I deleted a shared note months ago from my iPhone (not originally created by me) and as I'm using my Mac laptop I notice it's in my shared folder under invitations with a recent date. I'm logged into the same iCloud account on both not sure why it popped up. Anyone have an idea why this is here.

When I click the note, it says who the note is being shared with and an option to "View Note". If I open this will the owner know I viewed it?

I have an iPhone SE (newer version) and last time I did this all my photos offloaded and then reuploaded to my phone over the course of a week. It was incredibly annoying and a big hinderance. I contacted the apple help texting thing and they said make a backup and that it wouldnt happen again, they supposedly looked into it and said it was a one time thing. Well now I’m here after updating to 17.5.1 with all my photos missing and my recents folder saying “restoring from iCloud”. Why does it offload my photos at all? Can’t it just keep them in my phone while updating? It’s so annoying to not have access to them for almost a week while they reupload. Apple has not been helpful with this. Has anyone else had this happen to them? Any fixes so this doesn’t happen next time I update my phone?

I don't see any difference in my icon app appearance when I click on the sun icon.

Hi all. I have an iPhone 15 Pro on iOS 17.5.1. I bought it September 2023 in the Apple store in NYC for personal use.

About twice per day my location services will stop working. When I open Google Maps it's just a blank screen and clicking the triangle for current location will give a "Location cannot be determined" message. At the same time any messages on Facebook Messenger or iPhone Messages will remain unread even when I've read them (the little blue dot indicating unread will remain). I've also noticed certain applications that require Face ID will fail to even prompt Face ID and will be virtually unusable. I've noticed it happens sometimes when I get a banner notification for something unrelated and I click on it, redirecting me to another app. Not sure if this always the case though.

If I power off my phone and restart it, the issue will be fixed but this is super annoying since it happens on a daily basis. The weird thing is that this issue began with my previous phone (iPhone 11) and has persisted on this one. At this point I don't know if it's a software issue or something weirdly specific to my settings? Has anyone else run into this kind of issue before?

As a side note, I've also tried resetting my location settings to factory but that does nothing.

Not sure if anyone has ever encountered this or has any solutions, but this morning almost all of the non-Apple apps on my iPhone SE 3rd gen suddenly stopped working. They would open, but immediately minimize (although I could see them running in the background afterwards). Apple Support told me I had to delete and re-download all 30 of the affected apps, and had no explanation for why it happened or how to prevent it in the future. Some of these were pretty well-known apps (Amazon, Chase, Google Maps, etc). I had the latest version of all the apps and the latest version of iOS (17.5.1). I even tried restarting my router, although my other iOS devices aren't having any trouble. It's all a huge PITA. What do you think, worth it to try a factory reset in the hopes it might prevent it from happening again? Or is there something else I should do?

EDIT: I just solved this on my own. I had 150 active tabs in Safari. After going through and clearing all of them out, all the affected apps are opening just fine. Hopefully this helps anyone else who might have the same problem.

Any idea how to do that? I managed to create with Shortcuts something that at the beginning of the day checks if I have an exam today and if I do it turns the focus on But I don’t want it to be on the whole day I want it to turn on when the test begins and that’s where I’m stuck

I do not use this app. I’ve tried deleting the Mail app, removing my accounts from the app, then signing in and out, and deleting all the mail in the app. None of this has been working. iPhone 6S (if that matters).

This has been an issue for other users as well, and I’ve tried the solutions but to no avail.

I want to set up a redirect so if I try to access a particular website it will redirect me to a different one, effectively blocking that website.

I’m asking this as I want to quit social media. I know there are ways to block websites on iOS but I want to get automatically redirected to another website in place of social media.

My camera is grayed out and I can't interact with the screen. I CAN touch the phone when it is dark and it WILL turn on but cannot "swipe up" to input my password and like I said before the camera icon is grayed out. I've already done like at least 20 hard reboots (volume up, volume down, power button hold until apple logo shows, blah blah blah). Any other ideas? Any help would be incredible

I've had various iterations of iPhone for a while now, and a few years ago I deleted the Facebook/Messenger album on my phone and It has bugged me ever since. If anyone could tell me how to get it back it would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, I bought an android phone (honor) to use it as my work phone. My personal phone is an iPhone 12 pro max in which I use WhatsApp business, now I need to transfer it to the android but I have not found any way to do it. Could you help me know if it's possible, if there's any way to do it. I would really appreciate it.

When someone blocked you are you still able to see the pictures and links you shared ?

Iphone 14 pro max 17.5.1

Hello all!

My iPhone (XR iOS 17.5.1) no longer displays the contact shortcuts while sharing, but it works normally on an iPad (9th Gen iPadOS 17.5.1).

Could you please help me restore this feature?

So I’ve noticed this popping up when I search for things, usually very quickly and disappearing but now it’s come up like this - I’m scared to click if it’s a virus but also scared it means I’ve been hacked? Any help if it’s safe?

Hi everyone,

I have an iPhone 12, iOS Version 17.5.1, and up until recently, it was working perfectly fine. However, I’ve encountered a frustrating issue with the camera. When I use the camera at 1x speed or above, it fails to focus. Below 1x, it works properly. When attempting to focus, it makes an electric short-like sound.

Initially, I thought it was an issue with my phone, but then I noticed it was affecting other phones too. I searched for fixes but found nothing helpful. Something stood out in the pictures I tried to take: the main focus area was blurry, but the live view option or live photo option was clear.

It doesn’t make sense to lose focus in the main frame while the outliers remain sharp. I suspect Apple might have done something here.

I've attached pictures to help illustrate the issue.

I tried to force restart the phone, TWICE, but in vain. I saw people saying to try using a magnet, which is so not cool, Imagine moving with a magnet at the back of your phone.

Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions or insights would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

[iPhone 14 pro][17.5.1 update]

I paid for it, its a big big scam. It does what any finder window of mac will do too, it iTunes for that matter.

Best way is to restore the iPhone-> in case you are using eSIM, good thing is eSIM data wont go away. so pretty much the same, just you stay without iPhone for 3-4 hours.

I am so silly that I fell prey to it, because in their all youtube videos, they have marketed to the extent that all the comments are fake. i.e check any comment that tries to show it as a scam-> that will have more likes then other comments combined, yet lower in the show queue.

Picture above for example, It’s on my iPhone and no one else seems to respond on other subreddits

I blurred out their weed email address.

Soo... from my understanding, iCloud as in the iCloud Backup (Not iCloud Drive) Is not iCloud storage? It's basically a mirror of what you have on your phone? I take a picture on my iPhone, it shows up in iCloud, I delete the photo from my camera roll, it gets deleted from iCloud.

Let's say I have 50GB of photo/video on my phone and I want to clear up some space.. I would need to save those photos to iCloud DRIVE and Not ICLOUD to keep them long term? Correct? Basic iCloud is a fail-safe in case my phone breaks?

If my main concern is saving photos in the cloud for longer.. should I just use a different service dedicated to photo/video? Does anyone save their Photos in iCloud Drive? How is it working for you?

Please help! I just got the iPhone 15 two weeks ago and out of nowhere, no drops/no damage- this bald white screen popped up and will not go away no matter what I try. I chatted with apple diagnostics and nothing. Please help! I have to go away tomorrow

So I just got a new phone, my old one kicked the bucket. I have a password on it, but the top of screen doesn’t work. Can I just use a laptop to transfer over everything? Or would I need to put in the password? Both phones are apple IOS, an XS and 15. New phone is newly updated, the other hasn’t been updated since about a month. Not too long ago.
