No More Writing Stories on My Phone App

Summary

A user expresses a desire for the return of the story editing and creation features on Medium's phone and iPad app, citing the convenience of mobility, ease of media integration, and the utility of speech-to-text functionality.

Abstract

The web content is a direct appeal to Medium from a user who misses the functionality of writing and editing stories directly on the Medium mobile app. The user emphasizes the importance of being able to quickly capture ideas on the go, as mobile devices are constantly at hand. The absence of these features on the phone and iPad app has disrupted the user's writing process, which previously benefited from the ability to easily insert images stored on the device and utilize speech-to-text for dictation. The user, identifying as a writer, represents a broader community of writers who are similarly affected by the change. The content concludes with an update that Medium has reinstated the story writing feature on the phone app, to which the user expresses gratitude.

Opinions

The author values the convenience of writing on mobile devices due to their constant presence.
The inability to edit or create stories on the Medium phone and iPad app is seen as a significant inconvenience.
Integrating media directly from the mobile device is preferred over transferring it to a laptop.
The speech-to-text feature is highly regarded by many writers for its efficiency in converting spoken words to written text.
The author is not alone in their sentiments, suggesting a collective impact on the writing community.
The author acknowledges Medium's responsiveness to user feedback by noting the restoration of the story writing feature.

Mobility

Well a lot of us carry our mobile devices everywhere — literally everywhere.

Regardless of where we are, when the imagination used to strike, we had the medium app near!

We were just able to grab our mobile device and put our thoughts together. We may be finishing the final product later, but drafting the thoughts on the mobile devices is just something I truly miss.

Speech to Text

I don’t use it as much, but I know a lot of writers loved their phone’s speech to text feature to write their stories on their mobile devices instead of typing out their long works. With the mobile app no longer allowing the editing/creating the stories, a lot of these writers are also affected.

Thanks
