Whenever I long my macbook onto a wifi network will automatically join it after without asking me.
In my job I will often need my phone on one network and my mac book on another or not have my phone on it at all.
I know I can just go in and take my phone off the network but it’s annoying when I have to do it multiple times in a row.
If anyone can help I would appreciate it.
Does anyone know an app that can block calls but not messages?
I've been trying to add in two short cuts where with a simple press of a button before sleep starts your sleep timer and when you wake up you can end the timer and add that data to your sleep database
i want to install apps in my iphone 6 but its not supported anymore, i saw videos on youtube and they are downloading profiles from beta and form other websites but i dont know if its safe or not
I used to play this game called Cliffed: Norms World back in like 2014 and I would like to play it again for nostalgia. Is there any way I can do this or is it gone forever?
Hi, got an iPhone 15 Pro recently, and transfered all my data, blah blah blah, same exact data on it.
Anyway, there is stuff on my phone I want private, and so I locked them with FaceID, but the problem is that FaceID initializes instantly, meaning if I hit the wrong button, it unlocks anything before I can exit, so someone might read/see it. Is there an option to add a delay, or a warning or something? Thanks in advance!
I would want to send multiply photos from google drive to facebook / insta / others for other people (chat / pm) without saving those photos manually.
I see that i can select those photos within Files => share button => then share to facebook messenger. But when I do the same for insta, it only displays 1 photo but not the others. ( both my iphone and ipad behave the same)
So my question: Is there any better alternative to select multiply files / photo from google drive and then share to other app ? With which I dont need to save the photo manually
Also I figured out the maximum number of files that you should choose is 30. Because less than 30, it always allow us to choose to send us to various app, in my case: fb + insta. But more than 30, sometime 31 or 32 or 33 ( not constantly for all the time) , it restricts the app that we can share to. (The number isnt related directly to file size as I have also tested with different file size)
Just don’t want people seeing what i spend my time on with one swipe
I want to free up space on the iphone, but I want to keep the favorite photos.
Do favorite photos also get deleted from iphone after sync with fotos app on mac if I check the "delete after sync" checkmark?
If so, what is a good strategy to avoid deleting the favorites? I have a lot of them, and manually checking each photo if it's a favorite seems like a daunting task.
Since albums are just lists of photos and not separate containers, I cannot just duplicate them in a separate album, right?
Thanks
I recently removed the emoji keyboard and dictation after which I am left with a white space below the load which is ugly. Is there a way to remove it? Thanks.
I use the Calendar app for my meetings and events, but there is one type of event I have where I have never really figured out the best way to enter them; events that have a "buffer" time before them.
I am a casual performing musician and I have always struggled with how to enter the relevant information for my gigs. If I have a gig start and end time of 9 PM to 11 PM, I enter the gig info (venue name, address, start and end time) as a calendar entry with no travel time. I then enter another event that includes the set up time with travel time (set up time is usually 90 minutes, travel time is variable of course, so I'll enter the start time for the set up event at 90 minutes prior to the gig start time and the set up end time equal to the gig's start time). This way I can share the gig event with people and not have them deal with my set up time.
Another example is how to manage airport arrival and departure times, especially if I am picking someone up/dropping them off at the airport. My arriving friend's flight has an arrival time, I like to get there early by some amount (30 minutes or so). Similar the gig event above, I enter the flight arrival time as the start time and some random time as the end time with no travel time. I enter another separate event as my arrival time to the airport and basically the flight arrival time as this event's end time and include my travel time to the airport. For drop off I do something similar with a 2 hour earlier-than-the-flight departure time.
All this seems very clunky and I have to double and triple check my entries to make sure I get the times correct.
Is there a better way to do this?
Recently I’ve started using a USB to lightning adapter, cause iOS 17 somehow broke all of my lightning to SD card adapters. USB works fine, but I noticed that it’s getting quite hot in about 5 minutes of using it. Is it an okay thing or it should be cold?
So here's my issue :
i uninstalled whatsapp on my daughter's iphone 7 for some clean-up operation.
installed it back, but I can't go further because I'm stuck on the welcome screen you can see in the picture :
i should normaly have access to some "agree and continue" toggle button or something. but nothing happens when I scroll down, and there's no menu popping up neither.
i tried to turn on and off the phone several times, and I also uninstalled and reinstalled the app several times aswell.
also tried to reach the whatsapp help center, but they answered that it's outside of their field.
maybe someone has faced the same issue ?
thanks already
For some reason, iOS won't let me select and use the Gboard keyboard when searching for apps. The image shows that Gboard won't display as a selectable keyboard.
I'm able to use it just fine in this Reddit app while I type this post, in Safari, etc. In these apps, Gboard DOES display as a selectable keyboard.
I've also been able to use Gboard during app search just fine on my old phones, so maybe it's a bug? Anyone know how to fix this?
IOS 17.1.1 iPhone 15
Yesterday I was going though my photos and suddenly the app crashed it took a while for the app to open back up but when it did all my photos were gone. Then it slowly started to recover my photos and it was counting up, so I figured if I just waited long enough eventually it will load back all of my photos and videos which were around 100,000 (I know that's a lot). Today it has stopped at around 30,000 and it’s not loading anymore. I check my recently deleted and hidden and they're not there. I didn't update recently. And my storage isn’t maxed out. I do have the iCloud Photos feature on. Any ideas where my photos are?
Some further notes. Checked iCloud Photos they’re not there either. My storage looks normal, which is why I think they’re not actually gone or else there would be a massive drop right?
Hi,
I recently switched back to the Google Calendar vs Apple Calendar.
My issue is the Google widget is not showing my events for tomorrow it is saying no events.
There were only 3 widgets to pick from? Is this how the Google widget is?
So I am having an issue lately where reminders will randomly delete my sections or columns and sometimes will delete actual reminders. Then I have to try and remember what I had in that section. I have attempted to restore from iCloud.com but reminders isn’t an option. Anyone else have this issue?
Ever since they forced us to upgrade to the latest messenger with AI chat built in my screen will randomly go to max brightness while using the app. Anyone else or is it just me?

thank you
Hello, I would like to know if I can make wifi calls on my physical sim card with the internet of my esim? Because I'm going on a trip soon and I'm going to want to make calls and text messages with my local number everywhere with the esim data.
Thank you in advance!
My wallet was stolen a couple days ago, and the thief has been able to get a hold of my email address. Wallet had my credit cards, health insurance cards, various membership cards, etc. so they have my full name details, but they did not get my ID nor my SSN card.
I put credit freezes and a fraud alert out with the 3 main agencies the day of theft, and today I received a phishing email on my gmail from the thief/scammer pretending to be one of the agencies saying to review a secure message related to my fraud alert. The steps were to click a link, and thereafter open the attachment in the email body. I clicked the link and the attachment they had in the email (I know, I know) - but quickly realized it was fraudulent and closed browser. I did not enter any information in the fields and didn’t download the attachment. After opening the link, I immediately got a new email from a different address providing me with a security code to use (presumably to feign authenticity).
I immediately blocked those email addresses, reported as spam, turned my wifi/data off, cleared browser history/website data for the last hour (and about 2 hours after cleared all browser history), restarted my iPhone, and purchased lifelock.
Need help to understand if im at risk of any additional issues because of clicking the link and opening the attachment. Clicked via my iPhone with the latest ios downloaded for reference. TIA.
I get this weird address on all my iOS devices whenever I go to set current location. I have no idea where this came from and it's 3 hours away from my current location. Is this just some bizarre iOS thing?
Crossposting from r/WhatsApp.
I recently moved countries and had a new number. As soon as I changed the number, a lot of friends of mine told me that my older chat is no longer working and they had to add my new number in order to continue chatting. I was hoping that the change would be transparent to them and the underlying number would just change.
Is there anything I should have done and/or can do now to make it as little inconvienent as possible for my contacts to connnect with me?
Thanks.
I'm experiencing this issue on my iPhone 14 Pro with iOS 17.4.1. Is there any solution to this problem? Yes, I've tried deleting the widget and re-adding it. I also attempted uninstalling and reinstalling the Gmail app, but the issue persists, and it still looks weird and somewhat ugly
I’m an Android user who’s trying out iOS because I want an Apple Watch. The one thing that might be a dealbreaker is the keyboard. I have to switch keyboard layers anytime I want punctuation or numbers? How do you all live like this?
There has to be a better option, right?
So, ever since I ran out of money on my visa gift card I got for my birthday, the App Store isn’t allowing me to buy even free things that cost ZERO dollars. It will just say something along the lines of, “Enter password to view billing information“, but I don’t have anymore valid information. Please help me with this, it’s getting extremely frustrating to deal with
