Phone Posting Sucks
Hi fellow Hiveians,
Today I wanted to rant a little bit about how annoying it is to write posts on a phone!
Phone Posting Sucks
Alright let me get started by saying I know that it’s important to be respectful of people who don’t have any other option. I know that and I interact with people here all the time that don’t have easy access to something besides a smart phone. Now that we’ve got that out of the way..
Posting from a phone SUCKS lol. Recently the little man has gotten sick and that’s okay except it’s cut into my hive posting time on my laptop! I’m glued to the little fella right now, which is okay because he’s not feeling good and he’s a snuggle bug when he’s feeling under the weather. Eventually these days won’t happen any longer and he will lock himself in is room when he’s not feeling well. But in the meantime, he’s glued to me lol. I can’t get up and go into the other room to write out a few posts to keep things moving sadly. Phone posts it is I guess! Ah..
Posting from my phone isn’t that bad but I’m trying to use the hive keychain app exclusively because it’s far easier to just put in my pin there then have to copy and paste my keys into my browser and log in every so often. Hive signer has been being a pain in the ass in that it boots me out of being logged into PeakD every so often and then it forgets that information in my browser cookies.. the challenges in 2023, I know. Lol.
I don’t like putting my keys out there, who knows if someone would be able to figure out the info and get into my account, though thankfully with the recovery capabilities of Hive being top notch, there isn't much that someone could do without me reversing it in a few hours or day or so. We certainly don't want to be in that situation however, so caution is warranted!
I was able to start the post on my phone but thankfully finishing the post on my laptop, where it's much easier and more efficient for me to do so LOL.
One of the things that really was annoying me about writing the post on my phone was the damn Keychain app on mobile sucked at resizing the PeakD website! I literally couldn't see what the hell I was typing when I was in landscape mode, which I prefer to be in so that I can far easier type something. First world problems, and problems for 2023 for sure. Had you asked someone to write a blog post on a phone 10 years ago, they likely would've been more than happy to, in order to be one of the cool people doing something normally reserved for a computer, onto a phone. Boy how times have changed :D
I wasn't able to get the post finished on the night I was trying to write it but I was attempting to! Life pulled me away, as the little man wasn't feeling well and he is far more important than getting a post written lol so I put my phone down for the night to help make him feel better but it was definitely a trip down a lane I wasn't a big fan of, but was pursuing out of necessity. Necessity is the mother of innovation, that's for sure. I'm hoping to figure out an alternative way to write a post on my phone. Spitballing some ideas, I'll likely write the post in a notepad or some other type of app and then transpose it later, add some photos and be good. Come to think of it, that's likely what I should've done in the first place lol but when you're in the moment you sometimes don't think of the best options. I certainly didn't it seems!
I know there are a number of people here on Hive that use exclusively their phone to do all of the posting, writing and engagement. I feel for you! I know we do the best with which we have, and can definitely appreciate the struggles of phone posting. I hope we can all afford a laptop for which one day you can write posts easier, because having a laptop in the mix makes it a hundred times better!

I haven't had a computer since they looked like a/c units under the desk. This, that, everything else—phone.
Hahah you're a beast dude. One of a kind, I prefer my laptop! It’s pretty lightweight too which helps.
@cmplxty I'm a laptop person too. I have had to use my phone to work a few times, and I don't think the population was aware that destruction was pending 🤣
Yeah for sure! I love my laptop, I make due with my phone if I have to but it’s annoying lol. I’m rocking a phone that’s going on 6 years old baby! Fuck that, ain’t no stopping this thing. I’m hopefully not going to jinx it :D
Haha! I'm hoping not to jinx my phone either, because it's not even a year old yet, and I plan on keeping it for the rest of my life 😂
@dandays That's amazing! I'm a senior citizen using a mobile phone to type. I don't even send text messages unless it's an emergency... come to think of it, when my mobile buzzes, I know exactly who it is and what it is about. I carry a phone in case of emergency 😆
Senior whatizen? You look great for 35.
This response brought to you by the maker of iPhone 8. I know!! I not only do all of this with a phone, but a dinosaur one at that.
Haha! I wish I could go back to 35 😂
I was forced to buy a new phone last year. I got a Motorola because it has a good camera and the screen is big. However, my phone before that, which was relatively new to me, was a Vivo that I bought in the Philippines.
When I handed it to a vendor to change the cracked screen, he disrespected my phone saying "Oh, this phone looks like it has been around the world with you." 🤣
So an iPhone 8 sounds pretty modern and upscale to me 😆
I wish I could send you a screen shot of my screen. Depending who you ask, it's dangerous. = }
The bottom corners of my keyboard, when it's vertical so, the 123/abc button and the return button work intermittently. But if you tap'em just right like bump-bump with the palm of your hand they work again. Usually.
And the charge port stopped working a long time ago. I can only charge it with one of those pad things you set the phone on. But, the car has one in it—pad things. Haven't ran outta juice yet!
PS—I just typed all this with it. "Send."
PSS—Thanks @cmplxty, Milly and I got it from here. = }
🤣 Haha! You have it all figured out. I like that 😅
Ah, yes! My husband has an old iPhone and he uses a 3D-printed magnetic charger. I think that's amazing to have such technology, and not have to throw money away just because the charger has stopped.
Hehe, we've hijacked @cmplxty's post 😆
It’s an acceptable hijack! :D
🤣🙏
It’s all good, we’re the people in the party on the couch just hanging out shooting the shit while everyone else is getting hammered.
iPhone 7 for the win!
Pura shoots, she SCORES!
I can't focus on writing using my phone haha it literally sucks! The computer is always better for me
Yeah that’s for sure! I love using my computer. Much smoother for me!
FWIW, now that I have a decent phone that can handle it, Ecency works well as an app and is how I do it on phone. I prefer laptop too for the typing, but sometimes I don't want to transfer photos and use Ecency. 😂
I deleted the Ecency app a while ago lol. I do all of it on keychain now which isn’t the worst. Makes for a little bit of a tough time writing posts since the screen won’t resiE which is what prompted the post. Not the end of the world but not ideal lol
I hope the little man gets better soon. To be fair, doing anything from phone sucks. Maybe because I am not used to it. I am never a phone person, it's like I would rather have an ugly phone than living without a laptop 🤣.
Hahah yeah I prefer my laptop for sure! My phone is pretty old at this point but I don’t see a point in getting a new one these days. Just going to keep on going with this one!
The little man is feeling better, but he’s got a damn cough left over which sucks. He’ll hopefully ditch that soon!

STOPI feel you. Writing posts on a phone (especially long ones) suck so much. I was in this same spot when my laptop got bad and I realized how much of a privilege it is to type posts on an actual keyboard.
Yeah writing longer ones on a phone is brutal lol thankfully I try not to do that but I have had to recently once or twice. Better than nothing but not ideal!
Definitely true. It is still a lot better than not doing anything.
I love working on my mobile and I post all day and comment all day from my mobile sitting in my room. All these pictures looks so beautiful and amazing. I am big lover of natural beauty. Clouds looks so beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
You’re one of a kind then my friend! I know it’s convenient to post on mobile going anywhere but for me, I need a real keyboard! I’ve gotten better at using my phone for things like commenting. I do 90% of my comments on my phone so that’s not too bad.
Thanks! I love taking pictures like this and the funny thing is, I forget to post some of them lol
