Basically the title. If it feels like the new method in iOS 17 of hitting the plus symbol, then scrolling up and then selecting photos in iMessage takes too long you can just long hold the plus symbol and it’ll short cut to pics.
Edit: Also you can drag and rearrange apps in the + menu as well.
Oh this is gold ! Long hold the spacebar on the keyboard allows you to move the cursor is another one few people know but changed my life.
The lack of discoverability is the biggest problem with long press interactions. If something looks like a button a user knows they can press it, but there’s no visual indication something can be long pressed.
Coming from Android and Google keyboard this is an amazing feature. I hated trying to move the cursor with the apple keyboard.
If they only would have kept 3D Touch. This feature was twice as powerful back then.
Right now you can only move the cursor and select (by tapping with another finger). But you can’t de-select. You could do all that with just your thumb with 3D Touch.
Too bad apple refises to provide a manual with these kinds of features in it. That’d be useful. No, it’s not intuitive, clearly.
There is a very detailed manual with each version of iOS actually. The keyboard is explained too, including this :)
You can find them in Apple Books (Picture in German)
This is amazing, however not being able to search by release number is not great, not being able to sort by newest release is not fantastic either. 30 minutes of searching and still unable to find iPad or iPhone for iOS 17.
Yeah, I’m not sure they’ve been released yet, which is strange.
I figured out the stickers on my own.
Thank you!
Handy!
Cool, didn’t know that. Would be even better if we could customize which item it opens. Cuz I never use photos, but always use gif keyboard.
Nice! Thanks!

Thanks. Tapping “photos” does nothing for me but this works.
