On the subject of notifications, clearing notifications on other devices does clear the notification on iOS too, assuming the developer of that app implemented and designed for that behavior.<p>It is true that clearing a notification may not clear the app badge, but that's because there's a distinction between clearing and dismissing notifications. To dismiss a notification, you have to view it, either by pulling down the notification banner as it comes in, or long pressing; that peeks at the notification, and if you pull down on it again, it's dismissed. Otherwise, if you clear the notification, it's assumed that you have not viewed it (since you can bulk clear and not have to interact with every notification individually). This may not be straightforward at first, but at least I prefer that it fails safe for the user, and they don't miss a notification they accidentally swiped away. I hear notifications on iOS 15 are coming closer to the Android experience, if that helps.<p>On the subject of getting to the settings quicker, at least on iOS 15 you can get to Spotlight search faster.<p>Regarding auto-correct, it's the first thing I turn off and only keep predictive text, but at least when you do have it on, you get a visual cue that the word has been changed with the word flashing. It would be better if it underlined the word like it does for when it's not sure whether it chose the correct word during dictation.<p>I would've expected something more systemically wrong (of which I'm sure there are at least a few) referred to in the article than just a few UI/UX quirks.
