    Apple iOS Why isn't the "Hidden" folder protected by password/face ID?

    Why isn't the "Hidden" folder protected by password/face ID?

    Posted: 12 May 2022 10:51 AM PDT

    A few months ago I gave an acquaintance at a party my phone in order to pick a song to play on the Bluetooth. I found out recently this person went into my hidden folder and texted himself several of my private pictures.

    We have a hidden folder in our photos app, and yet anyone with access to our phone can access the folder. We should have the option to protect this folder (and any folder in our iPhone, for that matter) with a separate PIN from the one we use to unlock our phone.

    On top of my own personal incident, I live in Chicago, and every day there is a new story of someone being robbed at gun point for their phone, and then made to give their PIN. This means the criminals have access to all sensitive information in their phone.

    On Android, there is something called Privacy Mode. It allows you to set a separate PIN to unlock particular files/folders in your phone. The great thing about this is you can set multiple PINs for different privacy modes. So, if someone were to demand a PIN to your privacy mode, you can give them a fake PIN you've set up, and they wouldn't know the difference.

    This feature should be a top priority. I feel violated from a situation that is totally preventable with a few simple lines of code. Please fix this.

    Local Device Fingerprinting on iOS

    Is anyone aware of a way to disable the mention suggestions in the iOS Notes app?

    Posted: 12 May 2022 01:44 PM PDT

    I have a 2 letter text replacement that does not work within the app when the first letter of a shortcut is either the first letter of my name or the name of the person I've shared the note with. The replacement works everywhere else. Thanks!

    e.g. My name starts with T. When I type "Tc" I want T♣️, however it does not replace the c with the clubs emoji. I have all 4 suits as replacements and none of them are replaced for Tx

    Question about Photos app

    Posted: 12 May 2022 07:56 PM PDT

    Recently I found the "Adjust date and time" feature in the photo's app on my iPhone 11 Pro Max. So I had the bright idea of changing the dates to the current date in order to group a bunch of photos (garage sale stuff) that were scattered throughout my camera roll to the very end to be easier to find on Facebook in order to post them. I did originally want to just make a separate folder for them but my wife argued with me and didn't want it done that way. (She has a difficult time using any kind of technology.)

    Only to find that while it did move them to the bottom of the Photo library, it did not show them in the "recents" section of the library.

    Now my question is this. In order to "Revert" the pictures dates and times to the original, am I stuck with doing so with one picture at a time? Or is there any way to do so with multiple pictures at the same time?

    Thank you for your help in advance.

    Mail app: white box under text in Dark Mode?

    Posted: 12 May 2022 06:17 PM PDT

    I have reluctantly made the switch from the Gmail app to Apple's stock Mail app, because I don't believe Gmail is available on Apple Watch (please correct me if I'm wrong).

    Just wondering: is there any way to get rid of the white box underneath the text in emails, when I'm using Dark Mode? The app is essentially dark mode; it's just the text that is overtop white. I'm assuming it's because Apple's Mail app isn't able to change the font color, so they keep the background white. Gmail doesn't do this.

    Anyone have any idea? Thanks!

    Please … for the love … why can’t iPhone allow me to change audio source from control center?

    Posted: 12 May 2022 06:07 PM PDT

    Any time I get into my car and something like tik-tok is playing (don't judge), my car Bluetooth takes over.

    In some apps like music I can control audio source from within the app. But I can't find this on tik-tok.

    If I long press the audio in control center it only shows that I'm connected to car Bluetooth … no option for switching to AirPods or the iPhone speakers.

    Even switching my cars audio to radio I still can't switch audio source in my phone without turning off Bluetooth… which I don't want to do because of Apple Watch.

    Drives me nuts!

    iphone messages not showing shared links, photos, etc in

    Posted: 12 May 2022 12:09 PM PDT

    Hey there. Im a bit lost and have tried so much, with no success. its been like this for months, and i finally downloaded ios 15.4.1 in hopes of change...but nope.

    So basically, when i pull up someones message, who ive talked to for awhile, no past photos are shown. It says shared links, photos, and more will be shown once messages finish indexing...but nothing happens. I can manually scroll up through conversation and see the photos. But for ex, if i sent thema photo many months ago that im trying to see...that could take forever for me to find. Ive tried going to settings-apple id-icloud-messages-and turn it off and on...but nothing happens. If i go to my messages overall, maybe i can get it to where it says 'downloading messages from icloud'.But once i wait for that to finish, nothing has changed. I dont know what to do and its a pain. Any advice??

    Subtitles gone when entering full screen with screen mirroring / airplay

    Posted: 12 May 2022 12:51 PM PDT

    Hi all,

    On my LG smart tv (which supports airplay) for a couple of weeks, I'm facing the problem that the subtitles are disappearing when entering full screen in screen mirroring mode.

    Normally when screen mirroring, the subtitles were also showing. I've noticed that when entering full screen it automatically switches to airplay. Is there a way to prevent this, because I think airplay streaming is the issue.

    Or anyone else knows a better way / fix?

    Thankssss

    How do I move the grey bar to the top of the keyboard? In landscape mode, it sits in the middle of my screen. In portrait mode, it sits at the top of my screen. Long-pressing does nothing

    Photos app not displaying photos in full quality

    Posted: 12 May 2022 04:07 PM PDT

    Hi, I have an iPhone 13 Pro running iOS 15.4.1.

    Today I noticed that the photos app isn't loading the full quality of some (or maybe all) photos. Of course I have iCloud photo library set to download all photos on the device and all photos are downloaded (sync is done, and I have tested photos sent through AirDrop)

    The problem is, that for example if I have a 16 bit PNG image of a gradient for example, even if the photo has no banding in the gradient, in the photos app there appears to be banding. If I tap the "Edit" button, only then the full quality of the photo is loaded and the banding disappears. As soon as I tap cancel, the banding appears again and the sharpness of the photo is slightly reduced. This is only noticeable if I zoom in.

    The strangest thing is, that I tested this with my friend's iPhone 12 running ios 15.4.1, and for the same photos, the iPhone 12 loads the full quality of the photo every time.

    Of course i tried a restart without luck. Any ideas??
