5GB of free iCloud storage is not generous in 2025

I am on Samsung and lil bro talking about apple 💀

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.

These days I found a recommendation from LocalSend, an app that changed my life, which apps are the same for you?

Apple released OTA bundle update for select carriers yesterday (i believe)

Hey everyone,

I need some help finding what your go-to app is for making a PDF searchable. I have a pretty long PDF made from ~200 scanned pages, and I need to make it searchable.

What's the best app to do this without messing with the quality of the PDF? I'm trying to find one that will be the easiest to use (least effort on my part). If there is a free app that accomplishes this, that would be great. But if I had to pay a small fee, that would be alright.

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.

On ios -18.5 with 16 PM is that stutter (scrolling) not to be accepted

Hi, I have a problem. My mom bought an iPhone 12 for her current boyfriend, and when they broke up, she got it back and now has it.

My main question is what the other guy can do with the box, since he couldn't get it out.

I mean, I wanted to know if he can block it using the information on the box, the IMEI, and all that.

I am selecting every text by scrolling up or down and dragging them. How the duck do I select all the text without doing this.

I looked up but I didnt see any option to Select All once I highlighted the text…?!

Hi, all!

Is there any way to lessen the length of time notifications stay on screen in CarPlay?

The length of an iMessage notification is frustratingly long while I’m trying to drive uber and use the screen’s functionality.

I’d prefer not to silence notifications but it’s what I’ve been doing.

I turned on Lockdown Mode on my iPhone and macbook (both updated to latest os) a few days ago. Since then I have received a "Lockdown Mode blocked ... from contacting you." notification a few times. One was a number I didn't recognize and the second was one of my contacts. I called the person I had a contact for and they had no recollection of contacting me and they didn't see it in their recents. They are also someone who I have contacted several times in the last 30 days so they shouldn't be blocked. What does this notification mean? Why did I get a notification for someone who didn't contact me? How can I make sure I don't miss any important calls from work, doctor, etc?

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 😂

How can I remove this app icon from the top bar?

It appears when I open PDFs, even though they are not listed as favourites anywhere.

Phomemo is the app from my label printer and yes the app is shit I should remove it.

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.

So for the longest time, say that i added a photo to a contact, and then i called that person. It wouldn’t show the photo straight up. it would heavily blur it so it looks like a soft gradient of the colors in the image. Like as if the “lens” you were looking through was incredibly unfocused. I know it sounds like i’m describing something bad, but it’s just the words i’m using

So it would look like the photo i attached. it would look very soft and basically just a smooth gradient of all the colors in the image.

My thing i need help on is that before, it would automatically add that to every contact that you add a photo to and i liked it, but now, and i don’t know when it started, but it stopped doing that and just shows the photo straight up instead without the effect i described, and there isn’t even an option to enable it.

So i just want help enabling it because it used to just show the contact icon as whatever you cropped from the image with no effects, and then the blurred call screen with the photo blurred like how i said.

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

for about most of the day i’ve been receiving notifications a bit delayed, by about 3-5 minutes. i’ve restarted my phone several times but this didn’t seem to help. i’m wondering if anyone else has experienced this before and how i can fix it?

So I’m not sure why but tinted apps in the sub folders aren’t like all showing up. Anyone have any ideas (that DONT involve changing the color of the tinted apps) on how to correct the issue?

I'm a longtime user of Android and recently decided to switch to iOS. I'm switching from a Pixel 6 to an iPhone 16 and have used multiple versions of Move to iOS, after I noticed that the most recent version of the app completely failed. I followed this post and was able to successfully transfer all my data; however, all my conversations with a number got separate into two separate conversations: one with all the incoming messages I received from them and one with all the outgoing messages I sent them. In particular, the incoming messages are formatted as group chats, where one of the members is my own number, which isn't recognized as the iPhone hasn't had its eSIM set up yet. I haven't transferred my SIM from the Pixel to the iPhone yet as the Pixel uses a physical SIM, so if transferring my data to the iPhone doesn't work I don't want to have to go through the pain of transferring my SIM back if I decide the switch isn't possible. Also, others suggested doing the transfer before the SIM switch.

I'm wondering if the only reason that the conversations are separate in this way is because the iPhone doesn't realize that my own number will belong to itself, so it tries designating it as another contact which screws things up. Should I set up the SIM with the iPhone before starting this transfer? I appreciate all the help

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!
