Works via maps, when you disconnect from the car it sticks a pin where it is.

Apologies, wrong link.

Here's one from 2016 about Apple's version;

I have the choice between an iPhone 7 256GB in Matte Black or an iPhone 7 Plus 256GB in Gold.

Not sure which to go for.

Pint · Sep 14, 2016

Hmmm well I drove to work this morning, the feature is enabled in the settings, car is always paired to phone with Bluetooth.

Do you have to have the map app running in order for this to wrk?

I got nothing and this is a screenshot of where I am. Nothing showing where my car is.

botfch · Sep 14, 2016

Hmm, try making a few phone calls through the bluetooth and see if it works, also frequent locations needs to be on under privacy.

Matte black

Mines definitely not working.

Rebooted my phone, erased the car as a Bluetooth device and re paired. Made several phone calls via Bluetooth in the car.

Still doesn't work.

Wtf. It's now come up on my map as parked car. No idea. [emoji23][emoji23]

If it's not on, you have to click the home button twice to unlock the phone.

Mine is switched off and I don't have to? I have literally just updated so maybe this was an error that was fixed!

Has anyone that's ordered from Vodafone heard anything about delivery yet?

I've tracked my order here https://www.vodafone.co.uk/shop/existing-customers/track-my-order/ but it's still sat on stage 2 of 4

The Mrs hasn't heard a peep apart from it being confirmed on order day.

If you lock it then unlock it you only need one click, but if it's left a while you do have to double click.

Chrisgti6 · Sep 15, 2016

I might give them a call then, see what's going on.

Herr Flick · Sep 15, 2016

I had a text this morning from apple saying it will be delivered tomorrow. Shame it's the one I don't want.

_Tom · Sep 15, 2016

Lisa gets hers tomorrow. I haven't had a iphone in years but quite excited to have a look. It will be between a 7 plus or note 7 for me.

R3k1355 · Sep 15, 2016

The Note? the same phone that keeps burning peoples houses down when it's battery explodes?

I'd take the iphone personally.

Well of course that issue will be sorted soon. We haven't seen if the iphone has any features which haven't been advertised yet..

Brad Smith · Sep 15, 2016

I have one on order but won't be here till first week of October and I'm going on holiday Sunday so would like it for then really as ATM I have no phone. What are the chances of walking in tomorrow and getting one ? I know there's usually ridiculous queues but won't be going in till about 10/11 if I phoned up would they tell me how much stock they had ?

R3k1355 · Sep 15, 2016

Worth a shot, but don't be surprised if they don't give you a straight answer and basically tell you to come down the store and try your luck.

Ocrlew · Sep 15, 2016

im getting mine tomorrow from store! 8 am it opens il be waiting haha

Ocrlew · Sep 15, 2016

its by design, one click to bring up the info centre and camera, then a second press if you actually want to go into the phone.

This is because there is much more functionality from the lock screen now, so you might not want to actually go into the phone immediately.

Bubbles · Sep 15, 2016

I use maps quite a lot and was reading all your comments yesterday about the parked car feature.

Then when I got home my phone notified me about where my car was parked lol - other half mentioned something interesting though.. what happens in a multi story car park

Do you have your home address set up in your phone? It should ignore you being parked when at home.

Your iPhone does height so it could potentially tell you how high up it is

Still no idea what this feature is or isnt. I hit the home button the same way as before the update and boom. I'm in. My is selected off and nothing has changed?

Do apple maps have traffic on them now? Will it tell you if there's likely delays on route home etc

It's always done that for me.
As soon as I get in a car, it will tell me how long it will take and what sort of traffic there is.

eugegall · Sep 15, 2016

You now can't flick a notification away at the top of the screen. Thats annoying.

Excellent. I haven't had a iphone for years but tempted to return. When I had one it didn't do this.
It's one of the features I like about my android phone. It's worked out when I tend to leave for work and if there is delays on route home it will alert me before I leave. Sounds like apple have this in the bag now though. Another plus point.

Same as the iphone. It just see's regular driving patterns. (work/gym and home) and does it. It's really good to be fair.

All iphones are delivered by DPD. Lisa works for them and can see hers is out tomorrow so I suspect your wifes will be too. :wink:

How do you make it do this? Or does your car have to have Bluetooth?
