iPhone app UI: Read Aloud button is too easy to tap by mistake

ChatGPT Feature requests

On the iPhone app, the “Read Aloud” button is placed directly next to the “Copy” button.

I frequently copy text for work, and I often accidentally tap “Read Aloud” instead of “Copy”.

This is especially frustrating in public places, on trains, or at work because audio playback starts unexpectedly.

I found similar complaints from other users on Reddit, so this does not appear to be an isolated issue.

Possible improvements:

  • Allow users to hide the Read Aloud button

  • Allow customization of the action buttons

  • Move Read Aloud into the “…” menu

  • Add an option to disable Read Aloud completely

The current placement makes accidental activation too common for users who frequently use the Copy function.

Thank you for considering this feedback.

Hey @drftnky, I agree - that’s annoying.

Before I surface this to the engineering team, could you share which iPhone model and app version you're using?
