iOS 14

article image placeholderInstall iOS 14, iPadOS 14 on your iPhone and iPad now. Everything to know and do
Me, I'm more focused on the creativity and production value. Like, can I do this thing? Can I do that? Okay, that's all I need. But anyway, iOS 14, if you are an iOS user, have you updated it yet? And also no new phones? It's just the Apple watch. They talked about an ipad, I believe so. I'm guessing they're going to be doing it sometime soon, bringing out the new phones

Updating as I speak.

More than anything, I think I'm intrigued. I haven't had the opportunity to play with these types of features on any phone, so the fact that they're coming to iOS is kind of cool as we speak. I am doing the on my ipod to touch, and I'm hesitant to do all of my devices at once, because sometimes these updates will make the phone heat up or need a patch or a fix or whatever

The update is going rather swell, so far? @SeekingPlumb

Hello Christina. Thank you as always for participating on this. Well, and I can imagine by now the update must be complete and you are noticing a couple of things that are different and have changed. I, for one, think it's a radical, cool idea to have my home screen blank with no apps whatsoever Besides the phone Safari. I removed the email app because you pretty much can just swipe to the okay, so you would swipe the other way and then you get the app library

@SeekingPlumb

Kinda disappointed but holding out hope. @Dewuan

I use a different one, and I'd love to have the Widget for my app, as well as the stock option. I can't remember what that thing is called. The stack scrolling thing is very limited in the list of what is going to show up there, and most of those things don't apply to what I need in my day to day. I also didn't realize that the app clips were going to be so location oriented

There’s a point in there somewhere. Lol @SeekingPlumb

It's just three icons on the bottom for the phone text message and the Safari app. That's it. And then I just swipe left and I get my widgets and I swipe right and I get the app drawer thing, the app library. But I hear what you're saying. I hear what you're saying. Hopefully they do eventually roll out one of the cool things I like that I check all the time is my battery

@SeekingPlumb

Battery & taking a screenshot. @Dewuan

It's a back tap. You go to Accessibility touch, and then scroll down, I think, and there's an option back tap, triple or double tap, and you get to choose what you want it to do. It's not available on the ipod touch, but I'm assuming it's going to be on all of the iphones, but I guess we'll find out, won't we? I know, very demanding, very greedy. Give me my tech the way I want it

Some issues I have with iOS 14 @SeekingPlumb

Then I take that same screenshot and I Port it to Facebook. So there's a certain method in which how I like to do it, that it's gotten a lot better now, but I hope they revamp it. I forgot what they call that screen, the share screen or something. I think Topgold had said something about that. I showed my son my son loves phones and stuff, and he was excited
@SeekingPlumb

Airpods, new feature. @Dewuan

I read about that the AirPods thing. Apparently, it's not an issue. It's a new feature. So say you're using your phone with your AirPods, doing whatever you put your phone down and pick up your ipad. Apparently the use will still switch devices automatically. Like, I don't know anything about it because I don't have a pair of AirPods, and I didn't really pay much attention. But yeah, apparently it's something new

Not sure if you guys have an Apple watch, so yeah, don't expect that to change anytime soon because I think for the most part it's just going to be displaying information, and once you tap on the Widget, it'll open up the app for further interactivity. But yeah, jealous. I want to play around with the full release on my iphone, but I can't. What a world so sad

Bummer 😠

What a bomber. But thanks for the update, Abe. I I guess I was holding out hope when there really was none

No, don't lose hope. Apple often says they're not going to do something and then end up doing it. As you know, I mentioned Apple pencil for a long time. I'm a stylist was out of the question, but now we've got two versions of a Stylus called the Apple Pencil, and there's a bunch of other stuff that Apple held back on and then eventually came out with. So I'm sure it will come

FOMO! Haha

I believe the ipad has some of the functionality out the gate with the video in thing before the iphone. I still have yet to use that feature. I'm going to have to try to deliberately do it today. What else? I'm trying to think of the Apple Watch. I don't have an Apple Watch. I remember you and I talked about that Apple Watch. I did not get one. I did not get one at that time, but who knows?

@SeekingPlumb

A sound issue. Anyone else?

Maybe the first one or two times. But after that super loud, I've tried rebooting the phone as well, closing the app down for like 30 seconds, reopening it. The only thing I can think is that they did build in some new audio features, and at the moment, the only one I can remember is that you have the ability now to set a maximum decibel level for your earbuds headphones, whatever. But even playing with that hasn't affected this
@AbeMartinez

@AbeMartinezΒ Β·Β 2:08
Normally, they give it like a week or so to work with what they call Golden Master version of iOS, which then they use to finalize their app and then submit for approval with Apple's vetting team. I can imagine that WhatsApp and many other apps that are having issues. It's probably due to that all of a sudden release that Apple did. I mean, I don't know what to suggest
@SeekingPlumb

I figured out the cause, but still no solution.

And there is an Orange dot that appears in the top part of your screen when the microphone is being accessed, and there's a green dot that appears when either camera is being accessed by an app. Anyway, what's happening is that when I'm pressing the button to record with WhatsApp it's only that button that's affected and that Orange dot comes on

So far, so good.

So I was kind of thinking of that, but that has nothing really to do with what you're talking about. Christina. Yeah, it's been cool so far. I've just been really picking my brain over what I want my home page to look like. And I noticed that was trending on Twitter only iOS only. We can be so spoiled and privileged that we make a big deal out of what our home page looks like
@SeekingPlumb

Overheating issues

I'm also now having like heating issues at Overheating. I haven't used my phone enough to be able to say it's happening on my phone iphone eight, but it's happening on my 7th Gen ipod Touch when it's charging, when I'm listening to an audiobook and doing nothing else with it like it's the weirdest times. And now I'm regretting installing it as earlier as I did. But what are you going to do

Damn! @SeekingPlumb

Sometimes it overheats, and the iphone seven I have overheats all the time all the time, but that's pretty much it's my kids device now. It's not something I use personally anymore, but yeah, s***. Hopefully things work out

@SeekingPlumb

Here's hoping. 🀞 @Dewuan.Is.Soft

Hey, don't sweat it, Dewuan. I I should know better, but you know, sometimes that that instant gratification that wanting the latest cool thing wins out, you know, over knowing the possibility abilities of what could be actually my ipod Touch 7th is the latest version, and it's newer than my iphone eight. Ironically, yeah. So who knows? But hopefully there will be some iOS updates and there will be some app updates in the very near future. Crossing my fingers

Yeah. Yeah. Christina, I think you're gonna be fine for the most part. Yeah, that is interesting with the ipod touch newer than the phone yet. You know, the phone is the one that seems to be the I'm thinking, too, with what processor chip does that, although because I know with the touches, they kind of held back a bit on them, like kind of innovating the ipod touches

Widget mania!

D***, you could have at least described it a little bit or something. I've heard about these widget customizations where you can edit the pictures and all that stuff. And that's just a little too much out of my wheel house. And then I was reading that you can't see the one disadvantage is that you can't see the notification red indicator like, no, I'm good, I'm good. It's not like I get a bunch of those anyway

A few days ago, I wasn't feeling all that great mentally, I needed to shut off some of this stuff on social audio because I was noticing it was affecting me negatively, so I turned it off so I can recuperate and get in a better mental state. By the time my little kid's birthday came up this Saturday, he turned seven. It was an awesome birthday

That’s some responsible shit @AbeMartinez

I'll just go on YouTube and stuff rather than be on the socials, because sometimes it would bother me that I wouldn't have any ideas, and sometimes I don't have ideas because I'm just not in it. My head's not in at the moment, but yeah, man, hopefully you're doing better. It sounds like it to some extent, and I might have to check out that widget thing

Why an iPhone?

So I have an ipod touch, which is I know it's not an iphone, but it's the same as an iphone without making calls. It's kind of old now, but still, even with the ipad, which is new, I just feel like they're so basic. It's like, is this it just a full few screens of apps and a clunky way of doing things. Maybe it's just me, man, I don't know, but I don't know

Why an iphone? This feels very subjective. I don't know. Why does it matter that I like an iphone? Really? I don't really. I don't know. I guess my mind is focused on other are things that I want to do with my phone that I'm not really stopping to think about. What does it look like? Is it look old fashioned and stuff? I don't know. I don't really care about that sort of stuff. Really

But anyway, I went with the Samsung Galaxy Note Four because of that Samsung S Pen and it was cool. It was great. It was better than anything I'd used in the past because I had used a small little Wacom bamboo tablet in the past before I switched to Apple. But the Android platform itself on Samsung turned out to be a promise that was not kept. Samsung not only did not update the phone as much as I would have liked

Alright, I got cut off. Alright, so the note seven had those dangerous issues where it would catch fire and eventually led to a recall. I believe Devon had that issue as well when he had his note seven, so he's had Android experience. So I never actually tried any other Android devices except maybe a tablet here or there, but those were limited because they were Amazon tablets. So that's kind of a different kind of worms we could open

So I guess it's really just whatever you're into, some phones can specialize in things more so than other phones. It all really depends. But anyway, I didn't expect to have an Apple versus Android conversation with this thread, but, hey, I guess it makes sense. I am talking about iOS. So somebody out there may be like, well, I like Android better. I didn't anticipate that. But, hey, any type of conversation is permissible

Hey, Dewuan able. Sorry, man. You know what, Dewuan? I didn't mean to turn this into. You said it sounded quite subjective. I didn't mean to turn it into a personal thing about Android. And what prompted me to ask this question was that you were mentioning the new updates, and you were saying that, you know, that these have been out on Android for such a long time, like years and stuff

I don't jailbreak my phone, but I know the jailbroken versions of iOS have had the Widgets and all that sort of stuff, the same thing that Android had, but it's up to the unofficial developers to kind of bring that stuff out for the public. So no, man, it's good. It's all good. That's the nature of conversation of this magnitude

As I said, I wasn't pulling you up on like, why are you using iphone? I was just asking why of interest, right? And I use two Android phones and one of them is old. One of them is older than one new 1 mile away

iOS 14 does support iPhone 8 I believe. @MarkR

I'm not really sure, but that's actually one of the things Apple is known for is that they support iOS for legacy devices for a very long time before they eventually cut it off due to the fact that the limitations of the older devices can't really do and function with all the new features, sets and all that stuff. Now, for instance, I do notice with my ipad, I don't know what generation it is. Maybe it's just the ipads in general

God knows what she'll have on this phone. I just opened it. Actually, let's have a look. Yeah, actually having a look right now checking for updates. Yes, the iOS 14 is here. I went updated, though she might not like that
