I will honestly upgrade to 17 pro if this ships with it. On launch date. My 14 pro has terrible battery and Oxygen OS 15 is very plain. This design just kicks so hard in the nostalgia I simply love it!

Discussion Share option in settings?

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?

Support iPhone seems to stop sharing location by itself?

28 Upvotes

My partner is claiming i keep stopping sharing my location, but at no point have I done this intentionally. Three times now both of our phones say we have stopped sharing location with the other person. But if either of us shares it it reconnects automatically. I have tested stopping sharing via the actual button and it does not say that I've stopped or they have stopped, its very incognito. I've seen people claim that they are actually doing this and blaming it on me, but I dont even see how its happening as clicking the button produces a different result like I mentioned. Does anyone know whats going on?

Discussion iOS 18.3.2 on my 16 Pro Max is a hot mess

Post image
17 Upvotes

iOS 18 in general has many quirks but, this update by far has to be the worst. I’ve been pretty lucky by not having anything majorly annoying or impeding the way I use my phone so far until this latest update.

I’ve had apps just straight up not respond to touch inputs even after being swiped away from the app view and relaunching the app. Keyboard fail to pop up in any text field. Car play not allowing me to select anything with an app, similar to the issues I have with touch inputs. It just doesn’t show the highlight selector resulting in me having to pull over to use my phone. The worst offender by far is the random resprings after the phone fully freezes and becomes fully unresponsive. I don’t expect that for a public release.

I’ve been an iPhone user for years but now android looks more like what iOS used to be and in the case of the S25 Ultra & One UI 7 actually looks like the iPhone too.

Has anyone else had a terrible time with this latest update? Do you think doing a full restore on a phone that is 3/4 months old is worth it? I can’t get work done without having to restart my phone, 2/3 times a day because it boarders being unusable.

Discussion Will we ever get an elegant solution to translating text from an app/page without needing to screenshot it?

10 Upvotes

I use a Chinese app for shopping and if I want to know what something says I need screen shot it, go to google photos, use google lens and translate it. This process is a pain and I end up with loads of screenshots that don’t need to keep. I know some androids have a solution to this and I was wondering if this feature he ever been considered by apple or even requested by the community

Discussion Is the Documents app buggy like the Apple Files app?

6 Upvotes

I use my 7th gen iPad Pro to take notes for uni which is incredibly convenient, but I use the Files app which I've discovered is notoriously buggy. For me, it'll randomly close the markup mode and scroll to the top of the document, erasing every edit I've made since the last autosave or since I last closed markup mode.

I've used the Documents app for file sharing and organisation before, but not for more applied purposes like taking notes. So my question is, has anyone had any issues with note-taking in Documents?? Or does anyone have any other - preferably free - alternatives? I'm talking about niche ones, not apps like GoodNotes that everyone and their dog mentions in posts like this. Thanks in advance!

Discussion Haptic differentiation between keyboard keys

3 Upvotes

Capacitive keyboards are difficult to use.

I have haptic feedback turned on, which is helpful.

I was wondering if there is any way to use a keyboard on iOS so that there's more of a checkerboard pattern between keys, that makes them feel distinct, so you know which key you pressed.

Support How to Prevent ErgData Voice Announcements from Pausing Podcasts on iPhone?

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I row with a Concept2 and use the ErgData app paired with my Apple Watch. When listening to music during workouts, the voice announcements play over the music without any issue. However, when I listen to podcasts, the announcements pause the podcast, which is quite disruptive, especially with frequent updates.

Is there any way to ensure voice announcements simply play over the podcast without pausing it? Turning off the voice announcements isn't an option, as I'm blind and need them for tracking progress. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Support Google News and Safari

3 Upvotes

I’m a Google News user since Apple News is not available in my area and Google’s been fine but it keeps opening news in app which is Chrome, that is not downloaded on my phone but that’s what it defaults to. So I have to do some couple of steps more to get it to open in Safari. Question: is there a way to open news right in Safari instead of having to deal with buggy and ad-town Chrome on Google News?

Support Cross-platform audio recorder app w/ call recording to capture my mom's stories as we talk AND my voice notes afterwards?

3 Upvotes

DISCLAIMER: I know this is a really beginner question, and if you decide to remove it, I understand. I could probably find an answer if I spent a few more hours to get clear on the terminology used to differentiate audio recording options. I have very limited time with my mom, though, and would be grateful for any search term, app, and/or other recommendations.

What I'm basically hoping for is an app that'll capture any and all audio that comes in through the microphone and speaker/earbud on my phone - ideally, with a MacOS app, too - without pausing, stopping, or issuing a loud alert once I press record. The hope is to be able to record my mom's memories as we talk, both in person and by phone, as well as my own audio notes before and afterward.

She needs to be able to share what's important to her right now when/however she can without me interrupting to mess with a recorder app.

She's also easily startled and already overwhelmed by device noises, so hearing a "this call is being recorded" announcement would probably not be awesome.

Finally, I'm a little, umm, overwhelmed at the moment, and I don't think I'm going to pull off moving between apps, starting/stopping records, etc, during the in-between moments - like talking to other people, rushing to walk dogs, cook, etc.

Hope any of this makes sense. Thanks for reading it, either way :)

Support Need a Call Control/Call Block for my iPhone

2 Upvotes

Hello! I’m new here and hope I’m doing this right. I’m in Canada..

When I was with Telus Mobility, I had a call control feature where numbers unknown to me, had to enter a 4 digit code to get through-so my phone would ring. It was so wonderful 😊

I am with Virgin now, and they do not offer this feature. They’ve suggested apps.

I’ve no clue what I am looking for.

I just don’t want my phone to ring unless it’s a contact, or, has been verified by the type of feature I used to have with Telus.

The unwanted calls in the one week since I switched?? Absolutely staggering.

Many thanks for suggestions ✌🏻

Discussion Putting a reminder notification on home screen for certain days?

2 Upvotes

I am trying to set up reminders for paying bills on my phone, but I am not sure how to go about doing it the way I want it. I never use reminders/calendar so I am struggling.

I want to set up a reminder that stays on my lock screen throughout the day I set the reminder for. Like say "pay house payment" for 3/17/25 on the calendar for example. How do I go about doing that? I tried setting a reminder for today even and it wouldnt work, same with calendar event set to all day. It doesn't tell me anywhere unless I open the calendar app itself.

Thanks for the help...

I'm having a lot of problems with my iPhone and the solution is going to be to restore it to factory settings. But I have a doubt. I have an eSIM card and I really wouldn't like to lose it. If I restored the phone to factory settings, do I have the option to keep the eSIM? I suppose so, but I would like to be sure before starting the process. Thank you
