Turn off connect in restrictions.

Pretty sure its already off, I can't remember my restrictions password... :( Yeah, its off.

I thought Apple was getting rid of that stupid connect thing anyways? Did anyone (artist or end-user) ever use the thing? I recall seeing Muse put up some stuff, but I guess it was tied to the artists you have in your collection...and apparently the only artist I have that was actively participating was Muse.

My Music.app just has Library, Radio and Search at the bottom, and I'm cool with that now that I realized I can edit the menu in Library. New music app is alright so far, lets see how it holds up to my morning commute.

EDIT: Now I'm mad, they removed star ratings from iOS. What. The. Hell. :mad:

I'm writing a sternly worded feedback right now! :argh:

Connect is still there, it's just in the For You tab below all the albums and playlists and such. It shows me some good stuff from time to time. It helps to follow curators in addition to musicians.

Try Outlook if you haven't ever/in a while. It's better than the native client by a lot.

The Outlook watch app totally destroys the native one too. You can actually get a decent amount in the initial splash preview along with scrolling text instead of THIS CONTENT CANNOT BE DISPLAYED ON THE APPLE WATCH taking up the entire message.

So what's the deal with Game Centre now? Is it not a thing anymore? I notice the app is gone but I'm still signing into games. Probably on the cutting block.

I'm not attached to it, it was kind of a failed experiment, its just in such a weird place now under iOS10.

There's no reason for a standalone app. Functionality is built into Game Center compatible apps.

Paraphrasing moments of genius
Really not sure about the new music app. I used the star ratings a ton. Seems like they're still there, since the smart playlists I setup for ratings still seem to work, but now I don't have any way to rate tracks through the app unless I decide to use their stupid "like"/"don't like" system.

Also, is it just me or is there no way to add the currently-playing song to a playlist thats in a folder? Most my playlists are sorted into folders. I used to be able to add the playing song to any playlist I wanted, but now when I try to do that it doesn't show any of the playlist folders, just the few top-level playlists I have (i.e. the ones not in folders).

I want the Music app to show me songs I have synced to the device via iTunes and nothing else, like it has been since 2007.

When I tap the Songs category? Only show me songs on local storage. Albums? Show me what is on local storage.

Settings -> Music -> iCloud Music Library -> Off.
Plug phone into computer. Start iTunes. Sync music as per normal.

(Coincidentally, you can follow these steps to sync music you own and then reenable iCloud Music Library to use Apple Music. Doing this prevents the iOS Music app re-downloading all the songs you already own.)

How do I get the thing I saw where if I type pizza I can tap on it to have it turn into the 🍕emoji?

I have my iPhone language set to English and a secondary language set to German. I think that's how you enable to dual dictionary thing right? This is pretty neat. If I'm writing in English and type computer it doesn't do anything special to it aber auf deutsch Computer (it automatically capitalized it). This is really cool.

Now I just need my words to automatically turn into emoji.

I have an odd issue in which I have iOS10, and my friend has iOS10, and he can send ME stickers and effects and poo poo in Message, but when I try to send it to him, it says like "Hello" "Sent as invisible ink". Any effects I try to send him don't come through on his end, but when he and his wife try it, it both works for them. Anyone see this?

Interesting I have the same problem and similar situation (but with Dutch). I can get the words to turn orange when I switch to the emoji keyboard, but not in the regular English keyboard. :iiam:

That's the way it's supposed to be. It only switches to orange when you switch to the emoji keyboard.

So maybe this is really obvious, but where do I press to play an album/playlist now? I used to be able to press the cover art and it would play the whole thing, now it seems to do nothing. I guess I can have to press on the first song? That seems kind of unintuitive if I want to play the whole album (at least unintuitive to me).

I don't know what you're talking about about the words turning orange.

Pizza

Switching my keyboard to emoji didn't do anything special to pizza. I mean the emoji turns up in the predictive text suggestions but that's all. Which means it doesn't work for the Dutch keyboard since there is no predictive text suggestions for some reason.

I actually don't use Apple Music so I don't know the answer, but fwiw tapping the first song in the list seems more intuitive to me than tapping the album art.

I think I might have thought the same when the first Music redesign happened but then I got used to tapping the album art so maybe it was never actually intuitive but I got used to it. Either way, I feel like there should probably just be a play triangle somewhere in there.

Mind, I don't use the Dutch keyboard. I just have it set as the second language under Settings->General->Language and Region.

If I type pizza in the English keyboard, then switch to the Emoji keyboard, pizza turns orange and a tap turns it into the emoji. I expected that the switch to the emoji keyboard would not be necessary. But I guess it makes sense: switching to the emoji keyboard is a clear sign you want to add emoji, while if you don't there are other reasons for tapping text (editing etc).

It's already off, as it was before I updated to iOS10. However, "Show on Lock Screen" is now turned on. I guess that's why the whole text can be view on a locked phone?

However, I'd like to get a notification on the lock screen that I've received a message but I don't want anyone to be able to read said message.

Yep, just tap the first song, which will also queue up the rest of the current playlist/album. You can also press the "..." button and tap the play button there, but that takes longer, so I usually use the first method.

Try turning it on, then back off and maybe rebooting in between? Mine definitely only shows me that I got a message and who it's from, not the full message.

ASK ME ABOUT MY SHITTY, BOUGIE INTERIOR DECORATING ADVICE
I suffered the install glitch on my iphone - this is my first OTA major release, so I didn't realise it was a common thing with major releases, otherwise I wouldn't have stayed up till 3am for the ios 10 update to become available. Wasn't a big deal though, I just plugged the phone into itunes in the morning.

I like the new mail app, except in threads each person's response shows a bunch of nested replies which is annoying - I understand this mainly happens with emails from exchange servers? Is this something apple needs to fix, or Microsoft? I may have to go back to using outlook in the meantime. I'm half tempted to migrate all my mail to a gmail account just so I can use inbox.

What I really want to know is who the hell decided to make the clock app white text on a black background for some random reason? white on black looks hideous compared to black on white, and worst of all it doesn't occur anywhere else in the OS, so it looks really jarring and out of place.

Probably just a nod to people who only use the clock app to set an alarm at or around bedtime. I didn't really think about it, but yea, the out of place color scheme just makes me pine for the rumored-but-absent Dark Mode. These white cards or bubbles or panes or whatever are bright as gently caress and kinda ugly. It's weird that not one person at Apple felt the same way and thought, maybe we could let the user determine the brightness and/or opacity of these bubbles.
