Ive been using iOS 13 and am not liking the haptic touch enhancements like...

1. Now to delete an app from homescreen I have to choose from a menu and then click the X to delete. Inside the menu I usually see "share this app," which for me holds no value.

2. The worst is haptic touch in Safari. While scrolling now Im constantly tapping a link and opening a maddening preview window. Terrible... anyone know how to turn that off?

If you keep your finger on the icon a little bit longer after the menu shows up then it will start shaking and you can delete it. No need to use the menu.
Yes: when the preview shows up you can turn it off from the menu that comes alongside it.
Thanks and unfortunately I still see a preview menu just not the full preview window.

I don't want to scroll while browsing and have any windows appear unless I click a specified link. With this addition each link I scroll and mistakenly grab brings up this annoying preview menu.

I don't get it ... is this addition helpful to others? Anyone else extremely annoyed by it?

I'm not really a fan of the new presentation, but that's mostly because it animates in a really annoying, bubbly way :/
