The Deliveries app could send parcel trackers panicking.
On Monday, September 11, the Deliveries app was updated to version 9.5, which now means the app no longer has support for UPS tracking.
This is how the developers, Junecloud, explained the changes with UPS package tracking:
“UPS tracking information is no longer available in the app. You can now manually enter a delivery date for UPS shipments, and you’ll get a notification on the delivery date at 9AM as a reminder. You will need to use the “view details online” button to check the status.”
You can see the rest of the updates in Deliveries 9.5 here too.
Junecloud explained last year that its app will see changes this year and coming years due to how other services change the way they enable customers to view package tracking information.
“Many things have changed over the years, and unfortunately we’re no longer able to maintain the same service that so many of you have come to rely on. Deliveries relies on many different shipping companies, and without their help it’s not possible for the app to continue working the way you expect…It’s likely that over time, more services in Deliveries will no longer show tracking information directly in the app. You won’t see the delivery date, the map route, or any of the details, and you won’t get notifications about changes to the status. You will need to use the “View Online” button to see your tracking information on the shipping company’s web site.”
Deliveries does cost $0.99 a month or $4.99 a year and is available on the iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Mac.
