Rant - why are Apple devices so "dumb" as to on-device or between-device troubleshooting? Posted: 02 Oct 2021 07:35 AM PDT My question is: with all of the CPU cores, Neural engines, Bionic chips, "Superintelligent software" ( from the landing page of the iPhone 13), and all of the other buzzwords used by Apple to make it sound like everything just works, why, when things DON'T work together, is the user forced to try to figure out the problem? I think that, by now, with all of these capabilities, I should just be able say: "Hey Siri, figure out why I can't get my iPhone to connect to my Apple Watch" for example, and Siri can look at my devices and tell me the answer to the problem (And no "I found this webpage with possible solutions, I'll send it to your iPhone" is NOT the answer). After all, once I've registered different Apple devices onto my Apple account, Apple knows everything about those individual pieces of hardware (Serial #'s, IMEA #'s, current software version, stored Wifi names) etc., so why can't my devices figure out the problem, whatever the problem is that I describe, and then offer device-specific suggestions, or just fix the problem? Why can't some of that iCloud-stored data about how and where I use my Apple devices be used as input to figure out the answer to problems with my existing devices/software? I mean, look through all of the sub-reddits that are Apple-related (IOS, Mac, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Homepod, etc), and many of the posts that are problems can be summarized by: "Why can't X connect to Y" or "why, after an upgrade can't I do X, when I used to be able to?". So, a lot of people are asking for help on getting their Apple devices and software to do what they want, (granted not all of those questions have an answer), so why can't Apple use a portion of the capabilities of current devices to make them "self-aware" enough to self-diagnose connectivity issues or respond to natural-language queries from the user with device-specific answers about why, for example, IOS 15 doesn't allow you to do what you could do with IOS 14? I realize I could post this same question to any hardware or software platform, but I'm posting here because Apple, more so that others, controls the hardware and software, so if any vendor can do this, it would be Apple.

Posted: 02 Oct 2021 04:13 AM PDT Excuse my ignorance on the subject but can someone explain to me why they need developer testing on every new version of iOS? Surely the foundations of the system are already there and they just have to write the code for the new features? I know it's probably not that simple!😅 [link] [comments] | ||
I am not able to delete a tag in Reminders App Posted: 02 Oct 2021 08:16 AM PDT So I was just testing the new tag function and I created a tag that now I can't delete. There aren't any reminders which are marked with that tag, however the tag still appears on the App. How do I remove it? [link] [comments] | ||
Not getting notifications from apps on iOS 15 Posted: 02 Oct 2021 05:17 AM PDT I'm on iPhone X. Before I updated to iOS 15 I was getting all my notifications but now I rarely get notifications for messages. Does anybody have a fix for this? [link] [comments] | ||
Is there a way to sync opened webpages from Safari on iPhone to Chrome on PC and vice versa? Posted: 02 Oct 2021 05:14 AM PDT As the title says, I know it's possible if I'm using the same browser on my phone and my pc, but for whatever reason I got used to chrome on PC and safari on iphone. Is there a way to do this with just pressing one button? Right now I'm doing it by sending myself the links through messenger, but it's not convenient. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Problem with iphone 8 and macbook pro m1 Posted: 02 Oct 2021 03:02 AM PDT I have an iphone 8 and a macbook pro m1, long ago there was the problem that if I connected the phone to the computer to synchronize it and make a backup, the iphone apps crashed. After months I would like to try to connect it again ... do you think they fixed the bug? [link] [comments] | ||
Safari's "Look Up" suggestions now loaded with cruft Posted: 02 Oct 2021 08:28 AM PDT Apple must have figured out that Safari's "Look Up" feature is a crowd pleaser because suddenly it has a long list of irrelevant suggestions with "Search Web" way at the bottom. Has anyone figured out how to remove this misfeature and put "Search Web" at the top? [link] [comments] | ||
IMessage and other apps problems ios 15.0.1 on iphone 12 Posted: 02 Oct 2021 08:02 AM PDT Has anyone had problems so far with IMessage? My app randomly crashes, doesn't let me type an sometimes i have to do a full reboot. Some apps are sketchy too like youtube not letting me press on a video sometimes and instagram not letting stories audio trough my airpods if i'm in silent mode. Does anyone have a solution? I'm a new member of the apple community and i've made a full switch a few months ago and never had any problem but now with this update i'm kinda regretting my decision. [link] [comments] | ||
What’s the best way to keep track of new web extensions? Posted: 02 Oct 2021 07:47 AM PDT I'm kind of hooked on them lol. The App Store doesn't do a great job organizing them. [link] [comments] | ||
Photo handling by Documents by Readdle Posted: 02 Oct 2021 01:38 AM PDT I tried 2 ways of getting photos from the iPhone camera roll through Documents by Readdle and they gave me different file sizes and image artefacts: 1) Directly downloading from Photos folder by navigating in Documents 2) Importing photos into Documents first, then download those photos Both methods gave images with the same pixel dimension, but method 2 had larger file sizes and less compression artefacts. Method 2 also preserved more EXIF data. Can someone enlighten me on what is happening? [link] [comments] | ||
Videos randomly pause in every app Posted: 02 Oct 2021 07:20 AM PDT I'm not sure if this is a known issue but in every app I stream videos on (HBO, Netflix, Youtube etc), the videos will randomly pause every few minutes. Does anyone else have this issue and knows the cause? If there a possible fix? [link] [comments] | ||
How can I erase my iPhone and keep cellular plan (eSIM) in iOS 15? Posted: 02 Oct 2021 06:52 AM PDT In previous iOS versions, Apple was allowing users choose if they want to keep their cellular plan (eSIM) when erasing iPhone, but in iOS 15 Apple removed the option to keep cellular plan and now shows a message stating that cellular plan will be removed from device. I've already talk to Apple support team and they don't know if eSIM will be removed or not, saying it depends your carrier. These informations are so confusing. Will eSIM be removed if I erase my iPhone (erase content and settings)? [link] [comments] | ||
Posted: 02 Oct 2021 06:46 AM PDT Last week I realized that the password manager can set up verifications code. I was using another app to manage all the 2 factor authentication procedures but now I'm using only the password app (thanks Apple) Anyhow, is there a way to create a shortcut to access password for the main screen? I know is only two steps (open settings/passwords) but I will like to create a shortcut [link] [comments] | ||
Posted: 02 Oct 2021 06:08 AM PDT After update to iOS 15.0.1 my doesn't seem to be charging. My iPhone 13 Pro Max sat on the charger all night and is still at 34%. I checked to make sure the charger was working, rebooted the device, plugged it back in and still no change. Anyone else having any issues? [link] [comments] | ||
There is a hidden QR Code scanner in iOS 15 Posted: 02 Oct 2021 06:05 AM PDT If you're not happy with the way the default camera app scans QR codes there is an alternative. If you do a spotlight search for "scanner" you should see a code scanner app. https://i.imgur.com/8Ujnds8.jpg IMO this presents a much better scanning experience for QR codes. Not sure if this was present in iOS 14 but it's the first time I've noticed it. [link] [comments] | ||
Blurry photos on the device after uploading photo library to iCloud Posted: 02 Oct 2021 05:01 AM PDT Hi, Recently, I uploaded all of my photos to iCloud and forgot to check the option to keep the originals in full size locally on my iPhone. Now, every time I scroll through photos and select one it either loads it from the iCloud or if I am not connected to any network or mobile data my photos remain blurry. How can I put them back ? Thank you [link] [comments] | ||
iOS 15 Doesn't Offer a Way to Disable Apple TV Keyboard Notifications Posted: 01 Oct 2021 08:16 PM PDT Has anyone found a workaround or do we just wait for an update? It's very annoying. https://www.macrumors.com/2021/09/29/ios-15-apple-tv-keyboard-notifications/ [link] [comments] | ||
Posted: 02 Oct 2021 04:58 AM PDT Since yesterday i am unable to hear an audio nor preview a photo from notifications on my iPhone, it is updated with the latest version and the issue started before 15.0.1, does anyone have this issue and have a way to solve it? [link] [comments] | ||
How do you delete icloud photos on iOS? Posted: 02 Oct 2021 04:50 AM PDT Does deleting pics on your phone delete them from icloud photos? 2) How do i delete pics on icloud photos without a computer? Thanks [link] [comments] | ||
Posted: 02 Oct 2021 04:15 AM PDT The Mobile Data settings have changed from iOS 14 to 15, and there is no longer a VoLTE slider under the "Voice and Data" menu. Has this been moved somewhere else? Is it enabled by default (If so how would one turn it off if you didn't want it enabled)? On a 12 Pro Max, running iOS 15 (19A346) for context. [link] [comments] | ||
Does “failed to send” message mean I’m blocked when texting through iMessage? Posted: 02 Oct 2021 03:02 AM PDT First message had a read receipt. Second had "failed to send". ~30 mins apart. [link] [comments] | ||
How to add applications to Driving Focus mode Posted: 01 Oct 2021 11:02 PM PDT I have a tyre pressure sensor and it's associated application on the phone. It's very important that any notifications from that applications are displayed when I am driving. However in the Driving Focus mode I can add people but not applications. I can create a custom focus mode and activate it manually but I would like for it to automatically get activated when the phone connects to car Bluetooth. Is there a work around for this situation.

How is Live Text handling your language? (Multi-lingual Live Text) Posted: 01 Oct 2021 05:39 PM PDT I was excited to use this feature for Japanese. I receive a lot of things on paper, rather than digital, and have to scan them if I want to store the information. But using it, it tried to turn all Japanese into Chinese. Even Katakana, which is script only for Japanese, it tried to find the closes Chinese approximation and uses that. I don't have Chinese as a system language, don't speak it, never use it, but I do have Japanese set as a keyboard and language on my phone. Is anyone else having issues with your non English language and Live Text? [link] [comments] |
