Some loading indication when a content is still downloading

[Yehezkiel01]

Quite often I found myself tapping the play button 3 times consecutively when a content is still loading. I did not know that it's loading that I end up thinking it's a bug. It might then be necessary to give some indication of loading.

Another scenario is swiping.
Sometimes, I just can't swipe bcs we are still loading content, we might want to consider some loading bar

Hmm by right when the content is loading there is a loading bar. However, the loading bar cannot be 100% accurate (i.e. i can't know if an audio is actually loaded) due to issues with Safari on iOS. On iOS, you have to play the audio before it starts loading, and if i implement it in the other way in where i wait for an audio to fully load, nothing will load on iOS. There is also no way i can get the loading progress of an audio after i click play.

The swiping thing we cannot have a loading bar cuz there is no way i would know if there is any more content from the server before loading from the server. It is still possible to make some indicator but it would be very tedious considering our swiping feed so I'll look into it next time!

Okay, understand. I think the problems that I'm facing is only happening on my IPad, the android is not that much of an issues.

So, just to check again, on IOS, is that possible to have a rotating bar instead after we press the play button? It might not necessarily require a progress. If this is more of a technical limitation, then we should just leave this issue

Hmm i don't think a spinner is possible too but we can keep this open and I can see next time!
