    Apple iOS Tip : how to save on icloud storage using free, open source software


    Tip : how to save on icloud storage using free, open source software

    Posted: 10 Apr 2021 06:41 AM PDT

    I discovered that there is a free, open source software that allow you to download all your icloud photos, live photos and movies onto your computer (windows/mac/linux) or on a NAS (docker) in one shot. This is on https://github.com/icloud-photos-downloader/icloud_photos_downloader

    This is a good thing because:

    - icloud is a sync tool, not a backup, so this software allows you to do a proper backup.

    - you can delete then your photos from icloud, to save on storage and avoid having to puchase a larger subscription (my case, I used docker on synology).

    - you can also send the photos somewhere else in a different cloud afterwards if you want so (dropbox, google photos, backblaze etc.)

    iMessage glitch

    Posted: 10 Apr 2021 05:07 AM PDT

    Fairly occasionally when sending messages it will stop showing anything change, like new messages or messages sent being delivered, until closing and reopening the app. It's been happening to my best friend and my girlfriend both having multiple phones recently and now has just happened to me. Anyone else have this? Is there a fix, or is it just an iOS 14 thing?

    Calls from blocked caller still going through

    Posted: 10 Apr 2021 03:57 AM PDT

    I have tried blocking 2 numbers (people trying to sell me things) in the past few days and after blocking both the calls still ring on my phone. It used to be that when a caller is blocked, nothing shows up anymore and they landed directly on voicemail. What changed?

    I'm using the latest iOS version.

    why doesn’t portrait orientation mode work on both sides

    Posted: 10 Apr 2021 01:43 AM PDT

    i like to lock the orientation mode by default but when im watching youtube i move to full screen by pressing icon in youtube app,

    but ios only allows the full screen view from left side but when i turn phone other way the orientation doesn't change as it is locked.

    i have to unlock to view full screen mode from right side. its very tedious job.

    my old android 6 was working both way.

    i wish ios does give attention to this type of small changes, and other one being its keyboard.

    Browser app with address bar at the bottom?

    Posted: 09 Apr 2021 11:57 PM PDT

    Just moved back from Android and was wondering if there's a browser similar to Firefox nightly which has the address bar at the bottom of the screen?

    Is there a way to change the behavior of touching a missed call notification?

    Posted: 09 Apr 2021 07:59 AM PDT

    I get a lot of spam calls, and out of habit, I touch the missed call notification from my notification screen expecting to see more info, but instead it calls the number. I'm afraid I've made my problems worse by now calling these numbers back.

    I use iOS and Android daily, and on Android touching a missed call notification opens up the phone app to show the time, number of times they called, etc. Jumping between both phones leads me to make this mistake often. But it seems it shouldn't be so easy to call someone back through a single touch. I can't find anything in the settings to change this. Am I missing something?

    Edit: I'm convinced there's no way of changing the settings. Also, I'm aware of swiping behaviors. I've submitted this as a feature request to Apple so that tapping a missed call notification opens the phone app (or has this an an option in settings) rather than call the number back. If others would like to see this too, I encourage you to make an official request here. It literally took me less than 1 minute to submit.

    iPhone Next Backup Size Bigger Than Total Of All Apps Being Backed Up

    Posted: 10 Apr 2021 07:44 AM PDT

    iPhone Next Backup Size Bigger Than Total Of All Apps Being Backed Up

    A while back, my iPhone stopped backing up to iCloud as I was running out of space. When I went into the backups section of the app to see how much data my next backup will take up, I saw this...

    https://preview.redd.it/kngc5xidxcs61.png?width=1242&format=png&auto=webp&s=621f33ec413c4bfcfb16b119cea1079fae2a1250

    ... The "Next Backup Size" is showing as 8.52GB.

    The sum of each individual app's backup size is much less than the next backup size that is being shown. The apps are listed in descending order of backup size, the total backup size that I counted is around 300MB.

    I tried looking online only to find a lot of people having a similar issue to me, the most common solutions were disabling iCloud photos and remove files stored locally on the iPhone through the files app.

    My photos are not being backed up to iCloud, and I've tried removing everything stored on my iPhone and even tried uninstalling the Files app completely. Nothing is fixing my problem. With none of the solutions working for me, I have come here.

    I am thinking of purchasing the 50GB iCloud subscription, although I'd like to fix or at least know what's causing my backup sizes to be oddly large before purchasing it.

    What do you think is causing this issue and how do I go about fixing this?

    unable to change apple id security questions

    Posted: 10 Apr 2021 07:31 AM PDT

    I've tried most of the methods online, supposedly on your iphone at the password and security page there should be a "change security question" option below the "change password" option but threre is only a "change password" option no "change security question" option. Supposedly on apple website when you enter your apple id and password they will ask for your security questions and password and you should be able to reset the questions there. In my case after entering the apple id the page asks me for my phone number and after i enter that it asks me to verify the phone number then jumps to the settings page the "change password" page and immediately asks me to change apple id password no reset security questions. I really need to talk to a human i somehow cannot find the place on apple website where you can text customer support

    Photos constantly vanishing and restoring, pink screen glitches

    Posted: 10 Apr 2021 12:53 AM PDT

    I have an iPhone Xs with 512gb of space, 120gb of which are actually being used. For some reason lately my apps have been crashing/freezing, my phone will randomly restart and get stuck on the Apple screen, causing me to volume up down hold power to force restart. Every single one of my 10,000 photos will vanish and then restore which causes massive crashing and performance issues in my other apps as well as make my phone really hot. The biggest issue is once they're all done restoring, they vanish again and start all over! I've turned off iCloud, backups and kept it on airplane mode but it seems like the photos are restoring from my phone's memory vs. iCloud. As of recently I have had 2 episodes where the screen flashed pink glitchy pixels and completely bugged out. This issue is causing me a lot of stress and i'm wondering if anyone has had similar issues...

    Auto-update of apps

    Posted: 10 Apr 2021 06:49 AM PDT

    Anyone else have issues pop up on frequently used apps that have typically been updated automatically and without issue? I've had to delete and re-download three so far. Is it something I'm doing or something I'm just ignorant about?

    Is anyone else’s mail app just...terrible?

    Posted: 09 Apr 2021 07:55 PM PDT

    Don't know if this is the sub for this, but I've searched high and low on google to see if anyone else has this issue and it seems like literally nobody else does.

    The mail app that comes on every iPhone has been absolute trash for me, and I have no idea why. It started happening maybe a year and a half ago? 2 years ago? I have a couple of gmail accounts connected to it. That's it.

    Specifically, if I get a little red "1" notification telling me I have mail, I'll go to the app, read it/mark it as read, and leave the app. The app STILL shows the red "1" notification. I'll go back in- no unread emails. I'll try to refresh the app by swiping down- still no unread emails. It'll be stuck on "Checking for mail..." for a solid 2 minutes at minimum, until it eventually says "Updated just now" and finally the red notification number will disappear. If I don't go through the process of keeping the app open for multiple minutes while it checks for mail that isn't even there, the red notification on the app itself will stay there forever despite all of my emails being marked as read.

    Similarly, and this could just be some fancy way junk mail works now, but 90% of the junk mail that makes it into my inbox won't let me move it into the junk mail folder. I'll select it, hit "Move", and will be able to move it into the trash/multiple other folders- but the junk mail folder will be grayed out.

    Is it just me? It's been ages, so I've tried it all (deleting/reinstalling, deleting all of my emails from all folders, disconnecting and reconnecting email accounts, always keeping my phone updated...I even got a new phone when my old one died on me, and it still happens on this one.)

    Thoughts?

    Is the “Screen On” time since “last fully charged”? Or does it encompass all the green area under “Battery Level” including usage before charging?

    HomePod volume limit?

    Posted: 10 Apr 2021 01:18 AM PDT

    So my mom doesn't understand that sound travels and when she has HomePod even at 70% it's so clearly audible outside the house. She's one of those people that puts music on max, and I mean max, volume in the car.

    So anyway is there a way I can make it so that HomePod isn't able to go past 60% or something? I feel like I've seen it before on iPhone itself but can't find the setting for HomePod

    Is it possible to hide senders name when getting a notification on WhatsApp?

    Posted: 10 Apr 2021 04:34 AM PDT

    So when I get a notification on instagram it just says "instagram: 1 notification" and i can see who sent it when i look at my phone and it unlocks. But on whatsapp it always says the senders name and then 1 notification. Is there any way to hide the name until the phone is unlocked?

    I wish iMessage and Text Messages were separate apps

    Posted: 10 Apr 2021 12:31 AM PDT

    I hate all the sms spam I get, 2FA notification, post office, missed calls. I constantly have to search for the handful contacts I chat to on iMessage. Yes I could pin them, but that is not optimal for me. Oh well

    3rd Party Widgets don't backup?

    Posted: 10 Apr 2021 12:26 AM PDT

    So, first, I did a direct transfer from iPhone 11 to 12.

    The 3rd Party widgets wouldn't show up.

    I tried a full encrypted backup and restore.

    Same thing.

    It seems that just like how some apps wouldn't allow certain data to be backed up, widgets fall into that same category?

    Problems with constraints

    Hi so I'm fairly new to iOS development and I was trying to make a Collection View for myself.
    When I give constraints to the elements in my custom cell, they look great, as you can see in Screenshot 1.

    Screenshot 1

    However as soon as I start to run the program, in the simulator, this is what I see (screenshot 2)
    The label is wayyy off. It went up so much!!!!?
    Why is this happening. Please help. This is the best way i can explain.

    So out of nowhere my phone started acting up. First it started with my service disappearing & it keeps saying searching. Then trying to load some apps like settings, Instagram, & eBay don't work at all, & trying to swipe up my control center freezes my phone completely for a few seconds, & the cellular icon is completely grayed out in settings & in the control center? Is anyone else having this problem?

    Does anyone still manage their iOS photos via manual sync?

    Posted: 09 Apr 2021 07:03 PM PDT

    Or does it just no longer make sense? I seemed to be one of the last ones who synced via cable/computer. I've turned on iCloud photo sync, due to the fact that the last MacOS (Catalina) never actually allowed me to sync manually, so felt forced. I value my photo library pretty highly, due to lost family members, my kids, etc. Do you trust the cloud sync entirely (assuming you keep originals on each device you sync to)? Do you still manually manage your sync? Just curious what the Apple community favors and why.
