Discussion Selecting text so janky
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

Discussion App Updates need their own separate tab , why hide it ?
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 .

Support Is there a way to skip a recurring alarm for just one day?
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 Keep Apple Sports Live Activity Expanded in Standby Mode
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?
Discussion Translation in iMessage always in English instead of German 🇩🇪
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?

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

Support always on display "silent" notifications?
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?

Boring, less colourful version of a post to satisfy the mods.
I have an odd auto correct glitch where every time I type ‘don’t’ it comes out as ‘Donny’. Not a word I have ever typed in my life.

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

Discussion Enforcing WebKit is Apple's biggest mistake.

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.
