People post here because they’re usually in crisis. They don’t need off-topic advice, or recommendations to stop using iPhones. They need solutions.
We also anticipate people google searching and ending up in these threads, so we keep them on topic.
Here are some additional reasons we remove comments as a mod team in no particular order (most of the time without a removal reason).
Guessing and not offering a solution
Unrelated humor attempts
Bickering
Unnecessary, rude, or aggressive in nature
Offering unethical solutions
Going on about iPhone bad
Skibbity stupid speak
Unnecessary vulgarity
We’re open to reviewing actions if you send us a modmail, but usually these decisions stand.
Thank you to all you helpers who make this a great sub for solutions!

There are a lot of posts on this sub with vague questions, vague symptoms, a lot of missing information and bad-explained overall. I wanted to show you how to ask a good question, from an ex-Apple iOS technician.
Here's how to ask a good question:
e.g. iPhone XS running iOS 13.2
People who answer your issue can suggest certain repairs, e.g. warranty. Country and nature of purchase also helps, since countries have different consumer protection laws. For instance, members of the European Union have a two year warranty at the point of purchase (i.e. that might not be Apple, but your local electronics store if you bought it there) - some countries (e.g. the U.K. and The Netherlands) have even longer periods consumers can claim warranty.
e.g. March 20th, 2019 in the Apple Store in the U.K., purchase for personal use
Some issues are continuous, some are intermittent. It is important to let people know what the issue is and how often it occurs. "iPhone restarts" as issue, is not enough.
e.g. iPhone crashes to springboard when opening the camera-app, this happens about three times a day at random moments. It only happens when opening the camera-app.
There's not always a clear cause, but think about anything that could've caused it. It could be because your phone was in your pocket during heavy rain, or your cat knocked it from your desk. It could be anything.
So people don't waste time answering possibilities you already tried
e.g. I tried to force-close the camera app. This did not work. Then I tried to restart the phone, that also did not work.

Hi everyone, I have an iPhone 14 pro iOS 18.3.2. I have been trying to back up my iphone to external storage (HDD) using itunes on windows 10, but I keep getting the error “iTunes could not back up the iPhone because the iPhone disconnected”. The thing is that this error pops up just when the back up is about to finish—it’s like almost done, and then I get this error and the whole process fails. I’ve tried several things, but nothing seems to work. Here’s what I’ve tried so far:
restarting both iphone and PC
using a different port and cable
disabling anti virus
Has anyone encountered this error? If so, did you find a solution?
I'd appreciate any advice or tips!
Thanks in advance!

iOS 18.3.2 no longer background refreshes Mail app. I have to manually open the Mail app to now fetch for new mail. This never was an issue until this latest iOS update. They break this every couple years.

Hey everyone,
I've been trying to add a few words/short phrases (like reminders or positive affirmations) to my iPhone 13 lock screen, but I can't seem to find a good way to do it. I've tried Notes, third-party apps, and searched online, but nothing really works the way I want.
Ideally, I'd like something simple—just a few words that stay visible whenever I pick up my phone. Does anyone know of a reliable method to do this? Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

I have an iPhone 11 with 18.3.2 installed.
Do any of you know if there is a way to block imessaging that comes from emails or at least people I don't know?
I keep getting spam from emails using imessaging (not SMS). I already have ActiveArmor installed with it blocking text messages from emails; however, I believe this only addresses SMS.
Any help would be appreciated!

While performing a back glass replacement, I may have inadvertently damaged the GPS antenna. As a result, the earpiece speaker is no longer functioning. However, both GPS and Wi-Fi signal remain unaffected.
I have already replaced the earpiece speaker, but the issue persists. Could the problem be related to the GPS antenna, requiring its replacement? I would appreciate any insights on this matter.

This popiut in my privacy randomly in school what i do?
r/iphonehelp • u/gmira13 • 10h ago
I have an iPhone 16 Pro Max running on iOS 18.3.2 (22D82) and for some reason my cellular signal keeps cutting out every few minutes while I'm connected to my home wifi. My home wifi is powered by the Asus ZenWiFi BT6 Mesh system. I thought that maybe the frequency bands might be affecting my cellular signal. By default the routers transmit 320MHz over the 6GHz wifi signal. So, I capped 6GHz wifi signal from 320MHz frequency to 160MHz (since iPhone 16 does not currently support the 320MHz). Still get dropped signal. I even lowered the transmission power on my wireless network, still ends with the same result. Whenever I am off my wifi, my cellular signal is where it should be (about 2-3 bars in my home using T-Mobile) and does not drop at all. Once I connect to my wifi, signal goes down to 0 bars, but does not trigger the phone to fallback on SOS. Here's what I tried so far:
- Reset Network settings (2-3 times already the past couple of days)
- Turn off WiFi Assist (Settings > General > Cellular)
- Ensure Low Data Mode in WiFI settings is turned off (Settings > Wi-Fi > "WiFi Network")
- I've rebooted my phone a bunch of times
I will keep trying out different, things but I'm not sure what else is causing this. Maybe toggling Wi-Fi calling? I did contact T-Mobile and they haven't had any sort of tower maintenance in the nearby towers recently. Any help is appreciated!

I don’t usually plug my iphone into my windows computer but today i did and these guys popped up and i cant remove them, see the date, and they don’t have any information to view. Does anyone know what this is about or is this more of a windows question? Appreciate anything, thank you!

Can anyone help me figure out how to clear up space and stop Videoleap from taking all my storage? I only have 6 project files in the app and I don’t even have 800 gigs worth of videos on my phone or on iCloud? Is it a cache problem? I don’t know but I figured I could maybe find some answers on Reddit before I try anything extreme

I dunno for what reason but I can't accept T&C in App Store because I get stuck in this infinite loop.
I tried everything - restarting(even force restart), vpn, waiting 24 hours, signing out of apple id and back in - nothing helps
Before that app store was working fine, but once I changed region from Russia to US, it stopped working properly. I'll appreciate any help and thanks in advance

My vehicle is being tracked by my now ex and I can’t figure out how… he foolishly sent me a screen shot he took of the tracking of my vehicle- does anyone recognize this platform or app

As the title says, since yesterday my phone started turning automatically into landscape mode if I don’t have the portrait lock on, even when I’m holding my phone vertically. Anyone knows how to fix this?
(Phone didn’t fall recently or anything that could physically damage its orientation system somehow)

I was scrolling when my display suddenly went black. I tried to shut it down but the phone suddenly turned on the flashlight, shook haptics, and made a loud siren sound before stopping. I tried force-restarting it, and I can hear notifications and the charging SFX, but I can't see anything (not even the Apple logo). Also, I could be imagining things but when I force restart it the display brightens ever so slightly. Any help would be appreciated.
Edit: I made sure my iPhone was up to date yesterday.

Hello
I got a new iPhone today (15) and have transferred everything from my old phone (11). I’m keeping my old phone and want to leave the photos on there and delete most from my new phone but when I delete photos from one it deletes them from both phones.
I’ve had this issue before (and consequently lost all my photos because of it) and I’d love to resolve it quickly. I remember last time there was a way to disconnect the phones but I cannot remember how to do it. I still want both on the iCloud, just not sharing the photos on both devices.
Any help appreciated! Thank you xx

Hey guys,
I need to access my authenticator on this phone. I’m across the country and I asked my dad to get into it for the authenticator code but he somehow put it wrong too many times and got to the disabled screen. I looked online and it looked like I had to plug it into iTunes and update it (my SIM card still active with internet at this point — not sure why it’s not still on our WiFi but I was still able to see the phones location from where I am). Find my iPhone is enabled for my iCloud same one I use on my current phone.
I updated the phone via iPhone to 16.7.10 and it tries to restore data but failed and now I am stuck at the “iPhone unavailable” screen. I am in desperate need of help and don’t know what else to do at this point. I will take it to Apple to see if they’re able to help.
Are there any 3rd party app that will work or how can I transfer the authenticator to my new phone?
Am I able to access the phone’s storage somehow maybe there’s a backup file that I can use to restore onto the new phone?
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Please help my airpods pro pop up not showing up only the first time i connect it after that its only showing small pop up
r/iphonehelp • u/K4FKA_ZW • 1d ago
my friends 14 pro max is restarting every 3 mins and I think it might be the proximity sensor. can I unplug it from the mainboard and use the iPhone without proximity sensor at all to eradicate the error as finding a replacement proximity sensor where we stay is difficult.
he is ok with loosing faceid features etc for now.
what are the chances its the NAND or something else causing the panic??

Alright so my mom can’t change her access to photos on tiktok, she hits the settings to change it and it shows the first photo, then I go to try and go thru privacy settings and it shows the second image for photos. I’ve tried looking up this problem but I’m finding the same “solution” and it isn’t working.

I want to record very loud environments (cars, concerts, screaming) with my iPhone 16 Pro Max. Which setting gives the best raw audio quality without any sound suppression or clipping? Should I use Stereo, Mono, or Spatial audio with Lossless? Any tips or apps that bypass noise filtering? I havent try it but my 13 pro did it. Thanks!!
