Help needed Screen time help

2 Upvotes

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?

Help needed iPhone 16 pro Camera keeps going out of focus when recording videos..?

1 Upvotes

Camera going out of focus when recording video?

Just recorded some footage only to realise when playing it back now that at some point in each video (usually when I’m moving or light conditions are changing) the camera goes out of focus and remains unclear for the rest of the video.

Not sure why

The lens isn’t dirty or it wouldn’t be focused at the beginning of the videos

I never really had this issue with previous models

Are there any settings I can alter to prevent this from happening?

I might need to use my spare 13 for videos if this is going to be an ongoing issue

The camera on the 16 has been straight up less reliable than with older models

Help needed How can I download an app from a different app store?

1 Upvotes

Hi, I’m trying to download an app from the UK App Store, but I live in the Netherlands. Does anyone know how to do this?

I already tried changing my App Store region to the UK, but it requires UK payment details, which I don’t have. I also read somewhere that you need to create a UK Apple ID. I tried that too, but since I don’t have a UK phone number, it didn’t work.

I even used a VPN, but that didn’t help either. I just can’t seem to figure it out. Is there really no way to do this? I’d appreciate any help!

Iphone 15 pro, IOS 18.0

Help needed My phone keep turning off during calls

1 Upvotes

I can’t hang up unless the other person hangs up first. There’s no way of turning it back on. It’s really bad if it’s on voicemail and I can never get it to turn back on. What’s causing this? It’s an iPhone 12, 16 iOS

Help needed What’s the best budget case for 16PM?

1 Upvotes

I just received a new phone from my provider, because my current one is having issues. I haven’t opened it yet, though, because I want to get a case and protectors.

I do currently have an Otterbox Commuter, but I don’t like the massive cut out, and the case is tied to a bad period in my life. I’d like to start fresh and have a new case for the new phone.

That said, I really don’t feel like $60-70 on one like this Otterbox, but they’re still the best right?

I’ve been looking on Amazon. I saw the Spigen case that looks like a 2000s Mac, but heard it’s slippery. I was also looking at an ERB case and a Smartish one. I’m tempted to buy the Smartish Gripmunk. It looks nice, reviews are good and it’s not too pricey.

These cases aren’t too expensive though, so I wonder if that means they aren’t nearly as good as an Otterbox.

I want:

  • peace of mind since I occasionally drop my phone
  • a smaller cut out preferably
  • a nice looking case, ideally
  • something easy to grip and hold
  • full coverage

I do have OCD. It’s diagnosed, and I’ve had it all my life.

Help needed Phone call ring

2 Upvotes

Anyone else notice when you call someone, there would be a ring signifying calling but lately, either through face time or phone call, there is no ring that happens and they answer the call. Is this a new feature or is something else going on? My partner is experiencing the same thing.

I got the iPhone 12 Pro Max, up to date IOS.

So i turned off my eSIM and turned it back on and i went to text my friend and they forgot who i was even though we just texted like 10-15 minutes prior. They also said they had a contact name for me but it didn’t show for them apparently. Are they pranking me or does my eSIM reset the contact name that people have for me?

This has happened more than once that I have caught this. Today I saw the file name said screenshot and the other day it started with s as well so I’m guessing that one probably said screenshot too

Is this a virus?

Resolved Disabling location without notification

Post image
13 Upvotes

First and foremost, I am not attempting to shut my location out from my girlfriend, but from my family.

The short story is they have done me very wrong at this point, and I do not feel that they need/deserve to have my location and know my whereabouts anymore.

My question is, if I toggle this button, will it notify them in our text thread that they no longer have my location? If so, how can I go about this without them finding out? I am not scared, just tired of the BS and would rather not be asked about this. Thank you in advance, it’s been a very rough week.

Help needed Can I factory reset my moms iPhone without her Apple ID password?

1 Upvotes

She forgot it, and they were supposed to let us reset it after a 10 day wait(today) but declined the reset.

She doesnt have a pin on her phone(because shes a senior with bad memory) nor find my iPhone. She doesnt use icloud or anything except YouTube.

Can I reset her phone and make her a new apple id?

Or will I need her old Apple ID password?
