minus-square@BorgDronelink4•3 hours agoAs an iOS user the Android share icon makes no sense. How does that icon represent sharing? The iOS one is much clearer.
minus-square@grrgyle@slrpnk.netlinkfedilink11•1 hour agoIt’s actually not Android specific, but even then they all make about the same sense to me (which is not a tonne)
minus-square@otp@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilink1•23 minutes agoHuh. The Apple one is new to me. It looks like an “upload” icon, which I guess makes sense. The Android one looks like something being spread/copied from one point to two other points. Which also makes sense.
minus-square@unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilink15•3 hours agoIcons generally dont have to make sense. The universal save icon being a floppy disk is a good example. It just needs to be recognizable.
minus-square@Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilink12•edit-23 hours agoI think it’s meant to show how one becomes two. One person shares… something, and then that something has doubled. I’m just used to it by now. Never really had to give it thought.
