posts decent content

Also in the post: “this was my top post from Reddit. Posting it here for the karma”

Just post it or post some new content.

The restaurant told Apple Maps that it has an app clip and where the restaurant is located. Because you have location permission enabled (prompted during setup) you are within range so Siri is suggesting it may be helpful for you. The gps can’t tell if you’re exactly in the store, above the store, or next to the store.

This method is far less invasive than relying on GPS, WiFi, and Bluetooth tracking to determine if you’re actually in the restaurant.

Your iPhone will learn your habits over time as the Siri recommendations are processed on device and not on Apples servers. You can remove Siri recommendations in widgets by holding down on it and turning the toggle off.

The company isn’t able to pay Apple to market its app to you via Siri suggestions so technically it’s not an advert but understandable that it appears that way!

Remember when they hid NSFW content from r/all and they said they would add a new filter that did contain the content?

Now you can't even select r/all from the drop down menu on their app. You have to open the sidebar, scroll all the way to the bottom, then select it. No way of setting it as the default. Classic algorithm push for advertisers.

I've actually had the exact opposite experience. My contact has been all sorts of buggy for years and the new Contact Card has been rock solid for me. Always interesting seeing the variations of bugs in beta/prod
