| Here are the new features in iOS 16.3:
|
| - New Unity wallpaper honors Black history and culture in
| celebration of Black History Month
|
| - Security Keys for Apple ID allow users to strengthen the
| security of their account by requiring a physical security key as
| part of the two factor authentication sign in process on new
| devices
|
| - Support for HomePod (2nd generation)
|
| - Emergency SOS calls now require holding the side button with
| the up or down volume button and then releasing in order to
| prevent inadvertent emergency calls
|
| The update also includes some bug fixes and improvements for
| iPhone users:
|
| - Fixes an issue in Freeform where some drawing strokes created
| with Apple Pencil or your finger may not appear on shared boards
|
| - Addresses an issue where the wallpaper may appear black on the
| Lock Screen
|
| - Fixes an issue where horizontal lines may temporarily appear
| while waking up iPhone 14 Pro Max
|
| - Fixes an issue where the Home Lock Screen widget does not
| accurately display Home app status
|
| - Addresses an issue where Siri may not respond properly to music
| requests
|
| - Resolves issues where Siri requests in CarPlay may not be
| understood correctly

|
| I _mostly_ use them interchangeably and just pick whichever
| one feels better in that particular sentence at that
| particular part of the changelog.
|
| The only real exception is when I've fixed one specific

| edge cases where it might pop up again. I deliberately mark
| those as "addressed" for my own sanity.

|
| He eventually exported it to PDF and sent _that_ to me, but
| yeah, you could do that with any drawing app.

| Yes, I am aware of the irony.

| Wife now panicking "kids get out of car now!!"

| pohl wrote:
| Yes, I'm referring to me manually restarting, not the

| Since iOS 16, the alarm of the Clock app is not working properly

|
| It either won't sound at all, or won't sound again after a
| snooze. I can see in the alarm notification that the snooze
| 9-minute timer only starts counting down after I pick up the
| phone (turning on the screen).
|
| It's taking so long for this to be fixed that I'm starting to
| think that something is wrong with my device, not the OS.

| The alarm clock volume on iOS is separate from your normal
| volume. So if it accidentally got lowered then your alarm clock
| will never make any sound. It can get accidentally lowered if
| you have change with buttons on so I turn that off. Turning off
| change with buttons just fixes your alarm and ringer volume, it
| won't prevent you from changing your volume normally when
| listening to music
| lost_tourist wrote:

| rumblerock wrote:
| I've had alarm issues as well recently, and I think in my case

| Features" that will silence alarms if it thinks you're using /
| looking at the phone, or (2) wearing my watch and having it
| think that I was silencing alarms by covering or touching the
| screen.
|
| I turned off the attention aware features and also flipped off
| "Push Alerts from iPhone" for the Clock app on my watch. My
| distrust at this point is so bad that I just don't wear the
| watch to sleep even though I love the sleep tracking features.
|
| It's ridiculous that a bug with alarms is even a thing, and
| also something that's hard to troubleshoot when I'm half-awake.
