Dudes, got an iPhone recently. Previously had a note 3, and I find the way whatsapp message notifications are organised to be slightly annoying. I get quite a few messages from different groups and these notifications are not grouped. The android app was courteous enough to say "x number of messages received" when multiple texts would come in quick succession. Whereas now it gives me each fucking individual message. Immediately clogging up my notifications.

Looked into settings but nothing jumped out at me.

I believe the only system notification options are grouping by time received or application, iOS won't minimise notifications from the same app together. Honestly, while I prefer iOS, Android notifications as are far superior.

Some apps are seriously still using custom share sheets instead of the built-in one.

Is there any way to stop the Music app from
Replacing my own Album covers with other when I activate Apple Music?

I think if you have iTunes Match it takes precedence, but otherwise I don't think there is.

What's the best image hosting app? I'm usually use imgur but is there a much better option?

Ever since minus went batshit insane I just stick to imgur. I just wish there was an OS X menubar app that lets you log in to an account and drag and drop.

It'll be interesting to see what Apple adds to the next iOS and OS X versions. Even iOS is starting to reach the point where it's a pretty mature OS for our existing iPhone uses, and given that iOS 10 should be "feature" release, I'm curious to see what they'll add.

I have a feeling this WWDC might focus a lot on fleshing out the OSes for all their new devices (iPad Pro, AppleTV, and Apple Watch), and continuing to facilitate a "write once" platform.

I'm also curious to see how much iOS 9.2 will improve performance and stability, as, by the iOS 9.2 release, they should have had time to incorporate fixes for most of the bugs and feedback submitted with the iOS 9 betas.

 

[infiniteloop]

9.2 is out.

Nice. Is there a full list of 9.2 improvements? I seem to recall some nice additions/tweaks for Apple Music.

 

[Jo Shishido's Cheeks]

Safari freezes and eventually crashes when I open a new private tab using 3D touch, really hope that's fixed.

It's fixed!
Settings too no longer jump halfway down the page on opening.
News is quicker, Top Stories is a nice addition.
3D Touch in iBooks works well.
They still haven't added Nearby Places back in for the UK which is a shame...
Purify initially stopped blocking adds but a couple of refreshes seems to have fixed it.

 

[kaskade]

Wow, I didn't realize how laggy browsing through open apps was until this update. It's so smooth.

 

[kharma45]

Yeah this is much better on my Mini 2. Still not buttery smooth pulling up the multitasking pane but a hell of an improvement over what it was.

 

[Got the Shakes]

Has anyone been able to update from the from the 9.2 beta to the public release of 9.2? I deleted the beta profile and it still says I'm up to date.

How do you do that? I want to do that on my ipad.

I think it's in settings>general. Scroll down and you should see a list of profiles installed, tap on the beta one and it should give you the option to delete.

Really annoying as if the constant reminder that I could install Keynote wasn't enough.
Yes I know about about keynote, no I don't actually need it on my phone, thanks for asking me every other day though, I might have changed my mind and not found the app myself.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Has anyone the problem, that Apps ask more than once for permission to access the multiple things like camera, gps, etc? Its fucking annoying.

When viewing a picture in the Photos app, how can I move it to another album? I can select one or several pictures in the grid view and tap "Add", but what if I'm viewing a specific picture? There's the Edit button, the Share button, the Heart button and the Trash button. I can't find a Move/Add action in the share sheet.

Do this:
Albums > All Photos > Select > Add to... > (choose album)

(you can add a photo to multiple albums by repeating this process)


You can also remove from an album in a similar way:
Albums > Album Name > Select > Trash > Remove From Album

(photo will be removed from the selected album, but will stay in "All Photos" - your Photo Library)

That's what I was referring to in my post. But there doesn't seem to be a way to add a photo to an album after opening the photo in fullscreen by tapping it. Which is kind of a weird oversight, I think. I'm talking about this view (not my picture):

 

[mrklaw]

are US itunes TV show purchases IP locked to the US? I want to watch Manhattan but it isn't on the UK itunes store (or other digital stores) I assume because it hasn't been broadcast here?

The only other alternative would be importing the bluray and ripping it which is probably more expensive.

Anyone else having issue where the badge icon notification (little number in a red circle) on the Messages app isn't appearing anymore, even when you have unread texts?

Apple Names Jeff Williams Chief Operating Officer, Phil Schiller Adds App Store Responsibilities

Apple Names Jeff Williams Chief Operating Officer, Phil Schiller Adds App Store Responsibilities

Good news, hope Schiller can right the ship. what i posted in the iOS games thread:

Slightly on topic, but Apple marketing chief Phil Schiller is taking over App Store leadership across all Apple platforms. Previously, this was under Eddy Cue, VP of Internet Software and Services, (included iTunes Store, the App Store, iBooks Store, Apple Pay, Siri, Maps, iAd, iCloud services, and Apple’s productivity and creativity apps).

Schiller has been responsible for developer relations for awhile and does a good job, imo (see his appearance at The Talk Show Live at WWDC this year).

I hope what this means is a bigger focus from Apple on working with App Store devs and making them happy, as well as better discoverability and features across the stores.

Hopefully, we see something from this at WWDC next June.

 

[Ambitious]

Good news, hope Schiller can right the ship. what i posted in the iOS games thread:

It can't get much worse, I guess.

 

[JonathanNemo]

It can't get much worse, I guess.

It could be like Jony Ive taking over iOS design. Significant changes made in a very short span of time, not necessarily going to please everybody.

Phil Schiller's the executive who usually handles questions about App Store approval process. I remember as far back as 2009 there were tons of stories about how he'd personally approve apps awaiting review, back when the review process was especially painful.

At least it's nice to get some acknowledgement that the App Store needs a change. I'm not expecting miracles, though. The Apple App Store model and its imitators seem to be fairing poorly outside of the F2P domain.

The only store I can think of that's doing well is the Steam marketplace. It could be a coincidence, but that one actually has competition.

 

[Vyer]

Amazon video update, PiP finally working for me. So yay

It can't get much worse, I guess.

In the various app stores landscape, it's pretty obvious it can.

 

[FerranMG]

I've been thinking for quite some time that the AppStore needs a major overhaul.
The market requires it.
I hope by the time iOS 10 (or 11) land, we have, at least:
- More options to deliver game updates (eg, paid updates). I love when a developer delivers a cool update for free, but then there's times when the devs want to deliver a paid update, and they're forced to do weird stuff to do so (eg, Tapbots with Tweetbot).
- Expanded review system. I hope reviews become more interactive, and that devs have a way to reply to them.

Hello again, true believers! As we continue our journey towards 1Password 6.2 we wanted to take a small detour and push out version 6.1.2 to address some of the larger pain points you've made us aware of via the forums. Thanks again, and as always, stay smart, stay shiny, and stay secure.

TL;DR
- With this update 1Password for iOS now supports the new 1Password for Teams encryption algorithm.
- This version contains a potential fix for the slow launch/slow unlock issues some of you have been seeing.
- The Demo vault is no longer included in All Vaults (unless you explicitly tell it to be).
- The tab bar icons for Favorites, Categories, Organize, and Settings have all had their constrast boosted to be easier on the eyes.

== What’s New in 1Password 6.1, The Unity Edition ==

It’s time to let you in on a secret. For months, everyone at AgileBits has been hard at work on an incredible new addition to the 1Password family: 1Password for Teams. With 1Password for Teams, everyone gets the simple, convenient security of 1Password, and you get the tools you need to control and manage access to your most important information. Visit teams.1password.com to learn more about our awesome new product.

Not only have we baked 1Password for Teams right into the very core of 1Password for iOS, we’ve also added features that bring some new shiny to the app you’ve come to love and trust! 1Password 6.1 gives you the ability to view all of your items across vaults and introduces support for 1Password for Teams. Keeping everything and everyone together has never been so easy!

== TL;DR ==
- An "All Vaults" view so you can get to any of your items, no matter which vault they’re in.
- Support for 1Password for Teams accounts.
- Little improvements here and there to show you just how much we care.

== All Vaults ==
When you have more than one vault, it can be really easy to forget where you’ve saved what, which can make it a bit complicated to find the item you're looking for. Now, you can view and search all of your items in all of your vaults by using All Vaults. But what if the whole reason you created a separate vault was to keep its items out of your way? No problem! If you don't want to include absolutely everything, go to Settings > Vaults > All Vaults and switch off the vaults you don't want to include. And would you look at how pretty that new All Vaults icon is?! I feel like a unicorn just looking at it.

== 1Password for Teams ==
If you've already scored a new 1Password for Teams account, you'll need a way to view those vaults on your pocket computers! To add a new account or manage an existing one, go to Settings > 1Password for Teams. Welcome and enjoy!

== A Care Package, from Us to You ==
From new and improved translations to better performance for humungo vaults, we sweat the details so you don't have to!

== We Love You ==
We value your workflow too much to prompt you for a review. If you feel generous or have a couple of minutes, please take some time to leave a rating and review on the App Store. It makes a huge difference to us. Thank you so very much.

We love hearing from you! Get in touch with us at discussions.agilebits.com, @1Password on Twitter, and facebook.com/1Password.

Changelog:
EVERY MONTH WE RELEASE A NEW UPDATE. WE'LL HIGHLIGHT NEW FEATURES IN THE APP.

 

[JDeluis]

So I'm thinking of updating my iPad 3 from iOS 6 to 9, due the fact that many apps for my son only have a requirement of iOS 7 or newer and never had a version for iOS 6 available. The iPad belongs to my son now. The app I really want is YouTube kids.

So should I do it? Will it really slow it down too much?

 

[gingerbeardman]

It will slow it down. Maybe the performance will be enough for just that YouTube app. General navigation is much slower.

I don't know whether or not you can go to an intermediate iOS version?

Might be time to sell it on and invest in an upgrade?

 

[Red]

Am I losing it? Has Siri suggestions always displayed 6 apps?

 

[gingerbeardman]

What device?

My iPhone 6 had four across and the search field spans the full screen width.

 

[Red]

6s+

 

[Majine]

The "Nearby" row in Spotlight breafly appeared on my iPhone the other day. it was fully functioning and all.

Now it's gone again. Apple giveth, Apple taketh.

 

[The Real Abed]

Hopefully that means Apple's willing to let the + show more on screen at once in some places. Maybe the next step is folders with more than 9 icons on iPhones. Or a 5th row on the home screen... nah. That won't happen.

 

[Ambitious]

Well, I finally created a Trakt account. Of course, the first thing I did was test synchronization with iShows. I don't even feel like elaborating, so let's just say it's a hot mess.
My biggest problem is that shows added in Trakt will not show up in iShows; it only works the other way around.

 

[Deku Tree]

Hopefully that means Apple's willing to let the + show more on screen at once in some places. Maybe the next step is folders with more than 9 icons on iPhones. Or a 5th row on the home screen... nah. That won't happen.

I was really surprised that the iPad Pro only has four rows. Seems nuts.
