When you go to select a picture to save it now only offers a copy option. So now you have to take a screenshot and crop it manually.

The select screen is fundamentally broken.

The flashlight button was a simple on/off from the swipe down. Now it's got a sub screen. Done doesn't mean "done using flashlight" it means "done using this sub screen". It's a whole extra thing that never needed to exist.

Let's just roll back to the way it was. Because this is horrible. Decreased functionality or unnecessary extra steps.

For me with the flashlight if I press the icon left of text it toggles on/off but if I press the text part that's when it opens the menu

Yeah, that works fine. The same way Wifi and Bluetooth works.

Usually when a flashlight is needed there is some fat fingering going on. This screen offers nothing. It's a complete waste of space and is 80% of the flashlight button when you go to turn on the flashlight.

But the flashlight is on when this dialog is visible. So what's the problem exactly?

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 0 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It's a whole separate screen that doesn't need to exist. It doesn't have a single feature that can't be accessed the old way. Those features being on and off.

You realized you can change the brightness of the flashlight with it?

You might not need it, but I for example find it very useful, e.g. when going into the kid's room.

Thank you for that. It makes it ever so slightly less annoying
