So, you still can't disable the pointless and annoying "message sent" tone in iMessage.

#153"Powerful Updates to Messages", lol. Apple hasn't put an ounce of power into messaging. It's been 10 years, and they haven't innovated at all in the message space in any meaningful way (no, Memoji is not a meaningful extension of the messaging space). It's sad to see the lack of energy to actually create powerful and useful software, rather than to doing the bare minimum to compete in the smartphone market.
I just want to disable the pointless "message sent" tone in iMessage.
Re: iOS 14 is available today
#154No sign of it here yet. I’m curious if it fixed some of the unpleasant behaviour and bugs that were never fixed in iOS 13. Things like Mail not displaying new emails properly unless your went out and back into the mailbox. The keyboard autocorrecting to random names aggressively and inserting capital letters if you dare move the cursor. All new behaviours introduced with iOS 13 that adversely affect the user experien…

Holy shit how many times has my phone thought I was trying to say "Amit" instead of "about"? It's not like there's even anyone named Amit in my contacts.

I still haven't upgraded to macOS Catalina (first time I've not upgraded macOS). I just don't have half a day to spare with whatever weird stuff it's going to break.
The only thing that broke for me with Catalina was a single symlink on my work laptop. Aside from that (fixing it was just issuing a single command and restarting), I had no issues. On the other hand, there were no notable features to upgrade for.
I upgraded to Catalina so I could mute email threads in Mail.app.

iMessage (blue bubble) conversations are fairly good and well-featured, but I wish they would bring some kind of improvements to SMS text messages (green bubbles).
I wonder how much of it is competitive advantage to push people to switch to iOS vs. Apple executives literally never texting people with Android phones.

What's something you wish existed/suggest?
A couple things I would love to see in iMessage having used WhatsApp as my primary messaging app for the past several years: (1) Direct replying/quoting to a specific message. (2) More granular group chat controls (eg ability to add/remove/leave group message threads. (3) Ability to rename group chats so that I don't have 3 chat threads that contain the same first two people plus someone else
Seems like (1) is included in iOS 14?
“Inline replies You can reply directly to a specific message in a group conversation. See all related messages in their own view to easily keep track of a thread.”

re 3: Renaming group chats has been a feature for a few years now

I've kept my phone on silent via the physical toggle switch for the last four years and it's been a real game changer. I'm still notified via vibrations but receive zero audible notifications. It seems very odd at first but I'd have it no other way at this point.
Re: iOS 14 is available today
#160I'm not touching that update with a 10 foot pole. Not until it's been live for at least a week, and developers have had a chance to actually update their apps for it! Honestly, that's just good policy on all Apple updates lately. It seems that more and more of them have been plagued with issues and are trailed by hotfixes. I've learned to just wait a while. Other people can be the test guinea pigs!
I've been using the Developer Betas since the first announcement and have had only a handful of minor issues (like my Bank erroneously thinking my device was jailbroken).
I think it's probably one of the more stable iOS releases I've seen.
