Interactive widgets are really nice so far. There’s also a new setting to adjust the time needed to trigger haptic presses, I have mine set to Fast and it’s so much better.
Offline maps for Maps is the biggest thing I was excited about. Was using a 3rd party app as a backup up until now.
I am curious, when would you need offline maps? Do you live in an area with bad cell network? Or is your data plan expensive?
Edit: thanks for all your answers. Next time I travel I will download the map of the destination area. Also I added hot spots such as the local stadium and the city center, hoping, that when I take the subway during rush hours maps will work snappier.
Perfect for flights. Once in the air gps still works. Just no cellular. I always had to ensure maps cache won’t die so I can track where I am during the flight.
I use Google Maps, which has had this feature for years. I use it any time I am traveling. If I am going to another country, I may have no cell access at all. Or cell data may cost way more. But even if I am traveling with in the US, there is a chance that wherever I am going, I may not have a reliable connection. 95% of the time it’s fine, but that 5% of the time, when I stressed, out of my element, I don’t know where to go, and my phone has no cell signal, I wish so badly that at least I could use the fucking map at least so I could know where I need to go.
I also have to use it for the town I live in since I moved here, because it’s rural and the cell access is spotty at best. At least that’s improving, though.
Seems like quite a lot of people on Reddit are suffering from some random apps (such as the phone app) taking gigabytes of space, which didn’t happen before.
Not with iOS or iPadOS. The new WatchOS seems like a big pile of unnecessary and inexplicable.
I’m not keen on how the watch Activity app is divided into separate screens, and requires swiping to see each graph. I preferred the previous style, where they were all on one screen which could be quickly scrolled.
There’s a weird — but minor — bug where when I raise the watch my schedule complication flashes. Instead of just going from a white text to a dark text (when the background shows up) the whole thing flashes, and it’s the only item on the watch face that does this.
I updated yesterday no issues so far.
