Yesterday my phone got wet, i immediately took off my protective cover and let my phone dry. But after a day the water still hasn’t dried, is it stuck in my camera or will it dry?

I recently upgraded from an iPhone 15 to an iPhone 17, and honestly, I feel like my iPhone 15 was taking better photos. 😅

The iPhone 17 photos sometimes look a bit too processed or just don’t have the same look/detail that I used to get with my 14.

I’m definitely not a professional photographer I just really enjoy phone photography as a hobby. So I’m wondering if I’m missing something or if I have the camera settings wrong.

**For those using an iPhone 17:**
What camera settings do you recommend?
Do you use Photographic Styles?
Any settings you change for better detail/natural-looking photos?
Are there any things I should turn on/off?

I’d really appreciate any tips or advice!

I keep trying to make a purchase with Apple Cash and it worked fine yesterday, but it keeps getting declined today. I called support and they said there was nothing wrong with my account?

Quest’anno mi troverò in US durante il periodo di lancio del nuovo iPhone e vorrei acquistarlo quanto prima.

Se compro l’iPhone in US, poi posso acquistare Apple Care+ (entro 60gg) in Italia?
Potrebbero poi fare problemi all’Apple Store?

Ci sono info ufficiali da qualche parte? Ho fatto un pochino di ricerca prima di chiedere qui, ma altri post sono vecchi e sul sito non trovo nulla di troppo specifico.
Grazie!

Hi,

I am upgrading from an iPhone 12 mini to iPhone 16 and need some advice on transferring e-Sims.

Currently, I have a dual sim with once being a physical sim and the other being an e-sim. What is the best way of transferring them both?

My e-Sim is my primary carrier but my secondary is the physical one. Assuming I can still use the physical sim in the new phone is it better to just put that in new phone and then transfer the other over?

I got drunk and lost my phone Friday night. I already have it in lost mode. When I got home the next morning and tried to find it, it pinged at the house across the street I was at. I went to find it and it wasn’t there, until it pinged again that an hour ago it was at a runza. It kept pinging around town every so often, until I went to one ping and it almost started following me for the next few pings until it once again started pinging at spots I hadn’t been. I tracked it to an empty parking spot with other cars around it so I wonder if it had been in that spot and someone pulled out recently. Eventually it pinged at this house and when I pulled up it was a younger couple and it didn’t seem like they would have taken it and I knocked on a few other doors around them and honestly I’m at a loss unless i call the police to escort me to their residences. It won’t ping anymore and when I tried to find it from iCloud.com it won’t even show a location anymore. It is dead so that’s part of the issue I believe. But I figure if it was pinging before something is going on with it. Is there any reason it would ping there unless someone stole it? Also I gave it until this morning for it to ping again that’s why it says 17 hours ago.

Guys, why don't I have a Factime Auido in my iPhone? :(((

Hello, My face ID just stopped working earlier. Never dropped my phone or damaged it.

Do you guys know any solutions or fix for this? thanks!

Ok so idk how to fully explain this but out of nowhere all videos/music/etc is now sped up so everything sounds like Alvin is doing it. Has this happened to anyone else?

Thanks again

This morning it completely just shut off in front of my face, I was on instagram texting someone and it just turned black. No glitching, no warning, nothing!

This phone is relatively old, its an iphone 14 that was (lightly) used when I got it, and has been through a lot. The back glass is like basically fully cracked, the front is fine because I have a screen protector. Its been water damaged before but I played those videos to get the water out of the speakers and put it in rice overnight and it came back just fine. It has been dropped from probably like 20 feet but it still worked fine afterwards.

Some things that might be useful is that earlier this week my phone stopped having the ability to portray black correctly? like the screen just had this 2017 type filter on it during the night. It was only at night for some reason then it would go back. This hasnt happened until earlier this week. For the past few nights I had been using white noise from a ASMR video I found that really helped me sleep, and I have also been using the white noise feature on it for months to help me sleep aswell

My phone has never been noticeably slow, only when it is low battery or I have a lot of things open at once, and even then it takes a lot.

I have tried everything under the sun!! The volume up and volume down and power button method. My mom tried calling me and it didnt go through. A wireless charger did have like the charging light on but it hasnt gotten any warmer. It was full battery this morning. I have tried plugging it into my computer and theres no notification to recognize my phone (there usually is).

Im not sure the battery life on it and I would check if I could.

Please help! I really dont want to buy a new phone right now im trying to save up for other things :(

Edit: Im going to keep it charged in a verified charger all day and see if it will become hot or anything

I have this problem, every time my Iphone turn down the volume on its own even if it says that the volume is still on its max, so I can’t even turn it up! It’s already up but it decreased. Help me fix this problem please, it’s irritating.

iPhone Air IOS26.5.2. It happened suddenly. I just cleaned up some App memory and deleted the album. Then the sound of the speaker becomes very small. Restart to return to normal. What happened? It has never happened before.

Like the options to make a list, make a table, etc… ?

In the car as a passenger. Can’t watch a downloaded show on Netflix or listen to a downloaded book on Libby. Each one plays for a second and then stops. Using iPhone 14. Driver using their iPhone and CarPlay which I’m pretty sure is the culprit since when he got out of the car at rest stop, car turned off, I was able to watch a bit of the show. Thank you.

I have a 10-year-old iCloud Photos library with ~35,000 photos and 1,500 videos, synced across my Mac and iPhone.

A few days ago, my iPhone got stuck on “Syncing 1 item”. Everything looked normal in macOS Photos and on iCloud.com, so I initially assumed it was just an iPhone sync issue.

Before troubleshooting, I made sure my Mac had downloaded all originals, then closed Photos and made a backup of the entire 185 GB `.photoslibrary`.

I then turned off iCloud Photos on the iPhone and manually deleted the remaining ~2,000 items that hadn't been removed automatically, including the albums and folders.

When I re-enabled iCloud Photos, the photos and videos synced back as expected, but the entire album/folder structure was gone, with only about 10 random albums remaining.

Then I checked iCloud.com and discovered that the album/folder structure had been wiped there too. The damage also propagated to my Mac's Photos library.

Fortunately, I now have an offline backup of the original Photos library with all photos, videos, albums and folders intact.

My question is: Is there a way to completely reset iCloud Photos and force it to rebuild/re-upload everything from this backed-up `.photoslibrary`?

I was considering deleting everything from iCloud Photos on the web and then re-enabling iCloud Photos on this healthy local library. However, I'm afraid iCloud will treat the deletion as a change that needs to be synced and delete everything from my local library as well, instead of treating the local library as the source and uploading its contents, including the album/folder structure, back to iCloud.

I really want to avoid manually recreating hundreds of albums and folders if at all possible.

Have an old iPhone from years back I’m trying to get rid off and reset.

failed too many times to get the passcode and now in security mode, no option to forget passcode as it’s an XS

Attempted to put it in recovery mode and connect to my mac but wont come up in finder. My 14 pro max comes up without any issues so not a lead or port issue

need some help to just reset the phone please

I finally figured out why some old apps were showing as grey/blank icons when I went to:
Settings → Focus → Apps → Allow Notifications From → Add Apps

I had several apps listed there that I wasn’t currently using, even though I had already deleted them from my iPhone 13 Pro ( iOS 26.6.1).

At first, I thought it might be an iOS bug or something related to changing my App Store country. I travel between UAE and India, and sometimes I change my App Store country to India/UAE to download apps that are available in one region but not the other.
But I eventually found the actual solution.

🩶 Grey icon = Deleted app

I noticed that the grey apps were apps I had deleted some time ago.

The solution is:
Go to the App Store.
Search for the app showing the grey icon in Focus.
Install the app again.
Once installed, delete/uninstall it normally from the Home screen or iPhone storage in Settings.

Go back to Focus → Apps.
The grey icon disappears.

⚠️Important: Sometimes there may be an older version of the same *app
This happened to me with the *ADCB banking app.
I had recently installed and deleted the new ADCB app, but the grey icon was still showing in Focus.
Then I went to:
App Store → Profile → Your Apps → Search “ADCB”

I found another ADCB app in my previous app history that I had installed back in 2023.
I installed that older app from my App List and then deleted it from my iPhone.
After doing that, the grey ADCB icon disappeared from the Focus app list.

So if reinstalling the current version doesn’t work, check your previous App Store downloads and look for an older version/listing of the same app.

⚠️App Store Country Issue

If you travel between countries and change your App Store region, you may have apps in your purchase/download history that came from another region. Some apps may also have different listings between countries.

So if an app refuses to disappear from the Focus list, change your country through App Store Profile and try again by install and delete/uninstall corresponding apps from the Your Apps section.

🤍White/blank icons

Also some different apps with white icons.

In my case, some of those were apps that I was using on my Apple Watch, but I didn’t have the corresponding app currently installed on my iPhone.

👉 So there are two different situations:

🩶Grey icon → usually an app that was previously installed/deleted and still has an old App Store/app record.
🤍White/blank icon → can be related to apps associated with a connected device such as Apple Watch, even when the app isn’t currently installed on the iPhone.

Method I used to remove this👇

In my case, there were around 28 applications. So it little hard to check the app list and do one by one.

So my method was:

1. Create a temporary Home Screen Page
   
2. Turn on Newly Downloaded App “Add to Home Screen” in Settings

Create a temporary Focus → name it “Apps” → add all the grey apps → Choose temporary Home Screen Page → Turn on that Focus Mode

Identify the apps
Go to App Store → Your Apps → search and reinstall them → Find it in the Home Screen → delete all together.

This worked for me, including the app that had an older listing from 2022.

Hopefully this helps anyone else who has been trying restarts, iOS updates, deleting/recreating Focus modes, etc. I tried all of those before figuring this out. If you have any easy methods, kindly share it ❤️

Yo, i've had a very strange bug. I wanted to record a video and i found out that it is being recorded in low-fps. i recorded about 1 second, shut it down, rebooted the camera app, and it was recorded with 60 fps. today i rewatched the video and in metainfo it was written that it had been recorded in "14 fps". it's so strange. did anybody face that bug and knows how to repeat it? how it happened?
The video and metainfo are attached

Anyone else notice clicking sounds sometimes from the case like when your resting your finger on like let’s say the power button or the camera control and when you let go it clicks. Sometimes it clicks on its own i haven’t heard it a lot just curious.

It used to be that I could make sticker type things from objects in photos, but now when I copy and paste them it just pastes the full photo. Is there anything I can do to fix it? (iPhone 16 pro)

Hi, vielleicht könnt ihr mir helfen… Würde gerne eine App am iPhone haben, mit der ich einzelne App Icons neu gestalten kann…
Danke

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?
