    Cache Cleaning iOS 12

    Posted: 20 Jan 2019 03:09 AM PST

    Is there an easy way to clean the cache of apps on ios? I don't want to uninstall/reintstall an app just for this purpose. The old "iTunes Store movie rent" trick doesn't work anymore afaik. Unfortunately not a lot of apps have an option to "clean cache" in their settings.

    Is there any Mac App or even App Store app that can trigger the automate "cleaning" function in iOS? Every method is welcomed.

    Thanks from an iphone 32 GB user!

    Find owner of AirPods

    Posted: 20 Jan 2019 05:39 AM PST

    On her walk with the dog today, my wife found a pair of AirPods in their case. We found that one can do a Find My Phone on one's APs if they are out of the case. We are leaving them out of the case to listen to whether they beep or not, indicating that someone is looking for them. Wonder if we did a Support Chat with Apple and gave them the serial number of the APs, whether Apple would tell us who they belong to or, if they can determine the owners, if we could give Apple our telephone number to give to the person who lost them. Any ideas?

    Changing audio playing speed

    Posted: 20 Jan 2019 07:43 AM PST

    Is there any way to speed up audio that I'm listening to? I want to add audio lectures to my iPod's music library and it would be great if I could play them at x1.25 or x1.5 speed!

    Posted: 20 Jan 2019 07:38 AM PST

    Anyone using this app for notes and stuff?

    Noted: Notepad, Audio Recorder de: Digital Workroom Ltd https://itunes.apple.com/pt/app/noted-notepad-audio-recorder/id1149425482?mt=8

    Been trying it's of notes app and found this one and would like to know the opinion of someone using it...

    Tried bear but don't really like it. Too much stuff and for some reason (despite being a really good app) I can't connect and like using it.

    Tried agenda and it is really good and one of the ones I like most but it's lacking some features (most will be added in the future and by the. I'll stick to it... but for now lacks some features)

    Noted has everything but the app doesn't seem to be so well known.

    Anyone with some usage of the app can't tell me their opinion or something like that?

    Is there an actual possibility to transfer WhatsApp Chats from Android to iOS?

    Posted: 20 Jan 2019 05:51 AM PST

    Hey guys,

    I'm switching from Sony F3311 with Android 6.0 to an iPhone 7 with iOS 12.1.12. I've stored a lot of useful links in my WhatsApp chats, so I'd really like to have all the conversations on my iPhone too. I've googled and tried out a lot of guides, but all of them are either fake, outdated or require some software you gotta pay for.

    What I've found out:- on Android the backup is stored on Google Drive. Also, there is a file in your WhatsApp directory, that you can simply access by plugging the phone into the computer.

    - on iOS the backup is stored in iCloud. When installing WhatsApp, it checks if there are some backups that can be restored. However, it only looks at iCloud and not at Google Drive.

    So is there an actual solution to this problem? I wish I could just copy the backup files into the iCloud or onto the iPhone but it seems like Apple really likes to make stuff unnecessary complicated. So I guess you really need a software to work around this whole problem. Is there some free tool that can copy all the messages? The tools I've found either require instand payment or only let you copy 20 messages or so.

    Safari blocking trackers

    Posted: 20 Jan 2019 04:14 AM PST

    So as far as I know, Safari on iOS 12 should block trackers, right? So that would mean that if I search for something on google and go on a website, I should not see that product as an ad when I go on facebook, right? This morning I searched for a particular type of tea and opened the website of an online store that sold it (I hadn't visited that site before). Sure enough, an hour later I went on Facebook (website, not the app) and I got an ad for that particular tea, on that particular site. It all happened on my phone, running iOS 12 and having Prevent cross site tracking and ask websites not to track me turned on.

    Bluetooth question

    Posted: 20 Jan 2019 12:25 AM PST

    Hi,

    I currently use android and am considering switching to IOS, as I have found it does most everything I need it to while being free of bloatware and more secure, faster OS updates, etc. Anyhow, I drive a lot. A LOT. 50-100k miles per year. My biggest fear is that hands free siri will suck, and that I'll have issues with bluetooth headsets. Does IOS allow multiple bluetooth audio connections at the same time? On my samsung, I can choose to use a bluetooth device for "calls only" or "media only" or both. This allows me to use a bluetooth headset for making and receiving calls, while also being connected to a stereo. No, it does not play audio through both, it pauses streaming audio (to the car stereo) when you take a call on the headset, and resumes after you finish your call. Does anyone know if IOS works like this too? It's basically the thing I need it to do the most. As I mentioned, I'm driving, so no, I can't just press the speaker button on the phone and switch to the device. I wish it wasn't the case, but after reading around it seems like siri sucks, and bluetooth doesn't let you do this scenario I have mentioned. The phones are awesome though so I'm a little sad I may have to go with a new android device.

    Thanks.

    edit: the siri sucking isn't really a dealbreaker, i know she's good enough to make calls and send some texts, it's more the bluetooth stuff i'm scurred of.

    tldr: Is there ANY POSSIBLE way to make a bluetooth device "CALLS ONLY."

    Future reminders appearing?

    Posted: 19 Jan 2019 11:10 AM PST

    I recently upgraded my iPhone 6s for an iPhone 8. Since I got the 8, I have noticed that a few times a week, future reminders will pop up. They show the accurate date and time on them, but they appear on my screen at an earlier day and time. For example right now I have a reminder that supposed to go off on 2/1 and 4pm, sitting on my lock screen as if it is a due reminder. On the reminder it actually says the correct date and time. I notice that they typically pop up when I have a real due reminder also popping up. I just ignore them until the correct date and time, but its pretty weird and annoying. I never had this problem and I have been using different iPhones for many years. Anyone ever have this happen? Is there a fix for it?

    Should I buy an iPhone XR now or wait until September?

    Posted: 20 Jan 2019 01:59 AM PST

    Hi, so I'm thinking of getting an iPhone XR because my phone has gone wrong. The only problem is that I feel like it's going to be a bit like the 5c and outdate fast. I'm not sure whether to buy a cheap iPhone for now and then get the XR2 in September which will hopefully have a dual camera and better quality screen. What would you do?

    Bring back IOS 6 theme for IOS 13 but make it translucent. Like make it a mixer of Old and New. Also bring back the IOS 9 music app, bring back IOS 6 notes app, bring back the old folder bookself..Bring back the Live Widgets, bring back when Siri would load at the bottom instead of whole Screen.

    Posted: 20 Jan 2019 02:18 AM PST

    Dark Mode Always on display Haptic touch when typing ( optional) Better voice detection Bring back the old Siri pop-ups that had depth to it. Not this flat stuff Better Hud And more stability

    Why is there no simple, decent Quotes app anymore?

    Posted: 19 Jan 2019 03:12 PM PST

    I love to collect quotes that I find during the course of my reading through RSS, books, etc. Currently, I store them in a text file on my dropbox, but I would love to be able to carry them on my iPhone in easily searchable format.

    Quotebook used to be this, but I waited too long and they pulled it from the app store. For those who have never seen quotebook: http://www.jaredsinclair.com/img/quote-book-shots.png

    Is there any app that fills these requirements?:

    1. Under $3 (ideally free for me to try it and then unlock for $1-$3)
    2. Simple. All I want to do is enter my quotes. I don't need or want pre-existing quotes.
    3. Basic interface. I want to be able to easily search them by word or author.
    4. I want to be able to search them through iOS spotlight.

    I know I am asking a 'lot' but it just seems crazy there's no app to replace Quotebook. It used to be the top quotes app, but no one has replaced it. I've tried many (free) apps on the appstore and looked at other paid quotes app.

    The closest I could find is Quotes Folder, but it's interface is awful. I just want a simple app to easily enter, edit, and search through my quotes :(

    Screen Time won't ask for a passcode to bypass time limits! Help

    Posted: 19 Jan 2019 12:02 PM PST

    Even though I have set a Passcode for Screen Time and restrictions, my iPhone won't ask for it once I reach the time limit of any app.

    Also, any way to always allow Safari websites during Downtime? It's so annoying that I can open the app but websites get locked anyhow

    Need help factory restoring an iphone 6 and don't know apple id (Android user)

    Posted: 19 Jan 2019 03:50 PM PST

    So first off I'll say that I'm a die hard android user and really REALLY dislike apple anything (No hard feelings to the people who like apple though) and I'm having a hard time factory resetting my Dads iphone 6. He forgot his apple id, password AND email! it was a company phone that was given to him before they were eventually were bought out by a larger company. I'm trying to reset it for him because he wants to have a backup just in case something happens to his iphone 8. He isn't real techy but I am (absolutely not on apple though) and I told him I'd give it a try. Tried imyfone, restore mode and anything I can think of. No dice because he left find my phone on and that doesn't get rid of the apple id when you factory restore it. Any help would be greatly appreciated from this android fanboy

    Wallet issues

    Posted: 19 Jan 2019 03:23 PM PST

    I had to completely reinstall my iPhone 7 & I set it up as new because I didn't have a backup. I don't mind reinstalling because then I can finally clean up the amount of apps.

    But apparently my Wallet app is acting up now. I went to a movie today & I added the movieticket to my Wallet. It used to show up an hour before the movie starts but now it doesn't anymore. So I did another full wipe & tried adding the ticket again but it still doesn't show up on my lockscreen & all my settings are correct. The vendor supports this because it worked the week before.

    So I created some passes of my own on passslot.com to test what is working & what is not:

    • Boarding pass based on time of departure = shows on lockscreen
    • Boarding pass based on location = shows on lockscreen when I'm nearby
    • Event Ticket based on location = shows on lockscreen when I'm nearby
    • Event Ticket based on time = doesn't show on lockscreen

    So what's not working anymore is an Event Ticket based on the time of the event. This still worked last week before I reinstalled my phone & now it doesn't work anymore even after 3 full wipes. I tried a wipe without logging in to iCloud afterwards so it wouldn't sync my Wallet & I tried a wipe with logging in to iCloud afterwards but none of these work.

    I know this sounds trivial but I liked having these on my lockscreen because it's also a quick reminder to not forget an event is coming up. This was never an issue in iOS 11.

    Is anyone else having this issue?
