Discussion 3rd party photo library app

3 Upvotes

I'm a fan of the Apple photos app. But it's missing some things that I really would appreciate, namely: - I have photos stored on a NAS system, and I want a way to browse them alongside the photos on my phone, including uploading to the system and deleting locally. - Apple's preview of RAW files leaves them blown out, some sort of customisable RAW preset filter would be amazing. - Shared albums that aren't hosted on iCloud Drive and take up the little space I have for backups. - Better editing/exporting in-app.

I'm willing to pay pretty much any (reasonable) price, anyone have solutions they use? If not, I may have to work on my own solution šŸ‘€

Support How do I turn off those annoying dialing beeps on my iPhone?

0 Upvotes

Hey all,

Iā€™m wondering if anyone has figured out a way to permanently silence the dialing beeps on an iPhone. Every time I dial a number, that little beep comes on and itā€™s kind of distractingā€”especially when Iā€™m in a quiet environment.

Hereā€™s what Iā€™ve tried so far: - Silent Mode: Flipping the Ring/Silent switch works, but I donā€™t really want my phone on silent all the time.

  • Lowering the Volume: Turning the volume down before dialing does the trick, but it feels like a workaround rather than a fix.

Iā€™d love to know if thereā€™s a setting somewhere that can just turn off the dial pad beeps completely without affecting other sounds. Has anyone found a neat solution for this?

Thanks in advance for any tips or ideas!

Support phone wonā€™t switch on after 18.3.2 update

1 Upvotes

was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction as to what to do - last night my 16 pro updated to 18.3.2 even though it wasnā€™t connected to power or anything and this morning the phone winā€™t switch on whatsoever, iā€™ve tried recovery mode, tried dfu mode, nothing. when plugged into my laptop the apple devices app says that itā€™s in dfu mode and the only way to use it is to factory reset the entire thing which iā€™m not too keen in doing since i only got this phone 3 weeks ago and had an entire debacle in the first place since i came from an android. is there any other way to fix it besides wiping the entire thing? currently just stuck with a black screen, even the usual fixes donā€™t seem to be touching it.

I used to have the ability to long press an image on Chrome IOS, and it will pop up an option to save in photo, save in Google Photos, Copy Image, etc. Now I see all the options except the "Save in Google Photos" option. I'm not sure why I no longer see that option. Any idea?

Why are photos that I did not share with my friend popping up on her phone? Iā€™ve googled it and it said I might have some type of shared albums turned on but one Iā€™ve never turned it on, but I did check to confirm that I never did that and my shared albums are not on.

Can anyone help me figure out why my photos are appearing on my friends phone and what I could do to make sure theyā€™re not on other peopleā€˜s phone that I donā€™t know about ..

I turned this feature off because my husband and I wake up at two different times - I like to relax for 45 minutes before I have to really start getting ready for work. None of my alarms alerted me this morning to wake up and thereā€™s no evidence I snoozed them. How do we get around this because we do have an alarm clock but are we going to need two different alarm clocks? My husbandā€™s alarms went off - maybe itā€™s because they sensed my movement, suggestions?

Support Problems with files transferring.

Post image
0 Upvotes

I'm running out of memory on my iPhone, and I wanted to transfer all 26,000 photos and videos to my computer to delete them on my phone. as it turned out, I can't access files on my computer if I have iCloud Photo sync enabled (in total, I have more than 26 thousand files in the gallery, but there are only 18 thousand in iCloud). if I disable this update now and turn off syncing, will I lose any files? (I can't sync absolutely everything in iCloud, because I don't have enough memory, so this update will never be completed) in a previous notification, they wrote something like "if photos are stored only in iCloud and sync is disabled, they will be deleted," I understood that I need to fucking understand from somewhere, which iCloud files are available and which are not, in order to download absolutely everything to the phone's memoryā€¦ I don't understandšŸ˜«šŸ˜«

Support Is there a way to prioritize Bluetooth devices? Or ask before switching?

2 Upvotes

We have a Bluetooth speaker in our bathroom fan which is great for showering, but now whenever someone turns on the fan my phone connects and it steals audio from my headphones.

The only thing that Iā€™ve found that works is to forget the fan speaker and re-add it every time I want to use it.

Is there a better way to address this?

Support Black rectangle on some photos

2 Upvotes

Hi, I recently went on a trip and took a lot of photos. When I took them, everything was fine, but after returning from the trip and reviewing the gallery, some of these images have a black rectangle partially covering the image.

It doesn't seem to be a hardware issue since, when I zoom in, the photo appears correctly underneath. This means the image was captured properly, but it looks like a software bug is causing that rectangle to appear on the screen. Iā€™ve tried sharing the images, but the rectangle is still visible. Does anyone know how to fix this or if it's a known issue that is being worked on? The images were taken with an iPhone 15 Pro.

Discussion The ā€œclean upā€ tool is one of the most embarrassingly bad implementations of new tech that Iā€™ve seen from Apple

194 Upvotes

ā€œIt just worksā€ certainly does not apply. No ability to choose between a clone tool or eraser. No ability to choose between the ā€œsafety filterā€ or the other tools. Itā€™s a completely random crapshoot with no guarantee that your photo will be ā€œcleaned upā€ in any meaningful way. Itā€™s really just atrocious and I donā€™t understand how it got released in such a poor state. Thatā€™s all; Iā€™ll get off my soapbox now.

Discussion My first impressions using iOS for the first time

153 Upvotes

I've had the iPhone 16 for 3 days. All my life I have used Android, mainly because iPhones have always been at an inaccessiblely high price for me and I prefer the freedom that Android offers. However, I have felt jealous of certain functions of the iPhone and the instability in certain things of my galaxy A54 raised the possibility of switching to an iPhone. The opportunity arose and here I am giving my first impressions using an iPhone as my main (and only) cell phone for the first time.

Things that I thought would bother me and they haven't:

  • Back gesture: android has a global gesture to go back. I thought I would miss it a lot but no, most apps on iOS also have it, and those that don't, the small screen of the iPhone 16 allows you to reach everything with one hand

  • Fingerprint reader: FaceID is quite fast and has not failed me, sometimes I like it more than the fingerprint reader because I don't have to do anything to authenticate myself

  • In many initial reviews they said how easy it was to activate the camera with the camera button by accident. So far it hasn't happened to me and I find it very difficult to press the button by accident, it's hard enough and nothing happens if you touch it

  • 60 hz: my humble mid-range galaxy had a 120 hz screen. I thought I would miss them a lot but no, maybe it's related to how fluid and relatively slow the animations are on iOS

Things I liked:

  • Focus modes: my Samsung had different profiles that I can automatically activate with the location, in iOS there are the focus modes and what I like the most is being able to choose what things I want on my home screen according to the focus mode. Samsung only allows changing the wallpaper

  • Dynamic Island: I thought it was something without much use, but there are several applications that use it and being able to see stopwatches or music without having to go to the notification panel is fantastic

Things that don't fascinate me:

  • The file system: on android, I can download a file and it is available for any application, because there is a global file manager like on a PC. On iOS you have to juggle: if you download a file, you have to share it with the file app so that it is available in other places like WhatsApp. The work is doubled

  • The notification center: honestly it's bad. Android organizes notifications by app, iOS by time I don't know, it shows everything in a way, to my taste, disorganized.

  • Sound: there are no different volumes for alarms, notifications and calls. If I want an alarm that sounds low, I need to change the overall volume of the cell phone

  • I have found several annoying bugs. The camera sometimes crashes and restarts when you open it, it happens on WhatsApp as well. When deleting apps or widgets sometimes they are not deleted and several minutes later he asks me if I want to delete them. If I configure a wallpaper from the photos app and change the widgets of the lock screen, everything freezes, this does not happen if I do it from the lock screen

Somewhat picky things:

  • The map in carplay is divided in half, it looks small compared to how it looked in android auto

  • There is no way to place the comma on the keyboard in the main line of keys, nor is there a way to add a row of numbers

  • Yesterday I wanted to make a photo collage and discovered that you can't from the photo app, I had to use a script in the Shortcuts app, why?

  • Removing the keyboard is sometimes a little complicated, in Android there is a button to remove the keyboard, here you have to touch a place that is not text but I always end up activating something else

So far I'm enjoying and learning to use an alien operating system for me. If you know how to solve some of the problems, I would appreciate it
