It’s true. You are right. I’ve checked Twitter and Instagram and both do the same behavior in bottom bars. I’m a user of both from 2008 and I didn’t realize that you could do like this.
Why? Because there exists other way to do it in both apps (l’ve checked) Why? Because it’s not intuitive.
I love the app. The app is intuitive. I think is great that the feature was requested by users because Apollo did it in the same way.
But, that kind of bottom bars usually are not used like this, long pressing one of the tab options.
I like the feature but it’s not intuitive. There is no indicators that show the user have to long press there. And as a sample you can see this thread.
Just like @radhamantys said, but one important thing: You are not an idiot. This app behavior is not intuitive.
This is great!
I switched to WatchYourLan. It’s simpler and I feel I don’t need anything else
