@_Davidsmith Wanted to give you huge props on Pedometer++!

On a whim, I downloaded the app in a diner right before I took a camping trip. It installed to my phone and Apple Watch in no time and I had offline trails ready to go in only a couple minutes.

The trail map on my watch was so helpful.

As someone very familiar with Apple Watch limitations this really blew me away. Amazing work!

@atpfm (Potential follow-up) I have also noticed HomePod and iOS interop improving recently!

When my phone timer goes off I often use Siri to tell it to stop. In the past, my HomePod would say “Stop the timer on iPhone?”

When I said “Yes”, it’d pause and say “I thought so” and the timer continued.

Now it actually works! Progress!

Can an #Apple person or someone in the community help? How and why can a *blocked* contact spam your Messages with group invites (and even set the group name to any random string they want)?

This kind of abuse dates back as far as 4 years ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/ios/comments/ufv9m5/i_blocked_someone_and_they_can_still_add_me_to/

AFAIK there's no Screen Time, Messages, or Contacts setting that can prevent this from happening.

Wow, if you aren’t an @atpfm listener I’d *highly* recommend the most recent episode where @marcoarment talks about how he setup a dedicated Mac Mini server setup to perform @overcastfm transcriptions! What an amazing behind-the-scenes explanation.
