It appears that there's no way in Shortcuts to turn "Ask Reason for Calling" on/off: choices are either "Never" (Off) or "Silence" (On).

This kinda sucks because the screening feature is something I rely on, and I have an automation that turns off "Never" after midnight on those days where I enable it for an expected call from a non-contact number.

Am I missing something here?

 Tapestry 1.10 is out and includes some great new features like easy backup to keep your data safe, Open In support for Indigo & tons of improvements to text rendering & performance.

New/returning customers can get 3 months of Tapestry for roughly 50% off the normal price using this code: https://apps.apple.com/redeem?ctx=offercodes&id=6448078074&code=30YEARS for a limited time.

Oh - while working on Tapestry 1.10 and hunting a CloudKit sync issue, I discovered that while Apple documents a max CKRecord size (not including CKAsset) of ~1MB, and a max number of 400 records per batch request, what they don't seem to mention (or at least I couldn't find anywhere), is that the total size of *all records combined within a single batch request* can't exceed ~5MB!

So I had to change my batching logic to take into account total size and not just total records.

Fun times.

I just submitted my comments. Look at the plans and renderings and you'll have your own comments 😉

My bank, brokerage, insurance, and credit card company:

“Oh shit.”

Not to worry. The market will be rewarding Apple for its careful approach to AI soon enough.
