All Devices Does anyone have problems with devices syncing with each other?

[Seanm87]

I have an Apple Watch, iPhone, iPad, MacBook and HomePod.

It would be lovely if they all synced properly together instead of when they feel like it. I get the following problems.

Calls on anything other than the phone often result in the other person not hearing me.
Reminders sometimes don't come through at all as a notification, I just get the notification badge
I listen to a podcast on my HomePod, I'll then go out and listen on my phone and its in a completely different place or at the start (this drives me mad!)
Messages seem to sync completely on some devices yet not at all on others.
Photos on iCloud seem to go on my phone and iPad but can take days to appear on my Mac

Just to name a few. Does anyone else have similar problems and did you manage to fix it?

I'm starting to understand why people complain about apples software being crap.

Yes.
What makes it worse is that it comes and goes.
Latest mess: AW4 and Pro Max. Activity just "went away" on my Pro Max. No data. No legacy data. Yet it shows that it is linked and active. All other apps are working.

Ongoing mess: Pro Max, rMB, IPP 11. Mail and Reminders just not syncing across all.

PITA.

Yep. It’s gotten worse over time after multiple device upgrades and resets.
Really aggravating; I’m feeling like Apple just doesn’t care.

Try getting your iPad and Iphone to connect via Bluetooth.

Good. *****. Luck
