Removal of single-finger swipe to select tasks on iOS
The removal of the original swipe-to-select feature in favor of a two-finger swipe has introduced significant friction. Users find the new method fiddly and difficult, specifically noting that it breaks one-handed operation on mobile devices.

Two finger swipe is super fiddly and breaks one hand operation, which is a massive step backwards
The two finger swipe is so much more difficult
I have to change my hand position on the phone to use it instead of one-thumbing it.
removing swipe to select tasks was a bad idea and revert it?
