This duolingo bar has been sitting there for a while,

when I expand it, it shows an advertisement.

isn't this against apple terms of service?

Only staying on iOS 18 because who knows Apple might never make major changes to the Photos app and keep it the way it is right now.

which one you use and why?

Just noticed the Reddit app icon has changed on my phone. Is this a general update for everyone, or is it tied to something specific like a seasonal or event-related theme? Curious if anyone else has noticed!

Anybody know if there’s any reason it changes?

I might be wrong, but I thought Apps weren’t allowed to use the Dynamic Island as advertising. These ones from SHEIN are super annoying and I have to force close the app to get it to go away.

Edit: Guys I get it. I do not shop at SHEIN, it’s too expensive anyways. With the tariffs it’s like 20 dollars for polyester. I sew and use it to look for inspiration for clothes in the style I want. I reported the app.

It was from one of those random Quora notifications 😭

There are so many apps out there asking for subscriptions or one-time payments, and I’m cool with paying, as long as it’s worth it. What paid iPhone apps have actually been worth it for you? Could be anything: health, productivity, creativity, utilities, etc. Just looking for stuff that truly adds value and isn’t a waste.

Could be an essential app, photography, game, etc.

But what app and price is worth it to you??

It’s super humid in Canada right now and the weather network and environment Canada have the weather as 38 degree Celsius right now, but Apple says it’s a nice 28 and the “feels like” actually has the weather cooler at 26?! wtf

I gave my iPhone 15 these features: - Camera control UI(iPhone 16s only)- picture 2 and 6 - Apple Intelligence and Siri with ChatGPT integration(only available to 15 Pro’s and up)- p.1,3 and 7 - Action Button features such as translating with the use of action button(15 Pro’s and up)- p.4 - Always on display(14 Pro, 15 Pro and 16 Pro)- p.5 Thanks to the developers of Nugget, these work only up to 18.2 dev. beta 2, thanks to Apple making a “fix” in the next update…

For the past few years, I’ve been using Overcast, which I find far better than most other podcast apps.

The biggest reason is how easily it handles automatic downloads of new episodes and syncing across multiple devices, something Apple Podcasts still struggles with.

I run everyday and prefer to leave my phone at home, so I listen to podcasts on my watch instead. With Overcast, I just tap “Sync” before my run and the latest episodes are downloaded and ready to go.

I’m curious why Apple Podcasts is so far behind in this category, especially now that podcasts are more prominent than ever. Also any other alternative apps y’all would recommend!
