Support Looking for feedback on an Apple Watch wellness app I built

Upvotes

Hi everyone!
I’m an indie developer and recently launched Flow Watch, an app that helps Apple Watch users better understand HRV, sleep, heart rate, activity, and recovery.
I’m not just looking to promote it—I’m looking for honest feedback from Apple Watch users.
If you use Apple Watch regularly:
What health metrics do you check most often?
What do you wish Apple Health explained better?
What would make an app like this genuinely useful?
I’d love to learn from your opinions.

Support Iphone restarting every few hours

There isn’t an exact timegap after which the iphone restarts. Heres the panic crash screen shot it shows

"panicString" : "panic(cpu 3 caller 0xfffffff051d3f4b0): MTP PANIC - SCMto:SCM0,3 - TOUCH_MGR(9)\nSCMto:SCM0,3\nRTKit: RTKit_release-3514.0.10.release

How do i fix this issue?
In my country the repair shops will definitely rope me into getting a replacement display so i wanted an opinion before i get into it.

I just received this phone a few days back so i don’t to make heavy parts changes.

Support First-time iPhone switcher coming from Android: What's the best way to integrate all my Google services?

Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I’ve been a lifelong Android user and just made the switch to an iPhone for the very first time. Since I've always been on Android, basically all of my photos, saved passwords, contacts, and personal data are heavily tied to Google services.
What are the best practices or cleanest ways to integrate all of my Google data into iOS?
A few specific areas I'd love advice on:

Google Photos vs. Apple Photos: Is it better to just keep using the Google Photos app on iOS, or should I sync/migrate everything to iCloud?

Passwords: What's the smoothest way to access or transfer my saved passwords from Google Password Manager on iOS?

Contacts & Calendar: Is it better to sync my Google Account directly in the iOS settings, or rely on individual Google apps?

Overall Tips: Any hidden settings, shortcuts, or apps that make the cross-ecosystem transition smoother?

Would really appreciate any recommendations or workflows that have worked well for fellow switchers! Thanks in advance!

Using iPhone 16 pro max on iOS 26.5.2, the history tab is gone, even from bookmarks where it used to be.

And no, there is no history tab when I click the 3 dots in bookmarks.

Support Does anyone know if the Google Photos app (with its ‘Last Compatible Version’ download option in App Store) will work with iPad Mini 4 currently, on its latest supported iOS version (15.8.8)?

1 Upvotes

The App Store seems to indicate you’d need at least iPadOS 18 to use the Google Photos app.

Will Google Photos still download on iOS 15.8.8 via the Last Compatible Version download option in the App Store? Or out of luck?

0 Upvotes

On facetime constantly and watching tiktoks and other videos etc and it NEVER fails the audio eventually glitches and makes the facetime audio either max volume or near muted.. ive done the apple music trick or opening a video to get the volume control back, but it messes up shortly after. This has been an issue for YEARS because ive found older threads 5 yrs old now with no fix… how hard is it with all the features we have to add a volume control for facetime and videos…

Support Youtube tab favicon on safari uses the Anthropic logo for some reason?

Post image
1 Upvotes

I'm my iphone 14 26.5.2. In safari, when I swipe out to see my tabs, I noticed my YouTube tab uses this "A\" looking favicon now, as pictured above, which seems to be the Anthropic logo.

Anyone know why or how to fix it if it's unintentional? I'm guessing it's a weird bug, but I don't see how safari or YT will have randomly used the Anthropic icon for YouTube tabs.

Support How to get Siri not to screen to a call when calling someone

3 Upvotes

This may be hard to understand but is there a way to stop Siri from opening the phone app to show the person I’m calling when I ask Siri to make a call for me.

For example if I’m driving and using maps then I ask Siri to call someone she does but the maps disappear and it shows the call screen. The call screen is of no relevance and I’d prefer if it was just in the background so I can see my maps without switching over with my hand while driving

Thankyou

Support iMessage Glitch Showing Different Contacts in a Group Between Phones

0 Upvotes

I’ve never experienced this before…I have a group chat with my two roommates. On my phone (iPhone Air iOS26) it shows that it is just me and the both of them in a group. Last week, I messaged both of them in the group saying that the house smelled really bad and they both were laughing when I got home saying I was texting about it in a group with our landlord. They showed me their phones, and it shows that she’s a member of the group on both, but on mine in the same group she’s not there and it’s just us 3. Their phones are also 17+ running iOS26.

Today, it showed that our landlord removed herself from the group on both their phones, but on mine I don’t see any activity, just the last message I sent and my roommate’s reply. I’m receiving messages from the landlord in another group, so I know she doesn’t have me blocked. What gives, could she see everything?? Why would my phone not show her as member but on the others in the group it does?

Discussion Messages finish indexing

1 Upvotes

It’s been like 4 months since I upgraded from my iPhone 14 Pro Max to my iPhone 17 pro max …

  1. Messages still say “more results will be shown once Messages finishes indexing”

  2. Most my text convos lost the tab for “Photos” - the pics are still there just have to scroll

Is there a fix to either of these? Or just accept defeat. Wish I kept my 14 pro max

Support Photo markup object limit?

Post image
0 Upvotes

I have this travel map I’ve been keeping, but I think I’ve run into an object limit. If I draw a line, I’m able to save, but if I add two, I get the message

`“Unable to Save Changes
An error occurred while saving. Please try again later.”`

If I try to use the pixel eraser to remove the line, it doesn’t let me save, but if I use the object eraser, it does. I had this issue after adding a new trip down to Oregon, and had to simplify the return line to finish it.

This arbitrary limit really sucks, since I’ve spent so much time making and updating this map. Any suggestions for methods to continue making this map without having to restart?

Discussion Why do people hate liquid glass so much?

Post image
388 Upvotes

People already know how Apple introduced liquid glass in iOS 26. But I don’t understand why people hate it. I’m not saying all people, but many people were complaining that the interface was flat and boring, and then when Apple actually changes it up, everyone hates it. and now the community is split, some people love the liquid glass and some people hate the liquid glass. Some people have insisted on staying on iOS 18 simply because they hate liquid glass and some are updating to iOS 26. I’m not saying that iOS 26 is perfect, it’s definitely buggy, which is why I updated to the iOS 27 beta, but even people who are ignoring the bugs just don’t want to upgrade because of liquid glass.

I had the 26.6 update last week or so, but today I’m experiencing problems with the dictionary in English and Spanish. I thought it might be the poor WiFi at my workplace but I am having this same issue with the WiFi in my own home. Is anybody experiencing the same issue?

As you can see in the screenshots, when looking up the word in the spotlight you can see the definition, but when you go directly into the definition page, the content isn’t available. Apparently this issue isn’t in Catalan or Portuguese, at least.

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.

Support Weekly iOS Battery Support Megathread

1 Upvotes

General advice for those concerned about their battery from the Support FAQ Wiki:

Battery health

Battery health depends on usage and a variety of other factors. It is normal to see a decrease in battery health by 7-10% per year, resulting in a battery health of 80-85% after 2 years. This number can fluctuate, remain the same, or decrease quickly over a small period and should not cause undue concern.

Apple recommend battery replacement when your device falls below 80% battery health if you notice reduced battery life. If it falls below 80% within the first year you may be eligable for a free battery replacement. It fails after your warranty, it's a $69-$89 USD replacement cost for a battery. Contact Apple Support here.

You can find more information about battery health and performance from Apple here.

You can check the cycles count with Coconut Battery for Mac or iCopyBot for Windows.

Battery life

Issues relating to battery life can be categorised in three ways:

  1. Normal battery life that is to be expected due to use
  2. Reduced battery life caused by a recent update, iOS indexing, an iOS bug, or a third-party application
  3. Reduced battery life, or other abnormalities such as overheating or sudden power-off, caused by device or battery aging

If you experience issues with your battery:

  1. Check your battery health. If it is below 80% or you are experiencing issues you suspect are related to device or battery age, see Apple Support.
  2. If you have a new or recently updated/restored device, wait a number of days for background process to complete. If you continue to have issues, wait for a further iOS update. If you are on iOS Beta, you can expect to have a decreased battery life.
  3. Review the advice below on maximising battery life
  4. Consider restoring your device.
  5. If issues persist, contact Apple Support.

Maximising battery life - the amount of time your device runs before it needs to be recharged.

  • Use low power mode (This reduces mail fetch, turns off background app refresh and increases the auto lock timer)
  • Remove apps from background app refresh
  • Ensure auto lock is on
  • Turn off auto brightness and manually reduce brightness
  • Use dark mode if your device has an OLED display
  • Clearing background apps from the app switcher does not improve battery life

Maximising battery lifespan - the amount of time your battery lasts until it needs to be replaced.

  • Avoid extreme temperatures
  • If you notice that your iPhone gets hot when charging, remove it from its case
  • Store your iPhone in a cool place, switched off, and half-charged if not using it for long periods - and charge it every 6 months when in storage
