Hello,

I’ve been a Samsung user for over a decade and recently switched to iPhone. So far it’s been a learning experience and trying my best to like it.

One thing to be desired is the mail app. The default Samsung mail was pretty good, but the default iphone mail app leaves a lot to be desired. The gmail and yahoo apps are ok~ but not great and the sponsored ads disguised as emails is really off putting. Does anyone have any good email app recommendations?

Thanks in advance.

Turn off Connectivity Assist for each Wifi Setting you have connected

My wife and I just updated our iPhone 14s to iOS 27 and now our phones ring through their speakers and not our headsets. I haven't been able to find an obvious way to change this. Can it be changed?

Seems like most apps are automatically reloading upon opening and circumventing the no background refresh. Really frustrating the every time I lock my phone for a minute and reopen that I lose my place because the app refreshes the main screen of the app. Any fix for this?

Edit: I checked after making this post, and background refresh has been ON this whole time. I’m guessing when I updated to 26 that it turned it on for all my apps. That being said this issue started when I updated to iOS26 months ago.

Is this a bug? Why doesn’t the timer widget show the same thing as the alarm widget. Where my quick start a timer I had before go. Give me back my convenience.

Just prefacing this by saying this isn't an "am I blocked?" question, more a "wtf" or "well-being" inquiry.

Family member that's not really easy to get ahold of/somewhat reclusive that I have to keep an eye on has always had iPhone with iMessage. Out of nowhere the other day, I went to send a message and it's defaulting to RCS green-bubble now, has stayed that way for the last 2 days. I sent one message a few days ago, it hung as RCS for a few minutes then said "sent as SMS" or whatever.

I'm not certain but I think they use Verizon. My best guess is they didn't pay their phone bill and service got cut, but I'm not certain how that would impact iMessage. It's unlikely but they could have switched to Android for whatever reason.

It's the same for both iPhone's Messages app and desktop Messages; both say contact verification is Unavailable in red.

Anyone have any insight for why that sequence would be happening?

Do I need to be concerned that the name of my iPhone which was “my name’s iphone” randomly switched to just “iPhone”? I know iPhone is the generic name but when I got this phone I made it my name and then one day I randomly noticed in general it was just called iPhone. Even weirder was that it still showed it as “my names iPhone” when viewing it in find my for my device. It only changed under general. Also no one else on my home WiFi has my name so I don’t think that turned mine to something else

It’s pretty difficult to see what font I want when all the titles are the default Apple Font

Can you guys suggest best option for quick action button on lock screen i thinking of replacing the camera one since we have camera control button to quickly open camera

My wife and I both got 18 Pro Maxes a few days ago--and that's when it appears problems with RCS messaging started; particularly if the the receiving party has a new Android. In one case, the Android owner toggled RCS on and off and that solved the problem. In other cases, nothing seems to work. No problems with Apple blue bubble messages. Thought when Apple added RCS it was supposed to solve the incompatibility problems! Any ideas?

Hi all,

Title pretty much explains it, I would like an app similar to Google keep where I can share notes with my partner but I have an apple and would like it to show up as a widget on my home screen.

Any recommendations?

Im looking for the following features:

- at least a 4 x 4 widget

- can edit and send notes to a synced account/ partner’s account

- free

- has the potential for two separate widgets with different notepads (e.g. one grocery list, one to-do list)

I just updated to iOS 27, checked my available storage space and gasped! Photo storage on my phone went from less than 5gb to over 21gb. I have 6,000 photos on iCloud where I use about 40gb.

Have you seen this?

I have the available memory on my iphone but my 64GB pad is already full. And wonder what will happen when I update the pad.

This is to view family members' status.

Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)

I need to clear it all the time. I don’t want this to coming in the first place.

I’ve already tried disabling

AirPlay & Continuity > automatically AirPlay disabled
Remote > disabled live tv buttons

The option for depth effect is now gone on iOS 27.

After setting up my new iPhone 18 Pro (27.0.1) last night, one bug I noticed was that a couple of my friends who share their location with me doesn't update in Find My. It just says No Location Found. If I try to see their locations from iMessage or something like that it says No Location Found Off-network. If I try to see their location using Find My on my Mac, it shows up normally. Both friends said they can see my location just fine.

Maybe its coincidence, but the three peoples' locations that I can see are part of my iCloud family while the other two are not.

I never had this issue on my old iPhone.

Has anyone else experienced anything similar? Is this something that will resolve on its own, or is there something I have to do to fix it?

I have previously used the silent toggle to keep my phone from making any sound, and letting my Apple Watch notify me of whatever events. Out of curiosity, I wondered if there was a less sweeping way of managing phone sounds, as some apps won’t play sound due to the silent setting and maybe I would want certain audible notifications, but not for example my phone to ring. I followed what I figured were the obvious steps, including setting the phone ringer volume to zero as well as changing my other notification settings to “none.” in spite of that, phone calls still audibly ring from the iPhone speaker. Is this a bug or am I not changing a certain setting? My spouse’s phone does the same.

I don’t have any pass-through options so calls that are getting through are not getting through because of their emergency contact status or whatever. Every call still rings through in spite of the ringer volume being off.

For the past days I‘ve been experiencing some difficulties with charging.

My iPhone 15 doesn‘t constantly charge with one set of cables.
Both cables and charging adapter are brand new. The cables work perfectly fine with my iPad. My iPhone charges perfectly fine with other cables.

Because of this I‘m positive that both the charging port as well as the cables work fine.

Restarting the phone works for some time (1-2 days). After that the problem reoccurs.

What might be the reason for this?

Thanks in advance.

It’s all started from 24 GB, but now it went up after deleting some photo and video in the app. I have already delete the one in Recently Deleted as well, yet it doesn’t get any better.

At first I thought it went up because I’m moving it to my macbook, which later on I delete the one in my mac as well and completely move it to my usb but it still wouldn’t budge.

I’m pretty sure it went up like this because I did too much screen recording, which I have delete all of them, again. And now I’m have no idea how to actually delete the data.

Can anyone help me how to clear it up?
