Reply to Mail App Notifications by NYsloth

>Is it possible to get notifications on a locked home screen when receiving emails? I’ve tried everything I could find online.

It should work as long as you have Lock Screen enabled in the mail notification settings. iOS 16 really messed up notifications for me though, and my mail notifications rarely show on the lock screen anymore. It's a real nuisance.

>Talked to one Apple advisor who told me to update and then it should work. It didn’t.

It should work, but it doesn't always work because of the changes Apple made in iOS 16. They broke notifications.

​

>Talked to another one today who said that the Mail app is not supposed to have notifications like other apps?

That person is incompetent and needs to be fired.

Hmm, not sure about the default email app. But, with Outlook app, am pretty sure I get notifications about new emails on a locked screen.

However, it has been a few months now where I turned off notifications for emails, and simply have the badge icon only. To me, email is not as important as it used to be :)

I am thinking about the same thing! Albeit, going from an iPhone 12 Pro Max, to a 14 Pro. And, I have the same concerns...

Reply to With 2022 over soon, what were your favorites iOS apps of this year? by StephaneCJ

The App Store has gotten so bland in the last 5-8 years that I barely ever try out new apps.. the list never really changes. Once the most prominent social media giants got cemented into the world, not many exciting apps came after that.. Don’t even get me started on games.. idk it might just be that apps don’t have the same excitement they used to bring us when apps were still a new thing to us, but just seems like nothing creative or fun has been created since. I only have like 20 apps on my last 5-6 iPhones and they are all present in my backups the entire time so never anything new. I’ve tried a couple games or apps here and there but only ever used them once and then never again.. I wish app and game developers would start coming out with cooler stuff again.

I also wish that game developers for the big Gaming Console level games would make their games available for iPhone and iPad.. iPhones now a days are just as powerful as a Nintendo switch if not even more powerful than that.. they are capable of playing big AAA level game titles and can even take advantage of controller support.. they’re missing out on a BIG BIG market.. everyone has a smart phone.. imagine being able to play full size main stream games on the device in your pocket.. it would beat any handheld gaming console to ever exist.. end rant. I want better apps and games man.. 😅😂

Reply to comment by dalahnar_kohlyn in This is one of the best iOS 16 features. The amount of spam/scam messages I receive have gone down a lot. by MrYeetFeet69

I’ve had occasion to use it twice and if I recall correctly the report goes to Apple. I don’t recall what they do with the information but I doubt that it involves sending in the heavies or other forms of violence. On both occasions my unsolicited messages were pile-of-shit scamming or phishing attempts.
