Can anyone help me find what I consider to be a normal calculator mode?
In iOS 17 it added as you went, like an ordinary calculator, now it doesn't there is no continuous adding mode that I can find.
Am I missing something?
iPhone 12 mini
You can offer feedback to Apple at Feedback - iPhone - Apple
If enough people do, Apple may decide to change it back.
The old iOS 17 Calculator would add on the fly, so for example
tap 1 + 2.......tapping + again would display 3 and await the next number, ad infinitum.
Now I have to tap 1 + 2 = + 3 to get the same effect which is not like a normal calculator, and not like it worked on iOS17.
Further research suggests there is now no ordinary calculator mode (I'm already seeing other posts on Reddit on this subject), a shame really as it was very useful not having to carry a separate device.
Hopefully as more people realise the downgrade, Apple might revert to a proper calculator, or at least add a continuous mode back in.
Agree - driving me nuts when trying to get running subtotals in a bank account. Fortunately I also have PCalc Lite which operates like a normal calculator. What's wrong with Apple?? Give us back the old Calculator.
The calculator now shows your operations in the order you enter them, and when you tap on the = button, it will perform the operations in the traditional order. Parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction.
So if you have 65-10+3x15 for example, it will multiply 3x15 first to get 45, subtract 10 from 65 and add 45 to that for a result of 100.
Is that not what you expect?
You can always press the = sign after every operation to do it in specifically the order you enter them in.
65-10 = 55+3 = 58 x 15 = 870.
Dude - you didn't understand the original question. We're looking to get continuous subtotals in a string of additions/subtractions (like in a bank account). Very simple operation that the original Apple calculator or any manual calculator can do.
ios18 calculator - continuous mode?
