Universal purchase support for Mac apps that was announced on February 5, 2020 is now officially available, Apple announced yesterday via a blog post on its developer portal.
Both the Apple Watch and iPhone support silent mode – a feature that mutes all incoming notification sounds to prevent awkward situations in certain predicaments, such as a ringtone going off in the middle of class or disturbing participants during a work conference. Unfortunately, this handy feature doesn’t stay in sync between both devices, necessitating manual input for each.
This is a problem that a newly released jailbreak tweak called WatchMuteMirror by iOS developer Cardboard Face aims to resolve. As you may have inferred already from the tweak’s name, WatchMuteMirror keeps silent mode in sync between your iPhone and your Apple Watch so that the latter doesn’t make a bunch of noise even after you toggle the mute switch on the side of your iPhone.
Next week, Apple is going to release iOS 13.4, iPadOS 13.4, and watchOS 6.2 to the public. Before that can happen, though, the company has to release the Golden Master of the software to developers.
While there might not be evidence quite yet that Apple is (finally) going to allow third-party watch face support for the Apple Watch, that doesn't mean there aren't new watch faces coming down the pipe anyway.
Moving right along with the next beta version of its popular operating systems, Apple is preparing the software ahead of a public launch.
At some point this year, Apple is probably going to launch a new Apple Watch, what would probably be called the Series 6, and now we know quite a bit about the unannounced smartwatch.
Apple continues to issue beta seeds of its major operating systems, moving along to a public launch at some point in the near future.
Apple is moving right along with the next major update to iOS and iPadOS, as well as the next software updates to the other operating systems as well.
If you have an Apple Watch, then you’ve undoubtedly noticed that it sports an entirely different system font than your iPhone does. Typically, you’d need to install performance-impacting or battery-guzzling add-ons to change your system font, but with a new and free jailbreak tweak called Compactor by iOS developer Jamie Bishop, you can bring the Apple Watch’s native font to your iPhone without these ill side-effects.
As depicted in the screenshot examples above, the Apple Watch’ system font, also known as SF Compact, is both smaller and more legible than the iPhone’s native system font.
The upcoming watchOS 6 update, currently available for beta testing, will permit apps on your Apple Watch to authenticate you with Facebook, Google, Microsoft and other web-based logins that are compliant with the OAuth standard.
