    Anyone who’s never used an Android doesn’t know just how bad iPhone notification settings are

    Posted: 21 Feb 2022 09:10 PM PST

    This all or nothing approach the iPhone has towards notifications is as frustrating as it is confusing. Android has settings for each individual app so you can deselect the types of notifications you wish not to receive.

    Take Bolt for example (a taxi app similar to Uber), I constantly receive promotional messages that pop up on my phone because the iPhone doesn't allow you to disable promotional notifications from Bolt. Android does. All iPhone allows you to do is disable notifications for the app, which means I wouldn't have notifications when I order a cab unless I remembered to switch it back on

    Another one is a dating app that I'm on that has a live streaming component to it. It'll alert me when random people I don't care about start streaming. There's no setting inside the app to turn that off, yet there was an option in Android's notification settings

    Given that Android has had this feature baked into the OS for years, it's surely possible for iPhone to do the same thing

    Reset markup pen settings

    Posted: 22 Feb 2022 07:07 AM PST

    This is a weird request, but has anyone found a way to reset the pen settings in markup back to the default? I know I changed it at some point and I don't know what the defaults are.

    People on AT&T, do you have a toggle anywhere in settings that actually says "VoLTE"?

    Posted: 22 Feb 2022 04:21 AM PST

    So I just noticed something that scares the shit out of me. I was comparing my iPhone against someone else's. They have a separate toggle in cellular settings where you can explicitly turn VoLTE on and off. I don't, I only have a toggle in the data options where I can toggle "Enable LTE" and "Data Roaming". There's no mention of 'VoLTE' anywhere in the cellular section of the settings app and nothing comes up when I search either. This isn't an old iPhone 5 or something, I know for sure it supports VoLTE. Is my SIM messed up? Does this mean the phone will stop being able to make and receive calls starting today when AT&T shuts down 3G? Is this what other people see?

    Edit: I think I heard that 5G iPhones are VoLTE by default, but mine isn't a 12 or 13 so I don't have 5G.

    The health app is just a mess…

    It needs a complete overhaul in my opinion.

    The new wallpapers should have kept the satellite images of the Earth and the Moon, and used the daytime picture of Earth for the light setting, and used the nighttime picture of Earth and/or the picture of the Moon for the dark and sleep settings

    Seems like a no-brainer to me. Apple really dropped the ball on this one

    Old app no update option, downgrade system?

    Posted: 22 Feb 2022 08:03 AM PST

    So, I have this old app named Models in my ipad in which I bought a bunch of photo references for drawing, problem is, I updated ios and now it won't run, I searched for the developer to ask for help and they are nowhere to be found. Does a system downgrade would be an option? I just want tu run it once, screenshot the sh*t out of it and let it go. What do you think? Thx

    Turn off link preview

    Posted: 22 Feb 2022 08:00 AM PST

    How do I turn off link previews for iOS 14 in other apps in addition to Safari?

    I was able to turn it off for Safari by pressing "Hide preview" button but I don't see that option in other apps, like Reddit, email apps or other browsers.

    IMO, this feature is cool but may pose a small security risk sometimes. Hence I would like to turn it off completely and globally if possible. Tried to find it in Settings but to no avail.

    Have my own iCloud+ Plan. Can I use a family-sharing iCloud+?

    Posted: 22 Feb 2022 07:40 AM PST

    Hi! I've currently subscribed to my own 200GB iCloud+ plan.
    If my mother was to buy iCloud+ and share it with me, what will happen?
    Would there be a way to transfer my data from my current iCloud+ to the one that she shared?
    Thanks!

    Hide a conversation completely?

    Posted: 21 Feb 2022 07:06 PM PST

    My in laws have a family chat which I am added to. It's always a political, divisive mess and I hate it. If I leave the group, it causes drama, and they just add me again. Is there a way to remain part of the chat but make it invisible so I never have to see it?

    Issues with RAM, apps closing when switch between apps.

    Posted: 21 Feb 2022 01:59 PM PST

    Lately I have noticed that when switching apps, the apps restart and it is very annoying. For example, I am in X application filling out a form, I change the app, I change back to a third app and when I return to the first one, it restarts.

    This has never happened to me so frequently, I have an iPhone 12 running iOS 15.

    I'm almost sure that iOS is closing the apps because it needs to free up RAM for the others, but it's too much when I'm only using 3 apps.

    Did you guys think that it's a RAM size issue? Do you think Apple should start putting more RAM into its phones? I am an Android/iOS user and I know that android uses an exorbitant ammount of RAM but it happen less in my android phone.

    iMessage Info Page Missing Location Map & Call Icons Disabled

    Posted: 21 Feb 2022 05:50 PM PST

    iMessage Info Page Missing Location Map & Call Icons Disabled

    Below is an image showing my phone (left) and my wife's phone (right). Note that the Call, Video, and Mail icons are disabled for her on my phone. If I tap the Info icon I am then able to select any of those options from her contact card. The map with her location also won't show. Note how it does show my location on her phone however. She is sharing her location with me and I can see it if I open the Find My app. I tried revoking the share location on her phone and then re-enabling it, but that didn't help. This all started after we upgraded to iPhone 13 Pros and switched to AT&T. We are both running iOS 15.3.1. Any thoughts on how to resolve this are appreciated. Thanks!

    WhatsApp notifications

    Posted: 22 Feb 2022 02:18 AM PST

    This is my first time using iPhone as my personal device and something I am missing from android is that when on whatsapp some one sends me like 5 or 6 messages the notification only ringed the first time, now on iOs it rings on every and each message and its annoying.

    Is any way to get what I am refering if its clear enough to understand?

    I can not revert edits done to some of my photos

    Posted: 22 Feb 2022 12:46 AM PST

    (Correct me if I am wrong, but I think it might be iOS related issue.)

    Whenever I edit photo on my iPhone it should create AAE file with all the edits and the original remains untouched, right? Whenever I chose to cancel all the edits, the AAE file should disappear, right?

    So I have this unusual thing with couple of files on my photoroll. Those were edited from full size to square size back in the days. I am unable to cancel those edits now. The button that usually does that is greyed out (instead of being red).

    The data is definitely there (I can reframe the photo and "move" the square frame to other, cropped parts of the photo). When I connect to iFunBox the file is visible as full size uncropped file. There is also AAE file next to it. So data about cropping is definitely there, but there is no way to revert it.

    I want to return the photos to their original uncropped state but:
    - the button that usually does that does not work
    - removing the AAE file through iFunBox results in a photo still being cropped on the iPhone (how is that even possible?), pop up appearing that the photo can not be opened (but it opens withouth a any problem, just still cropped).

    It's just like iPhone for whatever reason does want to access that AAE file even if I remove it (thus gives me error), but when the AAE file is on the device, iPhone does not acknowledge it and I can't remove the edits that are written inside of it.

    This issue is with only like 5 photos I took some months ago. Maybe the photos were transferred to some other device and back via AirDrop back in the days, not sure if relevant. Maybe the device powered off during one of those transfers. iPhone XS with most recent iOS. Not using iCloud. Please help.

    Alarm only rings for 1 seconds

    Posted: 21 Feb 2022 11:55 PM PST

    Hi I think there's a bug in the live version of iOS with alarm.

    I use Bluetooth music while I sleep then I wake up for alarm. However since last Wednesday Thursday my alarm only rings for one second then the sleeping music continues. Alarm screen still ongoing at this point like it's ringing.

    This wasn't the case. Alarm would blast though the Bluetooth speaker until setting it off

    Any good app alternative for Infuse 7 with external drive browsing?

    Posted: 21 Feb 2022 10:46 PM PST

    Infuse 7 is really good. I like the UI, online metadata and support for both local and external file browsing. But the free version doesn't support all formats and the Infuse pro 7 pricing is prohibitively high.

    VLC for iOS sucks. nPlayer won't let me play videos so I don't know yet. Any other video player I've tried doesn't seem to be on par with Infuse 7.

    AirPods Pro and battery life on iPhone

    Posted: 21 Feb 2022 03:17 PM PST

    So, I am thinking about buying the AirPods Pro model and I was wondering what's the battery health on the iPhone when those are connected? Does the battery drain fast?

    I have iPhone 13 Pro and I am really scared if I buy them my battery life on my device will drastically change since the Bluetooth will always be enabled.

    Currently, I am able to use my phone 15 hours/day with one charging.

    Please share your experiences.

    Thanks!

    Question about Apple Music

    Posted: 21 Feb 2022 12:23 PM PST

    Day 3 now of using my first ever iPhone (13mini) and I have some questions about Apple Music. I synced via ITunes with my PC's library. I then disabled mobile data usage for Apple Music in the settings because I don't want to spend any data listening to what I already own. In settings under "downloaded music" I can see my entire library show up. And when I disable Wi-Fi and mobile data in control center I can still listen to it all. That means that everything is already on my phone right? But when I go into the app and long press on any album I still get the option to download. Sooo… is everything downloaded or not? Will Apple Music spend data or not? Should I rather use a different app?

    Any clearing up will be greatly appreciated!

    low quality when streaming shows iphone 13 promax

    Posted: 21 Feb 2022 04:55 PM PST

    this has probably been asked already but i haven't found a list about it. When i watch a video from day youtube/netflix/hulu, it always starts in low quality and eventually goes to regular quality, this is fine on youtube because usually i can change the quality manually to instant get it to a higher quality, but in apps like prim video i have to wait for it to change in its own, or restart the video multiple times. have bot had this issue in any phones in the past. is this a problem with the new phone/ios or is there some sort of setting i can change? not a huge deal but gets annoying fast

    Can't Find Auto-Reply Text option

    Posted: 21 Feb 2022 08:49 AM PST

    I've read dozens of articles and all of them say that under Focus, Options there should be an auto-reply option for text messaging but that option is simply not there on my phone. I'm looking at screenshots and under Driving there's an auto-reply option that does not exist on my phone. The "Driving" focus is also not there. I'm trying to set up something that will automatically respond to any text messages for the next 4 days as I will not be able to be near my phone. I'm running 15.3.1. Did this option move?

    Is there an app that locks your iphone so you can't use it?

    Posted: 22 Feb 2022 12:29 AM PST

    I understand that there is screen time and you can access downtime which puts limits on your phone; however it gives you access to cancel downtime. I am looking for an app that locks your phone for a set period of time so I can do something a lot more productive. I am aware that I can use focus timers or just use will power, however it's a lot easier if I didn't have access to my phone than to actively resist using my phone. As always, I highly appreciate any help or advice you guys suggest to me.
