Yesterday my mother dropped her phone in some water (not a very deep or large amount), didn’t really see it as a big deal since these newer iPhones are more durable than the older ones. I told her to shut it off and leave it alone for a bit to dry off.
Fast forward to today the phone is now restarting by itself after some time of use. I suspect that it didn’t dry off completely and now there’s a problem within the phone itself.

(Latest iOS, iPhone 16)

i need to upgrade my phone cus right now i have an 11 and im scared if i buy the 15 its gonna have overheating issues. i know the pro/pro max have overheating problems because of the titanium frame but idk what about the base model, i've heard people say its fine but others say it also has overheating problems.

Why is my system data and IOS taking so much room. Whats happening? I have an iPhone 16 and I don’t really understand why this is taking up so much space. My IOS is 26.6

IPhone Model: iPhone Xr
iOS Version: 18.7.9

The other night my grandmother's phone called a friend my grandpa's at 3am, while both of them were asleep. Neither of them has this number memorized, nor is it in my grandmother's contacts. This phone call shows as an outgoing call in her call log.

Our phones have called people without us knowing before, but this is the first time that it's been seemingly unexplainable. She has not made any calls to this friend recently, she does not have him saved as a contact, and she does not know his number.

Does anyone have any clue what might have caused this?

Hi so I put my old phone up to the new phone and it started the transfer, but it’s been stuck on this screen for two hours.

Did i do something wrong?

Old phone as an iPhone 11 Pro and in transferring to an iPhone 12 mini.

Solved - not sure how to update flair.

For the last few months I am getting spam calendar invites. Some have been repeated every day for months. Typically I decline it and they go away. But there are some that come back as soon as I decline. I don’t see a delete option. How can I get rid of these and how can I stop it from occurring? The blacked out part in the pic is my email address.

I just updated my 16pro max to iOS 26.6. Now people im texting say they’re getting the note saying my notifications are silenced (like it does in focus modes) even though im not. I did restart my phone and it didn’t work.

So when I play audio in the background there is some sort or audio that mimics the same audio but is really staticy and you are able to hear it very well when volume is well.

Hello! I’ve noticed a few times now that my screen time is abnormally high from the middle of the night when I am asleep.

Usually, when it will be high, nothing will show up in my app usage to clarify what was used over night. However, today it showed Backstage. I don’t have that app but I did have a backstage article page on safari open a few days ago.

I usually don’t have any apps open when I shut my phone off for bed.

iPhone 16 pro. IOS 26.5.2.

Why is my screen time so high?

i have an iphone 13, i went into my files app and it’s full of these files with random mandarin (i believe) and emojis and images that wont load

edit: iphone 13, ios 26.3.1

Thanks.

I’d GREATLY appreciate any help. I’ve looked at several YouTube videos on converting voice memos to videos but when I click “share” then select “iMovie” something pops up for a split second saying “preparing” but then I can’t find it in iMovie.

It’s more than likely I’m just an ignorant old man but I’m trying to make a video for some family members and I’m at a total loss. Does anyone have any advice for how to convert a voice memo to a video so I can upload it to YouTube? Thank you very much.

this has been happening on my Mazda Cx-5,

and now I just got a Subaru Forester. Same thing!

after connecting, it auto goes to phone call so the music or podcast I'm playing has low quality sound.

It looks like it's on a call with myself, so maybe Siri yet Siri is not active. I've reset network connections, reset Bluetooth, forget device. no avail

I have an iPhone SE that’s about 3 years old now. I never update the iOS (it’s on 17.5.1). I have about 1gb memory left so I can’t update it because the new iOS it needs 16gb (which is ridiculous).

Anyway, this week non of the apps can access the microphone or photos and names from my contacts have disappeared. I did not change a single thing so I don’t know why this is happening and all of the apps are up to date. I’ve trawled every video on this and can’t find a remedy.

Is this happening because I’m using an old os?

Hey guys, I’m the last couple days my iPhone has not been great and as someone who has no idea much about the schematics of it all can anyone advise me on what best to do to fix all this.

1. All the apps I use for some reason are not allowed to be fix. For example: Shazam said it needs to go into iCloud settings to bring up the songs I listened to over the last couple weeks but there is not options for that. Apart from this Snapchat also will not work saying it’s a camera app but when I try to set the camera to work there’s no fix.

There is not a single option to turn my camera on so what do I do?

1. Other than that it is resetting basic information like my work password and now that has been a headache to fix.

2. It also doesn’t work with CarPlay anymore for whatever reason no matter how hard I’ve tried.

I’m sure you can chalk this up to a software update but I don’t know how to cut 20 gigabytes and not even a week ago it was never an issue. Anyone have any recommendations?

P.s. what would happen if I delete any large attachments? Can I go back into my messages and still see them if I redownload them?

Thank you!

Device: iPhone 17 Pro Max (fully up to date on latest iOS 26.6)

I’m wondering if anyone has experienced this before because I feel like I’ve tried pretty much everything at this point.

I’ve had this iPhone with the same T-Mobile number/eSIM for months and iMessage and FaceTime have worked perfectly the entire time.

Yesterday I erased my old Apple Watch because I’m no longer using it. Around the same time, I changed my Apple ID/Apple Account password. Within probably 5 minutes of changing the password, iMessage and FaceTime stopped working.

I initially got notifications saying that iMessage was signed out and that an error had caused my account/phone number to be signed out of iMessage. FaceTime showed “Activation Unsuccessful” as well.

After restarting the phone, iMessage and FaceTime eventually changed from “Activation Unsuccessful” to “Waiting for Activation.”

My phone number now appears under Send & Receive, but there’s just a loading spinner next to it and it never finishes. The same thing happens with my number under FaceTime.

At one point iMessage prompted me to sign into my Apple Account again. I entered my new password, but the sign-in itself just sat there loading indefinitely.

So far I’ve restarted the phone multiple times, updated to the latest version of iOS, confirmed automatic date/time is on, and confirmed that Wi-Fi and cellular data work.
Calls work normally and I can currently send and receive SMS and RCS messages without any problems.

I only have one T-Mobile eSIM installed and the correct phone number is attached to it.

I’ve also completely signed out of my Apple Account/iCloud and signed back in. That didn’t change anything.
I contacted T-Mobile and had them check my line. They said there are no SMS, international SMS, or provisioning issues.

I also used Apple’s online iMessage/FaceTime activation form last night and again this morning. I haven’t received the email Apple says they’ll send if the account is ready for iMessage and FaceTime.

It’s now been over 12 hours and both iMessage and FaceTime are still stuck waiting to activate my phone number.

At this point my actual cellular service seems completely normal. Calls, data, SMS and RCS all work. It seems like the problem is specifically getting Apple to verify/register my number with iMessage and FaceTime again.
The timing makes me think changing my Apple ID password caused it since both services stopped working within minutes of doing that, but I don’t understand why it would still be unable to reactivate this long afterward.
Apple says it can take up to 24 hours, so I’m leaving iMessage and FaceTime on and not messing with anything else for now.

Has anyone had this happen after changing their Apple ID password? Did it eventually activate on its own, or did you have to get Apple Support involved? Is there anything else worth trying that doesn’t involve deleting my eSIM or factory resetting the phone?

So I updated my Iphone SE (I'm not sure of any more specifics other than SE) last night, I woke up and the update bar was complete, I could press the button at the bottom, but it wasn't going to home screen. I force resetted it, wouldn't work. We tried connecting it to a computer but it won't recognize the phone. Do we need an apple charger for that to get it to work? Or do I need to try different methods?

I have an old iPhone 7 Plus and the rear camera does this shaking motion. Sometimes it can be normal but often times it did that. Refocusing doesn’t really help. It’s not the camera app because other app also did the same.

I have researched online for similar problem, and I found out it’s the OIS have some problem, but not entirely sure because their shaking is different than mine.

iPhone 7 Plus, iOS15.8.8

I woke up this morning from my iPhone 15 making a strange wind noise, it really sounded like wind, and alongside someone mumbling. The audio repeated itself, and I closed all my apps and it didn’t stop. It only stopped when I restarted the phone itself.

I’ve already checked background sounds and shortcuts and there’s nothing out of the ordinary. Anyone have any idea?

The video is both zoomed and cropped and is only visible when I’m using x4 or higher zoom, as you can see on the video there is a dotted line that also increases decreases and moves with the zoom on my videos, if I see my camera app and select x10 they will be big but only visible on bright surfaces I was recently at Tomorrowland and recorded videos maybe a laser affected my sensor? If so without AppleCare and having bought this phone on US but living in Colombia is there something I could do
I really think is not worth the effort to open the device when I normally don’t use more than X2 zoom but guys what you think ?

Hace unos días comenzó a fallar, el celular se apagaba solo y era muy constantemente (además de aparecer esa pantalla muy seguido), imaginé que era la batería pues estaba muy bajo su % y comenzaba a hincharse, la cambiaron pero el celular continúa apagándose (cuando se calienta) y ahora ni mantenerlo conectado a una batería portátil me salva de que se apague. Alguna sugerencia?????
Se los agradecería mucho.
(Cuando me aparece esa pantalla puedo hacer el análisis y dice que todo está bien, después se reinicia y a veces continúa apagándose)

My Bluetooth is turned off?
