What do you mean Handoff for messages/Facetime? Does Handoff for any app work at all? Like is the app not showing on the doc or are your messages/calls not syncing?

Maybe just saying Handoff wasn't the right choice of wording there. More like I'm just not getting the code for Messages to work when I turn on Text Message Forwarding in the case of iMessage/SMS.
FaceTime's just got outgoing failed calls and won't bring in any incoming ones.
Other things work, like my iCloud tabs on Safari, Notes, etc.

Alright, so, both iMessage and FaceTime implementations are different than Handoff
As long as in the Messages section of the Settings app on your iPhone and the Messages app on your Mac are both signed into the same iCloud account, blue bubble iMessages should by synced automatically. Apple device to Apple device should work right out of the box. Text Message Forwarding handles the green bubble non-Apple SMS messages from other phones, and yes even I have had issues in the code being sent over. You can try signing out of Messages on both devices, deactivating iMessage, and signing back in that might kick it into gear.
FaceTime just requires that both devices be signed into the same account in the FaceTime section of the iPhone Settings app and the FaceTime app on your Mac. Again, signing out and in in those specific places definitely won't hurt.
Handoff is a different process than both those things, which takes care of other stuff
What's weird is not even my blue bubbles are coming through to Messages. At all. They haven't since the day I did that factory reset. I assumed it was because even the blue messages are being sent directly to my phone number, rather than to the iCloud address I have associated with Messages. ¯\_(ツ
_/¯ I'll just try this again in the morning. Appreciate the response, considering the hour. Thank you. ^^

When you sign in to iMessage on the phone it links your phone number with your iCloud account, so even if a blue bubble gets sent to your phone number it'll show up on all your devices on that account
Also you're very welcome. This is what I do.
They really need to add some sort of sync for Watch notifications. It's annoying to get notified while using the iPad and then getting tapped by the Watch seconds later because of the same notification. Of course I could turn off notifications on the iPad but why should I if I'm already using a device with superior ways to respond to it.
Shared clipboard is a thing, so why isn't "Notification device"?

Whatever's going on in iOS 11/watchOS 4/tvOS whatever version, Apple's done a better job of keeping a lid on it this year than they have for a while. Maybe whoever was talking to 9to5mac got caught and/or clammed up.
Even worse is SMS forwarding - read an SMS on one device and it doesn't count as being read on any of the others.

100% agree with this: https://medium.com/tall-west/lets-ditch-the-nav-bar-3692cb17cc67
My thumbs are so short that I can't physically reach the "ow" range on the iPhone 7 unless I shimmy my entire hand up the phone which can be quite precarious. I need to use both hands to optimally and comfortably use it.
Good article.
Good stuff, I really like the Safari redesign. Hope to see some of this in iOS 11.

That prospective Safari design is pretty excellent (though I've got major issues with iOS 10's Music.app with regard to discoverability and would likely have the same problems here).

Have you checked to make sure your phone number is still being used for iMessage and FaceTime? Sometimes it can get disassociated. Also as usual try signing out of both services and on all devices and then signing back in, first on the phone.What's weird is not even my blue bubbles are coming through to Messages. At all.

;-; It was linked, at least according to my Mac's Messages settings the AppleID was 100% associated with my phone number.
Yeah, in the settings for both the number is the main thing being sent from, and its checked off for receiving.

So, this is weird, but. Today I came in after work, opened up my MacBook, and Messages started going insane. A week's worth of text message forwarding codes suddenly showed up, and my messages were all syncing again. lmfao. Hit cancel for legitimately 5 minutes straight until all the codes were done, turned it on in my phone's settings, code showed up. FaceTime calls are working again. I didn't even do anything. Just sorted itself. Guess it was super backed up.
I'll just take the blessing, lol. \o/

When the hell is Gruber gonna start selling tickets to the live Talk Show this year? I wanna go!
The 30th may update? Works fine on my end.
Yep, app version 12.20. It will load then just go back to the home screen instantly.

Works fine on me on my 7 Plus. Delete and reinstall?
That worked. Thanks.

Speaking of iOS 11, I'm shocked we don't have more leaks/rumors about what changes it'll bring. Usually we've got a pretty good idea of what to expect with less than a week before the show, but this year, I've heard nothing.
As someone who likes the current navigation bar, I have to say they brought up very convincing points. I especially liked their Safari redesign. I just hope Apple doesn't put Bold fonts on top of nothing everywhere, like in the music app.
Since YouTubes mobile site removed the ability to play in the background a few weeks ago:
Here's an app that lets you run most html5 videos in Safari in PiP mode, including YouTube

Has anyone else been having trouble with Maps since he last update? It's having trouble pinpointing my location. It has a general idea of where I am, but it will be frozen in that spot for a while then finally "jump" to around where I'm at again and the process keeps repeating. Google Maps is having the same issue. Very annoying when I'm driving.
I had that issue and it turned out that the gps on my phone was broken. Needed to get it replaced.

If it's happening in two apps it's likely hardware...

Well damn. Guess I'll just deal with it until the new phones come out.

Even my small local 24 hour donut shop takes Apple Pay now

Hoping for an announcement this year, rumor has it it will finally launch in Q3/Q4. I wonder if a credit card is a fixed requirement for Apple Pay though; they are pretty rare around here, only ~6% of retail transactions are done via CC. Would be sweet if your bog standard ec worked as well.
Don't you just have to enter the PIN if you're over the limit?
Wasn't this just lifted?
Ec?
Debit cards work just as credit cards do for what it's worth. Just depends on your issuing bank supporting it.
News to me if that's the case! Every time I forget I just get told there's a £30 limit without an option to override. I'll try the next time I go in for petrol.

Oh shit thanks for the reminder
I think it was lifted. But the limit was the same for debit cards so it wasn't an extra block or anything
Ah yeah, I guess debit card is the overall name. Here's to hope my issuing bank will support it whenever Apple Pay launches then (it should, they are pretty good with their online banking and other services but you never know how they'll act when a third party comes into play - fees are apparently what's holding back the whole thing).

Comcast now lets you pay bills in the app with Apple Pay, so I can finally remove my card from my account.
Really cool, hope other companies follow!

Yes.
note to self: set up google authenticator on new device before resetting old one. Fuck. Oh well, at least lastpass is insecure enough to just let me disable two-factor by sending me an email link..
Switch to Authy. My sister got her iPhone replaced, restored from an encrypted iTunes backup and Google Authenticator was blank. That's some bullshit. So I switched everyone over to Authy and never looked back. Cloud backup, multiple device, passcode/Touch ID support. Google Authenticator ain't shit. It even has an Apple Watch app which is cool super handy.

Lots of places have no limit, Sainsbury's, Aldi, Lidl, most places you can eat out.
If the chip and pin device still says present or insert card on the screen and the transaction is over £30 it will work with Apple Pay.
1Password is great at this too, password manager and 2FA support in one (same standard as Google/Authy). Plus let's you see 2FA codes on your PCs also.
