How do I turn off these little numbers on the notifications? They look AWFUL!

maique :hello_kitty:

Thank you!

Andy Carolan :prami:

@maique lol, Alt Bot got here quicker than I could

I was going to ask what app/service this was.

maique :hello_kitty:

@andycarolan First one is “my” newspaper, Público, then Bluesky/Guardian.

@andycarolan @maique in iOS 18.1, which came out today, now the notifications have numbers for how many there are from that app

Andy Carolan :prami:

@maique Is that on iOS though? Just wondering where those notifs are appearing

Andy Carolan :prami:

@jglypt @maique Oh, right sorry... I didn't know that.

I have only just set my phone to update lol

@andycarolan @maique haha it’s really new so nws

fair it also has a lot of apple intelligence stuff in today’s update

maique :hello_kitty:

@andycarolan iOS, yes. 18.1, I just cropped it to show the numbers more clearly

Andy Carolan :prami:

@jglypt @maique I won’t see any of the Apple Intelligence stuff on my current iPhone, it's the XR. Due to upgrade it in the next few weeks.

maique :hello_kitty:

@andycarolan Not sure if I’ll get them as well. A mix of 13 Pro, and EU country, we might not get it until much MUCH later

@andycarolan @maique yeah you won’t. Although interestingly, my iPhone SE 2 has the “Reduce Interruptions” focus mode since my Mac mini is an Apple Silicon one, I think it just used that processing power, which is interesting. but yeah, I don’t have any of the other AI stuff.

Andy Carolan :prami:

@maique I was under the impression that the Apple Int stuff will only be coming to the 16 and 16Pro? I'm probably completely wrong lol. @jglypt

@andycarolan @maique yeah so the Apple Intelligence features work on any Apple Silicon iPad & Mac & the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max + all iPhone 16s (base models included).

maique :hello_kitty:

@andycarolan @jglypt Thanks. No worries, not in a rush to update. Phone would be nice, I guess, but not too sad I won’t get the AI stuff.

Andy Carolan :prami:

@jglypt Hmm, that's interesting. I know off topic a bit, but I've been enjoying iPhone mirroring on MacOS Sequoia/iOS18. It's brought a whole new dimension to Pokémon Go @maique

@andycarolan @maique yeah iPhone mirroring is honestly one of my most used parts of this update, I think even a year from now I can see myself using this more than the Apple Intelligence stuff, even if less exciting haha

Andy Carolan :prami:

@jglypt It's sooooo useful. I keep going to grab my phone to do something, then remembering at the last moment, and opening it on the desktop instead lol @maique

@andycarolan @maique haha same

Andy Carolan :prami:

@jglypt I'm part of the way there... silicon mac and iPad... but ancient phone and prehistoric series 3 apple watch haha @maique

@andycarolan @maique haha yeah my only current supported device is my Mac mini, but I think I’ be upgrading to a base 16 in a few months…
