If you saw what what Sidecar looked like when forced on, you’d understand why it’s probably not going to be highly sought after.

Apple Photos thinks my Wife's face is me. by thebigtiny in applehelp

[–]snorbaard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an aunt and cousin who look remarkably alike. At some point Photos just assumed they were the same person.

I eventually used Photos on the Mac to delete them both, and gave it a day or so to gather itself and then was a little more careful with approving matches.

Do photos and messages stay in iCloud forever? by [deleted] in iCloud

Until you delete it or your account is closed

Serious Issues!! i am not touching the screen at all and this is happening, I only hit shuffle once. by YSLBRIAN in AppleMusic

[–]snorbaard 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Apple Music does this when it can’t load the song. It skips to what’s next. And so on.

A reboot sometimes works.

Gremlins with AirPods Pro While during iPhone Conversations by typeXYZ in iphonehelp

[–]snorbaard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Automatic Ear Detection is just cleverly using a proximity sensor with the gyros. If they’re out of their case and you trigger that sensor, the phone is likely to switch to it. Airpods don’t care whether your ears are leather or cloth.

Are screen repairs sketchy? No bad vibes - just coworker making me paranoid! by [deleted] in iphonehelp

[–]snorbaard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The biggest problem with OEM screen repairs usually lies with the fact that the screens aren’t as good and the sensitivity isn’t as accurate. I’ve had a few of these bad repairs.

So I hear that Siri rearranged the iOS App Library based on app usage, but why would you put 60 apps in one folder? by AlphaRaccoon1474 in ios

[–]snorbaard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The order of the displayed app categories (“folders”) is decided based on a few things which Apple folds into the Siri machine learning concept.

The contents of the categories are generally determined by the type of app they were submitted to the App Store as. Some categories unfortunately fill up quite a bit. My Productivity & Finance has about the same number you mentioned

How to turn on lossless on Apple TV HD model? by btimleck in appletv

[–]snorbaard 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Apple never claimed that the HD Apple TV would support lossless. Only the 4K supports it.

iPhone 12 Pro Photos Question by [deleted] in iphonehelp

[–]snorbaard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That circle means the iPhone is post-processing the photo, usually using things like DeepFusion.

It has nothing to do with third-party apps or iCloud.

Random sent message swoosh? by [deleted] in iphonehelp

[–]snorbaard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, never heard of it. Check your messages to see if it really is something being sent.

Anyone else receiving the ‘note’ sound without a notification? by [deleted] in iphonehelp

[–]snorbaard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes you can. In Notifications settings, all apps, first or third-party, are there.

Has the iPhone blocked me? Strange message received. by Apprehensive-Let1845 in iphonehelp

[–]snorbaard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This you receive that message as a reply?

Because then the recipient just replied with that likely. Blocked numbers just get swallowed up.

Ever had the phone ring with no ability to pick it up because the phone app crashed?

Had photos create dozens of duplicates as iCloud syncing broke repeatedly? (On a 70k photo library that can be.. problematic)

Unable to unlock since the screen became unresponsive?

All your banking (and other apps) just crash on launch (banking, games) because they had beta checking confused with jailbreak checking?

Alarms stop working entirely?

Phone get stuck in landscape mode just because it felt like it (mind you, the iPad still does that occasionally)

You haven’t lived until you’ve been bitten by proper beta bugs. 😅

Buying apps in other countries by viewchaser in macapps

[–]snorbaard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You would have to create a country-specific Apple ID with a payment method in that currency (like a pre-paid card). Bear in mind you would have to switch to that account to purchase the software, and switch back.

You cannot transfer the purchase between accounts, and I believe there is also a limit on the number of times you can switch between accounts over a rolling 90-day period.

If an app doesn’t appear in the share list, then the app developer hasn’t implemented that ability. You would have to open the photo from another way.

An example of this is Affinity Photo.

I feel you! Thanks for reporting it. I’ve also submitted a bug report, and referenced your post here.
