Why does #iOS do this shit? I have the #Zoho mail app set as the default mail app in iOS, yet certain apps (hello #Safari, you dick) still give me this popup to install Mail when clicking a mailto link.
What’s the point in having the option to change the default fucking mail app then? 😡
@kev Looks a bit like the half-assed way Apple implemented the “default browser” feature in iOS. Many actions in apps (e.g. opening a link from a toot using the mastodon app) will use Safari instead of “the default browser”. And many websites will ask “switch to our app or continue using Safari”, apparently ignoring the user-agent field.
@kev Chrome (eww) set as default in windows the other day and I clicked a button in either windows settings or MS Office, forgotten which... And it forced me into Edge :/
@kev I'd say you gave yourself the answer when you're mentioning "Apple" ...
#Apple is only fun when you're using their systems (it's not actually owned by the consumers paying premium prices) as Apple intents and, thus, give them all your data.
Think about that and you'll find lots of decisions/restrictions/politics supporting that notion. 😉
It turns out that "If you don't pay for it, you're the product" is not the only option to be the product after all. 🤷
