VaderNT16366y@karma tbh I don't find long press intuitive on mobile either. To me it feels more like "We've run out of ideas how to implement the action differently... Screw it, we're going with the least discoverable option".
-
VaderNT16366y@irene That's fair. OTOH some things I've seen respond to long-press make me face palm. Switches, texts, sliders. The real world equivalent would be to long-press door handles. It makes no sense.

Kaji22636yMost long press functions I’ve discovered by accodent while trying to do something else.
What I really hate though is this force touch business. -
hitzoR2636yLong press should be used just for actions which are done really sporadically or by just few users. It certainly isn't good for some common actions.
If toggle or switch is considered suitable for the task by PM (who will have same opinions as some random user in terms of UX) then using long press would be really unintuitive.
