The only use case for me so far is to unlock my phone when on public transport, but mostly I read on my iPad mini 4 which has touch id.



It's been massive for my wife. She wears a mask from 7:00am-4pm most days. NZ is a bit different but for most of the world this is a huge feature.

Downloaded it yesterday and it has royally screwed the podcast app - which was never great in the first place.

 

Cannot remove episodes you have listened to, you can "delete" them but they stay in the list cluttering things up.

 

All the shows you have downloaded but not subscribed to have disappeared from the shows folder, you have to search for the show in the podcasts and then when you find it it shows you the episodes you have downloaded already on your phone - hope you remember the names of all those shows so you can do the search! (I don't!!)

Whilst the difficult we can do immediately, the impossible takes a bit longer. However, miracles you will have to wait for.

I’m starting to get pop ups now also. Interesting, just before the Facebook pop up appeared they put their own splash screen trying to tell you why you should click allow!

I don't get any pop-ups, but in Settings->Privacy, Allow Apps to Request to Track is off. This was the default when I upgraded to iOS 14.5.

Thanks, I was going to ask if there was a global setting that you could tick to disable tracking for all apps. I've left mine set to allow apps to ask for now, only because I'm curious which apps were tracking and sharing. Eventually once I get over my curiosity I'll just set it to disable for all.
