Dictation & Contact Names

I’ve been on the beta since it was released and now on standard iOS and something that I’ve noticed/a annoys the hell out of me is that when dictating, iOS will AutoCorrect to use contact’s names instead of whatever common word I am dictating. I can’t dictate the word ‘who’ without it first filling in the word I intend before auto correcting to “Hu.” Likewise “Combe” every time I go to insert a comma, and plenty others.

I had hoped it would be remedied by the time the public release happened but it appears not to be the case. Is anyone having this issue as well, and if so/not, what settings are you using to operate as intended?

Is there a way to bring back scan text feature on IOS 17?

With IOS 17 update the scan text feature requires three taps instead of two before, you have to select autofill and then there is the scan text feature. Is there an option to enable to get scan text to show beside autofill. It would be much more convenient than having to do another tap to get access to it.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

App store refuses to download certain apps, immediately stops the download

I deleted a few apps before and now can’t download them through app store. They are important apps such as google maps which i really need but every time i press the download button it immediately goes back to normal as if nothing happened.

I’ve restarted my phone 100 times, updated ios, even made a new apple id to log in, and nothing works. How do i fix this?

Is it just me or did 17 significantly boost the haptic strength?

Im using an iphone 11 pro, and before updating the haptics feels good, but with ios 17 I feel like the haptic engine really KICKS, the vibration from muting feels very sharp and defined. Is it supposed to be a bug or a feature or a new setting we can fiddle around with? I mean i like it but I hope it doesn't overwork the haptic engine

iCloud Family - user is using 600gb of shared data and 500gb is for backups - we don't know why

Hey all,

As the title states, we're in an iCloud family but one of the users we share with is using 600gb of Data. Upon letting them know, they investigated and it shows their iCloud backup is 500gb and they aren't sure why. I had them send a screenshot of the backup, it says the backup size is 565.77gb, the "last backup" was "never", and each app that's selected to backup to iCloud says "no data".

Any help with this is appreciated as we share 2TB of storage together and this is causing us to almost reach our limit.

Thanks!

Does Siri work with Google services (Calendar, Tasks, Keep, etc)?

I'm considering switching to iPhone but I have several Google Home speakers. I use them to add reminders, be reminded, add items to lists, etc.

Is there a way to configure the iPhone to have Siri use the same services that Google Assistant uses to manipulate your data?

For example, if I use my Google Speaker to "add milk to the grocery list", an item will be added to my Grocery list that sits in Google Keep. Can I configure the iPhone to use Google Keep to manage lists so when I use a "Hey Siri, add milk to the grocery list" it will be added to the same Google Keep list that google assistant uses, thus having a centralized list?

Same for Google Calendar events; Google Tasks reminders and others.

In 16.6.1 they fixed zero-click exploits but does that mean that 16.5 also had these security flaws in them? Or did something in 16.6 create this security flaw?

I’m trying to better understand the updates because every couple of releases I hear you need to update because of security exploits and flaws but I’ve never heard of them actually occurring.

Is there a way for me to revert back to iPhone 16.5 after updating to 16.6.1? I updated my iPhone 13 mini and I’m regretting it

16.5 was solid for me with minor bugs here and there that were fixed by a workaround. Everything worked well.

I updated to 16.6.1 as per suggestions for the “security” bugs etc. and now my phone is significantly overheating. I’m hoping 16.7 will take this problem away but knowing Apple it probably won’t. Any advice?

Is there a way to get my custom app icons to change alongside my home screen?

What I’m saying is, is there a way for my custom app icons to be available only on one specific Home Screen, but have it change to different icons when I choose to use a different Home Screen?

Smaller alert zone for more precise location based notices in apps?

Is there a way to make "precise location" more precise? Location based alerts for things like Alexa routines or when my kid leaves the area near our house (using Find People notifications) are triggering too soon or too late. The smallest notification zone in Find People like 1.5 city blocks wide. For example, I have an Alexa routine to turn off "Guard" when I arrive home (based on the location of my iPhone). But the routine runs when I'm just in the neighborhood, not actually at home. Similarly, for the Find People notifications. Kid leaves the house and I don't get an alert until they are two blocks away.

There must be a better way to locate a photo album when saving a photo…

I have a lot of photo albums in my stock ios photo app. When I select a photo to save in a specific album, I have to scroll through all of the albums until I find the one I want and tap on it. Time and again, it just baffles me that there isn’t an option to search album titles when I tap share on a photo. Am I missing something??

iOS 17 keyboard lag

I have 2 keyboards one for English and the other for Vietnamese.. but it seems like this has been a problem even in iOS 16 for me- when I type in English or Vietnamese it lags. When I just have the English keyboard there isn’t any lag. Is it because the keyboard is thinking or trying to see if there are spelling errors?

The lag is significant when typing out longer sentences and phrases

IOS 17, slow image loading

Hey everyone, since the iOS 17 update all my apps have very slow images loading. Prior to, on 16.6 everything was fast. Apps such as Reddit, Amazon, eBay etc all the images load slowly, only display the first I mage.. and won’t load the rest (several images available, just won’t load)

I’m using a iPhone 11 Pro Max. I’ve tried different devices (including a XR on 17.0) and those all work properly. Any suggestions?

The new apple tv remote widget

Love that it no longer defaults to the scrubber, which caused us so many accidental skips…but does anyone know how to get it back to this collapsed view once you touch it?

After expanding the widget, the lockscreen will only display the widget in full scrubber form. I had to reset my phone just to take this screenshot :(

The new iPhone released today. This is the queue as of 06:30 AM at Apple Store centralwOrld, Bangkok, Thailand.

Interestingly, more than half in the queue are Chinese (I heard Mandarin and Cantonese chatting).

Searching photos by dates in iOS17

In iOS previous to 17 I could go into my camera roll and search a date, e.g. October 10, and it would pull up all photos taken on October 10 across the years. Similarly, if I searched 2016 it would pull all photos timestamped within 2016. (I use this in a routine to clear out old/duplicate/unwanted photos.)

It seems now that I can’t search by any type of date in the camera roll (e.g. October 10, 2016, etc) which is frustrating. Is that intentional? Any workarounds?
