oo - the one that started at 19:05 and is still showing at 19:24 ... that looks good! Unless it's just that the widget hasn't updated 😁

Thanks for checking.
I set another reminder just in case. I'll let you know in an hour if the widget shows it correctly

Auto updates have always worked since they were introduced. There is a default threshold set for updates (2+ weeks?) before an app is automatically updating on your device (over night with phone plugged into power outlets). Developers can override and extend that, they can also stagger updates based on audience / region.

People keep saying it‘s broken when it isn‘t. No, auto-updates are not meant to run every night for every app.
That feels kind of broken, irregardless of grammar/semantics. :)

If Apple takes about a week to approve an update and then it doesn't get pushed me to me for 2+ weeks, that is a long time to be behind on my version.

But it seems to be working faster now if nothing else. They have seemingly rejiggered the threshold and re-emphasized timely updates. I normally do a pull to refresh and mass update every morning before I leave the house, but Word, Excel, and PowerPoint updated last night without any prompt needed on my end. And I had just updated Audible manually over the weekend, so there was no other updates available for me prior to Sunday evening.

I’ve set one for an event to start at 19:45 and end at 23:45. I’ll keep an eye on it and let you know if it disappears before the end time.

Ah, it's calendar events rather than reminders that I'd like to stay visible.

I don't have reminders showing in my calendar, as I don't use the reminders app for timed things. However, I'm curious now whether they stay visible all the time until you dismiss it. I'm going to check what iOS 18 does!

Wow. Saying "iOS 18" makes it seem so old - like something from 2018 😁

Maybe it could be a setting? I work 13.33 hour shifts and I prefer that calendar event disappear after 15 minutes because, well, I don’t need to be reminded all day that I’m there.

Makes sense for shorter events though.

I like it for social events or workshops, for example, where I may not want/need to be there at the beginning, but don't want my widget to be blank, as I'll probably forget the event exists!

Calendar 366 has a toggle on each widget "Show started events" so they do realise that not everyone is like me 😁. Actually, I assume most people don't want this feature as I don't see anyone else complain about it.

I agree. All the visual stuff does not contribute anything and just adds dead weight to the CPU and GPU. Maybe they need to make iphone 26 looking faster than the 16…
Agreed. This is ultimate the issue with it… it adds zero to usability. And, currently at least, makes things harder to read in many situations.

The liquid glass thing isn’t even consistent. In same cases, the animation is like a moving a piece of glass over the options options underneath… in others it’s like you drag the options left and right, and it’s the piece of glass that doesn’t move…

I disagree. Liquid glass as a material is for navigational elements basically, it morphs between back buttons, selectors, side bars, menus, search bar etc, anything to allows you to to manipulate the content which sits on a plane beneath it. It's transparent to allow it visually to sit on top of the content plane. As a concept I think it works quite well actually.

EDIT: Ah, it has no end-time! I guess it's a reminder rather than an event. I don't use reminders with date/time but it's good to know that if I change my workflow they do stay visible.
I only use events, the end is set to 5 minutes after midnight

Oh! I guess it's a bug then, as if you'd set it to end 5 minutes *before* midnight it would have probably shown as "19:05 - 23:55" (instead of just "19:05" and being listed twice) and disappeared from view at 19:20.

That's a *good* bug!
 
The interesting thing is that iPadOS 26's multitasking windowing system is fully supported on iPad 11, but the previous iPadOS 18 Stage Manager is not.
 
Anyone come across this yet? Iphone SE2022.
Same applies to ipad except you dont get the error message.

The automatic deletion of downloaded podcast episodes after 24 hrs does work again with this first beta :)
Got broken for me somewhere with 18.4 and 18.5.
