Some of the smaller updates will be a nice QOL bump for me:
> For easier and more secure password and passkeys sharing, users can share passwords with a group of trusted contacts. Everyone in the group can add and edit passwords to keep them up to date. Since sharing is through iCloud Keychain, it’s end-to-end encrypted.
>Maps adds offline maps, so users can download a specific area and access turn-by-turn navigation, see their estimated time of arrival, find places in Maps, and more while offline. Maps also makes it easier than ever to discover thousands of trails in parks across the United States, and supports electric vehicle drivers with real-time charging availability information.
>AirTag can be shared with up to five other people, allowing friends and family to keep track of an item in Find My. Everyone in a group will be able to see an item’s location, play a sound, and use Precision Finding to help pinpoint the location of a shared AirTag when nearby. This also works with all other Find My network accessories.

- rootusrootus 3y agoShared passwords/passkeys comes pretty close to eliminating my need for a 1Password subscription. But it kinda depends on what other login-associated details Apple lets you put together with the password.

Apple and Alphabet/Google as authors.

- guestbest 3y agoThe offline mapping is huge since I went to big bend national park in texas and rerouting in one of the massive areas without a network would get a precise location using GPS on a black map that couldn’t download. Also, I make sure to have a full tank of gas in the desert as the next gas station may be 90 miles away

- paxys 3y agoGoogle Maps has had offline maps support on iOS/Android for at least a decade now.
- shocks 3y agoYeah but navigation requires internet. I drove through Death Valley and thought I was super smart by pre-downloading the whole area…
- perfectstorm 3y agothat's not true. it can navigate without internet as long as you have downloaded the maps ahead of time. i have definitely used it in a few parks including Death valley NP and it worked fine. maybe your download got corrupted somehow or expired?
- iamthepieman 3y agoNot if the entire area is within the downloaded map. I've been using google maps this way for a while now since I live in a rural area without solid coverage.
- shocks 3y agoMaybe because the drive was long (Vegas to Bakersfield) and covered multiple downloaded areas?
- pkulak 3y ago> AirTag can be shared with up to five other people Finally! Every time either me or my wife goes out of town we have to remove the luggage airtags from one account and add them back in to the other one. When my kid leaves his jacket somewhere at school, only his phone can find it. Super annoying.
- bsimpson 3y agoNetflix: We're coming for your shared accounts. Apple: And here's how you can securely share those passwords.
- m463 3y agoHow does netflix notice a shared account anyway? Is it just two devices accessing the same profile? how does it handle legitimate scenarios like the kid away at college or someone traveling?
- runjake 3y agoWell, Netflix used to have a page[1] that specified how, but it's since been dumbed down. It used to say it uses a combination of IP addresses (and geoip), device IDs, and account activity from devices signed into your Netflix account. 1. https://help.netflix.com/en/node/123277 https://help.netflix.com/en/node/123277
- rodgerd 3y agoCredential sharing is a huge QoL improvement in an ordinary-folks kind of way, and very pleasing. Now if only the Contacts team would do the same.
- gigel82 3y ago> users can share passwords with a group of trusted contacts Such as the FBI and the Chinese Government! It's end-to-end encrypted, and the encryption key is safely stored in the same data center for authorities to use. No thanks, I'll stick to my self-hosted VaultWarden.
