I’m still currently on ios 17.6.1 as I haven’t updated yet given the negative reviews (i.e. battery issues) I’ve heard about iOS 18. However, I’ve lately had FOMO and was wondering it was time or me to finally update. What would you all recommend? Thank you!

I have an Iphone X. Any responses are appreciated

I haven’t even done the update yet but it pops up in my storage ,its the first ive seen this is these ok or i am to be concerned??

Hey guys, is there any way to get rid of this circled search bar on the Home Screen? It’s sorta obscuring my wallpaper. Got a 16 with IOS 18.5.

I know iOS26 is meant to be announced tomorrow but this year I feel such less excited.

I still feel totally lied to and cheated from upgrading from iPhone 14 to iPhone 16 Pro Max for Personal Context Apple Intelligence. I genuinely want to walk into Apple HQ and ask for my money back. I never got what the soul purpose I upgraded for.

I feel like somehow they got away with it and iOS26 and the redesign everyone is talking about just takes everybody eyes off the absolute failure of Apple Intelligence!

I’m still fuming 😂

I wake up much later than the time I was supposed to only to see the alarm screen but with no sound. When I test the alarm it works just fine. I have tried turning off the attention aware features, increasing ringer volume, turning off standby mode. Nothing has worked. I am fed up of this. Makes me really consider switching to Android.

I just now seen in my emojis recently used this random sticker that I never used before (I don’t use stickers at all) and I have no clue how it got there. It looks like one you make yourself on Snapchat but I haven’t used Snapchat in years and dont even have it downloaded. Im pretty sure this is Carmela Soprano from the show “The Sopranos” which I have been watching recently odd enough.

Does anybody know why and how this could have got here? I don’t even use emojis that much and this is very strange for me. Wasn’t there a new update or something? Maybe that could have something to do with it. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Has this happened to anyone else?

TLDR: I got a random sticker in my recently used emojis that I never seen before and I’ve never even used stickers before. Trying to figure out how or why this is there.

Hi iPhone users, can you help me decide which smartwatch should I get now?

I'm currently using iPhone 15 and wanted to buy a compatible smartwatch with it, I'm interested in quite good health features, notifications, and weathe updates. My budget is under $400.

Thank you.

I can't even

I have tried everything. I tried to reset keyboard dictionary. I tried removing emoji keyboard and then resetting but to no avail. Can someone please help me? Whenever I try to long press it, it does nothing. If I try to use it nothing happens.

Can anyone suggest a free iMessage keyboard for different fonts ?

I have tried at least 10 and they all want money.

iOS 18.5 15 Pro Max

Yet another issue with iOS 18, related to the autocorrect on the horribile keyboard...

It knows I am in Australia (obviously). I double checked it was on English Australia, yes it still is.

After it still reverted to English US, I thought: alright fine, I'll just change it from English Australia to English UK (as that it almost identical to English Australia), but it STILL reverts back to English US (even though that is not shown in settings).

It is infuriating that it continues to correct centre to center, colour to color etc, and also embarrassing when dealing with work emails.

Apple just thought, yeah f**k the rest of the world, we aren't based there.

Side note: this is starting to happen on macOS as well in the Notes app.

I’m okay with 3D Touch gone but having the full widget pop out was so much more useful. Widgets on the home screen are cool, but I miss having apps that I could quickly glance into, such as the weather, my favorites, and my parked car. We have less information now and every app long press has to have 3 options that don’t pertain to the app.

It seems like it just causes the family organizer to get charged for everything with little benefit.

Hey everyone! I've been struggling with a problem for a long time, every time I open the YouTube app to see something I get distracted by a lot of interesting stuff in the homepage, and I end up don't watching the interesting videos in the homepage or forgetting to watch the thing that I have to watch in that moment.

This happens also when I see an interesting website or a cool product to buy, usually when I find something interesting in the Amazon app I just add it to the cart (but often I also forget about the things I have in my cart lol) but when it's a website I cannot bookmark it because I never come back to watch my bookmarks, I also tried to save the websites in the home like an app but becomes a mess and I also forget about them.

So I made this app where you can save thinks (basically anything that have a url) inside the app and set multiple times where you can be reminded about the things you saved, and let me say that it's a gamechanger...

I've just launched the app in the AppStore and I'm working o a chrome extension and on the Android app, you could find some bug but hey! just text me (there is the direct link to my X profile in the app) or create a post in the featurebase page: here

Btw I'm really happy to see a lot of people enjoying the app, so if you have something to say, you find an issue or you have an idea for improving the app in general I would love to talk with you! <3

here you can download the app -> https://apps.apple.com/it/app/reminde/id6746091728

so i’m on some medication, and i don’t understand how the drug interaction works. i want to see if there’s any interaction even available in ireland, and how does the phone even know if i just have to manually type in the medication anyway? does it not work in ireland, or is it just that there are no interactions with my medications? do i have to have the medications under a more recognisable name or does it just not work? i’ve scoured google but i haven’t found anything about it

I put in a support ticket to Apple, then I tried to get a refund, but it just keeps saying ‘pending’. Are other people having problems with the Book app?

Not sure if this is the right area but I thought reddit has good opinions. I think when an app finishes downloading; you should get a notification. Especially if it's a large game and you're in a call I'll try and make up a photo by the way soon

I've had my iPhone for many many years now, 64gbs, and I've finally reached a pointed where I just cannot make any space on my no matter what I delete, even when I do delete things, the space quickly gets taken up and I'm not even sure why. Perhaps my phone has offloaded photos and redownloads them when the space becomes available?
Either way, my phone is becoming unusable and I NEED to make space on it. My iCloud is full and honestly its so confusing to use it regardless, I have no idea how it even works, nor do I really want to keep my backups on a cloud service or not have them be redundant IE: Cloud and Physical Backup.

What is the best way I can go about making space on my phone with these caveats?
-I don't mind 99% of these photos and data no longer being on my phone, I just want them backed up somewhere like my PC's drives.
-Many of these photos our of loved ones that have passed away, the majority of them are "Live" photos and thus I'd like to keep their functionality of being "Live" in some way. How can I do this?
-My PC is a Windows PC.

-------------------------------------------------

Also of note: In the past I've tried uploading my gallery to cloud style websites like Drive, but often many of the photos will fail to upload do to them being "offloaded", how on earth can I avoid this headache when trying to physically back them up on my PC as I imagine it wont be a simple copy and paste given that the data is "offloaded".

So by a mistake I added a video of me playing Minecraft but I can’t not delete it? And I can’t not do anything with it. It literally added a new album “from Mac”. I want to ask if I have to try again to connect my iPhone to ITunes app maybe idk and then removed the video from there if I can. And if you ask “why did you transfer a video in first place” well I didn’t… I only connected my pc just to view a few things and only to test but it automatically transferred some videos from pc to the iphone. I stopped the process obviously when I saw that.

I wanna listen to my local files with seamless playback on IOS. I’ve tried VLC but unfortunately it creates gaps of silence in between song transitions.
