I'm not sure that message on the fetch screen is right, maybe its a bug or not working as intended. :shrug:

My iPhone is not plugged into power and I turned the wifi off. Sent myself an email from my PC and it appeared on my iPhone the same time it appeared in my inbox.

EDIT: Okay, definitely don't need to be plugged in but you do need to be on wifi. Still, that's a huge improvement.

Tried using it at work and for the afternoon it never fetched until I opened the app. Seems the message about it being on power and on wifi is accurate, because I was on the work wifi while I tried it.

It feels that way because the app sizes are gone.


Pages and Numbers are both above 400MB to download which is just crazy given how limited they are.

I think they did this so the phone can wait for the double click to go to recent apps which is much more smooth and consistent now. I think they did this because they took away our 3D Touch app switching gesture.

Ok if others noticed it too then I’m good. Just thought that was the most noticeable thing but no one else had posted about it.

So I thought this Files app meant like we can have local files. Is it basically just a central place for all of your cloud services?

This is all bad visual changes with no cool or good actual features.

Using a 6 right now, feels fine to me. I factory reset before installing the iOS 11 GM.

Workflow, I hadn't tried it out before I saw this post. Five minutes later I had this workflow set up, too.

It's not as powerful as Tasker on Android but it's way more capable than I thought something like that would be on iOS.

Apple actually acquired Workflow so they can pretend it's not an Apple product all they want, but I'm guessing if they actually spend time & money on it, it's gonna be a blessed app and able to do system level stuff other apps can't ... Tim willing.

But it is surprisingly powerful out of the box.

They have a gallery of workflows ... Some cool things are share location (Maps -> Current Location -> URL to clipboard), 'Brush teeth timer' (start 2 min timer), 'Watch IG Fullscreen' (copy a video link, download it, and watch it in landscape). I don't really use any of those, I only use the Upload last to imgur because it's a pain in the dick to do it normally, but if there's something you'd like to automate, Workflow can probably help. You can add your Workflows as widgets on your left-of-home screen :P Surprised there are power users in this thread that have not heard of it!

I was playing around with the flower wallpapers and maybe you guys would like them as well. I've been using these on the lock screen with the official ones on the home screen. I didn't put a lot of time in so they're not super polished, but I could fix them up a little if you guys are interested.

stock reddit app is garbage, if you like to browse your home page for pictures, look at Monochrome, it's really good for that. if you like to comment, get Narwhal, the whole gesture based UX is really neat and it just makes reading long comment threads easy. there is really no reason to be using their reddit app, it's awful.

It seems to have trouble correctly displaying audio output devices. No issues with actual playback, but it appears to be random whether the music widget displays “iPhone” or the actual output device whenever I look at it, and the playback screen in Music.app shows the name of the output device at the bottom of the screen like 5% of the time. Not a critical bug by any means, but one of those things that’s so visible and consistent that I have to wonder how it made it out the door.

i guess you're not up to date? reddit is a massive corporation that behaves like an incestuous silicon valley startup and they do things because $$ and marketing, not to make your experience better

that's why if you still like the community, it's best to use a third party app. praise of the official app is nonexistant. they literally bought out and then killed the good 3rd party (alien blue). they're just not behaving like a good corporate citizen. whatever.

i mean they went from having like 20 employees under Conde Nast (which already makes them pretty loving Big Corporate) to having hundreds, if not thousands at his point... and nothing to show for it. they stopped open sourcing the platform, they pander to media, they fired that chick who ran all the AMAs, reddit is cancer, don't use their official app

I stopped using the official Reddit app because instead of displaying GIFVs it displays a grainy downsampled five-frame version that looks horrible. Narwhal is better.

gifv is just imgur's way of describing an mp4, behind the scenes it's all mp4 (probably h264), it's stupid that they couldn't figure that out

but to be honest i don't think you can embed mp4/'gifv' on SA either, it loads the gif version ... all of you idiots (and i love you) who loaded my gif downloaded like 20 megs, some of you over cellular ...

No, SA uses gifv. The main issue with gifv here is that preview doesn't work. You paste an url, in the preview screen you get an url, and when you hit post it shows up in the thread as a gifv.

You're right! If you post the URL WITHOUT enclosing it in [img] or [timg] it DOES render as an inline video player, grabbing the MP4 contained content.

... but Olivia Wilde was really good in Tron Legacy (I mean, she was good despite the movie being a bit weak, with an awesome soundtrack)

I wonder why Olivia Wilde isn't more popular, she seems like she's cool enough OUTSIDE of Hollywood that she doesn't need the approval of Hollywood ... she just does what she likes

anyhow.

Who else see da leprechaun say yaaaa!
So, Apple isn't doing the thing with the AppStore anymore where it pulls the latest app version compatible with your iOS. It's refusing to let me download an app cause it requires iOS 11. But what about their last update, Apple? That's good enough for me and will surely work on this iOS!

Edit:

The only reason I'm getting this, I think, is because this device is compatible with iOS 11. If I had a 5c or whatever on iOS 10 still, it would work.
