Apple update 14.8

Because Apple is allowing it, I am staying on 14.x. Even though they postponed the CSAM thing, I highly suspect that 15.0 has put in place the mechanism necessary to scan local phone data. There are no features of 15.0 that I am really looking for.

This ^^^^^

I'll stay on 14.x as long as I can. When I no longer can I may switch back to Android.

Moved to iOS 15. So far, so good.

It keeps asking me about “new features” that want to share this or that.

As I suspected, "Do not disturb" no longer works with 15 on my XS Max phone. This morning my girlfriend tried to call and was sent to voicemail. The previous iteration allowed people that were in my Favorites file could call through and ring or leave a message even if it was on the blocked off times of DND. I use DND to block notification from banks etc that do their processing and notifications at ungodly hours. I sure hope they get this fixed as it was an excellent way to allow sleeping through the night.

Thanks. It was bad enough with the last update which now displays DO NOT DISTURB constantly.

The feature is still there, but your previous settings / preferences were not preserved with the update.

There is a new group of settings in iOS 15; the group is called "Focus." Drill down there, and you should be able to restore the behavior that you want.

Apple took their sweet time in getting that 14.8 release out.

I never upgrade to a newer IOS version until it has been out for a while and the bugs have been fixed. It looks like they already have one patch out for IOS 15 and are working on another one.

I stupidly updated to 15 a few weeks ago and now I'm hoping this update fixes some of the glitches. Notably bluetooth items aren't working properly (my fit track scale) and the Sirius XM App on Carplay.




These go to eleven.
