Wouldn't this reduce sales for Grammerly? If Apple packs the same feature for every application in iOS, it is kinda cool.

Private Cloud - Isn't this what Amazon did with their tablet - Fire? What is the difference with Apple Private Cloud?

> The phenomenon of Apple releasing a feature that supplants or obviates third-party software is so well known that being Sherlocked has become an accepted term used within the Mac and iOS developer community.[2][3][4]


1Password too.


Well, the Passwords app is just the Passwords section in Settings moved out into its own app. It already exists on Windows, too, but maybe they are updating it to allow autofill without using a Chrome extension or add other features. It isn't the biggest change, just bringing attention to an existing feature that already competes with 1Password et al.


It would be good if they add support for third-party browsers. Bitwarden (or other apps) can feel clunky sometimes compared to Keychain / Passwords.


Which browser are you using?

I switched to Apple Passwords and have been using the official Chrome extension for a few months. It's not as seamless as some of the password manager extensions, but has been working well enough.

After years and years of annoying ads, Grammarly taking a hit is the least they deserve


Agreed! I'm happy to not have to hear about them anymore.


Grammarly is great example of the classic adage, "a feature, not a product".


TBH I'd say the same about Notion.

There's a term for that, it's called being Sherlocked: https://www.howtogeek.com/297651/what-does-it-mean-when-a-co...


How many use Grammerly on a Mac exclusively? My guess is that most of their accounts are students through schools and companies. But yeah, there is a risk in any business that a better competitor comes along.


It jumped out to me that I had to highlight and ask it to check my grammar, rather than have it be an automatic process.

I don't use Grammarly, really, but I think at least that one is more automatic?


I would not bet on Grammerly's future.
