I remember seeing Messenger look like this for about half a day a few months back. Looks like it’s finally been rolled out for everyone! Since it just happened without an app update, I’m guessing a fair bit of Messenger is actually just HTML that the app is a wrapper for?

The native code for it was likely there ages ago, and the experiment either ended or more people are in the experiment bucket rather than the control bucket now. I highly doubt any of it is HTML.

It’s similar to how the default iOS messenger looks now I guess. Hasn’t rolled out to me yet.

I like the preview of about 3 words you get now in the messenger view. Like, why bother at all.

Agreed on the new Messenger. I wish I could purge all Facebook apps from my life but I just can’t. Unrelated, does anyone have issues with notifications with the Outlook app? Notifications are spotty (sometimes just stop for no apparent reason) and I have to reset my account every couple of days to fix it. It also doesn’t seem to update in the background which is ridiculous for a mail app....

Oh goddamnit, it looks like Spotify hosed with their design and made it worse too   Everything's been enlarged and thrown out of chronological order and it all goes under Popular Releases now. There are no longer separate sections for latest release and albums and singles/EPs unless you go to See Discography, and only then are releases shown in chronological order. I swear to god, between this and the Messenger redesign, some UX designers really need to be fired lol. Change isn't always bad, but they're changing poo poo that didn't need to be changed and making things less streamlined.

I found out that there is a big difference between how the app functions if you are premium or not. But yeah, either way the app is terrible for actually managing playlists or adding new music to listen to (so I just use the desktop app for that). It's like we somehow didn't have a decade of touchscreen based mobile phones.

My Spotify also updated this morning but it looks exactly the same as it did yesterday. I think the reason they never do real patch notes is that app updates and feature rollouts are completely disconnected from each other.

So all this talk with poo poo getting bigger and Gmail made everything smaller lol! It’s almost too small? Also I honestly can’t find a way to make it bigger so I guess it’s stuck like this?? I can’t imagine old people are in for a good time haha.

I’m really getting fed up with Twitter’s insistence on showing me things I don’t care about and making the things I do care about more annoying to see. I understand that Tweetbot is generally considered the best third-party Twitter app, but I also know that Twitter likes to gently caress around with third-party apps and make it harder for them to function. Are there any user-facing annoyances or limitations I should expect if I switch over to Tweetbot?

Third-party apps are barely useful for displaying the timeline anymore since they have to load and are put behind the official app and website and can be way behind current. Twitter did a good job of crippling them.

If your main use case is “reading my timeline“, Tweetbot is perfect.

FWIW I did like Twitteriffic more than Tweetbot for no reason other than that it's not developed by libertarian assholes. In terms of capability, they're pretty much the same.

How do you guys even use Twitter? I’m 31 so it should come natural to me or whatever but even following 40 people my timeline is a mess and I have no idea what’s new. I can’t imagine people following 100+ accounts.

I can’t imagine people following 100+ accounts. Every official Twitter client, app or web, is a total dumperfuck clusterfire and the only way it’s even vaguely usable is via third-party clients that ignore all the algorithmic timeline garbage, don’t show “promoted” tweets, give you a linear timeline, and remember your place in that timeline

I can’t imagine people following 100+ accounts. I get the majority of my news through Twitter too, so I'm not watching the news on TV or reading a newspaper every day or reading through all the new updates on Facebook. Twitter is covering most of those bases for me, so I no longer have a need for the rest which can take up a similar amount of time per day as I spend on Twitter.

The official app seems fine to me. They recently reintroduced the option to see your timeline in linear fashion again.Endless Mike posted:FWIW I did like Twitteriffic more than Tweetbot for no reason other than that it's not developed by libertarian assholes.

Yeah official app user too, it’s not so bad. And when you change it to ‘latest tweets’ it tells you at the top of the screen that’s the mode you’re in, so you know they’ve not messed you around. My advice is to mainly follow people that make you laugh.

You have to re-enable that setting every few hours because they periodically switch it back to the default “what the gently caress ever” order. It’s not like it’s a huge deal to switch it to latest but the fact that I have to do it every goddamn day annoys the poo poo out of me.

I moved from Android to an iPhone XS back in October, and I've had other iOS devices for years and years, so it wasn't exactly some foreign leap, but I'd never used one as my primary device and run into this. I wouldn't have thought the app I missed most would be simple little AMDroid. I would like an alarm that can be dismissed from the lock screen (is this even possible on iOS?), can have different alarms and schedules for different days of the week, doesn't try to blast me out of the bed with the loudest possible sound, and can skip the next alarm if I wake up before it without having to turn it off then back on again. I've simulated most of these things with an arcane combination of settings. I have DND scheduled for work night timing with enable bedtime during DND. I use Bedtime within Clock.app to extend DND past that time for weekends, but with a silent alarm, because I can't seem to use my own music for an alarm sound in that part of the app, making me have to end the alarm twice on weekends. Then, of course, there are multiple alarms set in the main part of Clock and, despite using ffmpeg to make a version of my preferred wake-up songs with 10% volume and a 30-second fade-in, it somehow still plays them far louder than it should. It doesn't feel like what I want out of an alarm clock is particularly strange, either.

Sleep Cycle is the only thing I know of that comes close to that list. You don't lock your phone though, you turn the alarm on, plug the phone in, and put it face down on your nightstand. It doesn't really have schedules either, you just select the time you want when turning the alarm on. The wake up schedule is nice though, it starts chiming a configurable amount of time before your must-be-up time and you can snooze by tapping the phone. I don't know what "blaring" is to you but it's not too loud for me either.

Blaring, in this case, is the strange disconnect between choosing my modified song in the list and hearing it play with a nice, quiet fade-in, and what it actually plays as the alarm, which is far louder than the preview was.

Everything except the skip alarm is pretty standard... how are you dismissing the alarm if not from the lock screen? It goes off, and two options appear asking whether to kill it or sleep (if enabled). The days of the week are all selected from the Repeat option (just pick the days), and volume is the set from Ringers and Alerts in the Sound menu.
