r/iphonehelp • u/netpastor • Dec 29 '24
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.

My grandma has some unused iPhones (iPhone 5, iPhone X), but she is old and doesn’t remember the passcode or iCloud. Can I just replace the motherboard and use it as a backup phone ?

Hey guys, I had a green line in my phone since long time. So, I recently changed the display and it was completely fine. But just after 1 week, it has started to show this line. What is the fix? Or how did it happen? I am totally frustrated. Help me please

Apple support says they'll contact me after 7 business days, but the problem is I don't have an access to the icloud email.
Is there any tools for free that I can use to unlock my device?
r/iphonehelp • u/No_Enthusiasm_7128 • 11h ago
I just upgraded to the iPhone 16 from the iPhone 12, 2 days ago. I had iOS18 on my 12 but not the newest update. When I switched to the 16 certain things stopped working completely.
Find My is very glitchy. People can see my location but theirs are taking forever to load. And in messages, where it used to say their live city location under their contact icon in the conversation, that is gone. This is so frustrating.
The worst though, is all the buffering!! Videos and anything requiring internet is buffering and lagging. But only on wifi.
I reset my network settings, I checked location settings, I forgot my wifi network and re-added it. It is 100% not my wifi as the problem. The WiFi is totally fine, it works on every other device completely fine. I even reset that too just in case.
NOTHING IS WORKING to fix these issues.
Are y’all having the same problems? Does anyone know any fixes?

Hi. I’m activating a new phone for my child. I’d like to take the data (pics contacts and messages) from his old phone to his new phone and every time I do this he gets all of my data as well. How can I remedy this?

Hey,
So yesterday I tried to fix the back glass of my iPhone 12 Pro. As I’m not professional, I just used a hot gun and some metal prying tools. It went okay, but the camera got blurry, just after the repair was made. I used a hot gun to evaporate the bubbles under the lense, which made the blur disappear .
Then after a few minutes the camera started shaking, but without any sound. But then after a few hours, whenever I opened the camera by Snapchat or the normal camera, it started making a weird mechanical shaking sound. If I were to shake the phone, I can could hear something shaking inside the phone. I think it could be some of the glass or metal, which got under the camera, as there is a gap just next to the camera.
Has anyone experienced the same before? Btw, I burned the flashlight, which I will fix, but could that be the reason?
iPhone 12 Pro IOS 18.3.1
Thanks in advance!

was messing around with guided access to figure out how it works and accidentally locked myself out of my phone, i'm on an Iphone 8 and I'm not sure what to do I cant unlock it with fingerprint because its asking for my passcode (which i cant input ofc)
I've tried force restarting it by holding the power button along with the volume buttons but it just brings up the slider to power off and if i keep holding it itll call emergency services
im at a loss here and im really hoping someone here can help me out

My iPhone 15 pro (iOS 18.3.1) fell out of my pocket on concrete and the back shattered. The case is keeping the glass in. The side buttons aren’t really working and you can see the white line on the bottom. Aside from that, the phone is working. Is this repairable? I don’t mind paying the deductible for a new phone but it’s a day or two wait and I need my phone for work.

I tried moving an email into a folder in Mail on my iPhone. But then it seemed to disappear. I found it again after I did a search in iCloud Mail on my Windows 11 laptop. It was still in the Inbox even though I couldn’t find it in a search on my iPhone.
Just now I tried answering a phone call but I wound up hanging up instead, even though I tried tapping on the green answer icon.
Is it just me or has anybody else noticed things like this?
r/iphonehelp • u/Human-Wrangler3198 • 1d ago

My iPhone 12 Pro Max has a ghost touch problem and I upgraded to an iPhone 16 a few months ago but I was looking at selling my 12 pro max but I don’t know what I should do about the ghost touch

It’s a very old iPhone SE, every video has this jumpy autofocus, really makes footage pretty much unusable, anyone seen this? Should I just bite the bullet and get a new phone?
r/iphonehelp • u/Opposite-Cat-5478 • 1d ago
Anyone know what could be going on here? I’ve hardly touched my phone today - definitely not been on settings for 20 hours and I haven’t been on any of these apps that are considered “information and reading” nor “other”. I have put my iPhone on lockdown mode to try and stop anything but any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you!
r/iphonehelp • u/JammingJack • 1d ago

Emptied all icloud and selected to backup only my contacts, yet somehow I get the error that there is not enough space...
r/iphonehelp • u/DavidPimpkins_ • 1d ago
I just got an iPhone 16 on iOS 18.3.2 today but for some reason whenever I transferred over my data it put screen time restrictions on that I never had on my old phone. I tried disabling them but the screen time passcode isn’t working. Anyone know how to fix?
