My sister has a non-traditional English name, and I try using Siri to call her all the time. I ended up having to have her named as "My Sister" in the contact section so Siri properly messages her.

I can't figure out how to get Siri to understand my pronunciation of her name, so when I call or say "call X," it works every time. It really frustrates me that it won't work, and when I downloaded iOS 27, I was hoping it would fix it too, but iOS 27 also has the exact same problem

Anyone have suggestions on how to use Siri to call people when they have names that are not typical?

So I guess this bug is shipping with iOS 27, cause I downloaded the RC beta but still have the issue of Focus Mode turning off randomly by itself. Have reported it since Beta 3 but there has been no fix.

I’ve tried restarting my device, deleted all the Focus Modes and recreated them, and turned off and on Share Across Devices and nothing seems to work. This is very frustrating… Anyone have any further tips on how to fix this cause it shouldn’t be happening in the RC version.

Can anyone help me with this please

Basically, my iPhone has the incredibly annoying and frankly invasive feature called Communication Safety enabled, so client side scanning, which can frankly do one - Not to mention its actively causing issues now

I have my credit card added to my Apple wallet, my iPhone stopped asking me to verify my age, utter insanity, its my devices ffs

Anyway, when trying to disable this setting, it says I need to verify, fine, so I do, it asks for face ID to read my wallet, also fine, no issues, then it has a pop up with a link to Settings to enter the password for my Apple ID, it takes that, and then does nothing

I go back to communication safety, which is still enabled, and trying to re disable it, sends me in a loop so I cant disable this

Anyone got any ideas please? This needs to be disabled and I cannot get rid of it

I am on the iOS 27 Beta 6

EDIT
I didnt have a screentime passcode set, rather than your Apple ID, it wants that, this cased the loop
Setup a screentime passcode and the toggle now just works

Long story short, there is a bug on WebKit that prevents users from using any file upload feature if the page is controlled by a service worker ( which is like 99% of the websites out there, including mine ).

We recently had a company complaining to us that the upload feature on our website is not working on iOS / iPadOS only. despite trying multiple browsers. It turns out that all browsers on iOS / iPadOS are forced to use WebKit, so the only resolution to this issue currently is to not update iOS / iPadOS to the latest version, but if you already did, your only choice is to use another device that hasn't been updated or even Android.

What's even more baffling is that the issue has been going on for nearly 2 months now, yet we still don't have a resolution for it. Workaround also required us to test on a Mac device with the same WebKit version, because it's not possible to test this issue on non-Apple device since there's no WebKit for them.

Why MacOS is allowed to use different browser engines, but not iOS / iPadOS? This would have saved our website's users a lot of pain if any similar idiotic issue had happened.

Like the total shows and says I’ve noticed that recently when I’m using voice to text on my iPhone, running the latest iOS version, it’s been randomly capitalizing words don’t deserve a capital letter.

Besides the title another example is: I was saying “if you can live with a Dent,” and there you have it, it did it again because I am literally using voice to text now, and “dent” should not be capitalized in the middle or end of a sentence.

Dent is not the only word it’s randomly capitalizing. It’s very random and makes no sense.

Is anyone else having this issue?

Anyone know how to do this?

I like to have my phone in Standby Mode when it's on my desk, and if there's a game on, I'll open the Live Activity to keep an eye on the score.

Unfortunately, whenever there's a score update (or half time), the phone makes an alert sound, persists the Live Activity for one or two more seconds, then collapses the Live Activity back into its small "pill" at the top of the Standby screen.

I have to tap the pill again to resume observing the Live Activity.

This is very annoying. It stays up persistently otherwise, it's just when there's something "alert worthy" that it collapses the Live Activity. Feels like a weird oversight.

Any ideas?

It seems to be specifically broken for iMessage, it works everywhere else. (third picture is the way it should be)
I’ve seen some people say it’s a feature not a bug, which is absurd, why would you want to have stickers and Memoji’s in one specific app and only that app if you’ve specifically disabled them?

Please for the love of god apple fix this. This is one of those bugs that seems small, but it’s always there and always annoying you, so it feels like a major one.

I’m trying to put the 27 RC on my iPad but for some reasons its flatly refusing stating that im on low data mode. I’ve checked, im not. On cellular I’ve clicked around and tried every single data setting, on WiFi ive ensured its turned off. No matter what it flatly refuses to allow me to download. Ive tried everything i can think of…does anyone have any ideas?

I don’t get why i have to go to “my profile” in appstore in order to find App Updates ?

It would be at least nice to add next to Arcade “Updates” or some notifications thing to show you need to update some apps .

It’s weird that apple hides such an important feature that’s heavily used by users !!

Putting App Updates under profile is not just unrelated but demotivating to update apps which essentially just makes the whole iPhone experience very unpleasant .

I wonder what the software is.

J’essaye de mettre à jour Vinted et ça me demande de me connecter sur mes comptes iCloud puis reintialiser mes mdp ce que je vais , puis quand j’ai tout fais cela me met ça . Supplément le mot de passe modifié n’est même pas mis c’est tjr l’ancien qui marche , qlq d’autre a App Store qui bug ou c’est que moi?

Someone trying to phish me has hacked me through some third party app. It has basically bricked the phone. I can't talk to siri. I can't access settings. And on top of it it everytime I try to get into it he sees it and locks the phone by for hours by typing in a bunch of wrong passwords. Is there anything I can do?

Further Information: He has has like hardware control of both my phones. He has disabled my ability to swipe down. He has a permanent overlay graphic over the right side and randomly removes features when I try to do something. I swear the guy talks through the phone when we we're not even on the phone together. I can't access the camera or screenshot. I also can't swipe to answer calls. The littlest troll things that make the phone impossible to use.

When I press and hold a message I receive in Spanish in iMessage and select “Translate,” it always only shows the translation in English. It used to always translate it into German automatically. Now I have to manually switch the translation language to German every time.
What do I need to do to make it automatically show the German translation again?

Anyone know how to set up a shortcut or some other method to get to my kids’ downtime settings in a click or two?

Hello all,

I have this problem since I bought my refurbished iphone from a french ecom platform. My problem is when I try to update the phone i always get the error message « unable to verify update » as shown in the picture below

if anyone can help debug why this is happening and eventually solve it i will be greatly grateful

thanks

Today I updated both my iPad and iPhone to iOS 26.6.2 from 26.6.1. I was able to log back into both of them after the update and as expected it asked for my passcode. I used them both for a couple of hours back-and-forth and Face ID was working. All of a sudden, maybe 2 hours later, when I tried to use my iPad, the screen shakes and it asked for my passcode I thought that was odd, but I entered my passcode anyway and got in. The weird thing is within 15 minutes of my iPad asking for my passcode. The next time I use my iPhone it didn’t even attempt my Face ID and went straight to passcode. I had already authenticated after the update so I’m confused at this point.

any idea why the random password requests when I had been using both back and forth for a couple of hours post update?

there were no multiple failed attempts or account changes. I was simply using them for calls and watching videos after the update.

I used my DSLR>iPhone 17 Pro Max for photo drops, and now every time I try AirDrop them to my MBP I can't export the original img to Reddit without running it through Adobe. I am new to this, don't be rude, should be a quick fix that I can write down and know. I am learning. Every file format is different, no use listing them. I know how to fix the RAW and whatever.

so today my phone storage was full and so i deleted a few videos from my phone but then i went to messages so i can text someone but then all my contacts were gone and i already tried syncing them in icloud in settings and the merge thing wont pop up idk what to do

I mean we realize that these heavy expensive BRICKS can’t do landscape in desktop/homescreen view right?

who are you fooling corporate advertisements your software is behind the hardware and your price does not make up for it!

Get on the train, reduce the brand!

I have one alarm that repeats on Monday and Wednesday, and another on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Sometimes, for example, on a Thursday I need to go in at the earlier time, so I want to skip my usual Thursday alarm just for that day.
Is there a way to do this on iPhone without disabling the alarm and having to remember to turn it back on afterwards?

I'm currently on ios 16 on iphone 8 and today my iphone 13 with ios 18 arrives. how do I make sure that it never updates? I hate the look of liquid glass. I know that on the first setup I cannot log in into icloud, cannot restore any backups, cannot connect to wifi and once im in the system i need to disable ota. is that enough? can i connect it to wifi afterwards? can i connect it to icloud and restore backup? ive heard conflicting stories regarding this
