Tap+swipe up behaviour is reversed

Andrii shared this question ago

Answered

Hello!

The standard iOS behaviour for maps is tap + swipe up = zoom in

But Locus map zooming it out.

This is super inconvenient due to years of “muscle memory” using iOS.

Could you please reverse the behaviour to be in align with apple guidelines?

Please see the video I recorded to fully understand what I mean

Andrii - do you mean just for the iOS version of LM? I'd guess Android users are happy with existing behavior from past 10 years?

Yes, for sure. I don’t know how this gesture should behave on Android.

My message is dedicated for iOS solely.

Hi Andrii,

Interestingly, Google Maps for iOS uses the same zooming method as Locus Map: tap+swipe up to zoom out. However, the mapping library MapLibre, which our app (and many others) use, has this behavior hard-coded. We'll try to work around this and offer to change the zooming direction in Locus Map settings.

That would be great. Thank you.

I also tested OsmAnd and guru maps - they follow original apple maps behaviour - tap+swipe up to zoom in. Google is well known for not following Apple guidelines.
