That is both interesting to know, and annoying to deal with. I’m thankful I haven’t switched back over to Apple mail as my primary mail app, as I Intend to do. I’m still using Spark. I want to switch back for the sake of privacy, since Spark downloads and looks at all mail. Ignoring that, their app is pretty great and has made it hard to stop using.
Got a tip for us?

I have found image playground doesn’t give a damn what photo you use when it comes to dogs, it will generate a “dog”. It probably won’t be your dog, but it’s a dog. This annoys me since dogs are part of the family and recognized by name in photos. I hope image playground gives our fur family the same treatment our human family gets.
Same with my Black Tri Aussie. Just generates a generic dog after giving image playground a picture. Most times it generates what looks like some type of lab. Only way I can get it to generate an Aussie is to type in Australian Shepherd, and then it’s still a generic aussie. Honestly, the main thing I looked forward to with image playground was making goofy images of my dog. Sadly, it’s not there yet.Still can’t recreate my dog in image playground. She is a white staffy with a black patch over one eye. I always get a generic dog with a patch over both eyes.

But if you use words to describe it, it can figure it out.
The above was the result of the prompt “brown cocker spaniel poodle mix” and it’s a pretty close approximation to my little guy. ( “Cockapoo” is apparently a foreign language word.
)What’s weird is that Apple’s own Lookup feature in Photos recognizes the dog type from an image (more or less) for this breed. So you’d think that that would be the starting off point for image generation.
All of this goes to show that this technology is still in the process of being developed. At the end of the day it’s not a big deal. Hopefully it will improve over time.
But definitely, Playground likes cats better (my British shorthair fits well)
So all we want Image Playground for is cartoons of our dogs. (Me included.)
Image playground is, at best, a work in progress. I have never been able to have it make any sort of a decent version of any photo I put in. It’s also weird that it will only do the top half of a persons body. No wide angle shots or scenery or anything.
There’s a very good reason for your last issue. Your screen name provides a hint as to what it might be.
I was going to say they had Pam to do quality control 😂
Is the oversaturation in app switcher fixed? This alone would make me install the beta..
Send a text using dictation and it’ll change back. The icon changes to whatever you last used.
Yep, Mail is still borked.
Badge says A, Update says B, Manual Refresh says C. iCloud mail differs between iPhone, iPad, and MBP. Updating Mail (read, delete, refill, etc) on one device usually doesn’t auto update on the others.
iPhone and AWU are both on beta. Notifications are mostly missing on the AWU.
Siri is still giving me the screen ring randomly when unlocking.
Calendar widget can take a long time to update, if it does. Same issue with Outlook calendar.
Spell and Grammar check still both suck.

In my experience all widgets take an absolute age to update and always have since their half-arsed inception. They are a complete and utter waste of time and I don’t get why they are so slow (battery I’m sure would be the response)!
