Question Mark Mound posted:Is it possible to reclassify an app’s folder in the App Drawer? I want to move Awful from “entertainment” to “social” App drawer seems like a really half baked feature looking for a problem to solve. In an update that’s all about giving you options for your layout you’re stuck with it on, you’re stuck with its default grouping, and it’s going to change your home screen layout with space for the scroll dots unless you remove all your app icons beyond a single page. They should have provided an option to choose your layout like dark mode or zoom. Hopefully more apps update soon since the Smart Stack as is is almost as useless as Siri suggestions overall. iOS 14 is pretty meh.

Yeah been using the betas for months and the only time I ever use the app drawer is to bring up most recently downloaded apps.. which previously just would appear in the order downloaded on a screen. So for my personal use, it really doesn't add anything to the table and feels like a 'we added it because Android people moaned for years' in the same vein as terrible alternate keyboards.

App drawer is dumb for me and how I’ve used my iPhone - I keep apps in folders with groupings and names that make sense to me. Having this “intelligent” auto-grouping that is only slightly intelligent is like taking a bunch of steps backwards. I can see it being maybe useful for people who don’t keep their apps organized but for those of us that do, I don’t see the value. Also, I wanted to get excited about smart stacks and widgets but with limited app content it just feels that two apps can take the screen space as 4 apps now or a bunch of Apple apps I never use can take up 2 rows of space. Yay?

Tap on a story then on the logo at the top and you can block it there. Then remember to remove the entry from your history because I’m sure that will taint recommendations too.

It just removed Fox from inside the app itself. It sucks but it works well enough for notifications with breaking news (like one I just got right now  ).

I’m pretty sure I’ve had channels I’ve blocked still show up in the Top Stories section. Apple News is dreadful at working out what I actually want to read, no matter how many times I actually try to curate it and tell it what to suggest.

I think they're all kinda poo poo, I spent like a year on google news telling it to stop giving me stories about megan markle and it never gave up. I also tried to train it to give me more stories about hockey and less about baseball and basketball, it was futile. I guess on the upside you can blacklist a news source and it actually does it but once the algorithm decides you need to know about something there ain't no changing its mind.

Is there anything widgets are doing that I can’t just ask Siri about? For me I always find widgets mildly interesting to play with in other platforms but ultimately not that useful. Like, music / audio apps already have a widget of sorts on the lock screen, weather widgets always sound good but I delete them because I don’t actually need a five-day forecast staring me in the face 100 times a day, etc. They’re often pretty, which is reason enough if you want to play with them, imo, but they never actually make using my phone quicker or better or anything. I’m open though if y’all have some ridiculous widgets.

I switched over to iPhone a little over a year ago after being on android before that. I’ll never go back and really enjoy my XR, but one thing I really miss on the Android was the ability to dismiss an upcoming alarm. For instance, if I wake up early and look at the Lock Screen, it would show upcoming alarms (in the next hour or so?) and give you the ability to quickly press dismiss so the alarm wouldn’t sound for today. It was a really nice feature but I don’t see anything like that in iOS. Am I wrong? Or does 14 have any changes? I haven’t really dug into the new sleep alarms and whatnot

Oh so that's where the Dark Sky acquisition went. Anyone know if the percip chart is US-only? I don't recall if it was Apple themselves or blogs that said those Dark Sky features would be US-only. I currently use CARROT weather for Dark Sky in the widget but that won't work when Dark Sky's API is sunset. Thankfully CARROT has other API partners to choose from but I really like Dark Sky's percip prediction (and it's usually bang-on here in Toronto at least).

I used that early dismiss feature all of the time.

I wish there was a way to toggle off display names of apps and widgets. If I have a big calendar widget that is pretty obvious what it is without the word "Calendar" below it taking up space. The apps in the dock don't show names and it gives a much cleaner appearance.

Really feel like widgets would be improved a lot by having a 2x1 sized one for small data like step counts. Also, apparently you don’t get the step count widget without having an Apple Watch despite the Health app already doing this on-device?!

yeah, you have to buy a watch to unlock a lot of the health/fitness tracking stuff on your phone, probably including that widget. The phone works as a pedometer without a watch but it won't give you goals, etc.

I have the Fitness widget but not a steps counter. It just shows activity. I'd love a steps count widget but unless it was added in Watch OS7 they don't even offer a complication for the Apple Watch.
