Clicking through the links in his article, I came across a guy who apparently did the same thing at Apple - he introduced the "auto remove" feature for expired passes added to your wallet, then promptly quit. I had no idea that's how that feature came about, but now I'm going to send a little mental thank you to him every time I get off a plane. That shit was FRUSTRATING.

That reminds me, I need to apply for a job on whichever team hasn’t added a toggle to remove contact names from the autocorrect dictionary…

		Crazy because I remember that the first few iPhone OS versions had really bad autocorrect dictionaries, especially for German. The workaround for that was to make contacts for missing words because contact names never got marked as misspelled.

Oh wow. Guess I need to get a job at Apple just to add a `Mark all as read` button to voicemails.

I need to get a job at Apple to stop “omw”-> “On my way!” (Complete with the `!`) from reappearing in my Text Replacements every month or two, no matter how many times I delete it.

(Try typing “I’m omw to the car” or something to see how annoying this is)

		Apparently the current state of the art to fix this problem is to remove it and add an "omw" → "omw" text replacement in its stead. A friend recommended this to me and I haven't had problems with it since. Yes, it's nuts, but it is what it is.

And the ability to undo deleting voicemails. And record voicemails client side using AI transcription to deliver thnesss

		Meant to say “to deliver the same experience as Visual Voicemail” but accidentally posted it from my pocket before I could finish writing it out.

This still didn't work reliably, unfortunately. I still have expired passes, tickets etc. in my wallet

Personally I don’t see why you would want to delete these expired passes. For the longest time they haven’t shown up alongside active passes.

		> For the longest time they haven’t shown up alongside active passes. They have always shown up for me, and the only way to delete them is from the wallet app. Note: from the app. You can't delete it from convenient screen where you access them

Hotz said this, but I couldn't find any actual evidence so didn't include it.
