Blood Oxygen is back on Apple Watch devices!
Update iPhone to iOS 18.6.1 and Apple Watch to watchOS 11.6.1, run a test in the ECG app, and then you'll be able to manually take Blood Oxygen readings on your watch; results are only available in Apple Health on iPhone

It’s incredibly remarkable how influential G-Dragon’s catalog has been over the years. To be able to not just put out excellent music but also to set trends through very different social contexts is truly impressive. There’s no way he doesn’t deserve a spot in the 🐐 conversation

Many if not most people use KakaoTalk for both personal and also professional or academic purposes - and it would be great to see support for Focus Modes on iOS
Imagine hiding work chats when not in the Focus Mode for Work, or muting friends' group chats when Fitness is enabled:

KakaoTalk is available in a wide variety of languages, but sometimes it's clear that the visuals were optimized for Korean. Here is an example of an easy fix I would like to see for English-language users:

KakaoTalk is convenient, but sadly it's not that secure. It would be great if they caught up to other chat apps with end-to-end encryption for all forms of communication

KakaoTalk has two entries in the App Store: one for the iPhone/iPad/Apple Watch app and one for the Mac app. This causes inconsistencies across the Apple ecosystem.
Please, Kakao - create a single universal app across all platforms:

KakaoTalk on my wife's phone always shows 999 unread messages because the app groups OpenChat as well as regular chat messages together.
C'mon KakaoTalk - let us optionally separate these numbers! The unread badge counter is basically pointless for her 💀

Most people likely have some form of health care documentation that is not in an electronic format compatible with Apple Health.

Once upon a time, Apple Books on Mac allowed users to edit all sorts of metadata. But in recent iterations of macOS, they have only permitted users to edit title, author, and cover art - but only for .EPUB files.

If you have a recurring alarm on HomePods but forget to disable it when you're on vacation, what do you do?
There's no simple way that I know of to remotely silence a HomePod.
My suggestion? A simple "Stop All Current Sound" button for the HomePod sheet in the Home app:
