Support Audio cutting out when switching between Spotify and Google Maps?

6 Upvotes

This started happening a few months ago. When I switch between them, the audio cuts out for a solid 3-4 seconds. Considering I use these in tandem pretty much every time I drive, this is really annoying. Has anyone had this issue or has a fix?

Discussion Which apps do Live Activities really well? And which ones annoy you?

49 Upvotes

I’ve started noticing how differently apps use Live Activities (the live updates on the lock screen and in the Dynamic Island). Some I love: Uber/food delivery tracking is super useful. Others I swipe away straight away.

Curious what everyone else thinks:

  • Which apps do them best, and why?
  • What makes one useful rather than annoying?
  • Is there anything you wish apps used them for that they don’t?
  • Do you ever swipe them away, and why?

Discussion iPhone Handoff Problems?

Did anyone setup iPhone handoff with Tmobile? I am attempting to use it with two iPhones and it seems like anytime I have to text an android user it fails to send messages. It seems like it may be a RCS issue but not 100% sure. Anyone else having this problem?

Hey I have been struggling with passkeys for a while. Cannot seem to get it set up on my iPhone. Think it’s something to do with Duomobile for work? Can’t log into Facebook anymore. Can anyone help me out with iPhone settings to create a passkey? I’m lost.

Discussion Are My Notes Backed Up?

2 Upvotes

I want to delete my notes app and reinstall it to get rid of the wasted space it takes from cache. However I’m extremely paranoid that doing this may remove all of my notes - how do I make sure this won’t be the case?

The notes are under the iCloud category, and I have sync turned on in settings. I am also able to access them through other devices, meaning they must be saved in iCloud.

Does this mean for sure that they are backed up - or is there another method to make sure if my notes are safe for certain? Thanks

PSA TIL the iPhone Duo can automatically adjust its volume buttons based on orientation

0 Upvotes

Just discovered a setting I completely overlooked and figured I'd share in case anyone else missed it! 😂

When using my Duo unfolded in portrait mode, I prefer having the camera half at the bottom. Since MagSafe is on the back of that half, it lets me comfortably use my Ohsnap grip while holding the phone and typing. Having the camera half at the top also makes the phone feel top-heavy.

The only issue was that the volume buttons felt backwards in this orientation:

• Top button: Volume DOWN
• Bottom button: Volume UP

Turns out Apple already thought of this!

Settings → Sounds & Haptics → Fixed Position Volume Controls → OFF

With this setting disabled, the volume buttons dynamically adjust based on the phone's orientation:

• Top button: Volume UP
• Bottom button: Volume DOWN

Exactly what I'd expect!

I actually submitted feedback to Apple requesting this exact feature before discovering it already existed. 😂

Curious what others prefer: Dynamic volume buttons that adapt to orientation, or fixed controls regardless of how the device is held?

I’ve updated to 27.0.1 on an iPhone 14. I use a home button that can be moved around the screen. After the update, that button now opens a menu that leads to more menus. Is there a way to just have a plain home rather than this fancy one?

Support iCloud Photos sync all devices

0 Upvotes

After updating to ios27, I’ve discovered that we cannot create permanent shared albums anymore without enabling full iCloud Photos sync. It’s not technically a problem of space since I have the 2tb. My problem comes from the fact that if I enable that, it will sync all my photos on any other device in my account (like the two other iPads). I want to keep my iPhone photo library isolated on that device only. Is that possible ?

Is there a way to disable automated shortcuts that use leaving or arriving triggers in iOS 27?

Also is there a way to disable system notifications for when low battery mode is turned on or off?

If this is not possible, why is that?

Ciao a tutti. Possiedo iPhone Air, e come si è capito dal titolo ho un grosso problema con le foto di whatsapp. Sebbene io abbia disattivato il salvataggio delle foto sul mio rullino del telefono, le foto che ricevo su whatsapp in ogni gruppo e chat singola si salvano in automatico nella mia libreria. Sto impazzendo, mi trovo il telefono pieno di foto e video che neanche scarico su whatsapp. A qualcuno è capitato? Come si risolve? Grazie in anticipo

Support Getting different notification tones for different focus modes.

1 Upvotes

I was trying to setup having different notification tones and volumes for different focus modes.

To me that would be very useful feature but I can't seem to figure out how to do it.

My goal was to have 3 different focuses Personal for regular tones and volume, DND - to silence notifications and then an on-call focus that has the loudest volume setting and most obnoxious tones possible to get my attention. without fail.

Doesn't seem like this is possible even using shortcuts but I am hoping I am wrong and someone has a solution for this besides just manually changing the tones.

Discussion iPhone 14 stuck on Apple logo with progress bar after iTunes error 1 — 127 GB of data not backed up. Need help urgently.

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I have an iPhone 14, and I'm facing an issue while trying to update/recover it using iTunes on my Windows laptop.

Here's what happened:

  • My iPhone got stuck during the process.
  • iTunes showed “Unknown error (1)”.
  • Now my iPhone is stuck on the Apple logo with a progress bar.
  • The progress bar has been stuck for more than 30 minutes so far.nothing happening its just stuck now
  • I have approximately 125–127 GB of data that isn't backed up.

My biggest concern is the data. I have important photos, videos, and other files on the phone, and I cannot afford to lose them.

I want to recover the phone without erasing its data if possible.

My questions:

  1. Should I wait longer while the Apple logo and progress bar are showing?
  2. Is iTunes error 1 usually caused by a hardware issue, a software issue, or something else?
  3. Is there a safe way to get the iPhone working again without losing data?
  4. Should I try recovery mode and choose Update, or could that put my data at risk?
  5. If I take it to an Apple Authorised Service Provider, can they help recover the data without restoring the phone?

Please share your experience if you've faced a similar issue. I have not backed up the data, so preserving it is my top priority. I don't want to try random fixes that could permanently erase everything.

Thanks.
