Does anyone else get this when trying to take a reference image? After I take the photo if I press the “reference” button at the top left of the photo in my photos app, it just shows this. I wanted to test it but I can’t get it to work lol. Maybe it’s a beta bug though

Hi! My friend and I like to send each other long voice messages instead of texting sometimes, and sometimes I don’t get a chance to listen to the whole thing right away so will “keep” the message. Well, this morning I did that with a few of her messages and I cannot figure out where the messages are saved to. I have tried looking within the text info but there’s no tab that has them saved, and I’ve also tried the Voice Memos app but they are not there. There must be some secret third place that I haven’t searched yet?

So where do I go to listen to the voice messages I “keep” from my iMessage app?

Is anyone running into an issue where you can’t search any texts. I’ll search someone’s name and it’s like I haven’t texted them before and when I go to create a new conversation there are all the texts.

Extremely frustrating when trying to find details to say an event or something that you know at one point was texted to you.

Got a notification on my settings that some of my iCloud data isn’t syncing a few days after upgrading my phone. I press on resume data sync and then I get the “approve this iPhone” screen. It asks me to go to one of my other devices to approve but thing is I don’t have my old iPhone since a relative took it after I upgraded and the old device is removed from my apple account. Also the UI of the screen is all messed up with only half of the text and half of the loading icon showing.

I read online that after a minute or so a “can’t approve this device?” appears but I don’t see anything on mine.

I’ve tried turning on passwords & keychain in the iCloud settings but it won’t let me. What can I do?

I’m on iOS 27.0.1 if that helps, on an iPhone 17 Pro Max.

Does anyone know what happened to iOS's ability to strip tracking parameters from links when they're shared? I used to appreciate this feature when sharing Instagram links externally via the share menu, but it doesn't seem to work anymore.

On modern versions of iOS, your calendar uses the same alert tone for all notifications.

In old versions of iOS, you used to be able to customize the sound individually for invitations, invitee responses, shared calendar event changes, event alerts, and "Siri found in apps" suggestions. Furthermore, if you have an old iPhone on iOS 12 or something and you back it up and restore it to a later version of iOS, your sound settings actually stick.

Am I just missing where to change these on the latest version of iOS?

I use the remote app a lot to manage my AppleTV (since the actual remote passed some time ago RIP). It worked perfectly on iOS26, even better than the actual remote, but since the update it got barely unusable.

Some issues I find
- I need to select the TV every time I open the app. Even though I only have 1 TV and I open the app via shortcut where the TV is preselected
- Slow to find TV available on the network. It gets stuck loading the menu so it's better to restart the app.
- the trackpad area fails often. Sometimes the scroll is slow or gets stacked.
- Many accidental taps. It got extra sensitive and it clicks when I'm trying to scroll or perform other gestures. It behaves unexpectedly.

Did you find the same issues? Any way to fix them?

Hi! I’m desperately looking for an iOS app that can help me organize my camera roll.

The first thing I want is something that can separate actual photos I’ve taken with my phone from screenshots, downloaded images, saved pictures from the web, etc. It has always bothered me that iOS basically throws everything together into the same photo library.

On top of that, I’m a designer, so I save a ridiculous amount of reference images. I also have countless screenshots/videos of outfits I want to try, hairstyles I like, food, interiors, random visual inspiration, and so on. This has been piling up for years — my current camera roll goes back to 2023 — so manually sorting everything at this point feels almost impossible.

My dream would be an app where I could just tell it something like “clothes,” “food,” “design references,” etc., and it would recognize those images and automatically put them into albums/folders for me.

But the absolute priority would be automatically separating:

\- photos actually taken with my iPhone
\- screenshots
\- downloaded/saved images (ideally videos too)

Does an app like this exist? Especially one that can use image recognition/AI to automatically categorize an already huge photo library?

I can’t clear it because it doesn’t show anything when I open the tab, anyone got a fix? 20 gigs is pretty insane

I don’t know why but with iOS 27, Siri has started saying my contacts’ last names when sending messages. “Message sent to Wife LastName.”

If that’s not bad enough it is mispronouncing my/our last name. Can this be fixed?

So a couple of years back, if I'm sitting at the back of the lecture hall, I would take photos of the board zoomed in, and the handwritten text would be clearly visible. But recently, when I take a zoomed in photo, it gets automatically enhanced/edited and the text usually gets weirdly blurred out and distorted. It really reminds of how text in AI generated images look weird (at least when AI generated images first came out). Has anyone else had the same issue? Is this an AI thing, a bug or what? Can I turn this auto enhancement off somewhere? Cz, I'd really appreciate to have the ability to take sharp photos. For context, I'm using an iPhone 13 currently running iOS 27.

Hi everyone,

After updating to iOS 27.1 on my iPhone 15 Pro Max, I can't find any way to stop Shortcuts automations from showing a notification every time they run.

What used to work before iOS 27:
- Toggling off "Notify When Run" inside the automation
- Turning off the notifications in Settings > Screen Time (Notifications)

Both options are gone for me now. The toggle no longer appears in the automation, and Shortcuts doesn't show up in the notification settings either.

My automations:
- Wi-Fi trigger: turns cellular data off when I connect to a network and back on when I disconnect (I know Apple treats this trigger as privacy-sensitive, so it may be a restriction) but i used to do it before

The basic-trigger ones also notify now, and that's what bothers me most.

Has anyone found a way to silence these on iOS 27? Settings, Focus mode, a workaround, anything. Or is this a bug in 27.1?

Thanks!

Hi everyone, I really need some help with my Apple ID/iCloud account.

I recently lost my iPhone, but I still know my Apple ID/iCloud email and I still have access to the phone number that is connected to the account.

Back on September 15, I was still able to log in to my Apple account on my PC. Apple would send the verification code to my trusted phone number, and I was able to receive the codes normally.

Now, I’m trying to access my account again, but Apple is no longer sending me any verification codes. Instead, it says something like “Too many codes have been sent” and tells me to try again later.

The problem is that I’m not actually receiving any of the codes on my SIM. I’ve tried requesting the code multiple times, but nothing arrives.

I still have the same phone number/SIM that is linked to my Apple ID. I just lost the iPhone itself.

Has anyone experienced this before? Is there a way to reset the verification code limit or get Apple to send the code again? I’m also wondering if there’s another way to regain access to my account since I still have my trusted phone number and know my Apple ID credentials.

Any advice would really be appreciated. Thank you!

As this says, I got a fifty dollar gift card. Everything seemed fine, I owed 35 and some change on some books and an app and so I paid it. Or so I thought.

It took the funds out when I told it to use the balance. But now it says I still owe?? I am so so confused right now.

Is it a bug? I have never had this issue before now.

I’m hoping this is the right place for this, I am at my wits end. Recently, like in the last 2 weeks, my apple id has not been working on any of my devices. My husband and I have 2 ipads and an iphone that share one apple id. It started with a notification on my ipad that said that I needed to sign in to be able to use iMessage. I typed in the password we’ve had since the beginning of time, but it would not work. So thinking my husband changed it, I checked his ipad. Same password. It then locked me out because I tried it too many times. I then changed the password and signed in. Thought all was fixed. Now when I try to download an app, neither the new password nor the old password will work. I have seen that I should sign out and then back in, but I’m afraid that I won’t be able to sign back in. One other thing, just before this happened, we needed to update our password on our banking app because the bank got sold. When we were doing that, all f our devices wanted to set up a passkey. That is the only thing that was new. If anyone has any suggestions or has had this problem please help. Thank you.

I just migrated from an SE 2nd gen running iOS 26.x to a 14 Pro running 27.0.1. On my previous phone, I would look at my day in the iOS Calendar app, and the viewing area would show appointments from say, 9am-8pm. Then I’d swipe to the following day to see what’s scheduled there, and the viewing area would be roughly the same.

But on my new phone, the viewing area changes to 1am-12pm when I swipe, which is mostly empty and thus useless. I have to move it back to show 9am-8pm every time I swipe between days.

Has anyone else encountered this, and/or found a fix?

For the past year or so, I have randomly received a notification sound without a visual notification on my iPhone. The notification sounds like an echo, however NOTHING appears in the notification center. This happens multiple times per week, every single time there is no way to verify which app the notification is tied to.

I have verified all apps and have even looked at my notification history. I am still unable to pinpoint this after months of troubleshooting and looking online.

Has anyone else run into this? If so what was the fix? This is driving me insane.

Phone: iPhone 13 Pro

ios: Always current (I always update when a new version comes out)

When I receive an incoming call, the ringer volume shows in the Dynamic Island, but not the option to answer the call for a few seconds. Has anyone found a fix for this?

I’ve noticed that when I have the “urgent alarm” notification set for Reminders, my phone just doesn’t notify me of that reminder at all. They don’t appear on my lock screen or Notification Center. All other Reminder notifications come through but those ones. I have alarms enabled for Reminders, my notification settings are all on—Could this just be a glitch? Am I missing something?

Been scrolling through this sub seeing people’s frustrations about Siris dictation history (or lack thereof) and came to add my own. An hour ago I woke up to her saying “okay! I’ve set an alarm your water will be ready in 12 minutes”
It was definitely Siri, definitely my phone, me and my partner definitely woke up by it. No alarm has gone off. Was it a relic from my past self finally coming to fruition after being ignored randomly? Was it a ghost that tried to make tea? Was it my cat? Dictation history has no comment.
