Sos bug?

So my girlfriend just upgraded her phone from iPhone 13pro max to the 16pro max and switched carriers from AT&T to T-Mobile. Ever since she got the phone it always goes into sos mode, the only way to get out of it is to restart the phone. I don’t believe it’s related to T-mobile because I have the iPhone 14pro max on T-Mobile and never ran into this issue… so I’m wondering if it’s something wrong with the phone and if so is there something I can do about it. ( this happens 3-5 a day no joke)

I can’t swipe off from the bottom anymore?

Generally when using my iPhone 11 I’ll come off apps by swiping upwards from the bottom of the screen, generally from the bar at the bottom (circled in image for reference)

However I have been unable to swipe off from that part for the past couple hours and it almost seems to have ceased functionality.

Is this a common bug or glitch? I can’t see any sort of fix

How to remove trace of deleted app

I had my iPhone on iOS 16, jailbroke with a modded Facebook app. I removed jailbreak and updated to iOS 18. Facebook wouldn’t open, so I deleted and downloaded stock from App Store. It try’s to install but ends with cloud logo like unable to install. I’d rather not have to factory reset my phone. Any way to wipe old Facebook app, rebooting, trying different Apple ID hasn’t helped.

What do you think is next for iOS?

What do you think is next for iOS on iPhones, iPads, etc?

We’re seeing apple make small-medium sized strides in multiple directions such as security, software, privacy, app development, app design, etc.

What do you guys think will be the next big step for Apple in terms of their software, ecosystem, etc?

Slow issue just for me?

After upgrading my iPhone 13 to iOS 18, the game performance became terrible, with graphics dropping to less than 20 FPS. Is the management pushing developers to add “weird”features to the firmware again?

Let me preface this with an apology if this has been asked/solved before, but ever since the iOS18 update, I and many others lost the ESPN widget.

I loved being able to swipe and see the scores/schedule for my favorite teams in an instant. But there hasn’t been a suitable substitute, even with Apple’s own sports app… The extra 30 seconds it takes me to get the information isn’t a big deal, but it’s nice when you need it on the fly. Thanks

Siri Suggestion problems with Mail

I've had this problem for over a year. It start mid summer last year with iOS17 and continues with iOS18. Calendar doesn't suggest to add Calendar events from emails anymore. First Siri stopped suggesting events from Ticketmaster, then flights and then hotels. Even if I get a simple email with day, date and time nothing. In blue moon Siri will make a suggestion in Calendar.

I also noticed another bug. If I ask Siri to read an email not only does it not read the email that's open, it pulls up a list of the last five "unread" emails at starts reading the subject line. The problem those emails were deleted two to four weeks ago (and the trash emptied). Siri must have a cache somewhere with the headers because those emails don't exist anymore. Can this be cleared or reset?

Never understood why Auto-Brightness was moved here…

I remember (many years and iOS/iPadOS versions ago) that Auto-Brightness used to be found under “Display & Brightness” under the main settings menu. But, for the life of me, I can’t figure out why it was ever moved. Frustrates me because sometimes the display brightness gets wonky and doesn’t auto adjust as it should…to reset it, you have to toggle off and on the auto-brightness switch to kind of reset it.

I WILL, however, agree that it DOES belong under accessibility features. Why not also put it, oh I don’t know, UNDER THE MENU NAMED “DISPLAY & BRIGHTNESS”? 😂

Hell, if they removed it from the main menu due to idiots accidentally or unknowingly turning it off, then throw it under “Display & Brightness > Advanced”…I mean damn.

Is there some logic to Apple having removed it years ago that I’m not seeing?

Why can’t you place apps where you want in the group

So on my phone I like to have everything organised and it to preferably be on one page and the another page just for wingers and my calendar so on my main page I have apps in specific places so it’s I easier to reach with my thumb when I use one hand and what not but I just realise you can put apps where you want on the home page but not in the groups which I find very dumb because a massive point of iOS 18 was to do that so why not in groups like come on apple do better

Apple Intelligence has been Awesome!!

I’ve been using iOS 18.1 since the last update in late October, and I have to say, it’s been a bit of a rollercoaster ride. At first, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but boy, was I in for a surprise! One day, I had to write an email, and let me tell you, it was a game-changer! The writing tools in iOS 18.1 are absolutely incredible. They give you a friendly rewrite, a professional one, and a concise one, all in one go. And the first two drafts were so good that I was blown away! I’ve always struggled with writing, and it’s hard for me to articulate my thoughts clearly. Sometimes, it comes across as if a 13-year-old wrote it. But with these writing tools, I can now sound like a pro! They’re a real lifesaver, and I’m so glad I have them. Now, I haven’t tried out all the other changes that have been made, but I’m sure they’re just as impressive. I can’t wait to see what else Apple has in store for us in December. In the meantime, I’ll keep you posted on my experience. And just a heads up, these writing tools are a must-have if you need to write anything formal or professional. They’re worth every penny!

Double/triple press the silent button

Pardon my ignorance if this has been posed before, but is there a way to Programme the silent/ring button for a double press and triple press action? For example:

1 presss- performs default action Double press- perform second action Triple press- perform third action.

I think there may be utility in giving this button the ability to map multiple actions. Is there a way to do this?

iOS Keyboard issues

Ever since I've gotten back to the iPhone earlier this year in Spring, I've had issues with it's keyboard. "Ahh that's probably just the new phone. Whole new operating system. Jeeze.", I said to myself. But here's the thing: It never went away. What improved was me predicting the text prediction bar and it's irratic behavior. I have video evidence of it on several occasions indicating a click from the user but not inserting the word in the textbox. Excuse me?

Comparing it to Gboard, it feels like the iOS keyboard has way less precise touch targets. Almost as if it's over anticipating the user fat fingering a key and by doing so makes them miss it. I have no other way to explain it. Other than purely based on my own observations, I make about ten times more typos on the iOS keyboard after half a year of using it than on Gboard straight after install. I feel cheated.

One last thing: Am I the only one who's keyboard hasn't customized at all? Didn't they advertise this at some point?

I’m logged into Spotify, I don’t get what Siri wants me to do?

I don’t understand what Siri wants me to do! Everything is logged in, plays normally, Siri will skip a song when I say skip but won’t play when I say play

iPhone XR on iOS 14.7.1 should I upgrade to iOS 18?

The smartphone from my mother just broke (samsung android) and I want to give her my old iPhone XR which currently runs iOS 14.7.1 and because I think iOS overall is more easy to handle for her and to see if she likes it.

Now the question I'm facing, should I upgrade the iOS Version to 18? Performance-wise probably not the best idea, but does she miss out a lot qol updates?

I myself am using an android for years now so I don't have experience with newer iOS versions.

Thankful for every input. ☺

When you run out of hotspot data…

…you can still use it on your iPad by plugging your phone up to it. Only wifi counts towards hotspot usage.
