#please put it back

I really need to talk for a minute about this new mobile update and how much I as a legally blind person hate whatever the hell is going on with the photos and how it's making this app nearly impossible for me to use

I'm not sure the same thing is happening on the desktop version but for those who may not know in the app whenever you tap on a photo it used to just pop up and you could double tap to enlarge it and zoom in and scroll around and all was great.

A double tap now likes the photo and it must be pinched and pulled to zoom in and out. A mild annoyance, and nothing compared to the rest of the update. If you scroll up, which I do frequently when trying to navigate an enlarged photo, it will send you to ANOTHER photo based on the tags of the post.

That's right, a completely different photo!!! A feature no one asked for and no one wants!! This isn't facebook, or instagram, and maybe tiktok but I never had that so this is a guess. When I click on the photo I only want to see that photo (or in the case of multiple photos in a post I want to be able to easily scroll side to side for those). I do not want to be taken to another post!!! Also if you scroll too far to the left you are then sent to the profile of the person who reblogged the post. I do not know why. Who wants this feature? Is it a feature at all?

As someone who only taps on a photo because I cannot see it and I need to enlarge it, this is beyond a simple annoyance. I cannot navigate the photo like I need, there's a hair trigger on whether it sends you to a new post completely or if you are sent to the profile of the reblogger. Neither, again, are things I want. this leaves me having to back track a lot, re-zoom the photo as it reverts back to normal, and hope dearly that this time I can just read the damned text before it freaks out again.

I haven't seen anyone else talk about this outside of the tags, but really this is making the app unusable for me, and I'm sure for many others.

@staff I know you guys haven't cared about your disabled community much in the past (other photo updates that stopped allowing me to zoom into gifs is proof of that) but please don't make this app unusable for me. I would rather not have to leave.

Hey @support @staff replacing the search icon was disliked enough to make a snooze button, so why did y’all then replace the view blog button with the store???? It’s very frustrating to see the UI get changed around so much and become difficult to use

[thelunastusco]

Hey @staff , clicking someone’s username on a post used to direct you specifically to that post (just on their blog) and now it doesn’t? It just takes you to their blog in general? Please, don’t do this to an autistic gay during pride month, hhhhhhhhh,

[why4anne]

Don’t talk to me rn I’m in mourning over Jacks tooth😭😭

EW. NO. I FINALLY GOT HIT WITH THE NEW TUMBLR DASH. it's so crowded I HATE THIS i've always hated the Twitter UI that's one of the reasons i use tumblr way more, why did they do this im sobbing on the floor /exagg

[foldingfittedsheets]

Boooooo. Tumblr notes stopped showing me new additions to my posts in the Notification Center, it only shows tags.

[bardass]

hi tumblr. um. what the fuck

[an-undercover-bi]

@staff @support Where did the personal blog button go?

Please bring it back.

[shutupdevvie]

i need tumblr to add group chats to the app again. they knew nix, percy, and i together would be too much so they had to get rid of that feature 😤

[cozylittleartblog]

cant tell you how bad it feels to constantly tell other artists to come to tumblr, because its the last good website that isn't fucked up by spoonfeeding algorithms and AI bullshit and isn't based around meaningless likes

just to watch that all fall apart in the last year or so and especially the last two weeks

there's nowhere good to go anymore for artists.

edit - a lot of people are saying the tags are important so actually, you'll look at my tags.

#please dont delete your accounts because of the AI crap. your art deserves more than being lost like that #if you have a good PC please glaze or nightshade it. if you dont or it doesnt work with your style (like mine) please start watermarking #use a plain-ish font. make it your username. if people can't google what your watermark says and find ur account its not a good watermark #it needs to be central in the image - NOT on the canvas edges - and put it in multiple places if you are compelled #please dont stop posting your art because of this shit. we just have to hope regulations will come slamming down on these shitheads#in the next year or two and you want to have accounts to come back to. the world Needs real art #if we all leave that just makes more room for these scam artists to fill in with their soulless recycled garbage #improvise adapt overcome. it sucks but it is what it is for the moment. safeguard yourself as best you can without making #years of art from thousands of artists lost media. the digital world and art is too temporary to hastily click a Delete button out of spite

[raininggalaxyz]

I gotta say, i hate the new update. When i swipe up i want it to take me out of the image not bring me to a random ass other one that isnt even on my feed. Ugh.
