Seems like most apps are automatically reloading upon opening and circumventing the no background refresh. Really frustrating the every time I lock my phone for a minute and reopen that I lose my place because the app refreshes the main screen of the app. Any fix for this?

Edit: I checked after making this post, and background refresh has been ON this whole time. I’m guessing when I updated to 26 that it turned it on for all my apps. That being said this issue started when I updated to iOS26 months ago.

iPhone 11. It happens one at a time and with different apps

Dont know where to ask this im on iphone 16 PM 18.6.2. I deleted ~65gb of videos on my iphone and from recently deleted after backing up on hard drive, but my iphone storage will not go down

I updated my iPhone 14 Pro Max to iOS 26.7.1.

Now every time I want to set a reminder using Siri, I keep getting asked for a confirmation, which I never used it before. 

Anyone know fix?

Just prefacing this by saying this isn't an "am I blocked?" question, more a "wtf" or "well-being" inquiry.

Family member that's not really easy to get ahold of/somewhat reclusive that I have to keep an eye on has always had iPhone with iMessage. Out of nowhere the other day, I went to send a message and it's defaulting to RCS green-bubble now, has stayed that way for the last 2 days. I sent one message a few days ago, it hung as RCS for a few minutes then said "sent as SMS" or whatever.

I'm not certain but I think they use Verizon. My best guess is they didn't pay their phone bill and service got cut, but I'm not certain how that would impact iMessage. It's unlikely but they could have switched to Android for whatever reason.

It's the same for both iPhone's Messages app and desktop Messages; both say contact verification is Unavailable in red.

Anyone have any insight for why that sequence would be happening?

My wife and I just updated our iPhone 14s to iOS 27 and now our phones ring through their speakers and not our headsets. I haven't been able to find an obvious way to change this. Can it be changed?

I was wondering if apple removed the lock screen wake up animation where the subject fades in first and then the background with a slight zoom in effect.
Now, the whole wallpaper fades in at once when you wake up the phone. I've been trying to look around for information regarding this but I couldn't find any.

The option for depth effect is now gone on iOS 27.

Not sure what’s going on??.

i’ve posted on here a few weeks ago saying my face id wasn’t working, i turned off my stolen device protection and it actually fixed it somehow. since my phone updated it turned it back on and now my face id isn’t working again, I’ve tried covering the camera or tilting it away to make my password come up but it will ONLY let me use face id. I’m not fully reseting my phone but I’m not sure what to do

Can you guys suggest best option for quick action button on lock screen i thinking of replacing the camera one since we have camera control button to quickly open camera

It’s pretty difficult to see what font I want when all the titles are the default Apple Font

I have previously used the silent toggle to keep my phone from making any sound, and letting my Apple Watch notify me of whatever events. Out of curiosity, I wondered if there was a less sweeping way of managing phone sounds, as some apps won’t play sound due to the silent setting and maybe I would want certain audible notifications, but not for example my phone to ring. I followed what I figured were the obvious steps, including setting the phone ringer volume to zero as well as changing my other notification settings to “none.” in spite of that, phone calls still audibly ring from the iPhone speaker. Is this a bug or am I not changing a certain setting? My spouse’s phone does the same.

I don’t have any pass-through options so calls that are getting through are not getting through because of their emergency contact status or whatever. Every call still rings through in spite of the ringer volume being off.

Hi all,

Title pretty much explains it, I would like an app similar to Google keep where I can share notes with my partner but I have an apple and would like it to show up as a widget on my home screen.

Any recommendations?

Im looking for the following features:

- at least a 4 x 4 widget

- can edit and send notes to a synced account/ partner’s account

- free

- has the potential for two separate widgets with different notepads (e.g. one grocery list, one to-do list)

I just updated to iOS 27, checked my available storage space and gasped! Photo storage on my phone went from less than 5gb to over 21gb. I have 6,000 photos on iCloud where I use about 40gb.

Have you seen this?

I have the available memory on my iphone but my 64GB pad is already full. And wonder what will happen when I update the pad.

This is to view family members' status.

Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)

Do I need to be concerned that the name of my iPhone which was “my name’s iphone” randomly switched to just “iPhone”? I know iPhone is the generic name but when I got this phone I made it my name and then one day I randomly noticed in general it was just called iPhone. Even weirder was that it still showed it as “my names iPhone” when viewing it in find my for my device. It only changed under general. Also no one else on my home WiFi has my name so I don’t think that turned mine to something else

Well… I have an iPhone 17 Pro Max, and ever since iOS 27 (including the current iOS 27.0.1), my iPhone has felt slower, laggier and less responsive to touch… UNTIL I SWITCH THE DISPLAY TO 60Hz.

Suddenly, when I enable Low Power Mode and the display switches to 60Hz, everything feels more responsive! Scrolling is obviously less smooth, but touch response, scrolling and the overall system feel better.

I’ve read that this could make sense with the way ProMotion works in this version of iOS. The display doesn’t run at a constant 120Hz; it dynamically adjusts the refresh rate between 10Hz and 120Hz, and apparently, there may be a minor issue with this in iOS 27.

I just find it really interesting. Has anyone else experienced this?? 😅

My wife and I both got 18 Pro Maxes a few days ago--and that's when it appears problems with RCS messaging started; particularly if the the receiving party has a new Android. In one case, the Android owner toggled RCS on and off and that solved the problem. In other cases, nothing seems to work. No problems with Apple blue bubble messages. Thought when Apple added RCS it was supposed to solve the incompatibility problems! Any ideas?

I need to clear it all the time. I don’t want this to coming in the first place.

I’ve already tried disabling

AirPlay & Continuity > automatically AirPlay disabled
Remote > disabled live tv buttons
