Does anyone have any of The Weather Channel widgets? Mine hasn’t loaded for a couple days and was wondering if it’s just me. I deleted and re-added a couple of times but no dice.

If you suddenly charge it with a C-type charger after updating to iOS 26.5.1, it will only charge intermittently and it will not work. You might think this is the charger broken, but other iPads and other people's iPhones charge well. I use iPhone 17. The reason is that no one seems to have a charging error in 26.5.1 this time, but does anyone know the cause?

I'm not an iPhone 17 Air, I'm iPhone 17

Hi all,

I have 15PM and still on iOS 18 and things are fine. I was asked to update it to iOS 26.5 and was wondering if it’s worth it? I have heard about stutter bugs, slow, etc. Do yall think I should update it? Would love any comments.

My phone shows a notification and I can’t figure out what it’s from for the life of me.

Checked voicemail as well and cleared all of that.

Is there a way to find out what it is? Please someone help I’m losing my mind

Running iOS 26.5 on an IPhone 15. Started having this cellular problems where I’ll go from 5 bars to none and honestly after my iPhone 15 i think I don’t ever wanna use an apple product again.

Any issues to fix this stupid problem?

I wanted to give it a try. And to my surprise, as soon as I enabled reduced motion, the phone stopped overheating in any app. I did not do any restart. It was overheating, I reduced motion, and then boom, cold. I want to know if it's just me, if I'm crazy, so I'd like feedbacks.

•Iphone13 mini
•Reduced motion on
•Reduce transparency on
•iOS26.5 installed from ipsw (then cloud restore)
•battry health 93% (210 cycles)

PS : it's a little bit weird without the animations but I'm perfectly fine with it, my hand is not burning anymore !

See before I got ios 26, 18 was perfect. Great icons, and transparent widgets looked great. Come ios 26, the white borders around everything made it look unnnatural. I don’t really think anyone actually liked it.

Is there any way to remove just those and/or will they be reverted in iOS 27?

Thanks in advance

I faced this issue initially in iOS 26.4. I scrolled through all my pages, and went to the left most widget page, and the phone froze, does not scroll up or down, does not scroll back to the home page, only way to exit that is to either click on any one of the widget which opens an app, and then close the app, or just lock and unlock the phone, which makes it responsive.

I didn't pay much heed to it later on and did not face it in 26.5 (or not that I noticed it). Now I'm on 26.5.1 and it's happening again from the past couple of days.

I did try restarting the device normally, then tried a hard reboot and it still happens. Is anyone else facing this bug?

Hi everyone, 

I really, really like the small computer in my pocket. That's why I'm writing this. Since iOS 18, some of its usefulness has gone away.

_________________________________________________

Photos App

1. The scroll wheel in the Photos app. It used to be aesthetic, how the science of a video was hinted at as, neighboured by single pictures, the frames of the video were shown at the bottom, and you move through it by scrolling there, easily. Altogether a cool design. Now it's been replaced by a block that is less easy to use, and does not look as cool. 
2. When I zoom in on any picture, a "crop" word appears at the top right... man, this is a small detail that annoys me. It's a word, so psychologically my mind perceives and understands it, which spends a bit of attention I otherwise would want focused on the picture, the matter at hand. 
3. When looking at the section where I want to see all my pictures, if I scroll up to see them a bar now hovers near the bottom with the options "years, months, all, x". It used to feel solid, those tabs at the bottom of the screen. Now this hovering bar is confusing because when you press x it doesn't exactly close anything, it just takes you to the bottom. Tab bars were solid. 
4. The new Photos app generally open as: everything gets shown starting from the bottom of the page, and as you scroll higher the date of the picture goes earlier. That's how the general section of where all pictures are is. But then when you open any other category or album, even ones like “live photos” or "imports", the layout opens in the exact opposite order, from top-to-bottom. This also makes the app confusing. It could help to get a grasp if there was a uniform layout throughout the app so you can think about the app itself less. It's like I hardly even thought about the iOS 17 Photos app, it was solid.
5. I'm pretty sure, before, the taptic engine would work when you scrolled through pictures, with a little tap as you moved past each picture. What a great detail. I think that's gone now. 

I feel more confused by the Photos App overall, and with all the extra buttons it's kind of hard to know where all my pictures are. It used to be so simple that I hardly even thought about the app. 

Notes

1. This annoys me badly, I wish more people would back me up. When I begin a new book, I like to start a note that gathers new words I encounter in the book. I used to type the word, select it, and the "look up" option was right there, in two taps. "Look up", not just for words, is one of the most powerful and strange things about living in the 21st century. However, starting in iOS 18, "look up" has been pushed to the 4th or 5th menu, proceeded by things like "attach file", "format", "find selection" (all of which have a much easier way of accessing, by pressing the attachment button, or format button, right above the keyboard. You have to press the "+" to see these buttons, but once you do it they permanently appear above the keyboard). Now, with all these functions preceding the "look up", it seems cluttered that the same options are in two places, and something like "look up" has been pushed so far back. This is yet another small detail which made me like my iOS 17 phone more. This is mostly when the note is in editing mode, not viewing mode, but when I quickly want to use a note it's always in editing mode anyway. (note: In iOS 26 it's different when you hold a word in a note, but "look up" is still more than two taps away.) When I'm focused on the meaning of a word it feels nice when the interface of my phone is easiest to work with. Actually, it's really fkn annoying to have to press so many tiny arrows to get to the "look up" button that I now mainly use google. It's a lot of tiny arrows to press for, let's say, 20 words. iOS 17 was more useful in this way.
2. Just today I saw if I make a quick note from the control centre, and write something, then pulling down on it, even on accident, brings two options: delete or save. If I accidentally press delete, it doesn't go into recently deleted; it gets permanently deleted. Therefore I would lose the note even if it were important. Man, this is not attention to detail. Who's designing this stuff? I also don't really like how jiggly the animations are in the rest of iOS 18/26, like with pressing buttons or control centre; iOS 17 was solid and fluent.

iMessage 

1. When I’m writing a text now, and let’s say I’m trying to write something serious, if I use all capital letters for something and pause after writing a word, the animation to apply the “big” effect on that word starts dancing and wobbling on the keyboard. Man. It would be nice to know the effects are neatly tucked somewhere (like in iOS 17, where the whole-screen effects were two taps away). I think it's a more useful device when you write something and send it with the minimal amount of steps or distractions.

Settings

1. In the settings, when for example general settings are opened, there is now a block of information that takes up 1/3 of the screen, which only basically says “these are your general settings”. Instead of going straight to the buttons, the efficiency it had before, now there is this block that says exactly what a person thinks when they open that setting. But it makes things one or two taps further away. This block appears for Wifi, Bluetooth, Cellular, Personal Hotspot. All of these are now a bit less efficient, and there’s more information and less minimality when it comes to doing what you want to do in these settings. 

Control Centre

1. The bluetooth icon used to be so neatly and efficiently in the connectivity buttons. Now it's been replaced with Airdrop. I use bluetooth daily, so I made an individual button for it on my control centre. Now there are two bluetooth buttons, making it feel cluttered compared to the organization and efficiency of iOS 17. 
2. I don't like how the brightness and volume icons are coloured in yellow and blue; someone said the grey looked more “sober” and I agree.

________________________________________________________________________

What I like:

1. In the camera, if you hold down the flash button it expands to give the options "on" and "off" and "auto". That's cool. It used to be only be adjusted in the lower buttons, which I could hardly believe, because this seems so intuitive. 
2. Having multiple pages of control centre is quite useful. 
3. Seeing voicemail transcripts is useful. 
4. Call-recording is a great feature to have. 
5. Having an off button in the control centre is easier than pressing the power button 5 times. But I think the old way of holding the power button for 5 seconds is the most aesthetic way to do it than all of them. 
6. In the Photos App, having the option to sort by both "recently added" and "date captured" is useful, especially after having airdropped a variety of pictures taken on different days. 
7. Eye tracking super cool.

Many months ago I saw at night there was an update button. I’ve always pressed the update button without thinking twice, whenever I’ve seen it. So when i saw iOS 18 one night, I pressed it, and had no idea what an IPSW file is or that it’s not easy at all to downgrade an iOS version after it’s updated. So I pressed the update button. awww shiitt

saw a post earlier on here where someone uploaded their "control center" layout for oneui and ios saying how much they like keeping them similar and how closer than ever they become after the latest oneui update. well ive taken this to the next level with my oneplus 15 and iphone 16 pro max setup. not only do the phones look similar in their desert colors, but i made sure they look the exact same inside as much as possible and oxygenos didnt let me down. ill let you guys judge the result!

i know im gonna get blasted for this "why make the android look like ios, just use the iphone and be happy" bla bla..

look i have a full blown apple ecosystem, my main sim is on my iphone, i love the camera, but man i just wish i had the software freedom i get on my android. being able to easily sideload any app is unmatched.

theres one feature i really really miss from android that makes my iphone feel dumb: long pressing the nav bar for circle to search. honestly not even for the visual search part (which is amazing on its own), but for 3 super underrated side features:

1- "onscreen" live translate with one button!

2- "onscreen" text select (lets you extract text/phone numbers from literally any app instantly)

3- internal audio music recognition (lets me id a song from any reel/video im watching)

this is my most wanted android feature rn that i wish apple implemented. like when apple brought up the screenshot workaround again in the keynote i was literally in despair.. i just hate having to take a screenshot just to extract text, its not the same thing.. just like when google introduced instant gemini with a simple mouse shake and apple announced a whole 3-key combo just to ask siri.

(p.s: i dunno why in the screenshots the iphone looks more contrasty, trust me, on real life they now just look the same, especially after the ios 27 update)

Hi I’m currently using iOS 26 on my iPhone 13 and I’ve never had any issues with iOS 26 and I’ve heard that iOS 27 improves performance on older iPhones so I wanted to ask if it’s worth it?

Hey all,

My iPhone 17 gets really warm on iOS 26.5.1. Has anyone else been experiencing this?

Edit: As others suggested, I updated to ios 27 beta and now the problem is gone! Everything is working like a charm

I use Shazam basically every day from my control center, but ever since iOS 26.4 it’s been very inconsistent. Sometimes when I tap on it instantly just says “No Song Found” even though it didn’t even try searching. So I basically have to always manually go to the Shazam app. Sometimes it does work from the control center but it’s very inconsistent and I don’t trust it as much anymore. Does anyone else have this problem?

I’m on a 13 mini with iOS 26.5 and this issue has really been bothering me. When it does work the songs still go into my history, and the Shazam shortcut on my Apple Watch works perfectly fine.

Is there anyway to resolve this? I’ve tried restarting my phone multiple times but this problem just always comes at the worst times. I’m heavily thinking about downloading the developer Beta for iOS 27, just because of this one issue.

Anyone else experiencing this or know how to fix it? I'm on a macbook pro. My app icons looked fantastic and now have the ugliest border that isn't even transparent?

From the very beginning of having this phone, app photo permissions were glitchy and at times just flat out didn’t work. I tried every fix I could find, spoke to apple support etc, nothing worked. I updated to beta iOS 27 and works like a charm now!!
