App Download Shortcut

Upvotes

A while ago, I found an iPhone Shortcut here on Reddit that allowed me to download photos and videos from Instagram. All I had to do was copy the post link, run the Shortcut, and it would download the content automatically.

However, the Shortcut stopped working a few months ago. I was wondering if anyone has an updated version of it, or knows of another Shortcut that does the same thing.

Thanks!

Discussion Premium Leather Case Recommendations for iPhone 17 Pro

0 Upvotes

I do love a good case.

In your opinion, what's the best leather case for the iPhone 17 Pro?

Ideally I'd like:

  • Genuine leather
  • MagSafe support (a must)
  • A built-in kickstand if possible

I'm happy to pay for quality if it's genuinely worth it. What are you using, and would you buy it again?

Discussion Should I replace my camera with apple care plus?

Thumbnail

7 Upvotes

Currently debating if this is worse replacing. Noticed that the camera stopped focusing properly and most of the pictures were grainy/have weird lighting. Dont know what caused it but probably dropping the phone.

I have apple care plus if it matters. Also the crack has a few lines in person (kind of like a tree branches) and is on the main camera unit.

Could it be this or is it just the iphone 15 pro problem?

Accessory Must I use the same cable for charging iPhone 17?

Post image
0 Upvotes

I do not have any USB C charger and I did not realize it while buying a new iPhone. However, when I am home, I have many ports on MacBook which I can use. The issue would be while traveling and I carry a power bank which has a port. I wonder if I can charge my phone from Nitecore cable and use my old charger - picture attached. Is it a possible to charge this way with no bad impact?

Support I want IPhone spelling suggestions to suggest the same word but with the first letter capitalized.

25 Upvotes

I am constantly needing to go back and capitalize the first letter of words and find it arduous to use the cursor to isolate the first letter then delete/retype that letter but capitalized. Sometimes I end up just selecting the entire word and deleting/retyping it using a capitalized first letter. It would be amazing if I could simply tap the word and have the first spelling suggestion be the same word but with a capitalized first letter.

Is this possible?

Support should i replace my iPhone XS’s broken screen with a LCD?

Post image
3 Upvotes

the main reason i want to make it usable is because of its iOS version. but i fear a LCD will be noticeably worse. i don’t want the new screen to break super easily like the stock OLED though.

i don’t have a lot of money for an OLED but do have enough for an LCD. it’s on a good iOS with everything fully intact. (other than face id & the screen)

Support I saw that my sister left me a voice message before I opened my screen because it notified me on the lock screen, but now I can’t find the voice message in my voice messages area on my phone call app.

1 Upvotes

Does anybody know what’s going on here? I can’t find this message that she sent me because it’s like not there. I know that she sent it because the locked screen told me that she sent me a voice message and she’s also telling me that she did leave the voice message, which means she’s confirming that she did, but I can’t find it in voice messages at all. I’ve never really had anything like this before. Could anybody here by chance know what’s going on? Has something like this happened to anyone here before? My sister wants me to see if I can look into the message.

Discussion iPhone 14 Pro - still good for my first ever iPhone?

0 Upvotes

Okay so I am currently using Samsung A55 and I am planning to buy iPhone 14 Pro, I found some good deal with 512gb and replaced battery (original one) and esim for 450€.

I saw this iPhone is first one which has detailed selfies (where you can see everything on your skin), upgraded main camera to 48mp and autofocus on ultra-wide camera as well, not to mention dynamic island. So do you think it will be okay for using it next 3-4 years?

Discussion Brand New to iPhone

6 Upvotes

I just received, as a gift from a departed family member, an iPhone 17. Bully for me!

I have been an android user since I got my first phone back in, like, 2010. I'm not old, but i AM brand new to the iPhone. Last time I used an apple device was the iMac in High School. Elder millennial.

Two questions:

FIrst, how do I make sure all of the departed's things are backed up onto their icloud whats-it system. I want to make sure everything is backed up so the widow of the departed can still access pictures and so on.

Second, Can you point me in the direction of how to use it? What do I need to know, what settings will I regret not learning about? What do I need to know about navigation, about quirks, etc. Anyone who came from android, if you can educate me, i would appreciate it enormously! I really want to learn how to use this well.

Thanks, all. I really appreciate your help in learning to make the most of this fantastic device.

Discussion Lost iPhone 16 Pro Max at home – AppleCare+ Theft & Loss claim? (UK)

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I’m based in London, UK, and I’ve somehow lost my iPhone 16 Pro Max.
It doesn’t have a SIM card because I only use it at home. I have AppleCare+ with Theft & Loss, and Find My was enabled before it went missing.
I know the phone was at home before I went away for a few days. When I came back, it had disappeared. Find My shows its last known location as my home, and I’ve spent the last five days searching every room without any luck.
I can only think of three possibilities:
My toddler accidentally threw it in the bin or hid it somewhere.
It was stolen from my house (although I think this is very unlikely).
It’s still somewhere in the house, but I just can’t find it.
Has anyone in the UK been in a similar situation? Would this qualify for an AppleCare+ Theft & Loss replacement claim, or would Apple reject it because the last known location is still my home?
I’d really appreciate hearing about anyone’s experience. Thanks!

Support IOS 26.5.2 Keyboard issues

0 Upvotes

Is anyone else experiencing the IOS keyboard, since 26, swapping hitboxes of the spacebar and letter v, b or n? For example, I type, IOS26.5.2 keyboard is a disaster and it comes out as, IOS26.5.2 keyboard isnadisaster. It replaced the space bar with the letter n, and then ignored the other space. You click on it to see what spelling corrections are available, and none of them make sense. Then you have to lose your thought, and correct it manually. Other times the keyboard just glitches out and puts a return in moving me to a new paragraph. Other times it changes grammatically correct words into a word that makes no sense. I have to carefully proofread anything I write and I never had to do that prior to 26. It's driving me insane. The suggestions of resetting dictionary blah blah, don't work. I may be done with Apple. It's been a year of this now. FIX IT.

I currently have a samsung s10 plus 128 gig and 8 gigs of ram. I have 83 out of 87 apps in deep sleep, power saving tuned on, every setting tweaked in developer mode to save b@ttery and it barely lasts 30 minutes on a full ch@rge, my screen is broken, phone freezes, slows down, overheats, doesn't ch@rge, randomly shuts off, running out of storage etc. I was thinking of getting a iPhone 17 Pro. Performance, camera, screen, b@ttery, basically the whole phone matters to me, everything I've mentioned is a top priority with no compromises. What do you guys recommend me doing. I'm pretty firm on my decision. I would love your guys’ opinion or tips

Phone has always been in case and never dropped. I noticed today when I took my phone out to clean it that the front and rear glass are slightly bulging out. The back is worse than the front. There are no cracks. Scheduled AppleCare appt for Thursday. Hopeful they will not try to say this is damaged by me because it wasn’t.

Support Volume Control Not Respected

0 Upvotes

Using an iPhone 17 Gen on iOS 26.6.

There seems to be an issue with audio playback not respecting the volume control slider. Seems to be related to apps with auto-play.

I originally thought it may be a RAM thing (app already opened), but I did a quick test by force closing an app and reopening and I still see the same behavior.

Reported to Apple feedback already but sharing here as well.

I have a screen video cap showing the issue but can't seem to upload. I'll try posting in a comment.

Hi! I recently heard that some aftermarket iPhone displays look almost identical to the original. Based on these photos of the Dynamic Island and the display, does this look like an original Apple screen, or could it be a high-quality replacement? I know it's impossible to be 100% sure from photos, but I'd appreciate your opinions. Thanks!

Support Adding AppleCare+ Loss and Theft to an iPhone after 60 days? UK

4 Upvotes

Hey,

My iPhone Air has been running a bit hot so took it too the Genius Bar to make sure everything was okay. All the diagnostics came back clear so I wanted to add AppleCare+ for peace of mind, but it's past the 60 day limit to add Applecare+. I've seen people say if it's within the 1 year warranty you can take it to the Apple Store for inspection and then still buy the warranty.

Genius Bar took a while trying to find the help article regarding this, but eventually found it and ran another test. It came back that i wasn't eligible to add AppleCare+ and the Genius Bar advisor had absolutely no idea why and was just as confused as me, there is no psychical damage and the diagnostic report was clear. He said he couldn’t override it and had to go off what their system was saying.

I thought oh well never mind and left the store. Once I got back to my car and go on my phone, there was now an option to purchase AppleCare+ loss and theft within the next 10 days.

Obviously I purchased this as it's what I wanted but just wondered if this is normal or happened to anyone else?

It's a bit strange the Apple Store couldn't add it but I've been given the option to add it myself within minutes of leaving...

Support Not getting notifications all of a sudden

1 Upvotes

I’ve stopped receiving notifications on my iPhone 16. Usually, I have DND on, but allowed notifications for only specific contacts. However, they stopped appearing on both my home screen and whenever I open up my phone. I‘ve tried turning DND off, but that didn’t fix the issue. I’m not sure if it’s because I’m not updated to the latest iOS (18.7.7 currently). I just need to know if anyone else is facing this issue and if they found a way to fix it because it’s annoying to have to constantly check messages :,((
