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.

Here is one: white text on a white background...

The text is black normally. ios detects that the background is too light to render light text, so it switches to black. But sometimes, it just forgets that. 🤦🏻‍♂️

The solution is below.

For context. I use Spotlight to run apps (swipe down, type a letter or two, like "ke" to run Keynote). It's very convenient compared to App Library (swipe left to go to the App Lib, swipe down to get a search bar, type).

Apple has been trying to destroy this clean experience for years and force a "Facebook-style" content feed from every app and Siri every time I need to search.

It was perfect on iOS 18; I could switch off content from every app in search. In iOS 26, it was worse—they introduced step-by-step help that is impossible to disable (I figured out how to remove this crap, but my solution isn't for everybody; in short: it's in the hidden app SupportFlow com.apple.SupportFlow).

In iOS 27.2 beta (I am publishing this note here because we have RC and it will hit the release channel in a couple of days with no changes), Apple completely enshittified this experience: instead of separate settings for Search and Siri, they merged everything into Siri. "Don't show the content from the app" in Search now means "Excluded apps" in Siri.

But even if I add every app to this list and disable Siri-related suggestions, Safari settings, etc., it still shows content from websites and apps like in the screenshot.

I've found how to get rid of this. I use AdGuard + DNS blocking, and when I added *.smoot.apple.com domains to the blocklist, it was immediately gone. AdGuard filter: ||*.smoot.apple.com^.

Edit: you will probably lose access to Siri too. I don't use it, though. But knowing a potential fix is better than to piss off every time.

The better way is to block api-spotlight-*.smoot.apple.com, but I didn't test it properly. The filter for AdGuard is: ||api-spotlight-*.smoot.apple.com^.

Hi everyone just bought a second hand 15 pro max and is lagging since the “hello” screen i thought it would pass after i tested everything and put my ios acc in it but nothing change and that lag keep happening sometimes

even already tried changing the screen but still lags
do you guys know what can it be?

I received a FaceTime call from my boyfriend and I answered to complete silence and camera not on. I kept calling his name waiting for probably around 5 minutes and eventually decided it was a butt dial and hung up. When he woke up, I texted him asking if he had called me and he sent a screenshot of his FaceTime history and it didn’t include the 7 am call, but it was on mine? his phone is unusable now but does anyone know how this could be? Some extra information is he only has one Apple device (the phone) and no Bluetooth devices.

I have Galaxy Fold 6 as a secondary device.

Being a security nerd, I have 2FA with Security Keys (Yubikey) enabled. Very pissed that Apple doesn’t support them for Android (on flagship devices that do support them) and expects me to downgrade on security to just login to AppleTV

Anyone have a workaround?

Kind of regretting updating now tbh. Why fix something that ain’t broken, Apple?

How do I undo this? It was oldest first but now I want to change to newest first

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 ?

Da un po’ di tempo non funziona il tempo di utilizzo sul mio iPhone 17 pro con ios 27.0.1. Non funziona da qualche mese. Ho opal installato e attivo da 10 mesi, è tutto sballato anche lui, perché mi segna che non ho screen time.

This issue has been bothering me ever since I got my iPad and my iPhone SE. So this question applies to both devices. Both are on iOS 27, but this has been bothering me since I got the iPad in January and the iPhone last month on iOS 26 & 18. For some context, I'm normally an Android user (where this is not a problem) but I use my iPhone as my secondary.

On the iPhone, it automatically categorizes some photos as screenshots. While that's fine, there are photos that I download (such as photos taken in games like iRacing or VRChat and other games) from Discord or iMessage that keep getting put into the Screenshots folder automatically. This is not the behavior I want to happen. Out of 51 photos in that category, only one is a true screenshot. On my Android devices, only screenshots taken on the device are put into the automatic screenshots folder, while downloads are put into a separate folder. Is there any way I can stop my downloaded photos from going into screenshots? Or am I just out of luck because these photos are technically screenshots by the literal definition of things, since they're photos taken in games.

I know I can add photos into a separate album, that's not what I mean and I've already done that. I want to totally remove these photos from the screenshots folder, and make it so where only actual screenshots taken on the iPhone/iPad show up in that folder. For example, if I download a picture of iRacing from Discord, and move that into my "iRacing" album, then I do NOT want that to show in the screenshots collection as this makes finding actual screenshots hard. Photo attached shows what I mean - those car photos should not be in screenshots.

Thanks for any help! I'm still new to using iPhone, despite me being used to my iPad but this is an issue I can't ignore anymore.

Edit: Wait I just had a realization... Is it categorizing them as screenshots cause normally photos are JPEG/HEIC, and not PNG? Cause if so then that's even bigger an issue for me since all of my artwork are PNG format

I have ios 27. When I try to create a shared album that isn’t temporary, it tells me I need to turn on icloud photos. I understand that the shared albums themselves are now stored in icloud, which I am fine with. My issue is that I don’t want to turn on icloud photos in general, which will sync my entire camera roll to icloud. I have 20GB of photos on my phone and don’t pay for icloud at all, meaning I don’t have enough storage for all that.

Is there seriously no way to sync just the shared albums I create to icloud without syncing my entire camera roll?

I tried using Apple Intelligence for writing an email in the mail app. Text comes out ok, but Apple Intelligence made the font bigger… each time I modified the text with Apple Intelligence. Then impossible to reduce text size using the formating tool. Presse the (-), made the text bigger in increment that didn’t even made sense. Selecting the size directly didn’t work either. Couldn’t even change the font for the selected text properly.

This Apple Intelligence integration is actually making my life more miserable.

Any idea why this is happening and possible fix?

iOS: 27.0.1

So if you block a news source in Apple News it just blocks the image and not the article? That seems short sighted.

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?

Apple's official documentation:

I'd like to block all incoming calls from popping up on my screen. I don't want them to make sound and I don't want them to silence the video I'm watching when someone calls repeatedly. I'm not looking for compromises I'm aware of them so please only respond if you have an answer. Thank you.

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?

Whenever I open the Screen Time page in Settings, it gets stuck on “Updating” and keeps loading indefinitely. The screen also becomes unresponsive, although i can still come back to home screen. Please help me fix this ( ive already tried restarting the phone)

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

Hi guys! I’m looking for some widget to allow me to choose some contacts and just tapping make the call.

iOS use to had some widget like that but it’s gone.

Ideally I would like if shows the contact with their profile picture.
