@techsinger@tweesecake.social @stevo399@dragonscave.space @BTyson@dragonscave.space @jpellis2008@dragonscave.space The first year I did this, it took me more time because I was learning to use iOS at the same time. Perhaps, because I do basic things like texting, email, reading, writing and browsing the net, but I find I can do each of these things just as quickly on my phone as I could on the computer. I quite often forget I'm typing using a BT keyboard with my phone and not using a computer. I would say working with files--saving them and moving them around--took me the most time to learn and understand. Now, I do all that as a matter of course and don't even think about it. As for app updates, I find they break very seldom, and I have yet to have sounds or speech suddenly disappear after app or even iOS updates. These things used to happen all the time with Windows updates, and is the primary reason I decided to use my phone. Also, app updates take almost no time for me to install, and i was spending what I considered to be way too much time updating the computer. The point I'm attempting to make here is, until one tries using their phone for more tasks, they really can't know how easy or difficult it is. Once I stopped expecting my phone to behave like my PC is when I really began to learn how to use it.

  • @Lynn@mastodon.stickbear.me I'm glad it's working for you, but am sorry to say that, no matter how much time I spent on it, it was just too slow, at least on the iPhone. I didn't spend enough time to really tell on Android. My problem was just that iOS is too menu-based, if I can use that wording. Every step, just for example, copying stuff to clipboard and pasting it, took a while. Keyboard shortcuts to launch specific programs are difficult, though not impossible. Multi-tasking is a bit of a headache. Jumping back and forth is just slightly more of a pain on iOS, but keeping things running in the background is quite a bit more annoying than it is on Windows. It didn't help that I was never able to use the touch screen comfortably except by swiping. I think it also helped that I never had an issue with Windows updates, I just stopped them completely after I realized they were more trouble than they were worth. As I said, though, I'm very pleased indeed to hear it works for you. Why do we all have to use the same thing? @stevo399@dragonscave.space @BTyson@dragonscave.space @jpellis2008@dragonscave.space
