All about the best cell phones

At the beginning of the week, a Apple revealed iOS 15 has a number of new features. One of the most interesting ones, however, ended up not being presented, remaining somewhat “secret” amidst so many new things: the new drag and drop feature. The functionality ended up being noticed later by some of the users who already have access to the new version, who were pleasantly surprised.

Federico Viticci, from the website Mac Stories, posted a short video on his Twitter account demonstrating how the feature works on the iPhone. You can see that the drag and drop procedure is simple and intuitive in iOS 15, as it is in several other products and operating systems.

Drag and drop has been standard on computers for over 20 years. On mobile devices, it’s a bit more complicated because it can involve using multiple fingers to drag and drop documents between screens and apps. In other words, you’ll need to use the multi-touch feature. There’s no mouse or touchpad to help, and on top of that, the screen size of smartphones like the iPhone is limited, making the gesture a bit “more laborious.”

As in the video posted by Viticci, on an iPhone with iOS 15, after selecting an item, be it an image or text, you need to drag it on the screen with one finger without releasing it. Meanwhile, with a different finger, the user You have to go to the new screen or enter multitasking mode and load the target app. Once the new app is open, you simply release your finger from the image or text within it. In short, in most cases, you will need to use both hands to make use of the new feature.

It is interesting to note that a visual cue appears in the upper right corner of the item being dragged, a green “+” sign, indicating that it is possible to drop the file in that new location. If the user drops the item anywhere else on the screen without seeing the “+” sign, it will be necessary to do it all over again. Although it may seem complex in some situations, depending on the moment, this feature can be a great alternative.
