Episode notes
Home Screen Customization
- iOS and iPadOS users can now customize home screens with spaces and dark mode icons.
- This offers more aesthetic control, but may also lead to "ugly" home screen designs.
App Privacy

- This feature enhances privacy when sharing your device and is protected by Face ID/Touch ID/Passcode.
Journal App Limitations
