    I have tried many times to disable mobile data for some apps but when I leave the settings app, the data enables for those apps again. It only has been happening since I changed mobile company. Any solution?

    Posted: 21 May 2021 07:41 AM PDT

    Hi all.

    Many thanks

    Alternative solution to import text message on ios

    Posted: 21 May 2021 07:24 AM PDT

    Hi everyone,

    I have intialized my new iphone and have used "Move to IOS" to import my text messages on my previous Android Phone. Unfortunately I just notice today that the timestamps of the imported text messages are completely wrong... Unfortunately I have received and send many text messages since the initialization. So now I can reinitialize my iphone and try again the importation. Do you know alternative solution to import and merge text messages from android in the iPhone without any reinitilization?

    Thank you in advance

    Transferring Voicemail

    Posted: 21 May 2021 06:23 AM PDT

    My grandfather is getting his first iPhone today (what a disaster), it's a 12PM and he's coming from a flip phone. He wants to keep his voicemail greeting as the same one on his flip phone. Is there a way I can transfer his voicemail greeting?

    Audio Message Needs Update

    Posted: 21 May 2021 09:15 AM PDT

    Audio Message Wishlist

    Problem

    I would love to see an update in the message app that allows you to post audio messages without holding down the on screen interface button (https://i.imgur.com/wIp8D4v.jpg) but instead use a hardware button (power or volume buttons) or a combinaton of it to record your messages.

    Using the software button is very awkward and uncomfortable to press and hold while holding the phone one handed. Especially if you have a large phone or large hand.

    To take it a step further, I would like to be able to send an audio message to a contact without even opening the message app.

    Ideas

    • [in app] Double click and hold the power button to record. Release the button to end recording.
    • [locked screen, home screen or text notification] Double click and hold the power button to record. Release the button to end recording.
    • Maybe if you hit the volume up or down buttons or a combination of the two you could select between 2-6 of your favorites while in the record/send mode.

    Bonus

    Add the walkie feature from the Apple Watch to the phone. Using the same button combinations, have it so you can choose in settings to send audio messages in realtime or prerecorded.

    Any other ideas?

    Ah....are episode/show notes essentially GONE in Podcasts in 14.5+?

    Posted: 21 May 2021 05:12 AM PDT

    Hey all,

    Are episode notes completely broken? They simply do not exist or are super broken. Why is this hard to code? This is an almost 2 trillion dollar company! WTF

    Okay, in the Phone app, how do I select or delete an specific digit?

    Posted: 20 May 2021 12:53 PM PDT

    Let's say I typed in "1234556789" but oh no, I typed 5 twice. How do I delete that specific digit without erasing the whole number?

    Because I swear to god I've been struggling with this since I started using iPhones and I just need to know if it's possible or if the Phone app just can't fulfill a very basic need. Thanks beforehand.
     

    Edit: u/PregnantHatpin seems to have figured it out. Instead of holding the spacebar to use the cursor like you do when typing text, just press and hold any number and the cursor will show up.

    Wait, I tried here and it worked. Even on the phone app without a spacebar. Just holding anywhere on the number makes the cursor appear.

    However, it doesn't seem to be working on iOS 14.5.1 (at least for me on an iPhone X), which seems to be a bug. Let's hope they fix it for the next release.

    How can I copy a 1 hour video from iPhone to external source?

    Posted: 21 May 2021 02:45 AM PDT

    I have a large 1 hour video file on my iPhone 8 and I cannot figure out how to send it to an email address (to make a copy).

    It won't upload to the cloud using wireless or data. I cannot use "mail drop" as the video never loads completely. I cannot use Dropbox since the video won't upload to it. All three of these examples work well with smaller videos.

    Is there a system by which I can copy the video from the phone? I would prefer not to install some random third-party app.

    Many thanks.

    I’m still getting targeted ads on Facebook despite turning taking off.

    I googled smokeless fire pit and now I'm getting all sorts of Facebook ads. I though 14.5 was supposed to stop this.

    Easy privacy and security: iOS

    Posted: 20 May 2021 12:13 PM PDT

    iOS is an amazing platform for people needing security and privacy and I hope to help make it a bit more easily attainable.

    Mild

    • Go into Settings, Apple ID, Password & Security and turn on 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication). Generate a recovery key, store safely.
    • Encrypt your DNS, I'd recommend downloading the Adguard DNS Profile for no app or configuration, will block ads on your device. Check that the profile is signed before confirming installation.
    • Get a dedicated adblock for Safari or use Firefox with strict tracking protection. I'd recommend getting Adguard.
    • If you're using an authenticator app make sure it's trustworthy. Google's and Authy's are okay but the best on Apple devices is OTP Auth giving you a better design, encrypted sync and backup, and a safari extension.
    • Delete all unnecessary apps and be wary of purchases and privacy labels when looking through the AppStore.
    • In privacy turn off tracking, analytics, and personalized Apple ads, and double check your permissions -remove all questionable to you.
    • Set notifications to only preview when unlocked. Turn off all unnecessary.
    • Set a password with 6 digit being the minimum, turn off USB Accessories, and turn on 10 fail erase. Recommended you use an alphanumeric password with everything disabled on the Lock Screen.
    • Use Apollo for Reddit and Ivory for YouTube

    Moderate

    • Back in Apple ID manage what data backs up to iCloud and turn off everything you don't want to share. Messages and iCloud backup compromise iMessage security.
    • Use a password manager. I suggest you stick to Bitwarden but Strongbox (a keepass client) is my personal favorite.
    • Use a VPN and a better email service. I recommend ProtonMail and ProtonVPN. This will also let you save your contacts if you decided against iCloud contacts. Set VPN to IKEv2 to use Adguard configuration below.
    • Use DuckDuckGo and block their logo with Adguard's Safari extension :)
    • Look into getting HTTPS Now to block insecure web connections. His Safari dark mode app is also nice.
    • Use Cryptomator to backup and store cloud data.
    • Use Standard Notes for notes.
    • Use onion browser for secret things and avoiding censorship. Do not sign in to any personal accounts.
    • SimpleLogin (best used with ProtonMail) gives you fake emails.

    Adguard pro configuration

    • Turn on all the recommended lists aside from regional, that'll be for your needs.
    • Turn on fanboys annoyances and adblock warning list.
    • Turn on advanced mode in general then head to DNS. Use Quad9 DNSCrypt. Turn on dns filtering and use Adguard DNS Filler, OISD, and optionally Energized Extreme.

    I left out a lot of specificity in this guide to keep it general for a broad population. For a more complete guide watch this. For further privacy and security visit r/privacytoolsio and their website.

    Sharing a couple of ios tips!

    Posted: 20 May 2021 08:29 PM PDT

    I come from Android world so used to doing things a bit different. I am used to playing YouTube Vanced and copying multiple clipboard etc.

    1.) keyboard. SwiftKey. This is the best keyboard I have found. Once in keyboard, press the '+' icon in top of suggestion bar and click on clipboard icon. Here you can save your most used pasted items-good for someone running a business that has to type the same thing over and over.
    2.) opera browser. Go to YouTube.com. Play a video. Click full screen. Swipe up or home button. Voila. Picture in picture video with audio! Alternative is use safari. Go to YouTube.com. Play video. Full screen. Exit. (Video will stop) press the lock button. There will now be controls on lock screen. Click play. And go to home screen as usual now. Boom, audio in background.
    3.) I hate the ios cursor. Press and hold the space bar key and it becomes a navigation arrow works on default keyboard or SwiftKey.

    I don't like that on dialer, I can't type the names of people saved to find em. For example, I have Johns number saved as 123-456-7890. I can type 5646 in dialer and a suggestion for John would show up even though his number is different.

    Issues with Push Notifications on IOS 14.5.1

    Posted: 20 May 2021 09:22 PM PDT

    Since I've updated to 14.5.1, I have missed important messages and notification and I'm not sure why, everything was fine on IOS 14.5 and also my battery drains faster and iPhone overheats a lot as as I using it and when charging it.

    I'm using an iPhone 7

    edit: I have a feeling this all started happening disabling app tracking..In WhatsApp case, I was forced to accept their privacy policy as they mentioned limited notifications so that's a bummer.

    Phone dials any OTHER number besides their cell when I go from a text....

    Posted: 20 May 2021 01:44 PM PDT

    This began happening a few updates ago.

    I used to be able to start from a text conversation, touch the contact on that conversation screen, then "info", then "call" and it would call the cell that they were texting from.

    Now, it will dial their land line, work number, etc. How do I get it to do what it used to do?

    Smart data mode (aka 5G Auto)

    Posted: 20 May 2021 08:40 PM PDT

    When I have 5G auto enabled, will the phone prioritize LTE when 5G is slower than LTE? Or does it see that LTE is at full throughout and switch to 5G? In other words, is it smart enough to use the fastest connection? Or does it use 5G even when LTE is faster?

    Legal problem, need help proving app was not used

    Posted: 20 May 2021 10:15 PM PDT

    Is there any way to prove that a certain app was uninstalled and not re-installed on the iPhone? Or for example, last installation / download date? I looked at my iCloud and can't see such a thing. If I hire a lawyer, would I be able to ask Apple to provide me that information? Any tips on how I should approach would be greatly appreciated!

    Native iOS Reminder app is really glitchy, anyone else having this issue? Anyone have a fix or a better app? [iOS v. 14.4.2]

    Posted: 20 May 2021 03:32 PM PDT

    There are so many issues I'm having that I used to never have with the native Reminders app on my iPhone XR and it's gotten to the point where it's gotten frustrating. These issues have been building up over time, I'd say about 6 months, so I'm not entirely sure which issue I had first but here's the glitches/issues I encounter on a daily basis with it:

    • Reminders that I set in the future will pop up on my locked notifications screen at random. Not any specific reminders causing this, just 1 or 2 happen to pop up while the others are fine and stay hidden until it's time to remind me of them.
    • When in the Reminders app to check off what I've finished, I will check off a reminder and it'll go all the way back to the top of the app. Happens completely at random.
    • Reminders that have been completely stay persistent on the locked notification screen despite not being in the app. Restarting iPhone doesn't remedy this so I have to clear all, which isn't a good solution for me because I have 50+ reminders and don't want to clear one that I need to be reminded about, so it takes a while.
    • App will randomly freeze when I go into app from locked screen swipe.
    • Some reminders just don't pop up at all on the locked screen so I miss them unless I go directly into the app despite me making all Reminders app notifications persistent on the locked screen.
    • edit: My biggest issue is when I check off a reminder that is done, I'll open the app up later and see that it was never checked off, only to check it off again. Sometimes have to check off a reminder as being complete 3 times total just to get it to actually be marked as completed and removed or moved to the next repeat date. This is by far the most annoying issue with it so I can't believe I left this out in the original post lol.

    That's all I can think of off the top of my head. The issues with the app started 6 or so months ago and have progressively gotten worse with each update.

    If anyone has a fix, please share because it's driving me mad.

    If there is no fix, does anyone have an alternative that I can still use Siri for? I set all my reminders with Siri like "Hey Siri, remind me to do x at y time on z day." Is this even possible to do with a non-native app?

    Thanks for the help in advance, truly appreciate any help, really.

    Posted: 20 May 2021 08:00 PM PDT

    Since a couple of app updates to the date, I can't see any profile pictures of anybody on my TL. They just appear as like blank space. In the rest of the app, the profile pictures appear normally.

    The “reduce loud sounds” feature is confusing?

    Posted: 20 May 2021 07:58 PM PDT

    What direction does the slider work, is it that it reduces everything above the selected volume or that it reduces everything below and including the one selected. In my head it seems logical that if I select the lowest volume to be reduced then I would want everything LOUDER than that to also be reduced but I really can't tell if that's how it works, and I can't find anything online that's useful that actually tells me what each notch on the slider does. It's just not intuitive please help.

    Inconsistent UI

    Posted: 21 May 2021 02:55 AM PDT

    Hi guys,

    A long term android user here. Am planning to move to an iPhone with the launch of 13 - mainly because of privacy reasons and the hard time Apple is giving to companies like Facebook.

    My wife has an iPhone 11 and I borrowed her phone for a few days to experience iOS. I kind of liked it just ok enough to survive it. However, my major gripe is the inconsistent UI even in the own apps of iOS.

    For example: Mail app and photos app.

    1. Photos app: If I open a photo, the delete button is a BIN showing in the bottom RIGHT corner. When I delete a photo and go to the recycle bin's grid view and select the photo, the delete button shows as TEXT in the bottom LEFT corner!

    2. Mail app: in the normal view, the EDIT button shows up on the TOP RIGHT corner. But, on searching for a mail, the EDIT button shows up on the BOTTOM RIGHT corner!

    For people like me who rely on muscle memory, it just doesn't make sense.

    Another inconsistent thing that I find is:

    1. Mail app: Again, on selecting the emails in a particular folder and selecting ALL of them by swiping across, shows the total number of emails selected. But, on selecting ALL emails, with the SELECT ALL button DOES NOT SHOW the total number of emails selected! I really fail to understand why.

    Is there a particular reason why you think the much experienced Apple UI/UX designers must have kept it like that? Or is it genuinely a bad experience?

    This is when we are talking about apple's own apps. I find inconsistency in the back button in apps from other developers too. But that is a rant for another day.

    Revert from 14.7 beta

    Posted: 20 May 2021 08:29 PM PDT

    How do I revert back from 14.7.

    Now I don't have a backup, so that isn't an option.

    Do I have to wait for 14.6 to be officially released? I remember having to do this before but can't recall for certain.
