    iOS 15 FINALLY supports Xbox Controller Series S 1914

    Posted: 26 Jul 2021 01:13 AM PDT

    The 1914 variant (the latest one, with Share button and USB-C) is finally fully supported in iOS 15. In 14.x, only the older variants were supported. I'm now installing Monterey beta to see if it's supported there as well, because as of Big Sur 11.5, it hasn't.

    EDIT: I'm now trying it out in Monterey PB3 and so far it works in everything, Steam Link included. So it looks this controller is FINALLY supported.

    Facebook showing up while I was asleep on screen time, but I don't have Facebook installed?

    Posted: 25 Jul 2021 08:04 AM PDT

    I knew the iPhone didn’t have the best wifi antennas but I didn’t think it would be this bad. This is iPhone XR and iPad Air 2020 side by side. Are others experiencing such drastic differences or shortcomings with their iPhones XR or is my phone messed up?

    Can’t maintain max brightness.

    Posted: 26 Jul 2021 08:36 AM PDT

    I have set auto brightness off. I push brightness to max but stays at about 50%. If I restart iPhone, it stays on max brightness for several minutes and then goes darker. The meter actually shows it at Maximum but clearly it's about half.

    iPhone 12 Pro Max 14.7.

    Snapchat-like “Text On Photo” Editing - feature request

    Posted: 26 Jul 2021 05:37 AM PDT

    Snapchat-like

    hey guys,

    i just posted this feature request on Apple's feedback site, and i thought that maybe if more people requested it, we could see it in iOS 16. if any of you find it helpful like i do, be sure to submit a request, and maybe this thing will somehow get to management.

    Do you use Apple or Google services?

    Posted: 25 Jul 2021 12:44 PM PDT

    Hey guys!

    I wanted to know which apps / services you use on your iPhone. Below are some example of what I mean:

    • Notes + Reminders vs Google Keep
    • Apple Mail vs Gmail
    • iCloud Drive vs Google Drive
    • iWork vs Google Docs
    • Apple Music vs YouTube Music

    Depending on which you use, why do you you use that vs the competition (excluding privacy)?

    Can’t drag and drop .mov to windows. 12pro max.

    Posted: 26 Jul 2021 12:46 AM PDT

    I can plug in with USB and drag and drop photos. I can't do any .MOV files, I just get errors. Have changed cables. Using official Apple cable. Any workarounds? I can upload a 7gig mov to Dropbox but then I'll have to redownload it on my PC. It's absurd.

    Only ONE iPAD is showing the "Low Data Mode" flag on it's tethered connection

    Posted: 25 Jul 2021 11:23 PM PDT

    I know the rules of the sub is "No speed issues" which I understand why. However this is is technically more of a setting issue than a speed issue but if mods deem it against the rules after reading the meat of the post then I understand.

    My issue is as the title sounds but I'll go into more detail. I have a 3rd gen iPAD Pro 12.9 running iOS 14.7 that shows the "Low Data Mode" flag on underneath it's tethered connection being provided from from my iPhone 12 ProMax running 14.7. I also have an iPAD Air on iOS 12.5.4(it's max supported) and have also checked using my old iPhone Xs Max (now handed down to Pops) and neither label the connection as low data mode and operate normally when tethered. I'm not sure using the Air as an example is relevant however because when actually enabling/disabling "Low Data Mode" on the ProMax (settings->Cellular->Cellular Data Options) the Air never actually displays the message no matter the setting where as the older Xs Max does update it's connection label accordingly. So I'm thinking this is just a limitation of it being restricted to iOS 12.

    The reason I'm posting here is I've exhausted all troubleshooting steps with the last one being driving the 70miles to my nearest Apple store. As for that troubleshooting history I've done Reset Network, Reset Network and Reset Location&Privacy on both Phone and iPAD 12.9. I've called AT&T as well as visited an AT&T store, both confirmed that there is nothing on my account or part of my data plan that would be enabling Low Data Mode period, much less only on one device and after contacting Apple support while in the AT&T store, according to Apple the problem I am describing is not possible and it had to be something we were doing on our end.

    So just to be clear. I can enable and disable Low Data Mode on the ProMax and the iPhone Xs Max will react accordingly but on the iPad 12.9 it doesn't matter what the tethering source is set to, it shows Low Data Mode and it's definitely reflected in the speed. Speedtests conducted on the Xs Max and the iPad air show what you would expect when toggling the setting on the tethering source.

    Again if mods see this as complaining or troubleshooting a speed issue then I will accept it but to me it's something else since it's single device isolated.

    Text notification issue

    Posted: 25 Jul 2021 10:09 PM PDT

    I am having an issue with my phone where when I get a text from one specific number it doesn't notify me. I've already checked that I do not have hide alerts on and I do not have do not disturb on. I get notifications from every number but this one. I have already tried deleting the contact and then putting it in again and I have checked the info tab of the number. I haven't seen anyone else with this issue on the internet so I haven't been able to get answers that way. Can someone please help???

    iOS 14.7 Reddit App: heat & stutter

    Posted: 25 Jul 2021 10:03 AM PDT

    Since installing iOS 14.7 I'm experiencing heat on my 11pro which has never reached this level before. It is also seemingly isolated to the official Reddit app, which causes the phone to heat and the app stutters with frames slowing right down.

    Is anyone else experiencing this and know of any fixes?

    Why does iOS Search suggest unwanted things?

    Posted: 26 Jul 2021 04:41 AM PDT

    Hello guys, since I started to notice this I feel like I am going crazy so I figured out I would ask you about it.

    Whenever I search something on my iPhone home screen, the Search tries everything to include the words "Apple Watch" to it. If I write simple "can I", it suggests "can I leave my Apple Watch on charger overnight" (which is really ironic because it's ten times longer), if I write "re", it fills out to "reminek Apple Watch SE" (the first word means band in my language) and if I write "rem" it suggests "reminders on Apple Watch".

    I do not own Apple Watch and never would want them - especially not after this. I deleted every search and browser history I could find but it still keeps appearing.

    Do you have any ideas how to get rid of it? Do you think there's possibility that Apple manipulates search suggestions for sales improvements?
