Content Philosophy
Content which benefits the community (news, rumors, and discussions) is valued over content which benefits only the individual (technical questions, help buying/selling, rants, etc.). This fundamental difference in audience is why we support two communities, r/Apple and r/AppleHelp. If you'd like to view their content together, click here.

FINALLY!! I have found the fix for the infamous "contact photos not staying as I have cropped them"
You know how youll set a contact photo (not poster) for a friend.. so that their little text bubble in your message folder has their face on it... but it ALWAYS reverts right back to like.. the middle of their body.. well look no further... The answer is here! Apple doesnt even suggest checking this... sheesh..
Its so simple! You probably have your google linked to your phone... If you log in on icloud.com youll notice A LOT of your contacts dont show up and this is because they are saved to your google and not your icloud.. you need to go on google and export ALL YOUR CONTACTS...(select the 3rd option that mentions iphone or ios after you click export) THEN you need to log in on icloud.com and then IMPORT that download file. after youve done this.. go to the settings on your iphone.. then contacts... then accounts... click your gmail or google account.. either delete it entirely OR just untick the contacts slider... BOOM! YOUR DONE! after years of dealing with this horse crap and so many useless google searches and apple literally offering NO HELP AT ALL... its as simple as that... Thank goodness the nightmare has ended...
