I'm still a little confused about this data protection thing. Is it necessary to activate or should I leave it alone. I know it's enhanced security, but the stuff about it being hard to recover things if I lose my password gives me some pause.
Got a tip for us?

That does work. I don't have the news on my weather app because I deleted the news app.
I know to Apple "cross-platform" means iPhone, iPad, and Mac. But in this context that is kind of confusing. Considering it's a collaboration app, one could reasonably think that it is *actually* cross-platform.
These days more than ever when everything is so clearly based on iOS (including the Mac), I don't think it's great to continue to let Apple call things "cross-platform" when they just mean their own platforms.
Exactly my thoughts.
I've nothing that can run Ventura, and don't want to ruin the fun
So, it's so: dipped everything in the Update pool.
On Monty 12.6.1 I can control all my iot with the Home app
After the update to 12.6.2, I can *still* control my iot.
iPad 9, HomePod and AplTV are updated to 16.2 (AW6 updated to 9.xcurrent), with the iPhone still pending...
[edit]
Of course, I missed a step: "Home Upgrade Available" . . . which will cause issues, I can only presume.
I retract (
[edit #2]
After updating to the new Home soft, only the iPhone Mini, HomePod mini and the iPad9 can now access Home (maybe the applTV, but haven't tried).
I really only use the iPhone to control iot, so not really miffed.

Can confirm this works. I had already deleted News long ago and just opened Weather after updating. No news section at all, just the way I like it.
I wish it were so easy to make the TV app less user hostile.
I found that if you customize your Home Screen with photos, you can now show the photo in your photos app (you need to be in the edit mode). This will be great since I was thinking a bunch of photos used in the shuffle were not actually mine.
Thank you for confirming! This was my only concern with this update, and glad to know it won’t be an issue. I deleted the news app long ago.
i still want to check it when I’m ready, but not when I’m looking at the weather
Could it be a bad cable? I see that all the time with beat up cables.
Trigg
Triggering? I believe all other weather apps will track you and serve you unrelated ads. If not, there will most likely be a monthly fee. I would find weather-related news articles pertaining to the area I’m looking at to be helpful.
So far working well ion my 14 PM. Appreciate they finally added the no wallpaper option to always on display. I like it much better, to the point I'll probably leave it on now
16.2 also enable 5G in Malaysia ,

@decypher44 Might start with rebooting your device. Sometimes an update leaves a process in an unstable state until the next reboot.
If you don’t know, yet, it might be best to wait for now. Learn a little more about this and the different options for it and how recovery works. Later you can enable it if you think the risk of being compromised is work the risk of data loss.
No, I highly doubt it. I use it every day, and was using it in the morning before the update. Only after the update did it start having problems.
Waiting for advanced data protection to be rolled out to other countries. Changes to Always on Display are also welcome.
POSSIBLY this could be because some element in your charging setup doesn't provide the full voltage required or promised.
Obviously I have no idea about your system but I had the experience where Ikea charging disks, when plugged into a "baseline" charger (max 5W) would appear to charge an iPhone wirelessly but it would randomly connect and disconnect. (I'm not sure, "legally", who was at fault, Ikea for accepting the connection to a 5W charger, or Apple for accepting whatever Ikea claimed it could support. Regardless, when I switched to plugging Ikea into an Anker 30W USB-C charger, the problem went away.)
It may be that your system was right on the edge and with the update Apple is now being more aggressive about either what sort of voltage/current it accepts, or testing what it is given and rejecting if the values aren't what was promised.
If you want detailed watch sleeptracking, just get AutoSleep! You won't regret it!!!
Same here.
Shame it doesn't work for the Stocks app though, which I just deleted.
There was a previous thread that example showed up, which most us said we don’t like spoiling the weather app interface with marketing other Apple services. I have see any more examples for awhile. I hope that thought is banished from their marketing strategies.
But the whole fun of Airdrop was receiving a dick pic and then sending back a bigger one
