I don't understand wallpaper sizing

I am trying to make a custom wallpaper for my iPad Air 2. The screen resolution is purportedly 2048x1536 @ 264 ppi (mainly used in landscape so that's how the wallpaper will be oriented). I created a new file in Photoshop with those dimensions exactly. I finished my design and exported the file. When I get it on the iPad and select it as the Lock Screen, for example, it crops/zooms into the center of the image. Pinching to zoom out doesn't work since it just snaps back to that crop as soon as I let go. I've even tried zooming with two hands and awkwardly using my pinky to hit the "Done" button while holding the zoom, but no dice. It still sets the default, zoomed/cropped image.

What am I not understanding about how iOS/iPados wallpaper/lock screen operates?

PS: I'm running iPados v15.8. I believe this is the latest version supported by the iPad Air 2.

Are the iPhone 13 and 14 overheating

I'm looking to get a phone and I'm considering swapping from Android to apple. I want either a 13 or 14, but I have seen some people online saying that the ios17.0.3 made iPhone 14 and 13s overheat to the point of being unusable. When I talk to other people I know, they say their phones are completely fine. So I just want to know if overheating is an actual big problem or not.

if your phone is overheating, where do you live? Could It just be that you live in a hot climate or is it almost 100% the fault of ios17. Has it been fixed by now?

Thank you

Looking for a way to find and remove all of the adult content in my photo album

I'm trying to turn a new leaf and remove all of the PG-13 and R-rated content from my photo library. I'm hoping with the new on-device "sensitive content" warning system that there is a way to use the Photos search to find it all and easily archive it to a place with more obstacles to access. The problem is that I've been an iCloud subscriber for over a decade and have never once deleted a photo, so my photo album has multiple tens of thousands of pictures. It's not even possible at this point to manually scroll through all of my normal pictures and remove them as I find them - I won't be able to keep track of where I am, or easily pick up where I left off as this task would takes months, if not longer.

Is this currently possible? I've tried every obvious search term I can think of, even incredibly vague words like "body" and "skin," but it's not doing what I need it to. Is there a trick to accomplish this?

I came across a third-party app called Orga that claims to do this securely, but I'm wary of giving an app direct access to my entire photo library, especially one designed to specifically scan through my entire photo library. But I'm open to other ideas!

Looking for a really simple app to log a headache score each day

My doctor has asked me to keep a simple diary of headaches, I want to log 2 scores out of 10 each day, 1 for how it felt when I woke up, another for how it felt at the end of the day.

I just want a really really simple app that will send a notification to remind me to do this and then let me log the score. Once a day is sufficient, I can just set it for the evening and log both scores for that day,

Anyone have any suggestions?

Cant Download Spotify (Stuck at 75%)

I can’t seem to download Spotify on iOS 17… only Spotify, every other app works. It always gets stuck at 75% and the app doesn’t even seem to be downloading. No icon appears on homescreen.

Sharing media files with Android

Hey everybody. I just bought the 15 pro max and I'm happy with it. I came back to iOS after 10 years 🙈. Sooo the thing that is bothering me very much is that I can't simply share videos and photos with Android users (and vice versa) so is there a good app that is for both platforms (preferably add free)? I currently have Send Anywhere but I'm not really happy with it. Android has tons of great simple sleek apps that do this but not cross platform Thanks

IOS 17 issues

I recently got the iphone 15 plus in november and everything was fine until i updated ios to 17.1.1. wifi / 4g would be connected but internet does not work. i cant load anything on safari and most apps dont work during this issue. only apps that seem to work are imessage and whatsapp. when i go to settings to toggle wifi on and off my phone freezes on settings menu. only way to get my phone to work again is by force restarting. i have factory reset my phone and updated to ios 17.1.2 but problem still occurs. this happens 2-3 times a day. is it worth me waiting until ios 17.2 drops mid december to see if apple correct this problem or should i take my phone back as it may be faulty? any advice would be appreciated 🙏 thank you

How do I disable pull to refresh in Safari?

Yesterday I updated my iPhone from iOS 14.4.2 to iOS 16.7.2 and there are alot of changes which I dislike. One of which is the "Pull to Refresh" in Safari.

How do I disable this? It constantly triggers at the most annoying times.

iPhone no longer making sounds for notifications also wearing Apple Watch

I've been looking for an answer and the constant theme is that this is how it is supposed to work. My issue is up until today, My notification on my iPhone made sounds. I rely on my notification sounds to respond quickly to various requests. Can someone help me? I don't think I changed anything but now all my notifications that made sounds literally yesterday are just vibrating my wrist. Im certain nothing has changed...

Experiences with iPhones performing better after a battery swap, but when the old battery was reporting "normal peak performance"?

I've seen this a few times, an iPhone 7 I had that was at 80% but reporting normal performance and no throttling to turn off was hitching and lagging around the UI, got a new battery, and that went away, there was no OS update or rest time, it just got better after installing a new battery

I've seen that happen with other people's iPhones as well

I have an 11 Pro now that's starting to stutter and opening and closing the camera app is not as reliably fast as I'd like, especially with a podcast playing and then trying to get the camera open and closed for a shot often lags bad. It reports 83%, and once again, reports no abnormal performance because of the battery, but I'm wondering if replacing that might improve it, or if it's 17 getting too chunky for it now.

Also, what do the different messages really mean? On an XS and before as far as I can tell, it used to say "your battery is supporting normal peak performance", on the 11 Pro and later it says "dynamic systems help counter performance impacts that may be" yada yada, does the 11 Pro and later not just say when things are degraded and it's more dynamic in trying to do its best?

Blocked but messages are still delivering.

Recently got blocked and sent one last final message to retrieve my belongings back from my ex. I responded on my iPhone and the green immediately went to blue and then green (never said delivered).

Went to my iPad and that same text showed delivered. I copied the same message on iPad and sent it and stuck on blue.

When I go back to my iPhone the second copied message shows delivered.

Did she see my last text to send my belongings back?

ChatGPT freehand

Hi. I'm using ChatGPT app on iPhone 14 Pro. I like the new "freehand" feature, but I'd prefer to read also the transcript during the conversation. Is there a way to have freehand with transcript in the same time? It could be fine also an other app that have this feature.

List of iOS monitoring features

I was thinking about how, in iPhone, screen time continuously monitors the usage, the screen distance monitors the distance and they also monitor steps and other bits of information. Is there a list of features that can be toggled. Maybe turning those off will reduce stress on older iPhones

Youtube videos wont load on any browsers (firefox, safari, chrome) on the latest gen iphone upto date ios.

Has anyone else experienced this? I will not get the youtube app, I have been using firefox to watch youtube on my phone all my life, and it seems with a recent ios update, or a quite youtube update within the last week, I can no longer watch videos on a browser anymore, either on LTE, wifi at home, or wifi at work. They will just try to load but the player will remain black and I cannot interact with it other than refreshing the page.

New update wifi issues

Has anyone had issues staying connected to the wifi from any of their iPhones or Apple products since the new update? My phone and other products won’t stay connected at all. I have googled and done what others have suggested. I have restarted my phone, turned the wifi off and back on, forgot the network, reset the network settings. All of them have not improved the issues.

my phone screen turns off one second late?

this isn’t really a big deal. i’m new to ios and i’ve had little to no bugs whatsoever. but for some reason when i press the power button to turn off my phone it takes like half a second to a second to turn off the display. it didn’t use to be like this when i got the phone (it’s pretty much brand new) so i’m wondering how to fix it. if not then i can live with it i just find it weird. turning on the display itself works just fine

Screen Active time on iOS is very misleading. It needs to show Screen On time since the last charge, not last 24 Hrs.

Apple Denying my App for a Weird Reason

My mobile app shows users nutrition plans and food recipes, with detailed macros (protein, carbs, fat, calories). These recipes were created by a nutritionist specifically for us.

Now the problem - Apple denied our newest version is requesting "citations" for these recipes. They said it is against the App Store Review Guideline 1.4 - Physical Harm, but they will not elaborate what the problem is.

Has anyone ever a problem like this? The recipes include grocery list and how-to-make instructions. What citation they might need? There are at least hundreds of apps that list recipes like this.

Here's the message they sent:

During our review, we found that your app provides diet recommendations in the nutrition section, therefore it would be appropriate to include citations in the app of the sources for such diet recommendations with functional links to those sources.
