iPhone slower after removed from charger

I can’t find anything about this.

Every time I remove my iPhone 15 non-pro from its charger it becomes very laggy and slow. Usually after it’s been charging for a little while at least.

My battery health is at 90%. It was happening even earlier. My storage is at 105Gb out of 128Gb. My big iCloud Photo Library should be fully indexed by now. It was also happening on some previous devices of mine and even iPads! So I wonder if it has to do with my Apple account somehow…

When I try to take a photo the camera app crashes! Apps get relaunched even if I closed them a few seconds ago. Lots go wrong or freezes.

The only solution at that point is to hard reboot the device which fixes everything…until the next time I charge it.

So I have to hard reboot about once or twice per day. This can’t be normal??

Does anyone have any idea how I can solve this? It’s a complete mystery to me and really ruins my experience.

Thanks!!

Can you create multiple events on the calendar automatically

I am a software engineer and work for a company that requires hybrid work, but it is not established which days we go to the office and which days we work from home.

Whatever the case, all my home office days look similar and all my on-office days look similar. I.e: Home office I wake up at 8, eat at 1pm, workout at 9 …

Is there any way to sync all the calendar events with one button? For example today is home-office so I upload all the events I mentioned, but if it’s on-office day it uploads all the events from that type of day

Logged out of Reddit IOS

Hi there,

As said in the title; was randomly logged out this morning. My nsfw preferences were also forgotten?

My account is associated with my iCloud.

Logged back in fine. Haven’t been logged out since.

It had been about 2 days since I used the app.

Get a bit worried about this sort of thing! Any ideas?

Many thanks 😌

How to find out URL to link/article in GoodLinks?

GoodLinks has an URL-scheme. I like to use OPEN to open a link/article in GoodLinks from another app. How do I find out the URL to the article in GoodLinks?

Note: I do not want to open the link/article in a web browser. I want to see it in GoodLinks so I can see highlights I made for example.

is there an Apple ID accounts overview?

I'm considering to buy a Samsung Z Flip 6, i just love the nostalgia. But i've currently got an iPhone. I'm hesitating to switch because i am a fan of ios, it's just very simple and smooth. But my biggest issue about switching is my Apple ID.

I use Apple ID to log in to a lot of things, many of my accounts are Apple ID accounts. I won't be able to use those anymore because i can't verify it's me on a samsung. Is there any way to find which accounts i have with Apple ID, and maybe making them into a regular mail login? Or do i just have to make new accounts for everything?

Why text selection on iOS works this way?

Hi, I've been using iPhone 8 Plus for a few years a while ago. That model had 3D touch and I truly love how it assisted text selection. Apart from haptic feedback it also worked similar to mouse cursor on computers - when pressed harder while hovering over text an anchor was set and now the other end of selection had to be chosen.

Now I'm using iPhone 15 Pro Max and I think the same behaviour could have been applied to new devices without 3d touch - only apart from pressing more firmly you would just have to press the keyboard while hovering the cursor above the text. A small change given that Apple decided to give up on 3d touch whatsoever.

However I don't understand why now the selection behaviour changed too. Instead of choosing the beginning and then the end of selection I'm left with a tool that broadens the selection both ways which is often frustrating.

Am I the only person experiencing this change this way? What's the idea behind the way it works? For me it's way less intuitive and way harder to use than the cursor-style text selection.

Issues with IOS 18 beta and IOS 18 regular

A while back, I upgraded my phone to IOS 18 beta and it worked fine throughout most of the year with typical beta issues ( random heating, crashes, and freezes). until last week, my phone updated to IOS 18 Beta 3 and when I woke up, certain parts of the screen didn't work. Thinking it was a Beta issue and knowing IOS 18 official was coming out the next week, I decided to wait it out instead of reverting to an older version. However, now I have IOS 18 regular and the crashing, glitching got better, but large swaths of the screen continue not working. I am starting to think this is a physical issue even though there is no evidence of any physical damage, no dropping or water and I don't recall any of those things happening. Is it possible that beta is messing with the phone still somehow? I'm not sure what the best course of action is or how to easily tell if its a software bug or hardware issue.

227mb of notes have disappeared

Hi guys, I have my notes synced via iCloud and have ‘notes on my iPhone’ checked. So unsure why this has happened? iCloud is showing there is 227mb of notes and that they are synced. However, my notes app is not showing anything?

Tried a restart, but still same issue.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Question about iOS backup for new phones

Hey, don't know if this or r/iOSBeta is the best place to ask but, here is the situation:

I had iOS 18 RC installed on my 13 Pro Max that I have sold last friday, I have made a full backup of it before selling it, question is, will that backup be usable when my 16 Pro arrives? I assume the 16 Pro will arrive with iOS 18 full, not RC. But RC is kind of the full release, so I am not certain.

I built Opus Audiobooks: Classic literature reimagined for iOS (Apple's Best New App of the Week, Week 14 2024)

Dear r/ios community,

I've been passionate about classic literature and iOS design for many years. Recently, I combined these loves to create Opus Audiobooks, an app that brings timeless works to life through audio. I'm humbled and excited that Apple recently (week 14, 2024) featured it as Best New App of the Week in the US.

Opus is truly a labor of love. I've spent countless hours curating classics, enhancing volunteer narrations, and designing an interface that honors the beauty of these works. Each audiobook is paired with a carefully chosen classic painting, much like a well-crafted print edition (think Penguin Classics for the digital age).

Key features:

  • Thoughtfully curated classic literature collection (200+ titles)
  • High-quality, enhanced audio narrations
  • iOS-native design inspired by beautiful book editions
  • Classic artwork as cover images
  • Author biographies and listening guides
  • Offline listening and adjustable playback speed
  • No login, personal data kept in your personal iCloud

I'd be incredibly grateful for your feedback. To make this easier, I'm offering a 6-month free trial for 
members: https://apps.apple.com/redeem?ctx=offercodes&id=6463743274&code=BOOKWORM

I do not expect this to become a commercial success. This project isn't about making money – it's about sharing my passion for literature. The $4/month subscription simply keeps the lights on.

More info: https://opus-audiobooks.com/

Your insights will be invaluable in shaping Opus's future. Thank you for your time and for supporting indie developers like me.

Apple AI and iPhones bough overseas

This might be a very simple or maybe stupid question, but I just want to be sure. I live in the UK and my iCloud and App Store is all UK based. I'm currently travelling in Asia and by the time the new iPhone 16 is released I'll be in South Korea, so I was thinking on buying it there and save some money on tax. My question is, would I have any problem to use Apple AI? Because South Korea is not on the list of the countries that are receiving Apple AI, but as soon as I log into my UK iCloud account, that shouldn't affect me right?

Hide My Email - Replies

Sorry if this has been clarified already - I couldn’t see it anywhere.

When I reply to someone who has sent a message to an alias I created using “Hide My Email” - it seems to reveal my actual name as being the sender.

Is this the case for anyone else?

Is there any way to retain anonymity when using alias to reply to someone?

Thanks.

Announce notifications pause my music

Ever since I started using the iOS 18 beta every time a notification comes up while I’m using my AirPods Siri just pauses the songs I’m listening to. Before it used to be that Siri lowers the volume to read it then ups the volume after reading but now after reading it she just pauses the music. Anyone know a fix?

How to use Apple Reminders for both work and personal accounts

I am using Apple Reminders for work on my work Macbook using a work iCloud account. On my iPhone, I use Reminders for my personal account.

As I understand it, I can include another iCloud account on my iPhone Reminders app, but it doesn't seem to be working. When I go into the settings, there are 3 accounts:

[Personal iCloud] | [Gmail Account] | [Work iCloud account]

So it seems like it should be working, expect the Work iCloud account is listed as 'Inactive'. I presume this is the key, but I can't find any info online about how to change this. I did try and activate it on my personal Macbook, but was put off by the T&C that essentially all of my data would be synced with the Work iCloud account. I certainly don't want that, and feel like it is a bit over the top just to include a few Reminder lists.

Has anyone been successful with this setup?

Instagram didn’t require password after factory reset

Hello everyone. As title says, after doing factory reset on my iphone all other apps I redownloaded required password and email address in order to log in, but when I redownloaded and opened Instagram I was instantly logged it as I never did factory reset, I don’t know why. After that I deleted Instagram and redownloaded it again, this time it asked for login information, but after factory reset I was just logged in, why?

Restore and Update to iOS/iPadOS 18 at the Same Time.

I've Googled around and can't seem to find a direct answer to this. I like to do clean installs of the new OSs when they are released. Is there a way for me to restore my iPhone/iPad AND update them to 18 at the same time? Or do I have to update to 18, and then restore them in two steps?
