iOS 26.3 Adds Notification Forwarding Option for Third-Party Wearables

iOS 26.3 Adds Notification Forwarding Option for Third-Party Wearables

iOS 26.3 adds a new "Notification Forwarding" setting that allows incoming notifications on an iPhone to be forwarded to a third-party device. The setting is located in the Notification section of the Settings app under a new "Notification Forwarding" option. Apple says that notifications can only be forwarded to a single device at a time, so if Notification Forwarding is enabled with a third-party wearable, the Apple Watch won't able to receive and display notifications. Users can choose to have a device receive notifications only from selected apps rather than all apps, and notifications will include the name of the app and all content contained in the notification. Apple is adding this feature to relieve worldwide regulatory pressure that it is facing. The Digital Markets Act in the European Union requires Apple to provide third-party smartwatches and other devices with access to notifications and features that are normally reserved for the Apple Watch. Apple's limited support of third-party devices has also been targeted by the U.S. Department of Justice in the antitrust case that Apple is fighting. The DoJ has accused Apple of preventing third-party smartwatches from offering Apple Watch-like functionality by restricting them from acting on incoming notifications. Apple has been working to address all of the accusations that the DoJ made in its lawsuit, and improving notifications on third-party wearables will give the DoJ less to point to in ongoing antitrust litigation.

Even Uber has an end-of-year wrap-up now

Even Uber has an end-of-year wrap-up now

End-of-year wrap-ups were popularized by Spotify , and these days you can look back on the last 12 months of listening with most of the music streaming apps , as well as your gaming and YouTube viewing habits. The next logical step? A full recap of all of the Uber trips and takeaways you’ve guiltily ordered this year, of course! Uber is calling its new wrap-up feature, which launches today, "YOUBER", and it takes into consideration both your Uber and Uber Eats usage. You can see where you went, how often you demanded Uber Comfort, and how frequently you returned to the same pizza place on Uber Eats. If you rank in the top one percent of a specific restaurant’s customers, YOUBER is going to tell you all about it, whether the realization fills you with shame or not. There are also 14 "Uber Personality Profiles" that you could be assigned, such as "Do-Gooder" for the Uber Electric loyalists, "Rise & Shiner" for the early morning riders, and "Delivery Darling" for those who "live for deliveries of all kinds." Uber lets you share your results straight from YOUBER using the "Share this Story" button from within the app. YOUBER is available to Uber and Uber Eats customers in the US from today, and can be accessed from your homescreen or account page.
