New thread with little bits I find in Apple’s new OSes. 🧵

@jarrod Shortcuts now surfaces your favorited actions without needing an extra tap. They used to be in a ‘Favorites’ category. 👍

@jarrod Photos app retains a sidebar on iPad and has a bunch of new Utilities categories. There are more, like Receipts, that only show up if you have images that fit the category.

@jarrod Passwords app won’t let you save items without something in the ‘Password’s field. 👎 Also, looks like it obscures the password field completely when taking a screenshot.

@jarrod Can promote page and tab actions to be favorites under that Reader icon in Safari.

@jarrod Photos has a pretty nice UI for trips you’ve taken! Mine goes back to 2009.

@jarrod You can change the size of an existing widget on your Home Screen with a long-press. No need to delete and choose it again from the widget gallery!

@jarrod I hope they fixed the editor because it was so buggy.

@jarrod Losing the tab bar icons in the move to the top nav bar on iPad is a little weird.

@jarrod The top nav bar really crowds out folder titles in the Files app. (Only gets “Dow…” of “Downloads”)

@numericcitizen Haven’t tried yet!

@jarrod Question regarding shortcut in control centre: can you add icons to the left of the existing column of buttons, or is that off limits? Feels like a lot of empty space there.

@jarrod Looks like “Apple ID” is dead in favor of “Apple Account”. I liked “ID”. 🤷‍♂️

@lmika Nope, you just get those 4 columns, but you can create multiple pages of your custom controls. Could have a whole page of shortcuts, accessible everywhere!

@jarrod Oh hey, iOS 18 will show the name of the song/album that you're adding music to after in the Up Next queue. cc: @viticci
