Now that you can\u00a0download iOS 16<\/span>\u00a0on your iPhone, you’ll find that there are some features and settings that you absolutely love. And on the other hand, you’ll find\u00a0others that you might not be so fond of<\/span>. If you’re getting the new iPhone 14<\/span>, this will apply to you too.<\/p>\n

One particularly frustrating feature that comes to mind is the addition of the Search button at the bottom of the home screen (right above your dock). Many people are unhappy with the new home screen setting and here’s why: While the Search feature on iOS is useful for quickly finding text messages, files, settings, websites and photos, the new button is placed in a location where it’s easy to accidentally tap it — especially when you’re scrolling through your various home screen pages.<\/p>\n

And when you do inadvertently hit the new Search button, the Search feature blows up in full screen. Then you have to swipe out of it to go back to your home screen, which is annoying.<\/p>\n
