Great. Just wondering if all of the Loved&Favourited songs will be automatically added to that new Playlist, would be kind of dope. But I assume that won't happen :rolleyes:
 
I assumed that button could be used to quick bring up Reminders. Nope! I wonder why not. It would make that button actually useful.
Can't you bind it to a shortcut that opens Reminders? Genuinely asking as I don't have an iPhone 15 Pro

I've had a "starred" smart playlist in Apple Music for quite a while now. I don't think you can set it up on the phone, but it's pretty easy to do it on a Mac -- and then it syncs over to the iOS version. On my phone, I set this playlist up to stay downloaded, so starring something on my phone or Mac basically pins it to my phone for offline listening.

There are actually still a lot of Smart Playlist options in the Mac version of Music, which is a feature that fortunately got carried forward from iTunes.

I’ve never understood why Apple hid the rating stars for songs and forwarded the “favorites” model. I understand that it is simpler, but it is so simple that it becomes useless for me.

Smart Playlists are hobbled because, amongst other reasons, they refuse to synch play counts between iOS and MacOS devices.

I use star ratings and agree. I’m glad it still exists but it’s baffling that Apple basically hid it.

Love how 20% of these points was just the Journal App
1. You can open the journal app
2. You can open individual entries in the journal app
3. You can read daily entries in the journal app
4. You can type text into the journal app
5. You can add emojis to the journal app
6. You can read the journal app while sitting down
7. You can now read the journal app while at a WNBA game (stunning and brave)

OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH! There were so many points in this article that I didn't know what I could do with the journal app! You're a life saver!
 
I strongly recommend that everyone turn off the emergency alerts. They are pointless security theater of a kind with "active shooter drills" and "duck and cover" nonsense.

Amber alerts do more harm than good by creating floods of bogus "tips" that the authorities have to sift through. If you're an a predictable disaster zone (like a hurricane is approaching), then you'll have every opportunity to be warned in advance in other ways, and if you're affected by an immediate disaster (like an earthquake), then the same thing essentially applies after the fact, if your phone and the cellular networks are even operable.
100 percent false. If you don’t know the actual statistics, don’t spout info without a disclaimer like “My gut tells me…”

Here's one thing iOS 17.2 can't do, that I love using jtx board on Android for: Sync my journal via CalDAV and vjournal
