TIL that on iOS 17, if you press long on the + button on iMessage, it’ll automatically open the Gallery. (alien.top)

The spacebar thing has been there since 3D touch was still a thing… But yeah, agree, they should at least explain these neat little tricks in the Tips app instead of just showing off the obvious stuff.

The Tips app is actually really nice at communicating what changes in each iOS update!

3D Touch wasn’t restricted to the spacebar though. You could deep press and slide your cursor from anywhere on the keyboard and I miss that.

Same. I miss 3D touch as a whole, it was really neat

I still press down on the screen to move the cursor around. I haven’t had 3D Touch for years on my phone.

That’s how intuitive and effective it was as a feature.
