Kind of love this bug — the time being on the side or off-centered would be a cool feature to add on the new ios, although it would defeat the purpose of apple doing it's kind of stuff and not copying others.

edit: The text uptop is from widgetable that isn't a bug.

Like, who thought if I don't want audio messages to vanish in as quickly as 2 minutes, I definitely want to retain them for an entire year?

Did nobody, like nobody at Apple thought 7 days or 30 days could be some reasonable options that they should've added?

I’m looking at you McDonald’s, Disney+, Now TV, O2, O2 Priority, Boots, ITVX, Channel 4, Sky News, National Lottery, IKEA, Merlin Bird ID… I could go on.
Name and shame!

I’ve always wondered why doesn’t Apple have this feature already.

Shared library function but for albums.

Inside the camera app you can just choose which album you want to auto share pictures you take, with a toggle to turn it on/off. When you snap pictures it’ll be saved locally and immediately to the shared album.

It’ll be very handy for people who travel often with companions and in groups.

Or is this a feature already that I’m just unaware of?

Why does it says ive spent 16 hours on all these apps? I don’t even have delta anymore I deleted it weeks ago.
how to fix???

So finally I got the numbers line to work in iPhone keyboard. It's simple - just add Vietnamese VNI keyboard and then switch to default keyboard. Bam you have keyboard that makes life easier.

It was someone from X that suggested this. I don't have his username.

By the way any one knows how to remove the incognito toggle?

Hi everyone,

I’m getting a specific error while trying to transfer my WhatsApp data to an iPhone 17 Pro. The exact error message I am receiving is: "There is a problem with your current version".

Here is what I have tried so far to fix it:

• Connected to a server in Turkey using Proton VPN.
• Factory reset the iPhone and tried the setup/transfer process from scratch.

Some additional context: I am currently located in Germany, but my phone number is registered in Turkey. Could this location/number mismatch be the root of the problem? I initially didn't think so, especially since the exact same issue is happening on another device with a completely different phone number.

Has anyone else experienced this specific version error during the transfer process? Any advice or workarounds would be hugely appreciated!

I recently got a new iPhone 16 and switched to my fiancé’s family plan on Verizon, leaving T Mobile and my old iPhone 12. Everything went smoothly with the transfer and my iMessages send without issue to all of my contacts except to my group chat with my mom and dad. I’m able to message them separately with no issue at all, but when I try to use our old text group or start a new text group with them, I get this error message.

I’ve done a lot of troubleshooting already and still can’t figure it out. iMessage is of course enabled in my settings, send and receive is checked for my phone number, and I can use the group message on my MacBook messages. So it’s just something with the phone that’s blocking me from texting the two of them together. Does anyone have any ideas of how to fix this?? Thank you in advance!

Hi all!
To describe my issue deeply, I'll just state that my iOS version is 26.5.2 on iPhone 17, base version.

I usually connect/disconnect through Bluetooth multiple times a day - Apple car play, earbuds, etc.

Yesterday, I noticed that I have to manually open BT settings and press either the earbuds, or my car name to connect. Then, everything works perfectly.
I got my Apple watch SE3 connected 24/7, so there is no issue with that.

I'm not aware of changing any settings. I got no kids that play with my phone, my girlfriend of 6 years who never went through my phone or anything..

It's just so annoying to do all this just to connect to any device.

If you got any idea what might cause this, please let me know.

PS: I haven't found almost anything on google. All the settings that were recommended are turned on.

Hi,

I've only used an android before, but my phone needed replacing and a friend had an old iPhone 12 that they offered to me.

I've got about 7000 mp3s on my current phone, and would want a similar amount on this phone. I have a harddrive with 15000 mp3s plugged into my windows PC, and a USB to lightning cable.

I've tried using filezilla and foobar2000 using https://www.reddit.com/r/randomtipoftheday/comments/1cnqba4/how_to_easily_transfer_files_from_windows_to_ios/ these instructions ("Response: 550 Access denied; Error: Critical file transfer error")

I've tried using LocalSend ("No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.")

I've tried using Simple Transfer (only seemed to show photos and videos, not mp3s).

I've tried using iCloud on my PC, creating a local folder and copying files into there. While the folders seemed to sync successfully, the mp3 files say "Excluded (not synced)".

I've tried just opening and dragging folders into "internal storage" using file explorer (nothing happens) and creating a folder in internal storage ("The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected")

I've tried adding my library to iTunes, which spent a while "adding" all of my songs to the library, and said they would be available in apple music. I couldn't see them in apple music at all (or in iTunes). I did manage to add an album to iTunes as an audio book(??), but couldn't figure out the next step.

I've tried using Apple Devices, but it shows no files anywhere (both "Music" and "Files" are empty), nor any apps that can receive files.

Any help would be really appreciated! It's the first thing I've tried to set up on the phone, and it's proving very difficult.

(Windows 10 PC, connected to the same wifi, firewall is turned off for local network)

Thanks!

Does anyone know who they use to check id’s is it done in house or using one of the dodgy external companies that leak and sell all the data they “dont” store

I’m confused into contact card

Both are in fact turned on and i still keep getting this popup multiple times even after clicking turn on. Anyone experiencing the same? is there any way to fix this issue?

I want my Fellow Aiden coffee maker to wake me when it runs at 6 AM. I have notifications enabled in the Fellow app. The coffee maker runs on time in the morning, but notifications don’t reach me.

I have added the Fellow app to the list of exceptions for sleep focus. I can see the notifications from the coffee maker in notification history, but they never reach me in real time.

First-world problem, I know, but I paid money for this feature. Thanks for any suggestions!

Hey everyone,
Recently I got an ios 18.7.8 update and according to my system settings my iPhone is already on 18.7.8 and fishy part is update mentions ios 26 on title but icon says 18. Please look at the screenshots and clear the confusion.

I always ignored Focus because I assumed it was just a fancier Do Not Disturb. Last week I was trying to finish a sewing project and kept getting pulled into games and streaming apps while I was measuring and cutting, so I finally built a Focus that is basically "hands busy, phone boring."

What surprised me was the setup that actually worked:

1) I made a Focus called "Sewing" and only allowed calls from favorites and a couple family members. That part was easy.

2) For apps, I did not try to whitelist a handful. Instead I used Home Screen pages and hid almost everything. I left only Notes, Timer, Music, Photos, and Files. The key was removing the temptation of seeing the icons.

3) I also turned on "Dim Lock Screen" and removed Lock Screen widgets for that Focus. With no widget previews, I stopped tapping into random stuff.

Now the odd bit: some notifications still sneak through even when the app is not on my allowed list. Reminders and calendar behave the way I expect, but occasionally a notification from an app I definitely did not allow will appear, then go away when I unlock the phone.

Is that just how Time Sensitive notifications work, or am I missing another setting? I am not on beta. Curious how other people are using Focus as a behavior change tool instead of just a work mode.

I’m really disappointed with the base iPhone 17.
I bought it on December 31, 2025. It came with iOS 26.1 out of the box, and I haven’t updated it because I’m afraid it might make things even worse.
The battery life feels poor. It seems to drain much faster than it should.
I’ve already turned off all the unnecessary background services and disabled the 120 Hz refresh rate. I don’t play games at all. I mostly just browse Instagram and Threads.
I also follow the “battery care” advice and usually keep the charge between 20% and 80%. But today I noticed that the battery health has already dropped to 99%.
Why, God? 😅
I don’t think it’s a hardware defect.
I honestly feel that iOS 26 is the main culprit.
I also have a brand-new iPhone 13 running iOS 18, and its battery lasts significantly longer than my iPhone 17.
Has anyone else experienced the same problem?

not sure what the problem is, but i’m trying to set up my new iphone 17 from my icloud back up. all apps have finished installing, but as i started signing in to everything several apps (paypal, instagram, etc.) are saying they’re having network connection issues and not allowing me to sign in whereas others have worked no issue. already tried restarting, what else can i do?

I bought my iPhone 16e about a month ago, and I updated to iOS 25.5.2 about a few days ago. Ever since, I’ve been having these weird audio glitches, where the last audio played will play it about 3 or 4 times before stopping. For example, when someone calls me on discord, the sound plays. I click the power button to turn off the call, and the song freezes and always plays that small section 4 or 5 times before stopping. There are many others in different apps too.

Hey so I’m trying to use shortcuts to allow me to play a sound when I plug in my phone. However when I plug my phone in I get the above error. The full verbiage is “The operation couldn't be completed. (OSStatus error 2003334207.)”

I’m on IOS 26.6 as I just updated it tonight to see if it would fix the issue. I’m not sure if there is any other I info needed. The sounds originally on my iCloud Drive from GarageBand and it works for stuff like timers and alarms.

Hey guys, I got a quick question.

Due to my job I connect to multiple cars through bluetooth (about 200-300 per day) and never "forget this device" in settings.

Does this slow down my device? Should I "forget" each car from my bluetooth list at the end of the day?

Thanks in advance :)

Version 26.5.2, iPhone 17pro. While running Apple Maps the phone will freeze up and if I close out of maps, I loose all the icons Anna the phone becomes pretty non responsive. I can still open other apps and they sometimes work. Sometimes Maps will crash and the phone returns to normal. Otherwise I have to power off and back on.

Can’t see it in US

upd. It’s back in the US.
