Support How can someone send a text through their email and then it miraculously doesn’t show up as an actual message when you click on it? The only thing that exists from it is the preview notification. I’ve gotten email texts before but this is bizarre.

Hi this is the second time this has happened! And every time that it has happened my iphone had been rebooted after being dead, and the message pops up alongside other notifications. The only other thing of note, is that this email belongs to an abusive ex who has been blocked on everything for years, but I know that wouldn’t ever stop him from finding ways to getting to me.

Since the iOS 27 Beta removes the option to take 48mp photos is there a free app to do it (not just free to download but also free to use without subscription fees) ?

My assistive touch button, which I routinely have to replace in the upper right hand corner of my screen, also looks like a perfect circle now and is no longer responsive. Mind you, I don’t even touch that part of my screen, even to hit post.

Support App keeps logging me in and I can’t sign out as it just closes the app

Upvotes

I have an app on my phone and when I open the app it logs me back into the last used account details. When I click on sign out the app just closes on me and when I open it again it logs me back in. I’ve tried deleting the app, restarting my phone and deleting the password in the password app but no details are saved. How can I fix it? My friend thinks I’m not looking at the right password folder. Thanks

Today was the same but reversed. It said sunny but then it rained heavily. Sure for only a bit but still. When expecting sun to get showered on is not fun.

I used ibis paint on my phone and download it as a png transparent background but when its in the photos app it loses its transparency. When I shared the image to my friend on her phone its transparent for her. It isn’t because I have optimize phone storage on either, I don’t have it on. I tried pretty much everything.

Please let me know if you guys have solutions 🙏

Support Activation fails

The situation is this: they gave me a iPad 2nd Gen 3G. They unlinked it from iCloud (legally - password and email), but I still can't activate it (the error is "Unknown device"). I look at the information - I have IMEI, but i don't ICCID. I didn't know what this was, and I also don't know how to fix it. Can it be fixed with software? Or is this already the end of the line?

Support Trapped by a forgotten legacy passcode when trying to enable Stolen Device Protection on a reused iPhone

Upvotes

Hey everyone, I'm running into a frustrating wall and could really use some insight or a workaround.

Here’s the context: A while back, I set up an old iPhone using my iCloud account for a family member. Months later, they upgraded to a new phone and gave the old one back to me. It sat unused in a drawer for about three months. Recently, my daily driver phone broke, so I pulled this old device out to use as my main phone.

Now, I'm trying to enable Stolen Device Protection, but iOS is blocking me by asking for the device passcode that was previously used on this phone—a passcode that neither I nor my family member can remember, since it was set so long ago and hasn't been used in ages.

My question is: Is there any way to wipe these legacy encrypted data remnants or bypass this via iCloud / Apple's official web portals?

I live in a high-risk area for phone thefts, so activating Stolen Device Protection is a top priority for me right now. Since the phone is already wiped and signed into my current Apple ID, is there a way to clear out whatever system state is demanding that old passcode without needing to know it?

Discussion Weather Widget triggers Location Service every single time I go to the Home Screen

Upvotes

So the stock weather widget is on my Home Screen, it has access to location services "While Using the App or Widgets". Precise Location is turned Off.

The widget is set to My Location.

In System Services I turned Off the Status Bar Icon, but it does not affect apps, only system services.

My problem is that every single time I go to my Home Screen the little arrow on top left next to the clock pops up.

What I mean by every single time, I mean literally.

Like I am on Home Screen, the arrow pops up, I wait till it disappears, swipe to App Library, swipe back to Home Screen the arrow pops up again.

I open an app, go back to Home Screen, arrow pops up again.

Without me making a single step anywhere, and just a few seconds between the interactions.

Does this mean that every single time the arrow comes up, the phone fires the GPS chip, or uses WI-FI, Cellular or Bluetooth for location service? Is this the intended behaviour? Is it really necessary to ask for location every few seconds when I look at the widget, even if it checked for location 5 seconds ago?

I know the workarounds, like set the widget to a fixed location, and set the access to "While Using the App".
However I like how the widget changes automatically when I move to another city.

Discussion Video/Media Players for iOS 2x speed support?

Upvotes

I’ve been using Infuse for a while (iPhone only) and have seem to hit a paywall for some of the content I’m trying to watch. Turns out you need their Pro subscription (too expensive in my local currency) in order to play EAC3 audio files in videos.

I’m not trying to play anything too fancy like Dolby, HDR or whatever else there is. Just normal .mkv video files that happen to have EAC3 audio sometimes.

The dealbreaker feature for me seems to be pressing and holding for 2x speed playback. Infuse supports this. I’ve tried 10+ video players now that do support EAC3 audio on their free tier, but when tapping and holding for 2x speed, there seems to be a ~2 second pause in video audio in both starting and ending 2x speed.

I know this is an extremely specific thing to nitpick about, especially on free to use apps. But here we are. VidHub is the only player I found that doesn’t have a lag with 2x playback but there is a paywall after playing 5 videos. I’ve tried Outplayer, nPlayer lite and everything else I could find recommended.

Do you guys have any recommendations?
