    Wifi weak security - what is the threat?

    Posted: 15 Aug 2021 05:43 AM PDT

    So I'm on vacation and staying in a place with password protected wifi for guests, however when I connect I receive the "weak security" notice. So I've since disconnected and did a little research.

    From my understanding, this displays when the router is using an old security protocol, one which could be more easily cracked. This makes sense to me, the data being sent between the device and router could potentially be intercepted and interpreted. However, isn't all iOS traffic encrypted anyways? Even if the data between device and router was grabbed, wouldn't it still be encrypted? What is the actual threat posed by this weak security message for a router using the outdated protocol - even more-so in this instance (vacation home)? Surely there has to be one, otherwise Apple wouldn't have added this warning in ios14.

    Just trying to learn and understand things.

    Thanks!

    iOS Keychain Sync

    Posted: 15 Aug 2021 07:05 AM PDT

    I currently use 1Password but am considering moving over to iCloud Keychain after using the iOS 15 beta. It has all the features I currently use in 1Password but for free. I do have a concern about iCloud Keychain.

    I have heard that iCloud Keychain only stores your encrypted password data in iCloud until it reaches your device, then is decrypted and deleted from iCloud. If all your devices are destroyed or signed out of iCloud at the same time, then you lose all your passwords since there is no persistent iCloud storage / backup. Is this true? If so this is a huge dealbreaker as it as a large risk to losing all my passwords & 2FA codes.

    1Password stores all data in their cloud so it lessens the risk of ever losing your passwords. Some view this as a risk, but I see it as a slight insurance policy in the event all my devices are destroyed so I can still get into my accounts.

    Additional, has anyone else switched from 1P or similar to iCloud Keychain?

    Thanks.

    Why does my iPhone keep saving screenshots and screen recordings to files?

    Posted: 15 Aug 2021 05:28 AM PDT

    I don't understand why and how to disable this, but my iCloud storage is cluttered with random screenshots from my phone.

    Why doesn't it just save the screenshot to the gallery? Once I take a screenshot, I always choose "save to gallery", not files.

    Am I the only one who has this problem?

    Factory Reset old iPhone without iTunes password

    Posted: 15 Aug 2021 05:18 AM PDT

    Have an old iPhone 4s (iOS 10) a former colleague who moved out of the country.

    I have the passcode but no way to get the iTunes account password.

    Is there any (free) way to factory reset the iPhone or should I just throw it?

    Thanks

    Resetting Apple ID password without access to the original device.

    Posted: 15 Aug 2021 03:54 AM PDT

    I have an iPhone 5 with an account that has lots of app purchases that I want to get access to. I have an iPhone 12 and want to log in to my old account. I have the username and password, but 2 step authentication was set up on my old phone and I forgot the 4 digit code to get into the phone and now it says that the iPhone is disabled. What are my options? I don't need any of the photos or files on the old iPhone. I just want access to the account.

    Turning off iCloud photos? Idk which option to choose? Downloading a copy, does that mean I will wind up with a whole bunch of duplicates?? I also don’t want to lose everything

    Posted: 14 Aug 2021 11:32 AM PDT

    I was using face id for my locked notes and i guess it didn’t recognize me so now it’s asking for a notes password but i don’t remember putting a password for my notes, it’s not letting me back in. should i contact apple support ?

    What’s the point of News+?

    Posted: 14 Aug 2021 01:22 PM PDT

    Says my iCloud has 2.9GBs of messages and when I click on it the next screen just shows 151MBs… like how do I find and delete the other 2.8gbs? I’ll attach a second image of the next screen in comments. Do I turn off iMessages in iCloud and “disable and download messages” then turn it back on? TY

    I haven’t received an email in over a week in the mail app. What should I do?

    Posted: 14 Aug 2021 10:45 PM PDT

    My e-mail in the iPhone mail app just randomly stopped receiving emails when I usually receive several every single day. I have a hotmail which I'm sure is outlook. What am I supposed to do? Is this on Apples end or Outlooks end?

    How does Safari block third party cookies?

    Posted: 14 Aug 2021 09:57 PM PDT

    I got an iPhone 12 last week and left the Safari on default settings. My understanding is that it blocks third party cookies by default, yet when I checked the cookies today it was full of ad cookies like DoubleClick and others.

    Does Safari allow the cookie to be placed but then prevents it from tracking you across the web?

    Maps: show contacts first when searching?

    Posted: 14 Aug 2021 10:28 AM PDT

    When I search in Maps for a contact's address, it's either at the bottom of the list of results, or worse: mixed in with businesses with similar names.

    Is there a way to get Maps to prioritize Contacts over other results?

    Is there any way to prioritize WiFi over Cellular???? Driving me nuts!!!

    Posted: 14 Aug 2021 01:56 PM PDT

    I live in a basement with poor cell reception but excellent wifi reception. For some goddamn reason, my iphone x insists on trying to do everything over the shitty cell connection. texts, emails, etc take forever to send, and often won't send at all. if i toggle airplane mode on and connect just via wifi, everything sends immediately and with no problems (i have at&t wifi calling so everything works fine on wifi)

    is there a way to just make the stupid phone prioritize sending things over wifi instead of cellular??? it's annoying having to constantly toggle airplane mode on and off just to text people or send an email or load a website, and disabling cellular data for those apps completely isn't an option since then i can't use them when i leave the house and am not on wifi. google has been absolutely useless, so hoping someone here on reddit has an answer, thanks much!!!

    iPhone Storage and Music’s “Optimize Storage” Horked?

    Posted: 14 Aug 2021 09:12 AM PDT

    For the past several months, I've been getting storage full errors on my 256GB iPhoneX. When I look at the storage in use, it will often say something like 168GB of 256GB used, but the allocation bar will be full, showing nothing remaining.

    What's more frustrating is that the by application breakdown will show music consuming 180+ GB (yes, more than the total amount in use) and I have "Optimize Storage" turn-on for music and set to 64GB.

    My phone should not run out of storage until the Music on the phone has been purged back to 64GB.

    I have tried turning the setting off then back on (multiple times), deleting music I don't need on my phone from the iPhone Storage settings page, deleting all music from my phone, but eventually, Music consumes all free space on the phone this includes items I've deleted from the phone multiple times.
