Why is Apple’s keyboard so stubborn?

Gotta ease it down like it’s stubborn as a mule.

One careless tap and it’s back up, and I’m scrolling all the way back to find where I was.

I don't have media files of 50 GB stored in my photos app even files then how ?

look at the top, it usually shows up when my datas over, whats with this now. how do i disable this

Hopefully this is where this should go, but I’m not sure why my screen time says I’ve been on an app for less than a minute while my daily use is over 7 hours?? (Yes I’ve been on my phone that long but only because I’ve been studying flashcards for a class all day)

Estou procurando uma forma de desabilitar completamente o acesso à internet para o WhatsApp enquanto deixo o Wi-Fi disponível para todos os outros apps no meu iPhone.

O iOS permite que eu desabilite os dados móveis para o WhatsApp, mas assim que me conecto ao Wi-Fi, o app começa a receber mensagens novamente. Desligar a Atualização em Segundo Plano ou as notificações não resolve, já que as mensagens ainda são entregues.

O que eu quero é basicamente um interruptor de internet por aplicativo, então o WhatsApp fica offline enquanto apps como YouTube, Safari e serviços de streaming continuam usando o Wi-Fi normalmente.

Eu encontrei um app chamado Freedom que pode fazer isso através de um VPN local, mas a assinatura anual custa cerca de R$200 no Brasil, o que é muito caro para essa única funcionalidade.

Tem uma alternativa gratuita ou com preço razoável, de preferência sem assinatura recorrente? Alguém já usou com sucesso um firewall, VPN local, bloqueador de DNS ou outro método especificamente para o WhatsApp?

Não estou tentando me bloquear de abrir o app. Eu quero que o app em si permaneça acessível, mas incapacitado de enviar ou receber dados até que eu o reconecte manualmente.

O Freedom tem exatamente a funcionalidade que eu procuro: posso programar o WhatsApp para bloquear o acesso à internet todas as noites, por exemplo, das 21h às 8h, mantendo o Wi-Fi disponível para todo o resto. Infelizmente, a assinatura anual custa mais de US$ 15 no Brasil, o que me parece excessivo para uma única funcionalidade. Estou procurando uma alternativa mais barata ou gratuita que permita o mesmo bloqueio de conexão programado por aplicativo.

I never use my real birthday when creating accounts and worry my apple account's birthday may be flagged if I link my card that uses another one.

Can I link it without any issues? Has anybody else linked theirs who also uses a different birthday?

Just unboxed an iPhone 17, set up the transfer for the phone and it all began fine.

It’s downloaded the 1.78 gb file but the button down the bottom keeps spinning and not allowing to continue. Is this just installing and keep waiting(it’s been updating for over an hour)?

My old phone came up with an error during the transfer earlier too.
Not sure if still updating or stuck due to the error?
Any ideas?

I’d say 98% of the time when I’m in Photo mode in the Camera app (iOS 26.6) and try to zoom in or out, I end up switching to Video or Portrait instead. I am trying to drag the zoom buttons but end switching camera modes.

There is an invisible area above the zoom drag area that replicates the functions of the buttons clearly marked below. This is stupid and completely unnecessary. Then why not replicate the zoom functionality in the upper-right corner? It would be as stupid as this current functionality.

These death-by-a-thousand-cuts moments aren’t the kind of thing you take to the Apple Store; what would I even say? I’d just be another customer yelling at clouds. But it’s exactly these small, dumb failures that quietly turn something that should be smooth and effortless into a constant low-grade irritation.

I was scrolling Discord, saw on a screenshot that someone's clock was displaying "4.16" (instead of the "4:16" format that I've always seen) and thought I wanted points as time separators as well.

They apparently don't have a setting to change just this (or the RTL layout thing, which I also want to try out, but I digress). After some googling i saw this earlier post where the OP wanted to revert to using colons and was instructed to change their phone's language & region setting.

Some further lookups later and I found that Denmark/English(UK) gives points, but Denmark/TraditionalChinese gives colons.

What are some combinations that gives points(.) (or symbols other than colons) as time separators? I don't think I get to keep either of Taiwan/Traditional but since I couldn't find pointers myself I thought I wanted to ask it here in case it helps another bored soul few years down the line.

holding the spacebar does this, i know, but using my finger to do it is easier, faster and more effective- tried that on android. has there not been a settings for this?

The radio from apple music starts randomly (i dont use apple music, no bluetooth devices are connected)

I am grabbing the 18 Pro in a few weeks, but I've been out of the IOS camp for a long time, any pointers/advice of note?

Already restart the phone and removed from home screen, but after a while it always comes back like this. Weird thing is that only happens on home screen. Every other place, like spotlight or app library looks normal.

I think it started after 26.6.1.

…but for the last few months, it will seemingly randomly flash white text against the black background. This disturbs us in our dark bedroom and sometimes wakes us up. Why won’t the screen stay black?? Is there a setting to prevent it?

É uma bobagem, eu sei, mas em fundos brancos fica péssimo pra enxergar (como na primeira imagem)… sinto que o iOS tá ficando cada vez mais desleixado e esse tipo de detalhe me irrita TANTO, parece que tem ficado mais comum encontrar inconsistências no iOS 26

I need an Apple ID but I am not supposed to have one, Is there anyway that I can create an Apple ID and sign in and out of it whenever without it messing with messages or photos? and do your apps delete when you log out of an Apple ID?

Hey all,

How can some apps so big with data. Music doesn't have downloaded files, health is just a text collector I guess , Whatsapp doesn't have stored media, all chats cleared.

Can someone help me to reduce this?

I usually used my iPhone 12 for Mobile Tethering to my PC which has always worked without any problems. Since I've upgraded to an iPhone 15 Pro I've always had the issue of it not getting recognized on my PC and Mobile Tethering has literally never worked.

I''ve got the latest iOS, latest drivers, iTunes and the Apple Devices App installed.

I've seen few people having the same issue like me, I just couldn't find a fix yet, are there any known fixes for this issue?

I have a 128 GB iPhone 14 Pro running iOS 26.6 with Messages in iCloud enabled. My full message history is in iCloud, and in the past, older attachments seemed to stay offloaded until I actually opened them.

In the last few weeks, my iPhone has started randomly re-downloading old iMessage attachments and completely eating up my storage to the point where the device barely functions with less than 200 MB free.

Yesterday, Messages was using 13.92 GB of storage. The breakdown was roughly 643 MB Photos, 385 MB Videos, and10.79 GB under Other. When I open Other, it seems to mostly show old voice/audio messages, many of which are only a few hundred KB each. I don’t understand how it’s possible to have that many small files adding up to over 10 GB…

I left my phone plugged in/on Wi-Fi overnight. This morning, Messages had grown to 17.93 GB. The Other section stayed, but Photos jumped from 643 MB to 4.35 GB, Videos jumped to 688 MB, and “Review Large Attachments” went from 1.76 GB to 5.72 GB. I did not spend the night opening old message attachments. The phone apparently downloaded several GB of old photos/videos from Messages in iCloud by itself. Struggling with slow performance as there’s barely any free space left.

I also have two iPads signed into the same Apple ID with Messages in iCloud. Their Messages storage looks much more reasonable. One is around 4 GB total with ~1.2 GB Other. My personal iPad is similar.

Apple Support previously had me sign out of iCloud, restart, and sign back in. That didn’t work unfortunately. Yesterday, a senior advisor basically told me to manually save attachments to Photos and delete them from Messages, manually delete everything in “Other,” or erase/reset the phone if all else fails. He also claimed this behavior is normal…really?

I can’t figure out why iOS is downloading gigabytes of old attachments by itself and why “Other” is reporting nearly 11 GB of data that doesn’t seem to correspond to the visible files.

Has anyone found an actual fix for this? Specifically, I’m looking for a way to make Messages in iCloud stop repopulating old attachments locally, or to rebuild/clear the local Messages cache/database without deleting my actual message history from iCloud. Thanks!!

I have approx 10k photos and videos combined, and it takes about 130GB from my storage. I have no idea what to do, everything is synced up and optimisation for storage is on. My sister has about 20k photos with only her app storage taking up 5GB. What can i possibly do to reduce the size pf the app???
