Tethering is totally broken on my iPhone 17 Pro.

It might be the 26.1 beta it's running, but it’s completely unreliable. Frequently loses all connectivity until the phone is rebooted.

I've been spoiled all summer by how amazing it was with Tahoe's auto-connection to my 16 Pro (as it almost melted through the train seat).

Shout out to one thing that got much nicer recently:

Music.app on iOS not only remembers the song you were playing through a termination or iPhone reboot, but it even resumes from the timestamp you left it at!

@marcoarment Total opposite here. Music.app is the one app giving me the most trouble. Won't BT to my car for more than a minute. Song keeps playing, just can't hear it. And then nothing makes any sound without restarting my car. Ugh. (FWIW, OC works great.)

@marcintosh @marcoarment Wait, getting the Music app working again requires restarting your entire *car*? (I mean, I suppose there’s no good way to restart just the entertainment system, but still, that’s absolutely ridiculous.)

@alextm @marcoarment Nothing gets the Music app working again. It fails every time. I have to restart to get -Bluetooth- to work again. I’m still not convinced the stereo isn’t the problem, that somehow it updated, but Music is the only app that triggers it - audiobooks, podcasts, even YouTube all work fine. So frustrating.
