I have a question about HomeKit secure video, Apple One, and iCloud+.

I’m on the 200 GB Apple One family plan. As a result of installing iOS 15, I’ve been upgraded to iCloud+, and I can verify that Private Relay is working.

What Apple has said so far about iCloud+ subscription tiers led me to believe that on a 200 GB plan, I should be able to add a second security camera to record HomeKit secure video. However, every time I try to enable recording on the second camera, the Home app insists I can’t record on more than one camera with the plan I have.

Is this a bug, or have they simply not implemented this yet? Or do I have to purchase yet more storage on top of what I already have via Apple One, despite what Apple appears to have said about the number of cameras supported in iOS 15 on the 200 GB tier?

KEYBOARD REPLACEMENT:

Totally off thread but great news, my 2017 MBP qualified for a keyboard replacement, all I said was my space bar key stuck… now the good bit, the keyboard replaces the whole shell, track pad, Touch Bar and keyboard and battery. So not only do you get a new keyboard, but my MBP looks brand new and my battery is now new. Bonus! Cycle count is back to 1.

just wanted to pass that on for any Macbook owners out there. You have 4 years from purchase to make a case. 👍🏼

Yesir, I just did the same thing for my 2018 MBP. It was a bad battery though. Got it replaced 1 week before warranty expired. Win.

Do you have your Home hub on iOS 15? ATV or HomePod… that’s my guess, but don’t have cameras to test.
 
For some reason my Google search on safari won’t enter ‘dark mode’.

Tried on my iPad and no issues.

Is it just me, or is memory management in Safari terrible now? Lots of reloading.

3GB RAM iPad 7th gen and even with less than 20 tabs, every single one reloads. Lotsa crashing, too.

I'm hating the combo url/tab bar as well so I'm very glad I didn't install the beta on the primary iPads although no doubt the 16GB RAM on the 2021 iPP would come in handy. Shame since I'm finding tab group quite useful.
 
Not sure if it has been mentioned (as I didn't have time to search, so please don't grill me :)), but you just have to swipe down in Safari and it will reload. The reload button is redundant if you just have to swipe down.
To swipe down, you need to be at the top of the page.

so instead of clicking one refresh button, you might have to scrub up 12 pages, then swipe down to refresh.. seems backwards👍

Yeah 6gb on my iPhone 12 Pro Max, and I have even fewer tabs opened. I’m not too worried because it’s a beta, but I hope it’s fixed.
 
Private Relay keeps switching itself on automatically. I would prefer to keep it off for now, as it’s quite slow at the moment.
 
Does anyone know how to deactivate today screen view (left slide screen) on iPadOS 15?
Interesting: That toggle has been in several difference Settings (Touch ID & Passcode, Home Screen & Dock, etc.) over the years, but now I think you just swipe to the right from your Home Screen to show it, press on "Edit" until things jiggle, and then press the minus-button on the upper-left of each widget you want to remove—even if you remove them all.
 
PayPal app works for me…but, when I went to try it, it had to download since I guess I never use the app. Websites I buy from just purchase on the web based version.

But the app did download..:and opened…and everything looked normal on it.

Mine never loads.
