knew it’s there.

quickthrowman | karma 2681 | avg karma 1.53 · | 2022-09-12 18:06:17

Oh, that’s great news! Glad to hear that Apple included that in the iOS 16 version, I haven’t upgraded yet. Thanks for the info!

saagarjha | karma 56017 | avg karma 2.29 · | 2019-08-29 12:02:17

iOS 11 added this, actually.

to3m | karma 4399 | avg karma 2.14 · | 2015-02-11 18:41:43+00:00

This article was quite eye-opening, I have to say. I will have to grill my iPhone-owning friends about this... I wonder if they've noticed, or if it's explicitly called out in the UI.

charrondev | karma 1115 | avg karma 2.55 · | 2023-04-08 14:33:19

This functionality is built into iOS as well.

evancox100 | karma 1138 | avg karma 2.9 · | 2019-09-09 21:45:58+00:00

Thank you, I'm a new iPhone user and did not know that. (Not exactly discoverable)

cncool | karma 36 | avg karma 0.62 · | 2014-01-03 16:23:34+00:00

Ah good too know. I guess that is new in iOS 7.

maxekman | karma 616 | avg karma 3.69 · | 2017-08-24 16:33:31

Great move by Apple if the feature is kept in the final release of iOS 11.

sitkack | karma 14538 | avg karma 1.82 · | 2019-05-24 19:43:00

iOS includes it by default.
