New iOS update gets rid of green tint on some iPhone 11 devices

A month after Apple released version 13.6 update for iOS and iPadOS comes version 13.6.1, which fixes some issues on the platforms, including a green tint that's been appearing on some iPhone 11 devices. The cause is reportedly a thermal management issue and triggered by an earlier update (likely iOS 13.4). The update resolves a problem that disabled Exposure Notifications for some users. It also got rid of the issue where unneeded system data files weren't automatically deleted when available storage is low.

The update size is 110MB, and it should be available through Settings > General > Software Update, or a notification for the update has been sent your way. This iOS 13 update might be the last one we'll see as Apple is expected to drop iOS 14 next month.

Google Chrome 78 on iOS 13 now supports system-wide dark mode

Browsing through Chrome in the middle of the night on your iPhone will no longer burn your retinas. Version 78 of the browser now supports iOS 13's system-wide dark mode, which means if you have the feature enabled, Chrome will follow suit. However, Google's take on the dark theme isn't a real black background. Instead, it brings a grey background colour throughout the interface. Sites that support dark mode will change as well. 

Another change this update brings is the new card-like interface for sections like Bookmarks, History, Recent Tabs, Reading Lists, and Settings. These sections will slide up from the bottom when you pull them up, and you can swipe them away when you're done with them. Chrome now also lets you add a new credit card directly from the Settings page. This update is now available on the App Store.

Evernote now supports iOS 13's dark mode setting

Evernote already has Dark Mode built-in, but now the app supports iOS 13's system-wide Dark theme toggle. What this means is if you set your iPhone to the Dark theme (dark mode everywhere!), then Evernote will follow suit. When you open the app, it'll have a black background. 

The update for the cloud-based, note-taking app is now available from the App Store for the iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch (if necessity really calls for it).

The wait might not be too long until you can ask Siri to play music for you on Spotify. The streaming service is beta testing integration with iOS 13's SiriKit audio APIs, which will allow you to ask Siri to interact with the app. 

What the API will allow iOS users to do includes everything from playing artists or albums as well as theoretically manage playlists, like tracks, etc. The caveat is you will need to instruct Siri that you want the action done on Spotify, so the virtual assistant knows you want it to interact with this specific app.
