On my iPad at least, using the app you can double tap the left or right side of the video to go backwards/forwards 10 seconds.

E: you can also use the “two finger spread” to go full screen, and vice versa.

The OP is super old and hasn’t been updated, is this the thread to ask about accessories like cases? I have an IPhone 11 Pro Max, and just had to drop $200 for a replacement (through Asurion insurance), because I dropped it and the screen shattered and one of the camera lens coverings on the back broke as well, even though I had it in a (lovely) case.

So, is there an agreed upon best option for a case / screen protector?

Spigen cases are good. I’ve been putting them on my iPhones for years and have never broken one despite dropping them at least once a week.

And Adblock works.
And you can play the audio with your screen off if you switch to desktop view.

Adblock alone makes it worth it, especially now that unskippable mid-roll ads exist.

As someone that use a watch and airpods daily I’m actually really enjoying the battery widget. It also helps to make me aware that the watch isn’t seated well on its charger which is something I mess up often.

I don't understand why I can't harass people online. Seriously, somebody please explain why I shouldn't be allowed to stalk others on social media!
I got a new phone plan/number and I keep getting what looks like spam texts to the previous owner of this number. It’s always addressed to the same name and apparently it was a legit person cause I put in the number into Venmo and it greeted me as that former person. I already went into Messages settings and turned on “filter unknown senders” but I still get the god drat notifications every time a random number texts “Tyler”. What the hell can I do to just block them all completely? Like just block all unknown numbers from creating notifications?

The most annoying thing is they get pushed to my watch too. If I could do one thing then I’d want them to stop buzzing my wrist.

If it was a bunch of random spam then I would but it’s all mostly legit texts to the old owner of this number :shrug:

I mean it sounds like the former owner of that number signed up for a bunch of junk, it's not like it's going to get any better. No reason to try and make something that's broken work when you could just get a new number without that problem.

In fact, it's kinda ruined my plans to buy the iPhone 12. This ol' phone works far too well to justify an upgrade.

Yeah it’s a great problem to have. My XR is 2 years old exactly and I don’t feel any need to upgrade it like I did with my 5C or my 7 Plus. Better screen:body ratio would be nice, or maybe a lack of notch. But really this thing performs like a champ and the camera owns bones.

App updates don’t seem to be working for me this morning. I click Update and they spin, then turn back into the Update button again. I’ve tried force closing the App Store and also did a full phone reboot. Is it possible the update servers are down?

I think they're having some infrastructure or CDN issues in general. iCloud has been wonky for the last few days. I had email drop briefly for about 2-3 minutes earlier today.

One more note is that if you change the stuff in the "website settings" in there they’ll stick, so you don’t have to change things every time you visit a particular site.

I think it’s meant to trick tracking so it can't keep track of you between sites, but that doesn’t necessarily mean the same thing as blocking stuff. Like it shouldn’t block ads or anything if you want that too. In theory I’m guessing it should reduce/prevent targeted ads based on other browsing history, but won’t block the ads themselves.

I was having that problem with "Update All", but when I pressed Update on the individual apps, it seemed to work ok. :shrug:

Are you looking in the iOS settings for outlook, or in Outlooks app settings?

For Spark it’s in the iOS settings.

I am fully embracing the switch to App Library and Widgets. Spent yesterday removing every app from my home screen and folders I previously created so now they are only accessible through the Control Panel, App Library/Search, and Widgets. My home screen is just a Calendar widget, Weather widget, and News smart stack, with the 4 apps on the Dock. App Suggestions in the Today View lists the apps I would most likely be using 99% of the time, once I went thru the settings and removed all of the stuff I already had shortcuts or Widgets for. All of my rarely used apps are just a quick Search away. Digging this new system.

I really wish you could. I have some apps for IoT stuff that show up in Utilities and some that show up in Other, whereas before I made my own folder called Home to hold all of that stuff. Also, an Education folder with one app in it. Dumb.

It really throws me off that the app drawer main view doesn’t have notification badges on the big three icons, only when you fully open the folder do they show up.

It’s *so* close to being what I really want!
