Square Wheels Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 I thought when the new Likes was implemented, you could click once for the default Like. I just tried and and needed to click twice. I know it's sounds trivial, but that's a pain, and I suspect will lead to less Liking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xtech Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 I prefer the 4.2 way by far. You would need a huge amount of space to show all possible reactions. And space is precious in mobile. Kudos to IPS for this approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel F Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 It requires 2 clicks on touch devices (how else would you handle this?) but only 1 everywhere else. Once you hover over the icon, all possible reactions are shown and you can click on any of them => 1 click Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makoto Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Oh. Interesting. It's always been two clicks for me because my surface book is technically a touch device. Never really bothered me either way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 4.1 and below you only had "like" as an option so, yes, it only took one tap because there was only one option. You can of course do this in 4.2 too if you do not want multiple reaction types. Just delete all but "like" and it will work just like it does in 4.1 and below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marklcfc Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 I must admit this has been a concern of mine too. As mentioned I think a long press on mobile should give the options and then move to your selection, where you would then take your finger off the screen to select it = one press. One short press should = like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 We as a society have now degenerated to the point where we have to debate over whether or not clicking a button twice is requiring too much effort out of someone wishing to merely indicate that they like a post in a forum.

Moved my mouse over the icon, clicked it, it did nothing until I clicked it again. This wasn't my phone or table, but my laptop. On my desktop, I move my mouse, click it, the default is then selected. Seems like it should respond similarly on a laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Square Wheels Posted June 27, 2017 Author Share Posted June 27, 2017 I know IPS isn't Facebook, and I actually don't like FB a whole lot, but I was just there on this same device. Clicking the default Like link brought up the other choices, but also the first click selected the default like. Maybe we could have something like that for mobile?

Mack_au Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 If you only allow one reaction, I only allow "like" then it should just be an automatic one touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waccoe.com Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Another thing that we have noticed is that the amount of 'Likes' no longer appears on a post in mobile view as it did on 4.1.x. Is there any way to sort this, please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
