One of the challenges of a testing device is getting content onto it to try out new features. I wanted to test out the new automatic live activities on watchOS 11 which need something playing on your iPhone. This is where Bono gives me a helping hand...all my testing devices have exactly one album always preloaded. 🤪

@_Davidsmith that’s going to ruin your ‘add to this playlist’ suggestions

@_Davidsmith how do I get the widget screen to show a digital time instead of analog?
Show threadDavid SmithJun 17, 2024
@robbyburns That will mirror whatever your current watch face is set to. So if you have an analog watch face it shows analog, digital then digital.

@_Davidsmith that makes sense! I alternate Infograph and Siri watch face. (Siri watch face doesn’t work with widgets so I never see digital time on there)

@_Davidsmith and even if you delete that album you know it will come back. 😖

My mother is quite conservative. That album haunts her regularly. On her phone, iPad, in her car.

It’s genuinely distressing to her. I try to help, and try not to laugh too hard…. 🙃

@dunks @_Davidsmith lol. I've heard the only way to truly be rid of it is via a lengthy call to support. I'm not willing to do that!

@_Davidsmith Oh, that analog time on the Smart Stack looks much nicer than watchOS 10. No seconds I guess, but I would never need that when looking at the stack.

@_Davidsmith That’s “The Miracle” of modern Apple devices that were designed in “California”. They come with a “Song for Someone”, and that someone is you. And when everything works in your testing, you will “Sleep Like a Baby Tonight”.
