iOS 14

Jamie2k9 · 17-04-2021 1:11pm

Hi all, I remember this issue was touched on before. Have a 6s and with Eir. 4G coverage is great however regularly as I travel it switches to 3G and takes ages to go back to 4G (usually in a populated area).

So anytime on a train or Motorway I have to open Settings, Mobile Data, Mobile Data Options, Voice and Data and then select 3G and hit 4G and the 4G coverage comes back.

Is there an issue with other networks. I have a Vodafone sim which I will try next time I take a trip. Its very annoying especially if I need the hotspot for working.

Apparently IOS 14.5 is going live this evening. That would be 6pm Irish time if they follow precedent.

Is 14.5 the version that'll unlock your phone while wearing a mask?

Provided you've got an Apple Watch on and unlocked and you switch this feature on, yes

Installed it but I'm not getting any of the privacy prompts. I expected when I opened Facebook for example to get the prompt?

On 14.5 now myself. Before updating a load of apps were updated and I was asked to track by RTE, Lidl, a Radio Station and my CCTV app.

In settings if you open privacy and then tracking make you will see what apps has asked you but make sure the ask apps to track is on.

I opened RTE and it didn't ask me either.

Ask to Track is definitely on.

And I'm definitely on 14.5.

I was asked a few days ago, I only updated to 14.5 in last little while and have just deleted and reinstalled the RTE app and get the message on start up like the below. I would open your app store and refresh for latest app updates available unless you do it automatically. I would think a lot of apps will need to be updated for the tracking to be asked.

Edit - RTE Version 6.0.30

So I got the prompt for Sky Sports Score Centre. And now it's listed under the Privacy > Tracking in settings.

No prompt for Facebook though and Facebook isn't listed under Privacy > Tracking. There's also no FB app update available. Curious if anyone has got the prompt for Facebook.

I’ve found over the last month or so that it’s ‘learned’ my face in a mask and it’s been unlocking anyway.

I have been on 14.5 the past week with the gold release. Not gotten any prompts yet. Uninstalled Facebook twice.

I think the app needs to be built against the later sdks not sure if Facebook have done this yet as I don’t have their app installed.

I have gotten asked by just eat and ultimate rugby but they happened over the weekend and I was on 14.4.x then.

Anyone else’s allow apps to track grayed out?

Leftwaffe · 26-04-2021 10:17pm

In Siri settings, there is a language option now called English (Ireland). Has that always been there? If I try to turn it in it tells me that Siri voice recognition and personality requests won’t work if I do.

I thought there was proper Siri support for sidle and coming, or am I wrong?

Doodah7 · 26-04-2021 10:25pm

For those not getting the opt-outs, you may have them blocked already.

On checking my phone on Settings>Privacy>Tracking the toggle under Allow Apps to Request to Track was already switched off.

It let me change to English (Ireland) without telling me there’d be any ill effects.

What are the actual advantages of changing it to Ireland? I might restart the phone, maybe it’s a glitch or leftover from the previous iOS version.

No. Is your phone owned by your employer? If so you may have a profile installed on it that’s controlling this setting.

Have you updated your HomePod OS’ as well?

It’ll probably help with pronunciation issues people have with getting Siri to understand fadas etc.

Nope. Looking online seems I’m not the only one with this problem so that’s something atleast guess I’ll have to wait till 14.5.1

“Hey Siri, turty tree ana turd.”

“Thirty three plus one third is 33.333333”

Siri’s gone native.

English (Ireland) for the phone and Siri language have been there long before now haven't they?

DubDJ · 27-04-2021 8:15am

If you have the greyed out “Do Not Track” button try signing out of iCloud and sign back in to fix it.

I think the Irish voice has been there for ages.

I remember when it came out it sounded really bad, very robotic. Not sure if they improved it.

It has definitely improved, I switched to it last night, It's actually quite neutral. I might end up switching back just because I used the British voice for so long but I could see myself actually using the Irish ones now that they've lost the OIrish-ness.

Personal requests on HomePod don't work with the language set to English (Irish) which is a bummer but I'd say a software update (when HomePod is officially released here) will fix that. At least Siri language and voice are independent of each other.

Haven't had to wear a mask yet since, given my current rate of leaving the house it might be a few days before I do :pac:
