Somehow Barclays hasn’t gotten the news yet 🙄. The Barclays banking app doesn’t respect. https://s1999u2.github.io/annoyances/apple_weather_location_privacy/ Wed, 28 Jun 2023 15:38:00 +0100 https://s1999u2.github.io/annoyances/apple_weather_location_privacy/ Apple Weather Location Permissions Steve Jobs, in an interview at the D8 conference in June 2010: Privacy means people know what they’re signing up for, in plain English and repeatedly Of course, I want to know if an app tracks my location. But isn’t this getting a bit excessive? Besides, I’m sure I’ve already given Weather the Always Allow permission several times. Weather has used your location 454 times in the background over the past 3 days. https://s1999u2.github.io/annoyances/ios_control_center/ Wed, 21 Jun 2023 20:00:00 +0100 https://s1999u2.github.io/annoyances/ios_control_center/ Apple Sweats the Details This is on iOS 16.5.1, btw. So we’re 15 releases into the iOS 16 cycle. 15 releases in, iOS 16 is still glitchy. https://s1999u2.github.io/annoyances/ios_16_rotation/ Fri, 02 Jun 2023 22:12:32 +0100 https://s1999u2.github.io/annoyances/ios_16_rotation/ iOS 16.5 is Still Buggy After 16 years of working (more or less) flawlessly, iOS 16 breaks basic functionalities. With iOS 16.5 we’re 8 months into the iOS 16 release Screen rotation is still broken in iOS 16.5. https://s1999u2.github.io/annoyances/app_store_ads_4/ Tue, 30 May 2023 08:21:00 +0100 https://s1999u2.github.io/annoyances/app_store_ads_4/ Apple’s Privileges Since iOS and the App Store are Apple’s own platforms it gets special privileges and doesn’t have to follow its own rules. Ever seen any third-party app getting such a nice screen asking for permissions? And how about the dark pattern highlighting the Enable Notifications… Also: Not Now? How about never? Apple gets special treatment when asking for permissions. https://s1999u2.github.io/annoyances/app_store_ads_2/ Sun, 26 Mar 2023 14:37:00 +0100 https://s1999u2.github.io/annoyances/app_store_ads_2/ Apple Knows How to Make the App Store a Premium Experience First, Apple is explicitly showing me something I’m not looking for. Second, Apple knows Audible is already installed and decides to show me the ad anyway.

I understand that Crunchy Bagel, the app developer, is not to blame. I genuinely adore Streaks and all of the other apps they offer. You should definitely check them out. ↩︎ https://s1999u2.github.io/annoyances/ios_apple_watch_update/ Thu, 23 Feb 2023 20:10:05 +0100 https://s1999u2.github.io/annoyances/ios_apple_watch_update/ Apple Watch Update You can resume the download when you are connected to a Wi-Fi network. Ookay… So is the Watch app broken and unwilling to update. Or is my iPhone lying to me and I’m not connected to Wi-Fi? Apple Watch requires Wi-Fi to update. https://s1999u2.github.io/annoyances/1password_suggestion/ Thu, 02 Feb 2023 13:26:00 +0100 https://s1999u2.github.io/annoyances/1password_suggestion/ 1Password 8 is Great Best autofill suggestion ever 1Password giving useless autofill suggestions. https://s1999u2.github.io/annoyances/ios_autocorrect_1/ Tue, 01 Nov 2022 09:00:00 +0100 https://s1999u2.github.io/annoyances/ios_autocorrect_1/ ML-based Autocorrect Sucks I get wildly wrong predictions since Apple added machine learning-based predictions to its autocorrection/text completion. Why on earth would the German equivalent of „well then it’s…“ logically be completed to „iStateOfMind3“ 🤷? I don’t have an app with that name installed, and as far as I know, I never had one. iOS keyboard giving wildly wrong suggestions..
