With this update, the setting from 'Tab Bar -> Long press action' is ignored. A long press on the account button no longer switches between the two most recent accounts, it only show account stats upon lifting the finger. Toggling the preference doesn't help either. Swiping up on the account button still works in bringing up a selection menu.
Otherwise, I thoroughly enjoy the new glass UI. Well done implementing.
I'm glad you like it :)
In iOS 26, there is a system-wide meaning to long pressing on the tab bar - it allows you to slide the selection bubble to a different tab. We decided to remove the long press gesture rather than override this system-wide behavior. We forgot to remove the setting associated with it, though; thanks for letting us know.
It would be nice to retain some way to switch to the most recent account quickly, though I'm not sure what the best way to do that would be ๐ค Open to ideas.
Some apps allow customizing the tab bar buttons themselves. I'd set mine to put settings and the profile-stats button in a submenu, and have a switch-to-next-account button in the middle.
