I swiped up to dismiss the Safari browser on my iPhone this morning and accidentally invoked a half-hight bookmarks view. I wasn’t sure if it’s a new gesture in iOS 16 or if it’s been there for a while. I wasn’t able to reproduce it and a brief web search didn’t find mention of it in the first few hits. I didn’t really care, so I gave up looking.
If anyone knows how to invoke this feature, I’d love to know. Just not enough to try to find out from checking more than about three search results. Anyway, ahhh discoverability. I remember you…
A related story, shortly after upgrading to the new iPHone. I noticed while driving I got a big album art preview on the Lock Screen while I was driving. However, after customising my Lock Screen it’s gone back to the small activity preview. I have tried a few changes to back, but no dice. New versions of iOS have been successively making the album art smaller and smaller, and i thought this was a return to form, but I guess it must’ve been a bug.
I believe the bookmarks panel just defaults to half-height now. You can pull it up to fill the screen, but otherwise — tapping the button opens it at half-height for me.
