What’s even more annoying is they’ve built this feature into Apple TV and HomePod (it can “hand off” now playing and the queue to your iPhone) but it doesn’t work from my Mac? So annoying. This is the #1 feature I miss from Spotify
I disagree, I think HEVC has better overall compression quality than AV1. But it’s also wrapped up in licensing problems so AV1 can be more compatible especially if you’re using windows
I use my home countries credit card no problem! You may have to manually approve the international charge depending on your bank. Been doing it for over 5 years now, no issues yet. I use my primary account, although I don’t use any google services other than YT so I don’t care if my account gets suspended.
2$ a month is honestly very worth be not having to deal with sideloading and any of that, and having it be Ad-free on all my devices including my Apple TV is very worth the price. Also I can share it with 9 people
Adblocking on YouTube is an uphill battle, especially on mobile.
Sign up for a VPN trial, set it to a random country. I think I used Argentina or something. Sign up for YT premium, the prices will shock you. I pay ~2$ US a month for a family subscription.
Turn off your VPN, and enjoy YT premium on the cheap, in your native country.
I went 13 pro > 15 pro max and it is also my first time with AOD, I don’t have the behaviors you’re describing. Waking the phone works the same as my 13 (first tap wakes, second tap actions) unless it’s the home bar where I can now directly swipe even if the screen is asleep (underrated feature tbh). I also have no issues with my keyboard. You may have touch issues with your screen, might be worth looking into - do you have a screen protector?
I love people, always willing to commit to the bit
