I am in the EU and have updated to 17.4, however I don’t see these things that are mentioned (safari popups for browsers for example, alternative app stores in settings…) do I need to enable something?

[–] SecretPancake@feddit.de 11 points 8 months ago

It only asked me the first time I opened Safari.

[–] QuarterSwede@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (2 children)

You are physically located in the EU as the time of trying, correct. That matters.

[–] LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

You need to be in the EU geographically, plus have an European based Apple ID account. If you’re visiting the EU it won’t show up.

I’m in Poland. Have Polish Apple ID. Only what I’ve got, is just a selection a default browser when I first launch Safari after update. That’s all.

[–] B0rax@feddit.de 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

Yes I am. I live there. But there was no pop up in safari. (Or anywhere else for that matter)

[–] QuarterSwede@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Interesting.

[–] SecretPancake@feddit.de 9 points 8 months ago

I’m just relieved I can keep my web apps.

[–] ANIMATEK@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

If somebody could already install an alt store, please let me know. I think there isn’t any atm.

[–] alcyoneous@midwest.social 2 points 8 months ago

None are out yet, AFAIK AltStore just got approved but isn’t released yet.

Excited to try transcripts for podcasts. I installed the Apple Podcast app a few weeks ago to get ready for this…

[–] QuarterSwede@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

I’m conflicted about that one. My favorite player, by a large margin, is Pocketcasts and I haven’t liked Apple’s podcast app in the past the multiple times I’ve tried it but this feature would be legit useful.

[–] mysoulishome@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Exact same boat. Pocket casts has been my app since it came out. I can’t live without closed captioning on tv so wondering if this will be cool in podcasts

[–] qwed113@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I also love PocketCasts, but the transcript feature persuaded me enough to make the full leap to Apple Podcasts. It’s so well implemented.

The rest of the app isn’t as intuitive and simple as pocketcasts, but I’ve gotten used to it and it doesn’t feel too awful lol.

[–] mysoulishome@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

I pretty much listen to podcasts in order from oldest to newest so I haven’t seen any transcripts yet. Supposedly they are doing (adding transcripts) to all new episodes and old episodes will be filled in over time. I don’t know why I’m just really anal about it even if it’s just science stuff I feel like I always have to listen to stuff in order of release…
