A lot of this works on the basis of intuition and I think that's pretty okay for shortcuts. It becomes more problematic when it's an essential path, but then again right-click-abilityis also undiscoverable.
It's a totally intuitive thing, but after a few years of using something you stop trying to intuit as much and are just doing the things you know work.
True.
It works on my Android 8 device.
Are you saying you don't have a down arrow below the icon? I might be wrong as I said initially, I thought they removed the dropdown in 9 but might've been 8?
I do have a down arrow, which takes me to a sub-panel listing the devices, but also I can long press on the icon to go to the full list.
Personally I think the down arrow is way too small for me to press so I always just long press the icon anyway.
Ok then my memory was correct about the versions at least. Long-press or not, the arrow is still a great indication that there's an action besides a single click - wish everyone implemented something of the like.
Just wish both had some kind of UI indicator that there's a long-press action available... it's not like people are reading mobile phone manuals nowadays, even if they existed.
