Alarm syncing on Apple Watch
Love the bedtime feature on my Apple Watch. When I set an alarm on my iPhone and check the bedtime face on the Watch it says “no alarm”. The watch vibrates when the alarm goes off so it’s definitely working. Just odd an alarm set on my iPhone doesn’t appear on the watch.

MagSafe Battery Packs by Charge Fast Quick Review
I’ve always wanted Apple to make these MagSafe portable batteries since announcing MagSafe with the iPhone 12. I’ve always used smart battery cases for years, so the idea of them adding removable portable battery’s to their silicone cases is really what I’ve been after. In the meantime, I found an article on 9to5Mac about these MagSafe batteries. I ordered one because it only cost £20 including shipping which you can’t go wrong.
As a quick review here are some points;
Build: Made of plastic, doesn’t feel premium but also doesn’t feel it would fall apart.
Magnets: They do stay in place well, better than I thought. It doesn’t fall off when I put in my pocket and paired with my 12 Pro adds a nice bit of curve to the back to hold more grippy.
Charging/ports: It features a USB C port for charging itself and other devices, at 20W (includes cable but no power brick). When used with my Apple 20W it fully charged the 5000Mah battery in about an hour. It has a normal USB port which charges at 10w. Lastly, it supports what it claims is 15W MagSafe wireless charging, through testing it seems to output about 9W which is the same as the reading I get from the official MagSafe charger which I have never seen actually charge at 15W even though it is the right charging plug. So fairly decent, though not as fast as a cable. When turning on via the button and attaching it to the back, it does the MagSafe animation for charging and the colour of the device (grey in this case) which I was surprised about. It charged a dead iPhone 12 Pro from 0-100% in the same time as MagSafe (3 hours ish) and had 25% battery left inside it (has led indicators)
Size and weight: It’s thicker than I thought it would be, it isn’t slim at all. It’s about 1.5x the thickness of the iPhone 12 itself. Though on the other hand it doesn’t feel very heavy at all and I like the weight it adds to the phone (sorry I can’t measure this I don’t have a scales).
Overall thoughts... it’s fine. For £20 I’ll buy another two and it will be good for my long walks and when life goes back to normal long days. The concept is brilliant, execution is.. well ok. It’s a cheap product, and Apple really needs to make this themselves (though will probably be a lot more), or at least a more reputable brand. It took 2 weeks to come from China which is fine for the price, though long term support probably doesn’t exist. It charges fine and lasts long enough, doesn’t look or feel like a premium product but for something you can quickly snap on its fine.
Do I recommended? Yes, only for the price and only until no alternatives are out there, then I will see.
Sorry if I didn’t cover much, ask away any questions, only had this for 3 days just wanted to share my thoughts.

Facebook says that Apple has removed the limit ad tracking feature with the latest iOS update
In the Ad preferences settings page in the Facebook app, it says:
“With the latest iOS update, Apple has removed the limit ad tracking privacy setting that you had turned on for your device. To respect your previous choice, we’re not showing you personalised ads based on data about your activity from partners. You can change this setting at any time”
Did Apple really remove this feature? I can’t believe that.

My step dad is falling into the Apple ecosystem and I’m loving every minute of it.
For years he was the biggest nay-sayer. Didn’t like anything Apple- even said he would buy my phone for me if I didn’t get iPhones. In spring, his work gave him an iPad. He started using it here and there and enjoyed it enough. This summer, he bought a Kona with CarPlay. He didn’t like Android CarPlay, (or whatever it’s called) so he bought an iPhone SE use specifically for his car. He loves it. I know he does. But he won’t admit it.
Tonight, he calls me and asks me to come over and help him with his new Laptop. He bought a brand new M1 MacBook Pro. He’s hooked, and I know it. This man went from hating anything Apple does, to owning almost only Apple products. His main phone is still an Android, but I think I can change that soon.
He’s the most stubborn person I’ve ever met, so I know he’ll never say that I’m right, but just watching him buy more and more Apple products fills me with joy. He was even happy about how the iCloud works with his iPad and his MacBook. He said “wow! It just works!” I think he’s got the point.

Desperately need help to recover my photos
I am currently sitting here sobbing, so please excuse any errors on my behalf.
I was trying to create space for the new Mac update, and in doing so I deleted my photos and then emptied the bin. I didn't realise that doing this would delete the photos from my phone as well.
​
Is there any way to get them back? They mean the world to me, they're the only images that I have of my dog who has since passed away, as well as photos of my Grandad who raised me and is currently ill. Not to mention all of the pictures that I have taken when travelling and living abroad.
Can anyone please, please help me to get them back. They are my most precious memories.
