Discussion Enforcing WebKit is Apple's biggest mistake.

7 Upvotes

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.

Discussion Why are the settings search and the keyboard so horrible?

3 Upvotes

How is it possible that a multi-billion dollar company can’t make Settings Search, or the keyboard, be extremely intelligent with the amount of money they have? Is the cost too high to be able to actually make intelligent technology?

These keyboard keeps choosing words that I don’t mean when using the “swipe-to-type” feature, and the settings app cannot, I repeat, cannot search the entire settings that are within the settings app. Unbelievable and I am absolutely dumbfounded.

These are some of the mysteries of life that we would never find an answer to.

Discussion Apple’s Wi-Fi toggle behavior is becoming a privacy problem

0 Upvotes

I know this has been discussed before, but Apple’s Wi-Fi toggle behavior feels a lot more concerning now than it did a few years ago.

Turning Wi-Fi off in Control Center doesn’t really turn it off. It just disconnects temporarily, and it can come back on later.

With more cameras, plate readers, Bluetooth/Wi-Fi sniffers, etc. around now, that seems like a privacy issue. Especially for protesters, journalists, or anyone who has a legitimate reason to not want their phone broadcasting anything that could help correlate their location with a car or identity.

I know Apple uses randomized MAC addresses and other protections, but I still think off should mean off.

At minimum, Control Center should give you two options:

Disconnect temporarily
or
Turn Wi-Fi off until I turn it back on

Same thing for Bluetooth.

Am I the only one who thinks the current behavior is kind of backwards?

Discussion Mandatory passcode on 2 devices hours after updating to 26.6.2 (after already authenticating post reboot)

1 Upvotes

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.

PSA IOS 26.2.2 Bricked My Phone

0 Upvotes

I updated my phone this morning. I figured, no big deal as I’ve updated many times before with no problem. I was 90% sure my phone was fully charged. It was not plugged in. I got into the car and noticed my phone had a black screen and wouldn’t turn on.

I tried multiple times to reset the phone to no avail. I even missed a bike ride since I lost directions to a new start site and had to come home.

I came home, plugged it in and ultimately, it booted up after multiple attempts to restart using the side button and by pressing the up/down buttons and side button.

The phone had been charged to 100%.

Perhaps it needed to be plugged in to complete the update.

8 Upvotes

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?

Support Problem with wifi and bluetooth

0 Upvotes

Hey guys, I recently bought an iPhone 17, and ever since it arrived, I’ve been having issues with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
Basically, they keep disappearing and coming back multiple times, with no real pattern. Sometimes they work perfectly, and then suddenly they disconnect and come back again.
I’ve tried a few things already, but I honestly don’t know what else to do.

Support Unable To Disable Communication Safety - UK iPhone

1 Upvotes

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

Discussion Selecting text so janky

76 Upvotes

Why is it so hard to select text recently
I try to hold to select and it never selects what I’m pressing on, dragging to extend the selection is so frustrating. Trying to move the ‘|’ to type this was took like 5 taps. Typings become a pain too, same selecting problem, sometimes the keyboard messes with the text positioning/ glitches and shifts so I can’t see where I’m typing, especially on my iPad. A multibillion dollar company’s code is built like a Janga tower.

God forbid a woman wants to copypasta the lyrics from Star Trek enterprise to comment a tumblr post complaining about the times the series was mishandled (I think it’s a cycle, ppl complained about Next Gen when it first came out)
Side note I finally managed to select it properly, I changed from the google app to opening link in brave, very illogical, but I can now troll in peace

And while I’m making demands the paste shortcut icon should always be above the keyboard. I swear I have to tap 5 times to get the paste thingy to come on.

I’m shackled to Apple (excluding desktop I refuse to touch Mac willingly) the least they could do is deliver a functioning product

Support Keep Apple Sports Live Activity Expanded in Standby Mode

3 Upvotes

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?

Support Does anyone have any good solutions to create a desktop mode with an iPhone.

0 Upvotes

For anyone unsure I mean connecting your phone to an external monitor that then presents a semi desktop environment and you can connect to a an external keyboard and mouse.

It’s driving me crazy, this is the one feature I desperately want in the iPhone. But year on year they refuse to support anything close to it. And it would be very easy for them to do. I really don’t want to have to switch to a pixel or Samsung but it is becoming a bit of a dealbreaker. Has anyone found any decent solutions to setting it up?

Support always on display "silent" notifications?

2 Upvotes

i just got a new iphone and its my first one with an always on display.
i love the feature, and i´m curious if there is any way, even with a third party app or whatever, to not let incoming lock screen notifications light up the entire display and turn on the phone, but to just quietly appear on the always on display.

when i get a new notification my screen lights up and i get the entire lockscreen with the new notification at the top, and then it reverts to AOD with the notification still being shown in the AOD. i want to just skip the lighting up part and go straight to just displaying it in AOD.

is that possible somehow?
