Following the latest Bedrock update on iPad, the hotbar and HUD appear significantly smaller. While this may have been an intentional UI adjustment, the effective touch area for selecting hotbar items now feels too small for reliable input.
Steps to Reproduce:
Open Minecraft Bedrock on iPad
Load into any world
Attempt to quickly select items from the hotbar using touch
Since this change, selecting items consistently has become much harder on a touch screen. On a device like an iPad, where gameplay relies entirely on tapping, reducing the size of the hotbar significantly impacts usability.
I strongly believe this change should be reverted or adjusted as soon as possible. The previous hotbar size was much more practical for touch controls and felt properly scaled for a tablet display. If this change was intentional, please consider restoring the old size or adding a HUD scaling option so players can choose what works best for them.
This update has made normal gameplay noticeably more difficult, and reverting it would immediately improve the experience for touch players.
