(several iOS v. ago). that's not new. Why I said several iOS versions ago. where 'several' is 11 versions ago, with iphone os 1 in 2007. I was referring to the sudden shift in Apple apps to move things into the settings. The compass is an example. there is no sudden shift and it's up to the app developer. for compass, there is only one setting, true north, which would be clutter for the app, especially since it's rarely changed, if ever. it's been that way since ios began and entirely up to individual app developers where to put app settings. ^this^ apple wanted a central location for all settings. some app developers adopted that concept while others did not. It's structurally wrong. System settings should contain system related settings. App settings should contain app related settings. both methods are valid. Because you can 'do' it that way, does not make that way the best or correct way. Violates structured design principles for s/w design and u/i design. putting settings all in one place is structured, just differently. as i said, both methods are valid. having it in settings is less clutter for the app. the problem is that What belongs to an app should be in the app. Period. That's just structured design. except that some settings are system related, such as whether to display notifications, whether the app should use cellular data. if location services is active or if the app has access to the camera, microphone, etc. there's no consistency. some apps even have a mix of both. Then Apple should respect structured design and make it such that app configuration/settings are only set from within the app. see above. |
