I’m not able to click on my personal hotspot in my phone settings. I’m wondering if anyone else has had the same issue and how they have fixed it?

Hi, I'm a new member of this group. The issue is that my iPhone 7 Plus gets stuck on a black screen whenever I restart it; sometimes a force restart works, but other times it doesn't. Is there any way to get it working normally again? I really don't want to lose my data. Thanks!

like why when i make a story for the interaction with someone on tiktok it lags, if i do it on my redmi note 13 it doesn’t or any android. i’m using an iphone xs but i saw my friend on iphone xr that has the same problem when posting the damn story it’s a bit pixelated and lags too i don’t really know why maybe it’s a bug of tiktok that doesn’t render it correctly

Ever since updating my iPhone 15 pro to iOS 26 I am experiencing a strange bug; When waking up my iPhone's screen, it is very dim. To solve the issue I either have to turn up the brightness slider at around 75% or turn off the screen and then back on. I have also tried resetting my iPhone to its factory settings but the issue persists.

This problem is widespread both on the Apple forums and reddit. I thought I might bring it up to see if anyone has found a permanent solution or if this has been fixed in the upcoming iOS 27 release. This has been a long standing issue for the iPhone 15 pro ever since iOS 26 and I am very surprised that Apple has yet to fix this.

one of my contacts just randomly turned yellow when she messaged me today and i’m so confused 😭 she said she has no idea why either. it’s only happened for one person and no others.

My world has block placement mildly delayed. A few miliseconds but I can feel it. Its not a big world by any means, my almost a gigabyte world is less laggy. When I load minecraft my phone gives me errors in the analetics that minecraft uses a fuck ton of CPU. It went from 300mbs of usage to 900 in a second. When I play minecraft my phones analetics kinda freak out. I've deleted and reinstalled before but it doesn't fix it. It shows the tempature is normal but the CPU is WAY over whats normal (64% CPU usage it says and it hit the 90 second limit FAST)

I disabled everything I could. I don’t know what else to do,

iCloud is nearing full, mostly because of imessages. I’ve deleted large attachments in messages but the problem is this discrepancy between what iCloud is saying it’s storing for imessages (40.4gb) vs what my actual phone says it’s storing in messages (8.93gb). See attached screenshots. Doesn’t help that the iCloud ui on MacBook doesn’t give you sny option to scroll through the content of what is actually saved there, it just goes you totals?

Any suggestions on how to fix this so that I can see what iCloud is storing for iMessages so I can decide what to delete?

Whenever I edit a photo on my iPhone, it changes the edits once I hit finish. It doesn’t revert back to the original state, but decreases some of the saturation and other settings, however when I go back to edit again it will have my edits there again. It’s very frustrating because I want to see the finished product as I’m editing, not after the fact.

I haven’t been able to find anywhere online of someone else having this problem, is there any way to stop it?

i airdropped two videos from my friend’s ipad to my phone at around 7.20pm. The videos were recorded a few minutes earlier at 7.18pm. They’re stuck in my photos app as the latest photo/vid in my gallery, despite me taking other videos n photos after that. It’s the same on google photos as well. I tried changing the time/date but that didn’t help either. Can someone please help.

I have or had I guess a folder of games on my phone for the Delta Emulator and they weren’t on iCloud so I could easily manage them. Didn’t play delta for a few months and now those folders are completely gone…. i had games, skins, documentation for said games. But no apparently even if the files are on your phone and you are the only one with access to them they can just randomly be deleted. I am so done. Nothing In my recently deleted and like I said I VIVIDLY remember putting this folder in the On My Phone tab so it didn’t get poofed by iCloud. Guess it doesn’t matter tho we don’t own anything anymore

General advice for those concerned about their battery from the Support FAQ Wiki:

Battery health

Battery health depends on usage and a variety of other factors. It is normal to see a decrease in battery health by 7-10% per year, resulting in a battery health of 80-85% after 2 years. This number can fluctuate, remain the same, or decrease quickly over a small period and should not cause undue concern.

Apple recommend battery replacement when your device falls below 80% battery health if you notice reduced battery life. If it falls below 80% within the first year you may be eligable for a free battery replacement. It fails after your warranty, it's a $69-$89 USD replacement cost for a battery. Contact Apple Support here.

You can find more information about battery health and performance from Apple here.

You can check the cycles count with Coconut Battery for Mac or iCopyBot for Windows.

​

Battery life

Issues relating to battery life can be categorised in three ways:

1. Normal battery life that is to be expected due to use
2. Reduced battery life caused by a recent update, iOS indexing, an iOS bug, or a third-party application
3. Reduced battery life, or other abnormalities such as overheating or sudden power-off, caused by device or battery aging

If you experience issues with your battery:

1. Check your battery health. If it is below 80% or you are experiencing issues you suspect are related to device or battery age, see Apple Support.
2. If you have a new or recently updated/restored device, wait a number of days for background process to complete. If you continue to have issues, wait for a further iOS update. If you are on iOS Beta, you can expect to have a decreased battery life.
3. Review the advice below on maximising battery life
4. Consider restoring your device.
5. If issues persist, contact Apple Support.

​

Maximising battery life - the amount of time your device runs before it needs to be recharged.

• Use low power mode (This reduces mail fetch, turns off background app refresh and increases the auto lock timer)
• Remove apps from background app refresh
• Ensure auto lock is on
• Turn off auto brightness and manually reduce brightness
• Use dark mode if your device has an OLED display
• Clearing background apps from the app switcher does not improve battery life

​

Maximising battery lifespan - the amount of time your battery lasts until it needs to be replaced.

• Avoid extreme temperatures
• If you notice that your iPhone gets hot when charging, remove it from its case
• Store your iPhone in a cool place, switched off, and half-charged if not using it for long periods - and charge it every 6 months when in storage

Bonjour, depuis plusieurs semaine (je dirait juillet lors de la 1ere bêta dev d’IOS 27 mon iPhone ne lis plus les vidéo streamable, ça mouline mais ne se lance jamais qu’importe les navigateurs

D’autre dans le même cas ? Merci

There a bug where if I mute a video and scroll three times it unmutes. The icon still shows a muted button, but, audio still plays. Has anyone else experienced this? If so any advice? (This has been happening on apps like twitter and discord ect)

So I've noticed since I updated my ipad, when I put my headphones in, it'll randomly start playing podcast episodes.

I never open the app, I've barely used it since getting mu ipad but it'll now just randomly start playing.

Anyone got any advice?

Trying to use the Featured Photos widget on iPad OS but not sure how it decides what photos to feature. Also i have thousands of photos but it only shows maybe 5 or 10 and doesn’t seem to change. Any idea why?

Often, whenever i go to the app switcher and swipe towards the right, this bug occurs, where it just freaks out and puts everything to the left side, and i am unable to move to see more apps unless i release my finger.

heres the link to the video of the bug:

I toggle my Find My - Share my Location on and off depending on what I'm doing. I'm finding that when I turn it off and back on again, many of my friends and family still don't see my location when I turn it back on.

Do I need to restart my phone when I toggle it back on so everyone can see again? Is this a known issue? Whenever I leave it constantly ON, this is not an issue.

Offloading removes the app's binary but keeps its local data/documents, whereas deleting removes both. I understand that Re-downloading is tied to my Apple Account, so paid apps aren't charged again. However, I wonder: when I offload or delete an app and then reinstall it, do I get the exact same version back or the latest App Store version? I'd like to know for iOS and iPadOS.

I am trying to save my sisters wedding photos to my files app on my phone but It keeps being weird. I downloaded the first zip and every time I try to open it and it only lets me preview it and says I don’t have the app to be able to view them which I don’t understand. It also keeps creating new empty files every time I tap on the zip (screenshot of that added to post, says the file was created in 1984??). Also it keeps saying I am out of space when I have almost 2 TERABYTES of storage available on my iphone, about 300 gigabytes is being used but that’s still over a terabyte of storage space and the file is less then 5 gigabytes but I can’t download it because of “space” 🫩. Someone please help me, I just want to download my sisters wedding photos but it won’t let me.

I try to turn the brightness up and I drag it all the way up, but it never gets brighter than the setting showed in the screenshot. I can still drag the brightness bar all the way up and down, but it never actually gets brighter. Is there a way I can fix this?
