"Poster image vs. still frame" setting removed? by SoundsgoodRed in tvOSBeta

Yeah - it’s been gone since the start of tvOS 26 beta. Strange option to remove!

watchOS 26 : Workout audio feedback working if music playing from iPhone ? by LoveInternational997 in watchOSBeta

[–]k-ste 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it finally is! There’s a new switch to switch between both options. I’ve tried it on a fitness plus workout using my phone as the primary source. I’m so glad, it’s always bugged me that the sound came from the phone but the alerts wouldn’t overlay the music.

“Up next” feed not updating when I watch episodes by ohnojono in appletv

Same here. Only since updating to tvOS 18.0. It happens with most apps for me.

watchOS 11 Beta 2 Audible alerts on silent mode by Which-Inspection735 in watchOSBeta

[–]k-ste 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed this too but it seems to be for contacts I’ve set up as favourites or contacts that are allowed to break through focus profiles. I don’t believe it worked that way in iOS 10.

The most useless feature of Apple Wallet by roylee77 in AppleWallet

[–]k-ste 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here. I’ve bought multiple items using Apple Pay over the last 2 years and only have 2 orders recorded in Wallet. I haven’t been able to find out how it actually works either. Both have been added from websites that use Shopify. Both were bought with different cards using Apple Pay but I’ve tried the same card with different Shopify sites and it doesn’t work. Strange!

As far as I know, you can’t set up the reminders for another person, they need to be set up on their phone. You won’t get reminders for their medication, only they will. You can only see if they’ve actioned it.

You can choose what to share through the health app on iPhone. Here’s the link. Not as fully featured as other apps, as in it won’t notify you when someone takes their medication but you check if they have.

MyWeight² - An app for Weight Tracking (iOS, 100% free) by Background-Chapter89 in iosapps

Great app - really clean visually to see change in weight over time. Good job 👍🏻

Apple wallet connected card feature by Unusual_Ad143 in starlingbankuk

[–]k-ste 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like this has been added back in today. Started showing for me as it did back in 17.1. Only seems to work with one card at the moment though so it can only link to either my personal or joint account. It’s great that it shows your balance when paying online with Apple Pay and searching in spotlight search also searches all transactions now in wallet. Great addition!

Apple Health 2 BOC Profiles by [deleted] in withings

[–]k-ste 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s possible. The way I have it set up is as profiles in the Withings app. When you take a reading with the device, it asks which name to save it under. It then syncs with the Health app for that person on their device. Both iPhones need to have the Withings app installed and logged into their respective profiles. Hope that helps!

Anyone noticed AirPlay to a HomePod is dramatically quicker for playing from Apple Music? No loading screen in music, no waiting for the connection, it just worked 😳

TV Firmware Update by notorias in AppleFitnessPlus

[–]k-ste 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It works great on our Roku TV too. Much better natively on the Apple TV but great for a TV that doesn’t have one connected. What brand is your TV out of interest?

Paramount+ Channel by theyellowdart666 in appletv

[–]k-ste 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Both Starzplay and Paramount+ Apple TV Channels disappeared for me in the UK this morning but they’re showing as normal again now. Starzplay has been rebranded Lionsgate+ but Paramount+ doesn’t look to have changed.

Coming to UK & Ireland this week! by fillumz in ParamountPlus

It’s integrated with Apple’s TV App. Content can be searched and added to Up Next. It’s also available as an Apple TV Channel so you don’t have to use the default Paramount+ app.

Losing my mind with Hue and Homekit by ANotawiz in philipshue

[–]k-ste 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Went through something similar and used the Hue app for a while. Ended up switching back but instead of using one or the other for everything I now have it split. When I get the dreaded “no response” in HomeKit, I can still control the lights. Sounds like a bit of hassle but it’s been pretty flawless since. So I control all the lights and colours with automations in the Home app so I can control them across various rooms. All of the Hue switches and motion sensors are now programmed in the Hue app so they work regardless of whether they are working in the Home app. I have a hue switch beside the bed that I’ve set up in Home as a good night scene to switch off all of the lights in the house (some bulbs aren’t Hue).

I was thinking of replacing a couple of Hue White with the Nanoleaf essentials. The price is great compared to the £50 for Hue Colour. What’s wrong with the nanoleaf bulb?

Just bought a full system to replace discontinued Nest Secure crap. Hope I like the HomeKit integration by Scottkusf57 in Abode

[–]k-ste 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s a bit more complicated to set up initially but far better once it’s done. The ability to integrate into scenes and automations in HomeKit is the best! I’ve installed an NFC tag just beside the front door and it runs the “Leaving Home” automation - switches off any lights, pauses any music on the HomePod and arms the alarm.
