 Delightful early morning at the UW Quad today to see the cherry blossoms. 🌸 (Now in desperate need of more ☕.)

 Apple Watch question for owners of a Series 9 or Ultra 2 with built-in UWB (ultra wide band) chip: does the Find Items app give you the precision finding option to locate, say, an AirTag? Apple has said only that it works when using the Ping iPhone feature in Control Center. It appears the answer is no, but if anyone has a new watch (I still have my Series 8), I'd appreciate a quick test. Thanks!

 I need a combo MagSafe iPhone stand and Apple Watch stand without AirPods charging for compactnes... 
 @bb1a99d2 You've seen this? Compact (though you can also do AirPods charging) https://www.anker.com/products/y1811?ref=naviMenu&discount=WSCPZSVIBC&variant=42206465327254 
 watchOS/iOS 17 bug? I have a morning alarm set to wake me up, and sleep with my watch on during the night. With the watch and iPhone both set to mute, the watch buzzes to wake me up (i.e., not waking up my wife with a loud alarm). But since the new OSes, the phone now blares its audible alarm. What am I missing? Anyone else seeing this? I feel like I've tried everything. 
 This is a personal project I've been working on for years, and I'm excited to announce it's now live!
