When a sticker tray hides the reply field

We still ask to hold the same phone a student uses in the lab, not the large set on a designer’s desk. In one companion app, a festive sticker tray opened at the same time as the keyboard and covered the reply field on a common 5.5-inch screen.

Hosts had read “low replies” as a mood. The sitting was awkward: we sat on the floor of the student union and typed with thumbs. Once the tray remembered its last height, newcomers’ first messages reappeared.

If your analytics sitting never includes the actual handset, you will invent a personality for a layout accident. Bring the cheap phone.
