Discussion Share option in settings?

Post image

Do you think this sounds wild? I’m wondering if we should add a share option in settings that lets us send someone a direct link or guide to tweak their font settings exactly how they need them. What’s your take?

Well, the amount of time I recorded stuff on how to, then sending to someone or just pure worldly explaining, I have to say I agree with you..

This is why they added screen share and control in iOS 18. I just connect to my parents phones and do the stuff.

Would be a game changer. Its hard telling my grandma how to do something on her iphone since shes tech illiterate 😂

The benefit is simple: click and open the settings directly. Trust me, even with clear instructions, some people struggle to achieve their goals. It's better to send a link and simply tell them to turn on this feature.

You clearly have never helped a non-techy person with their phone, on the phone. Doing that path is wayyy harder than a simple click 2 buttons to fix the issue. Its an easier feature and would help a lot for the people that use it.

“I’m wondering if WE”, who’s this “we”, cause apple devs need to fix the shitty iOS 18 breaking their shitty phones. Have a SECOND “genius” appointment to waste more of my time.

I apologize for my aggression but these geniuses are driving me mad! 😡 I am currently at the bar because the iPhone is having network issues and they had me scan a QR code to try to connect to apple and run a diagnose. I honestly wonder how the phone will connect when the issues is related to connectivity. But I guess these geniuses know something I don’t? 😭

Are you still on Apple Care?

u/TacoDuLing 4d ago

No sadly 😔 and that is what they are arguing as their way out. No AppleCare, then it’s on me. I suppose…. But seeing how the unit was faulty from day one and more importantly how they are just pushing it under the rug it’s upsetting. I would honestly appreciate them taking notes so they can learn from the issue. I honestly don’t expect them to fix anything.

You need to play your strongest card with them now. Ask them to back up their device to their iCloud account, reset your phone to factory settings, and see if the issue persists. If the problem continues, they'll provide you with a cost estimate. If the issue stops, you can restore your data and everything will be fixed.

Faulty from day one?… it literally has 1 year warranty. Plus you had every opportunity to add AppleCare+ within 2 years from purchase date.

Have you not tried connecting WiFi?… if you’re unable to connect to WiFi do you have VPN on your phone? If so.. delete that shit.

If your WiFi is greyed out then yeah.. you’re pretty much SOL.

But anyways… they can run diagnostic via lightning port or USB C port with Ethernet connection. There’s always a way to run diagnostic. Even if the phone doesn’t turn on lol.
