    LPT: You can use Text Replacement to have a right arrow (→ instead of ->), with lots of use cases

    LPT: You can use Text Replacement to have a right arrow (→ instead of ->), with lots of use cases

    You can set it up in: Settings → General → Keyboard → Text Replacement

    (See what I did there? 😉)

    Here's the symbol for easy copy-pasting when setting it up: →

    Use cases for a right arrow:

    • When explaining a navigation path in apps (like above)
    • When explaining a few steps in a tutorial: Open App Store → Double tap the top right profile button → Tap Subscriptions → Check for unintended subscriptions
    • When denoting a change in values: $23 (2014) → $32 (2022), 210 → 167 lbs, $830M → $1.04B.
    • When explaining a chain of things: Event → Thought → Feeling (this is a CBT thing called Automatic Thoughts. Look it up, it can be life-changing. Much bigger than this LPT)
    • When explaining a chain of people for something: The ball will be passed from Alex → Tom → Cairn for the play
    • When saving travel info: NYC → SFO on 18th 1400 hrs, SFO → NYC on 22nd 1030hrs
    • When saving exercise progressions: eg. 4 → 5 → 6 → 8 reps at 1 week gaps

    A right arrow can make things like this super-readable.

    Note: This will also sync with your iPad and Mac. (Don't worry, most code editors will ignore this (like Xcode does) or will allow you in Settings to ignore it.)

    This is what the page looks like in Settings

    If you guys can share more use cases, I will add them to the post.

    Just created a highly visual guide to teach designers about UIKit and iOS Design

    Posted: 17 Jun 2022 04:51 AM PDT

    Backstory

    • I've been an iOS developer for 4 years (Mostly Swift), and about 2 years in I became a hybrid designer + dev.
    • Because I had a strong understanding of UIKit, I knew how to design for iOS - and take advantage of UIKit's components - which meant I also got reliability, usability, and accessibility for free.
    • It got to the point where my designs were favoured by the mobile team internally, that I moved into more of a design role; where I'd teach the other UX/UI Designers about iOS design; and why utilising UIKit rather than designing something custom is a win for everyone; devs, business; customer

    Today

    • This ended up being a similar pattern at every business I worked at. Where Designers didn't understand the nuisances of iOS design, never heard of HIG.
    • So I've written a highly visual guide that teaches designers about iOS design, but can also help developers learn design best practices.

    Would love to get everyones thoughts on it https://designingforios.com

    Text Replacement question

    Posted: 17 Jun 2022 11:09 AM PDT

    I have a text replacement for my email addresses. I have the tendency to type fairly fast and cluelessly. The text replacement I have is "gml" to add my personal gmail address. To insert the replacement, I usually type a spacebar. This adds a space at the end of my email address. When inputting into forms, spacebars in email addresses aren't considered valid, so this usually has me go through the entire form again, because I would have forgotten to backspace the inserted spacebar.

    Is there another way to insert text replacements without having to type the spacebar?

    iOS Activation Lock Question

    Posted: 17 Jun 2022 06:06 AM PDT

    Just looking for a little assistance regarding activation lock. I work in an IT department and we are looking for a way to not allow iOS devices to get activation locked to a personal apple ID but at the same time not lock iOS down so much to the point it starts to restrict usability.

    We tried using our MDM to lock the apple ID so it couldn't be changed but we found that this caused issues with iCloud, FaceTime, iMessage and basically any built in app that somehow relied on that apple ID.

    My understanding is that find my iphone is what enables that activation lock and we have the capability to not allow staff to turn that feature on regardless of what apple ID they use. However, I did some testing both with find my* turned on and off and wiped the device and it never got activation locked for some reason. My understanding was as soon as you turned find my iphone on, the device became activation locked. But now I am wondering why when I wiped it, it wasn't activation locked.

    Any assistance would be great.

    Anyone know how to fix Amber Alerts/Emergency Alerts not coming through?

    Posted: 17 Jun 2022 08:59 AM PDT

    iPhone 12 Pro Max running iOS 16 Beta 1, but this has been happening for as long as I can remember.

    My state just had an Amber Alert and a few of my friends with iPhones got the alert, but I didn't. I remember the same thing happened a few months ago when another Amber Alert was issued in another state I was in, and I didn't get it but everyone else I was with got it. It also happened with a tornado warning alert last summer. Person I was with got it, but I didn't yet again.

    I have all the alerts turned on in the notifications tab in settings. I have T-Mobile if that plays a part into it.

    Cellular error

    Posted: 17 Jun 2022 08:38 AM PDT

    Hi, my phone (iPhone 8 plus) after the recent update says "no service" where it usually shows the carrier signal and when I go to the settings>cellular It has an error message saying that "an update is required to use cellular data on this iPhone". I tried resetting the settings, resetting the network, turning the phone on and off. The only thing I couldn't do was a factory reset because it gives me a message saying that "I will not be able to set up the phone after resetting because a cellular update needs to be installed"

    I tried talking with my carrier, they tried the same things I did, then told me to talk with Apple support. I talked with Apple support, they said I have to send it for repair, but that's not worth it $$$.

    Does anyone know how to fix this issue without sending it for repair ?

    My husband has an iPhone as well, his iPhone still has the older update. Would I be able to back up his phone on my computer, then download it in my phone to go back to the previous update ?

    Question(Find my iPhone Airpods)

    Posted: 17 Jun 2022 08:24 AM PDT

    */n.B had to repost i couldn't read anything on the post

    I last used my airpods at the gym yesterday 2:45pm. I havent seen them since. I was convinced they fell out of my pocket somewhere.

    I set the play a sound when they connect to on. I then realized that fond my iPhone said that my Airpods have been found in my house at 2:42am last night. I read online that they cannot connect to airpods in the case.

    Is this some sort of false positive or is it in the house somewhere?

    social media links always open the apple app store?

    Posted: 16 Jun 2022 03:20 PM PDT

    e.g. if someone has a link to their insta profile and i click it, safari immediately pops up and before i can react the phone switches to the ios app store showing me the page for the instagram app. same thing with vsco or other social media platforms. what good is that? i've had those apps installed for years

    worst part is that most apps dont let me copy and paste links in the bio so i'm not even look them up manually

    Any solution to AirDrop randomly not working? (besides restarting)

    Posted: 17 Jun 2022 10:18 AM PDT

    It is guaranteed that after AirDropping hundreds of photos/videos with family/friends eventually it just stops working (been experiencing this every day this past week). Basically the sending phone can see the receiving phone, but after you tap it, the status is stuck on "waiting" forever (if you wait for 10 minutes it eventually says failed). Yes, both phone screens are on and unlocked + AirDrop "everyone" etc.

    Turning AirDrop off and on again (both phones) in Control Center does nothing. The only solution is restarting the receiving phone. The sending phone does not have to restart. The kicker is once the receiving phone powers down to the black screen, the AirDrop notification sound plays immediately. So it seems somewhere in the software stack the notification is stuck and not showing up until the phone goes through a power down process. Once the phone is restarted, AirDrop works immediately.

    I am also not sure what causes the problem. My guess is trying to send too much data at once.

    Ever since updating to ios 15, my phone frequently crashes and after a crash wifi is grayed out and bluetooth won’t connect

    Posted: 17 Jun 2022 10:01 AM PDT

    i also cannot cast. this wasn't an issue prior to updating to ios 15. the first few times this happened, it was fixable by software updating, after the software update installed, wifi was back on, bluetooth worked, casting worked etc. then the phone crashed again, same issue, i software updated and it fixed, etc. now i am out of software updates. the only time it's been fixed in the last week was after restarting my phone and i guess i got lucky, because i've restarted my phone many times trying to get it to fix itself to no avail. resetting network settings also doesn't work.

    the typical answer seems to say that this is a hardware issue.. why would it be solved temporarily by updating software? the only thing i haven't tried is factory reset. is it possible to completely back up your phone and factory reset on ios? i do not have any storage space nor will i pay for storage space for more icloud. i don't use icloud but it was enabled by default. however, if im to understand correctly it gives you a temporary unlimited icloud space when factory resetting your phone in order to let you back up your data and quickly restore it right? if so, i'll go ahead and try that. if not i'll turn this phone in for a galaxy s21 because i've never had such issue with any galaxy. i've owned this phone for less than 8 months. thank you for any insight

    Hey Folks! I have an iPhone 11 Pro Max. Wireless charging has stopped working and I've watched every video and read every forum can find regarding the tips to get it to work again. Is it possible that it could actually just be completely broken on my device?

    Is there a way to remove ‘up next’ from popping up after playing a memory in photos?

    Posted: 17 Jun 2022 09:04 AM PDT

    I made a Memory for my mom for her birthday. It's really nice and ends on a nice frame, but then the 'up next' pops up over it and takes away from it. Is there a way to not have that happen? I don't have high hopes for this, but thought I'd ask anyway.

    Bonus question: Every time I play the memory, it's slightly different in speed. Is there a way to lock it in so it's the same every time? Sometimes the music matches up with the photo transitions better than other times. Again, I don't have high hopes since editing options are pretty minimal, but thought I'd ask.

    IOS glitch? Systems data still 150gb+ despite changing phones

    Posted: 17 Jun 2022 12:41 AM PDT

    Had an iPhone X with 160gb of systems data (other, grey coloured storage), essentially taking up most of my storage. I was told by an Apple employee that when I switch to a new phone to set it up from scratch and that my photos and contacts will download automatically from iCloud but to not transfer over the apps and data but rather download them manually. I did just that: set up as a new iPhone, then signed in to iCloud, transferred photos and everything excluding the apps. I then downloaded those missing apps one by one from the store. I look and my systems data is 220gb! Apple online support is useless, any ideas?
