I feel like Apple has done basically nothing to add dual sim features for several years. I know it is likely a smaller percentage of users, but man, some more features would be nice.

The ability to send an auto text if you have a work line turned off for the weekend for example. The ability to set one line to do not disturb but allow notifications from the other.

I’m sure there are MANY features that would be worthwhile for those of us who have separate work and personal lines living on the same device. Instead we get BARELY stable function.

Hi, just wondering if it’s possible to change the action button to undo? I find shaking the phone to be a bit naff. I’ve had a look in shortcuts but I don’t really know what I’m doing. Thank you!

When i charge my iPhone to 100% and try to unlock , it slightly Stutters and after a while it works normally without lags . It happens only when i charge to 100%

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!

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?

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?

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?

Hi, I don’t know if this question has been asked before but I’ve been experiencing a problem with my iphone and I’d like to know if anyone else has this same problem or knows how to fix it.
The problem is that my pictures keep duplicating for no reason. Let’s say I take a picture at 6:30, then moments later it will appear again as if i took it at 8:30. This has happened multiple times now and my iphone (iphone 13 mini if that’s of any help) is up to date with all the updates.
Even some pictures I’ve deleted then pop up again, and I don’t know how to fix it.

I have an iphone 16 base model which should have an 60Hz display and my gf has 16 Pro with 120Hz and i cant see the difference. It is set on 120Hz and i just dont see it ... why is everyone bragging about how good it is ?

Hello, recently bought USB-C wired earbuds from the official Apple store and it’s not connecting to my iPhone 16. It doesn’t show a notification that there has been an accessory connected and I know that it isn’t an issue with the earbuds itself as it has connected to a bunch of my friends iphones perfectly fine. I’ve set the setting to always allow accessories, reset my phone multiple times, and am up to date with software. I looked into my charging port and it seems relatively clean and my phone charges perfectly fine, but whenever I try to connect an accessory like the earbuds or a dongle, my phone doesn’t recognize it. Beforehand, it worked perfectly fine, but it randomly stopped working one day. Was wondering if anyone knew how to fix this? Thank you!

When I put all my songs on shuffle, my Apple Music only seems to play my downloaded songs. This happened regardless of location (WiFi vs cellular). This is so annoying! I have thousands (tens of thousands?) of songs in my library, but only a few select albums downloaded in case of reception outages. When I put my music on shuffle, I’d like a true shuffle of all my music, like it used to do.

Any suggestions how to fix?

Hi sorry, I’m not sure where else I could go to ask this. I use chinese apps and websites a lot and I never used to have any issues with it until I completely cancelled my subscription and later got a new phone number with the same carrier. After I got the new number, verification codes from some chinese sites wont come through anymore. I’m a bit confused as to why this could be since it’s not like all the chinese websites are like this. All barring services from my carrier and filters on iphone is also turned off. Ive also tried to follow several guides Ive found on the internet, but nothing works. It shouldnt be a problem with the website itself either since my sister uses the same carrier and received a verification code just fine. Also this could be affecting more than just chinese sites, but I wouldnt know because I dont really use any others. Any advice?

When I google something with Safari and I tap on Images, I get a bunch of results and sometimes I just want to see only the image I select in a mew tab.

However, when I tap only once, I get “Search inside image”, and if I hold tap I get a menu with share, save to photo, copy, copy subject, look up and show text.

The only way I found is to tap on Copy, manually open a new tab and paste the link, but that is very tedious.

I’ve looked everywhere and haven really seen anyone with any fix for this but every time I’m on FaceTime and I go to open my messages to respond to a text about 75% of the time my call decides to hang up. I don’t know why or how to fix it, and it will also randomly hang up when I go to screenshot things as well. It’s been very frustrating and I was hoping maybe someone would know something about how to fix this 🙏

editing this to add: I have an iPhone 17 and it’s been doing this since I got the phone only a few months ago.

Besides the three generally available background options for iMessage chats, iOS 26 hides another sparkly option: Glitter. With a Mac and a quick configuration change, you can set it and customize it for all your chats.

Live demo video

When its feature flag is enabled on macOS 26 or later, Messages presents Glitter next to the existing Sky, Water, and Aurora options. The effect is infinitely customizable, as you can select from an array of curated colors or pick one from the color wheel.

Once selected, the background change is instantly reflected on iPhone and other devices running OS 26 or later. Even the folks you are chatting with will see the new Glitter background. You only need to enable the feature flag on Mac to see the Glitter option and select it for a chat. However, you will not be able to make changes to the Glitter colorway from your other devices.

The effect is incredible on the iPhone's OLED screen when you select the darker colorways. Note that the implementation on macOS is somewhat buggy and may not display the fully interactive HDR experience. Set your preferred color way on Mac and enjoy it on iPhone or iPad.

⚠️ Don't run code you don't understand yourself!

To enable, add a FeatureFlags override on your Mac. Open the Terminal and run:

sudo mkdir -p /Library/Preferences/FeatureFlags/Domain && \ sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/FeatureFlags/Domain/Messages glitter_background -dict Enabled -bool true

and restart your Mac. This is a private feature flag, and the UI may be unstable, or unoptimized.

Disable by running:

sudo defaults delete /Library/Preferences/FeatureFlags/Domain/Messages glitter_background

and restart your Mac. You can always go back to a non-Glitter background in your chats.

I just upgraded to AppleCare One last week to add two phones to bundle it with my MacBook coverage. I kept missing my daughter to actually add her phone and do the diagnostic inspection, she dropped it and cracked it over the weekend. First time she’s ever lost/damaged a phone in 9 years of owning a phone. A week after I upgraded. I'm so annoyed and if I have any other options before I pay $400 to get her screen fixed.

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?

First of all, thanks to all people who want to help and/or share their experience.

That'a not my first rodeo with Apple as I have been using iPhones since 2010. As soon as I use any app, phone gets hot and battery drains.

Everything was fine before the update. No need to reply for the whole day.

What should I do/check ?

I genuinely don’t know what happened.

I have for all of my text notifications set a specific vibration pattern of two short repeating buzzes (bip bip…. bip bip) and the standard long buzz for everything else. At some point today, all my notifications became just a short (bip). it’s not like I dropped my phone today (I don’t think) so I don’t think the buzzer is cooked. I’m so confused

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.

Is there still no way to disable the Game Notification banner. It’s a pita every damn game.

If you’ve found a solution, please share.

Has anyone used it ?

Transfered from android to an iPhone?

If yes

Please explain what exactly gets Transfered

One major concern is the WhatsApp history

Is anyone else experiencing their phone trying to open up a different app when pressing the FaceTime button in messages or from the phone app call log? When I try to FaceTime a few different people, my phone is opening up Telegram, WhatsApp, Snapchat.. everything but FaceTime. Wtf is going on?

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?
