Can anybody confirm -- if you want to send a picture to somebody, it looks like there are now recent contacts as quick buttons. Can you send the photo to multiple people at once on that screen?
Nope it doesn't look like. I tried it but I couldn't find a way to select multiple people from the new share sheet
 
Apple, when are you going to let us delete (not hide) purchases? I am adult and I can make my own decisions about what I do or don't want any longer. Stop babysitting me.

At least Amazon treats me like an adult.
 
Silence unknown callers. Yeeessss!

Yes this is really good. Unlike the article says though, it doesn't block unknown callers, it just sends them straight to voicemail without ringing (as I understand). So genuine callers can leave a message.

" If your call is important to us, please leave a message after the tone...'
 
There's also a Low Data Mode option that can be enabled for specific WiFi networks.

If i'm understanding this correctly, this will be useful when my phone's connected to my car's 4G Wifi hotspot to stop it auto-downloading updates. Anyone know how to access it though?

So will my ipad air 3 2019 have dobly atmos in built on ios or it is just for ipad pros ??

Yeah, I don't get this at all. Dolby Atmos involves speaker configuration, with either ceiling-mounted speakers or up-firing speakers that bounce sound of the ceiling in cinema/home cinema set ups. All I can see iPhones or iPads as being able to do is downmix Atmos soundtracks to play through their speakers, but then it won't be Atmos - in the same way you can have a device with one speaker play soundracks recorded in stereo, but they won't be playing in stereo. I guess it could just mean that if you hook up your iPad/iPhone to a Atmos sound system then it'll send an Atmos soundtrack to it, but I'd imagine most people with an Atmos home cinema set-up aren't going to be using their iPads/iPhones as their media source.
 
Also, do you need special headphones? How does it work ? Enquiring minds want to know!
I am asking twill it support it lol how can i know those things yu are asking

So if i have a speaker that have atmos then can i get the sound
 
I won't be able to decide whether or not to use Low Data Mode until there's an explanation of what it does.
I had specifically hoped to see a screenshot of the Wi-Fi "Low Data Mode" setting, vs the Cellular. This is a feature that Windows 10 has (and, iirc, older Windows versions too) that's really nice, and iOS already has albeit somewhat hidden (is used when communicating to a Personal Hotspot iDevice). Having had a Verizon JetPack, I watched my iPhone, iPad, and MBP burn through 5 GB in two weekends with pretty low data usage on my part; Verizon was less than worthless to help me figure out what was going on, but they credited me the 5GB of data "one time only". Unfortunately, the JetPack didn't use a nanoSIM, and Verizon wouldn't issue me a nanoSIM for it, but luckily I had a cutter and an adapter so I cut the SIM down and put it in my cellular iPad and used Personal Hotspot… BOOM! Similar app usage, but a HUGE difference in data usage. Shorter: hotspots are all but worthless without this feature; your Apple devices treat them as a broadband Wi-Fi network and will go balls out and eat up all your data allocation doing stupid things like iCloud Backups and checking mail every 2 minutes, and with the up-to-current iOS versions you have no recourse, unusable.

So yeah… I hope Apple got their heads out of nether regions and make this work like I hope it does: a toggle on any specific Wi-Fi network, like Android and Windows 10 provide that turns on whatever secret sauce throttling Apple is already using with Personal Hotspot.


Has anyone tested the auto hotspot feature that is being promised? It seems like it would be a nice feature for an iPad to auto connect to an iPhone's data connection if there is no Wi-Fi available.
This is another one of those "WTF?" things… for anyone who uses Personal Hotspot on an iPhone and an iPad, the need to continually reconnect is infuriating. Considering that Apple people must use their devices, I can only assume they greedily had decided to spitefully punish those who didn't pony up the extra cash for a cellular model if you wanted to use a Wi-Fi iPad outside the house. When I first got the ability to actually enable Personal Hotspot on my iPhone (thanks AT&T, you greedy turds), I actually called Apple under AppleCare and even the Tier 2 techs couldn't figure out why my iPad didn't auto-reconnect… until they went to Tier 3 who informed them it "worked as intended". Go figure. That was like 5 years ago.


I am surprised no one is really talking about Auto Personal Hotspot. Assuming someone has their cell phone on them, I don’t see a reason to get a cellular iPad.
This. And I own a cellular iPad and will only buy cellular iPads! Now all Apple needs to do, assuming all this works as we expect, is to stop with the BS greed and put GPS in the Wi-Fi iPad. I don't care if it takes longer to acquire sat-lock due to not having cellular assist. It is just stupid a device not knowing its Location in 2019. Doubly stupid that Personal Hotspot can't communicate location effectively too. (Android devices do both, have done so for years.) Personally, since the Qualcomm brouhaha is over, and FTC has hammered them on their FRAND licensing, I'm hoping the cost of the cellular option drops to the point where Apple just puts it in every iPad Air and iPad Pro model; it should certainly just be in every iPad Pro, it is a Pro feature whether pros realize they need it or not, at purchase time or later.


And, finally, count me as number 76,989 that thinks the Arcade vs Update button switch is counter to my needs. If you like Auto Update, great for you. I like Froot Loops and you might like Honey Nut Cheerios… fine, OK. But I don't like it, and I've been bitten one too many times by buggy apps. What Apple –should– do, IMHO, is enable the ability to download previous app versions, and don't let the developer control that. Between bugs and ads, I just don't have the tolerance anymore for not owning what I've bought. And it is 100% clear that Apple made this switch for money; to pump Arcade, in spite of whether the user has interest in their new offering (I don't, sorry, just don't game enough anymore), and to promote Auto Update, which is a bow to the devs.
 
Has there been any improvements or changes in the DND mode? For example, allowing text messages from certain contacts, more customization, etc.
 
Exactly. How is that different from games? I'll never use either tab, but I don't want to be tapping through that nest of menus to get to updates every day.

It is the same number of taps to get to updates under the new os, it just at the top of the screen.

wtf, its in a different place, oh my gosh, the horror!

People can't handle change, I've been dealing with you moved my cheese people for two weeks because of major rollout at work.
 
Rather than simply silencing unknown callers, why not let me block entire area codes and/or prefixes? My $50 Panasonic home phone had that capability years ago. I've been getting many junk calls from 202 area code lately.

I would also like the option to make the phone prompt for the pin before allowing a shut down, as a safeguard with the ability to track it in case the phone is lost.
 
I'm not keen on the idea of having to enter a pin (or any type of security) in order to shut the phone down, as the main reason I shut mine down at the moment (iOS13 beta) is because it's hanging/crashed and the only thing I can do is hold the power button and be glad that this always works.

Although giving this more thought ... as long as the hard-reset always works (and results in the phone rebooting) then I'm ok with the phone having to be unlocked in order to shut it down.
 
Removing the Updates tab is a huge mistake. Literally the most used tab for myself and most people. Wtf.

Thought what would make it bearable is if automatic updates actually worked. It doesn't.

If you leave an iPad plugged in for a couple of weeks and come back to it, none of the apps will have updated. Every time I open the App Store on my iPhone there's a bunch of app updates to install. I don't understand why it won't auto install as i've instructed, preferably overnight when it's charging.

I agree. On my iPhones it seems to works fine except for a couple times here and there. On my MacBook Pros and MacBook Air, auto-update works fine. On my iPads, forget about it, it rarely if ever works!

:apple:
 
Moving the Apps Update to another page is as annoying as Apple removing the Artist tab from Music App at the bottom.
