Switched to Beta 5 and the photos app was the first thing I noticed. The constant scrolling to get to different sections as opposed to buttons at the bottom dividing things up is the biggest pain point for me.

As a beta user, I hate most of the changes.

I’ve had the beta since Developer Beta 1, since then the photos app looks like this. You can customize a lot, which I did about a month ago when I decluttered my gallery.

It’s completely different. I spent +30 hours the last month in there and sometimes I still have trouble with it.

It will get soooo much hate and backlash from the majority of people.

Search’s better tho.

These changes sound terrible.

yeah also the AI shit in Messenger is annoying af. If you tap wrong suddenly you're in 'ai helper mode' and have to exit out to finish your message.

Apple's OS updates – whether iOS or macOS – haven't been very good for years now

I don't mind the changes they are proposing for the Photos app; the current version annoys me as there is no way to sort photos by recent to older. For whatever reason, the oldest photos are on top while the most recent are in the bottom. It drives me mad, at the very least a proper chronological sorting option is very much appreciated. Everything else, I can adjust, since I don't have a strong Apple Muscle Memory.

See, all I ever wanted is to see the photos I took in chronological order. But yay, progress!

I don’t hate it but I don’t love it either. I find it slower to get to what I want though than iOS 17 which is annoying.
