Siri (on iOS) Confuses Other Voices With Mine
by Guest /u/rudibowie- 0 replies
- 10 views
I don't recall in which iOS release this was introduced but some time ago Apple elongated the listening period at the end of each user exchange with Siri, just to check there wasn't a follow-up question from the user. I think the intention here was to add 'context', so you didn't need to repeat everything again in small, follow-up questions. They way Apple executed this was simply to leave the listening window open for longer, thereby extending the length of the exchange. So, Siri listens for a seconds after one stops speaking. The laziness of this approach is that Siri no longer identifies voices once a conversation has begun. It thinks it doesn't need to. The result …

iOS keyboard text replacement questions regarding the space at the end and advanced usage.
by Guest /u/Organic_Lifeguard378- 0 replies
- 16 views
I have a few questions about text replacement in iOS. First, when I type my shortcut, I can get it to be entered by either tapping the spacebar or tapping the suggestion above the keyboard. Either way, it puts a space at the end. Is there a way to NOT have this space? Because I use it to populate my email address, and some form fields don’t accept the extra space after my email when logging in. So I always have to backspace after entering my shortcut. Second question: I want to be able to finish a word without spaces in it where the end of the word is a shortcut phrase. Say my phrase is “@emaildomain.com” and my shortcut is “eml”. I want to be able to type “namee…

Can’t download or upload images on anything
by Guest /u/Cookie_Chips84- 0 replies
- 14 views
I’ve not installed iOS 18.2 because I don’t have the storage, so maybe that’s the problem but I can no longer download images from apps, or upload them either, I just get error messages, I would show an example with Reddit but I can’t even upload an image to show it, it just says reddits needs access to my photos, go to iOS settings and Reddit to enable, but everything is already enabled. Things used to work just fine and now I can’t upload or download images from anything and every app tells me to just allow it in settings, which everything is already allowed, and a button which takes me straight to its settings as well so I know I’m not looking in the wrong place sub…

iPad Air 5 Can’t Download IOS 18 despite having 10 gb of free space. iOS 18 says it’s only a 4GB update?
by Guest /u/HeyGuyNumber2- 0 replies

Title is self explanatory. iPad says it has 54gb of used storage out of 64. What gives? Next course of action, my iMessage takes up 28gb of storage on my iPad. What is this dumbass system where if you delete messages from device it deletes messages all the way around. Seems like a ridiculous and obvious oversight on Apple’s part entirely. How do I delete stuff on my iPad specifically on iMessage without deleting everything from my iPhone? I’ve deleted all apps except for the ones I actually use, i don’t have the wnerg to scroll through camera roll and individually pick out and delete videos and photos. You know for something claimed to be easy to use, IOS actu…

Hi everyone, in the below screenshot, there are multiple duplicate files with the same size but different filename.

New iPhone 16 Pro Max named "iPhone 13 Pro Max" in devices
by Guest woolypants- 0 replies
- 5 views
Got a new iPhone 16 Pro Max yesterday and restored from iCloud backup from my old iPhone 13 Pro Max (which is still a great phone BTW!). I had massive issues getting Messages and FaceTime to work, which involved getting a new blank SIM from a store and having them transfer my number across. But an issue is that it's named in Devices within Settings as my old phone. I cannot find anywhere to change this. Any ideas? https://forums.macrumors.com/attachments/img_0010-jpeg.2462265/ Continue reading...

iPhone to iPhone USB C data transfer?
by Guest yoheywut- 0 replies
- 7 views
I’m a bit surprised I can’t seem to find a verified answer for this yet, but can anyone confirm that on Friday, when I pick up my new 16 Pro, I can do the restore from back up data transfer over USB C from my iPhone 15 Pro? I know the traditional restore from backup routes are over local WiFi, or from an iCloud backup, or back in the day using a Mac and iTunes backups. But given this is the first year with a new and old phone having USB C, I was wondering if I can quickly transfer directly... Read more Continue reading...

I've been having this issue for a few years and I'm at a loss for what is going on. When I open the messages app, click on a person's name, and then open the full list of photos that we have sent to each other, some of the pictures have the screen mirroring logo instead of a thumbnail (see example attached). This has been occurring for a few years now on multiple devices (iPhone, iPad, Mac). It has occurred on different iPhones despite restoring and reindexing. I find it's mostly...

Weekly iOS Battery Support Megathread
by Guest /u/AutoModerator- 0 replies
- 4 views
General advice for those concerned about their battery from the Support FAQ Wiki: Battery health Battery health depends on usage and a variety of other factors. It is normal to see a decrease in battery health by 7-10% per year, resulting in a battery health of 80-85% after 2 years. This number can fluctuate, remain the same, or decrease quickly over a small period and should not cause undue concern. Apple recommend battery replacement when your device falls below 80% battery health if you notice reduced battery life. If it falls below 80% within the first year you may be eligable for a free battery replacement. It fails after your warranty, it's a $69-$89 USD re…

I’m seriously not impressed by anything related to Apple “intelligence” or any AI related product by Apple
by Guest /u/NightMan200000- 0 replies
- 13 views
I think they bit more than they could chew with the whole Apple Intelligence marketing. Instead, they should have solely focused a Siri overhaul first. Not only that, but the battery life, and the smoothness of iOS 18 has been terrible Apple in general has seriously dropped the ball in the software department in general. they are killing it on the hardware side of things though. I think instead of looking to shove features we don’t need, they should focus on refining or improving the existing features first submitted by /u/NightMan200000 [link] [comments]

18.2 Mail icons…what’s the point of these things?

They serve no purpose, look cheesy and obfuscate the very useful unread icon. Apple…please stop fixing what isn’t broken. A cheap stock icon of a city doesn’t enhance my email experience at all.

Disappointed with iOS 18.2

So where do I start? It’s almost been 12 years since I started using iOS and this was the most frustrating experience I’ve ever had with iOS. I’ve always had the best and smoother experience with iOS, but with 18.2, damn I regret updating to it. I have the iPhone 16 pro max and my phone resprings out of nowhere when i open the app switcher. Didn’t have this issue with ios 18.1. - Not all the time, but about 20% While switching the focus modes with different icons are either tinted or in different mode (dark to light or viceversa), the icons in the dock don’t switch to the appropriate mode and just stay as they were in the previous focus mode.

Lately, there's been a lot of complaints about all variety of issues with iOS. Yet somehow in the comments there's always people saying they have no issues, or they haven't experienced some bugs but have other issues. Even with the same phones, it's the same hardware, how come the software experience can be so different depending on the user? submitted by /u/cuftapolo [link] [comments]

Has iOS 18 been incredibly buggy for you all?
by Guest /u/hopenoonefindsthis- 0 replies

Seriously I don’t remember an iOS being this buggy in so long. It is making me seriously considering alternatives for my next phone. I’m currently on 18.1.1 on my 15PM, and I’m experiencing daily app freezing, the phone crashes (and needing a force restart) at least one a month, the icons regularly takes seconds to load after they enabled those icons customisation. I’m getting real sick of this tbh. submitted by /u/hopenoonefindsthis [link] [comments]

ios 18.2 no sender icons
by Guest /u/Active-Drive-7749- 0 replies

months ago i was happy that apple announced a redesign of their (completely outdated imho) mail app on iPhone, including sender icons. this is one of the features i miss the most and therefore i am using gmail app right now but usually i prefer using stock apps. now, in the redesigned mail app, there are circles for the sender icons but since updating to 18.2 i have never seen a proper sender icon, not even sender icons for big companies like Amazon are being displayed properly like in gmail app. Is this feature bugged right now or is there any other reason why i don't see any correct sender icons at all? submitted by /u/Active-Drive-7749 [link] [comments]
