“Use a PC” is not a good workaround. This is a small essential feature that should work on any supported device.
this is not a duplicate i checked the directory

On mobile devices, dragging the handle on the corner of a list causes the list the move around. This makes it impossible to resize lists on mobile.
My suggestion is that the functionality is changed so mobile devices have the same behavior as PCs, where dragging the handle changes the list size.

Well, mobiles are pretty hard to use for Scratch . Try doing it on a laptop?

Here's a workaround: don't use mobile. Doing anything on Scratch mobile is a bad idea. Just look at the mobile forums.

I can do it on a laptop, but Scratch is supposed to be (fully) compatible with tablets.
I don't have a laptop or other PC available a lot of the time, it's much more convinient to use my iPad.

Why would they make the blocks very big so you can use mobiles just to deny compatibility in other parts?

You actually can resize lists on mobile, it's just that the area you need to drag is so small it's near impossible to do with helpless, fleshy, bony things tapping a glass screen. I don't think it would hurt to make the area larger, though.

There does seem to be a hitbox for something if I zoom in, however, dragging does not do anything on it. (It doesn't even move the list)

Fine. Begrudging support to accommodate the loud minority of mobile users, because mobile users shouldn't exist and resizing lists is an essential part of Scratch that mobile users deserve to miss out on.

(I don't hate mobile users btw I'm just joking)

scratch isn't really meant for use on mobile, however many use scratch for mobile…. just because of the design of scratch, it's mobile or it's not mobile theres no middle ground that solves it all

Using Scratch on mobile isn't something you should do, and I can't name someone that would be stupid enough to use mobile to code.

I'd be fine with making it larger, but is there really a point?

Your sarcasm is not neccessary. Making projects on mobile is (mostly) easy and very convenient, and is something I've done for the last 3 years.

Oh course there's a point. More people use mobile than you would expect, especially considering there's an entire mobile app for it now.

Scratch should improve its mobile experience a lot.

True! There's so many problems. Hopefully if each is focused on one at a time the mobile experience can be on par with desktop.

Bump?

Bump^2

100% Support! This is an example of how mobile Scratchers ALWAYS get the short end of the stick, ALWAYS.

This and many other features should be accessible by mobile users!

Have you tried it before?

Support. Even code comments get a better hitbox.

Bump. This glitching makes it extremely difficult to add features to my projects.

I’ve been trying to do this as well! every time i try this on mobile (because i don’t have a computer) when i click ANYWHERE on that list to resize it, all i get is dragging the list across the screen. help pls

I don’t have a computer. and what about the other guys who always work on their ipads

Why is on android if one of the features does not work
Scratch needs to fix this and also the buttons on mobile are so small

Not only does it not resize the list, when moving lists, there is a smaller screen hitbox that prevents me from allowing the bottom edge of the list touch the bottom of the project screen and the right edge of the list to the right edge of the project screen. Because of this, I had to mirror image my project thumbnail.

This would be useful for people on mobile with smaller screens and don't have access to a computer.

Don’t you have to buy one?

Wait… Maybe it could be that fullscreen mode that is entered from editor mode acts like the editor mode screen, so you can change variable displays, drag sprites around, and rescale lists.

bump and support, using my school computer gets really laggy

Your post is unrelated. We are discussing about MOBILE support for list rescaling.

bump my ipad hates me

my iPad that is older than me works better than my computer, so I use my iPad. but having to resize a list is such a rare occurrence, so no support.

Ah yes, don't fix a big bug because you in particular don't use the feature often. Makes total sense.

try zooooooooooooooming a lot and drag

it doesn't even resize. it just moves around


anyways support since i may want to resize lists (i almost always use an ipad)

You can't actually resize lists on mobile. Styluses, which have very small touch points, they don't let you resize them either.

Excuse me, some of us don't have a choice. The OP literally said, don't say “Use a PC”.

Ok, what the heck man. Why the heck would you say that? Some of us don't have a choice.

Ok, back on topic. I support this, bieng a very active mobile user, it would make some stuff a ton easier.

Note: guys, just stop bullying mobile users just cause we have less. Some of us get by quite well.

Oh, alright.

Bump.
Support bc this would make scratch easier (I’m a mobile user myself.)

Bump-ity Bump-ity Bump Bump Bump

I prefer coding on mobile than pc, I found it really comfortable, so I have this problem too, Support.

Well I’m sorry some people don’t have computers

I didn’t get one till I was 9
That is NOT a workaround
And it’s not a bad idea and it’s not very hard.the only hard thing is managing tabs and pressing stuff (ON THE FORUMS) and even that’s not that hard if you use the right hand and it’s not shaky.only slightly hard sometimes.

Don’t act like everyone has a computer or wants to use one.I prefer my iPad over a computer.it’s a lot easier and you don’t have to push down.on a mouse-pad-thing- I forgot the name of.

And I use standard forums.it’s not that hard and it’s not stupid.

Idk when people say use a computer it’s just annoying

And yeah support.it makes it easier..

Yeahhhh
