Since iOS 17, Apple has integratedan iPhone feature that is reminiscent of the Apple Vision Pro. This includes performing gestures during a FaceTime call, but also for other video conferencing applications, which trigger certain 3D effects. Unfortunately, this new feature has caused certain inconveniences for users, but which should be corrected thanks to iOS 17.4.
Gestures will no longer be enabled by default
The problem with these gestures is that they are activated by default. So, many users who were not aware of this fact encountered some embarrassing situations. This is by experiencing the functionality unintentionally during a call. Imagine, you are in a telephone meeting with a serious interlocutor, and suddenly, you trigger a fireworks animation on the screen. Nothing serious in itself, but it can be embarrassing.
In order to overcome this problem, the Apple company decided to modify the API. As reported by our colleagues fromMacRumors,This allows video conferencing apps to disable gesture-based reactions in their apps by default, according to information obtained by MacRumors contributor Aaron Perris.
Why did Apple introduce these gestures?
This introduction from Apple is likely intended to get people used to using their hands to operate features, but without direct support, such as a phone, tablet, keyboard, mouse, or controller. A bit like with the Apple Vision Pro or the Apple Watch.Readdlealso introduced “aerial gestures» in its applicationDocumentsin December, but in a more advanced manner.
As we mentioned in our article on the subject,Readdlestates that the objective of introducing this type of gesture is not to review the way we interact with our devices, but to offer a new way of navigating within interfaces. To do this,Readdleoffers, for example, to control the playback of a video without touching the screen of your iPhone.
