I have an issue: on my phone, while I scroll with my thumb, I quite often hit the like button in posts randomly.
The like button seems to be exactly at the wrong place.
Which can be quite awkward, depending on the conversation I’m browsing.
I realize people with a different morphology probably don’t encounter the same issue. And I don’t even have a suggestion for a fix, but maybe someone has.
Putting it on the left might be a way to solve it.
When I test scrolling with my thumb on other icons, links don’t get triggered. What’s the difference with the like button?
Maybe there’s a way to disable click event in case of touch+scroll.
Generally the trend now in phone apps is to have as many interactable within easy reach of the phone considering most typing happens by the thumb of the predominant hand (which is holding the phone) .
Extra likes? What’s not to like?
If it wasn’t for that feature some of us would never get any likes at all… so please keep hitting that heart as you scroll, for my sake
Agreed. If this can’t be solved at least allow likes inadvertently given to be retracted. I often find later that I’ve inadvertently liked a post that I’m then unable to change.
Didn’t know that. I have mis-likeda couple of posts and been able to retrct the like fairly quickly. Never tried it with a like that was left for a longer period.
