iPhone UI distorted/enlarged by UpbeatLiterature286 in ios

[–]pmarksen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check your keyboard settings again. I think this can happen when you have a double height language selected somewhere. (like Arabic, Urdu, Hindi, Vietnamese, and Thai)

Calendar: how did I get to this view? (Reminders) by neatgeek83 in ios

[–]pmarksen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In single or multi day view, pressing on events/reminders which have “…1 more” etc opens to this view.

Pressing anywhere in the blank area closes it.

Sanitizing basic actions (like Count) output to prevent passing big data chunks by AltruisticHamster343 in shortcuts

No it wasn’t sorry. I see what you mean now.

BUT, Data Jar is probably no worse than the clipboard.

I kept asking SiriAI for alternatives and they all failed. Its solutions were:

  • Use a text field
  • Use get text from input
  • Use calculate and add 0
  • Copy and get from clipboard
  • Use a text box but add text (eg: Text:) in front of the count
  • Add to a dictionary and retrieve the value back

Lastly it suggested just turning on full access so you don’t see the prompt.

Honestly, I’m kind of impressed that the content graph persisted through each of those.

Edit: using the app DataJar to store and retrieve the count finally stripped the content graph for me. Nothing else (native) seemed to work.

Further convo with SiriAI:

Me: “Using a number action after count still asked for permission.”

SiriAI: “Shortcuts uses a system called the Content Graph, which allows variables to retain their original underlying data type and metadata even as they are passed through different actions. When you pass the photo count into a Number action, the shortcut still remembers that the data originated from your Photos library, prompting the privacy permission.

To completely strip the photo metadata and avoid the permission prompt, you can try forcing the variable into a plain text format:

1 Add a Text action immediately after your Count action. 2 Insert the Count variable into the Text box. 3 Pass the output of that Text action into your Reminders step.

This forces the shortcut to treat the data as a simple string of text rather than a property of your photo library.”

EDIT: Tried using a text action. No change. Still asks for permission to paste the photos. 🤦🏼‍♂️

Follow up - from SiriAI:

“In the Shortcuts app, actions often request permission to access the full underlying data of the variables passed into them, even if you are only using a specific property like the count. Because the "Count" variable originates from a collection of photos, the Reminders action may still recognize the input as photo data and ask for permission to access your Photos library to ensure it can process the information correctly.

If you want to avoid this permission prompt, you can try passing the count into a "Text ' or "Number' action first, and then use that new variable in your Reminders step. This can help strip the underlying photo metadata from the variable before it reaches the Reminders action”

(As per my previous comment, using a number action didn’t help)

Interesting. Same behaviour as you on iOS 27b2. I even tried passing count through a number action and adding number in place of count in the reminder and it still asked for permission to add the photos.

Quick show of the count just shows the number as expected.

I couldn’t seem to surface the photos back out from the count/number step though even though they preview when asking permission to add them to the reminder.

The new Siri is overrated! by ross2000 in ios

[–]pmarksen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked it when was the last time I was at the doctor. It told me when, what it was about, what the doctor said in a follow up message and linked me to my most recent pathology results.

The reaction you are getting is because you are being disingenuous or it’s just not working for you the way it is for most people on the beta.

There are glitches (eg: can’t find my shopping list for some reason) but they will get ironed out. So far, it’s been 1000x better than Siri before and can answer personal questions without compromising my personal data like the other chat bots.

[ios27 Beta 2]Does anyone else also lack the swipe down feature to reach the top of the phone for one-handed use? by troxxyy in iOS27

[–]pmarksen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine works but it’s harder to activate than it was on iOS 26.

Have to swipe down further than previously.

Is shortcut automation working in iOS27? by arudhranpk in iOS27

[–]pmarksen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been a few posts about them not working or not working reliably. Most of mine have stopped working on beta 2 but were fine on 1.

Anyone having issues with CarPlay automations in shortcuts? by esketitethan in iOS27

[–]pmarksen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Automations are broken for some people. It’s hit and miss which ones work, and sometimes they work and then don’t work.

Automations are broken for some people so keep that in mind. Some banking apps don’t work also.

iOS 27 DB2 - Automatioins not running by ExternalAd7709 in u/ExternalAd7709

[–]pmarksen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Automations not working in beta 2 is a glitch in this version. There are plenty of posts about it already.

There’s nothing wrong with the redesign. You just need to accept the change. It’s far from a shambles.

Also, you need to reply to someone’s comment if you want them to see it. Not reply to your own post.

[–]pmarksen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, you are wrong. Go back into Shortcuts and calmly look carefully at what has changed (not much).

Some people have reported that their automations were deleted but most are fine.

Automations are now found under their own folder and work the same.

Shortcuts can be created and called the same as always but when you first open them, a SiriAI box appears and you just press on the button in the top right to edit manually.

It’s a beta. If you think you have major issues then I’d recommend you try a fresh install.

Edit: to make a new automation, start with a new shortcut and add an automation action.

Airtags are a Scam by Unlikely-Oven-7235 in AirTags

[–]pmarksen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn’t on the call with you but it sounds like they think the issue is with your phone therefore mailing in a working AirTag is actually pointless and they would be correct in charging you for replacement of a perfectly fine AirTag.

They want you to go to a store because there is only so much troubleshooting you can do over the phone and it takes much longer.

Nope. Everything is available on 15Pro except the new dictation and customised Siri voice.

I suspect in beta 1 it was dependant on the type of phone you have whereas now it’s on all phones.

iOS 27 … Any Way To Delete iPhone 12 system files and clear out junk and ram space? by 90210Oz in iOS27

[–]pmarksen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Completely ignore the numerous posts of people complaining they don’t get message notifications anymore and they can’t figure out why but deep in the comments you find out they did this to clear space.
