A. Smith Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 I’m not sure what exactly has happened or when, but recently it’s become almost impossible to tap the screen and access the toolbars or whatever they are called in iOS/iPadOS. Instead, virtually every tap on the screen selects a word (even taps on the side margin) and then tapping the screen to deflect a word as I used to do just selects another word! It’s a very frustrating cycle. Of course, touching a large empty space like that between paragraphs often works, but not every text has these and scrolling to such a position then loses my spot in the text. It’s gotten to the point where I’m hesitant to even use the app because it’s just a constant source of frustration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donald Cobb Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 (edited) I think you're running up against what I've found to be one of the most underwhelming modifications to the most recent version (IMO). If you go into the settings for Instant Details, the fist setting is "click once for details" (or something like that; my UI is in French, so I'm translating). Deactivate that and it should get you back to the way iOS Accordance was set up before. Edited July 9, 2022 by Donald Cobb 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Patterson Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Thanks for asking this. I've been annoyed by this for weeks, but not enough to check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 I feel personally responsible for this feature. I’ve been asking for it for years. I love it. Except, the tap targets for words are entirely too big. I also wish that taps in white space would not hide the bars. I desire being able to tap empty space in the title bars to show / hide the user interface. Even with the tap to show instant details turned off, showing and hiding the interface is annoyingly unpredictable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
