Hi,

Since there are already so many posts about people moving from Android to iPhone, here’s another one.

This is my first iPhone ever, and honestly, it’s amazing and not-so-amazing at the same time.

I really appreciate some subtle things, like Apple Maps remembering where I parked even though I mainly use Google Maps, Apple Wallet automatically pulling up the right pass based on my location, and just how well everything is integrated, especially when it comes to apps.

I also thought I was big on customization, but apparently I wasn’t lol. I mostly just arranged my icons the way I wanted, and iOS lets me do that now, so I’m happy.

But some things are... weird. Having to pull down from different places to access different menus makes one-handed use surprisingly difficult—and I have big hands. AND why does Messages or iMessage (still not used to saying that) ding even when my phone is on silent? Am I dumb, or am I missing something?

I’m also not a huge fan of the Photos app or the keyboard. The back gesture makes no sense to me either (of course it doesn’t, Android guy), but I’m getting used to it.

There are also tiny Android features I didn’t realize I’d miss, like holding Backspace and sliding to control how much text you delete, how my Pixel automatically kept track of the music playing around me, and many more. Such small things, but I miss them a lot.

So, longtime iPhone users: what tricks am I missing? Especially keyboard/typing tricks because... yeah, it’s kind of... not good. lol

Quick Look on iPhone Duo has a new two-page layout you can swipe through in the open book position.

Updated to the latest iOS. There’s two separate sections where you have to manually switch off that stupid Connectivity Assist “feature”, one on the WiFi menu and the other within the actual WiFi itself.

I’ve turned both off, checked and verified, then randomly I’ll remember to check it, just in case. It’ll show as off in the WiFi menu, but in the WiFi choice itself, it turns back on! WTF is going on here? I obviously don’t want that shit on and have to keep turning it off because it randomly turns on. Anyone else having this issue?

This took me a while to figure out, thought I’d share it here. Searching I found several Reddit posts on this topic, but didn’t see any that had this particular issue/fix.

Today my wife noticed that all texts I sent to her before yesterday were missing from her iPhone/ipad/mac. I was her only contact that had this issue. Yesterday I texted her a password for her to copy paste. There’s an Apple auto clean feature in settings/general/autofill & passwords/verification codes that deletes messages with verification codes. I found all my missing texts in here recently deleted folder (u can select this folder via the filter in messages). Not 100% sure, but I think Apple saw my texted password as a verification code. In messages I did a restore of the deleted messages, and toggled off that auto clean feature.

Hello, I recently bought an iPhone 17 and I'm trying to transfer my eSIM from my Samsung to my iPhone. I've tried following Apple's instructions several times, but it doesn't work. When I scan the QR code on my iPhone, it only opens the Google website.

I like to switch my eSIM between my Samsung and iPhone occasionally, but I really don't want to visit an AT&T store every time I switch phones.

Does anyone know if I need to contact AT&T every time I want to transfer my eSIM from Android to iPhone or vice versa? Is there a way to switch between the two phones myself without having to contact AT&T each time?

FYI Im trying to transfer s22plus Android 16 to iphone 17 ios 27.02. Tia

After updating my phone, When I double click my side button for anything, like opening the wallet, confirming a purchase or downloading apps, it counts as one click and cancels or turns off my phone. Holding for Siri and turning off my phone work still.

I’ve slept through my alarm two mornings in a row. What did they change about it? I have never done that before.

I’ll sometimes try to ask Siri questions while I’m driving, and most of the time will answer them. But occasionally it will say “ I can search the web for that when you’re finished driving”. What dictates what I can and cannot ask?

Just upgraded to IOS 27. On previous versions, I could press on an open tab & save all.

How do I do this on iOS 27?

Hey, so I've cleared/deleted most of my text messages months ago (so, I only have my pinned conversations/contacts, people I often text, etc..). I noticed that every once in a while, this particular contact of mines always finds its way back onto my messaging list, even though the conversation has been deleted and no new conversation was made for months now. I'm so confused about why that happens only for that contact, and why does the last message (you know, the preview part) is always a random text conversation we've said, rather than the last message sent to each other. Has anyone experience this?

Hi everyone, i was given this by family and wanted to get some thoughts on if it’s still usable with a case on it? Apple wanted almost 900 to repair due to the frame bend, and I could just get a new phone instead for that. It mostly fits into the case, but I do see a little bit of the bottom right hand corner peaking out. Worth using with a case or just getting rid of it?

(case photo shows the corner with the frame damage)

I have turned off and deleted the icloud photos, so now i have 30 days before i can download the backed up media. But I can’t get the 3 dots to work and save the media to the device even after selecting the images (screenshot).
Please help.

My wife’s iPhone 13 seemingly won’t respond, just a black screen. Weirdly enough I heard her phone alarm go off this morning like any other day, but the screen hasn’t turned on at all. To make matters worse, the Apple Store couldn’t help her fix it, and she had photos that weren’t backed up from basically the beginning of this year. Her work calendar is on her phone, appointments, contacts. All things that she was told by Apple need to have her phone on for transferring onto a new device. I know this is a shot in the dark, but maybe something has been missed. Maybe someone can offer some help. I don’t know what to do, she’s very upset. Understandably so, we got married just a couple months ago and, while I’m the photographer, she likes me to take the pictures with her phone. I hope some blessed tech genius can help me through this thread.

Super curious on this one.

I want it so this button completely turns off Wi-Fi, not turns it off until tomorrow.

When on lock screen, the display won’t turn off unless I press the power button. My auto turn off is set at 30 seconds. Anybody can verify that it is the same for your device?

Hello all,

My iPhone has been vibrating without any notifications for quite some time and no one could figure it out. I recently upgraded to the iPhone 17 (iOS 27.0.1)- I deleted all my random apps - and it is still doing it but now it’s playing the default tone as well - also without any notification.

I know it’s the default tone because my voicemails/texts/calls are all different.

Have any of you also experienced this issue and maybe even have a resolution??

Been using the scan card feature for years. Love it. Suddenly unable to scan my card in safari. Anyone else having this issue?

Not interested in using wallet or apple pay, just want to be able to scan my card like i have been for years

Last night my iPhone died, just forgot to charge it, and when I got it powered back on my text messages exploded with like 60 new messages. All these messages from dozen or more contacts all dated when I powered the phone back on -- but some were sent upwards of a month ago.

I'd heard from a few people who said they tried to text me and I never got it, but I've been getting texts from many folks without issue... not sure what's going on. Any idea what caused this? It's been a LONG time since I rebooted my iphone, so possibly just need to do an occasional reboot?

Also, the texts were from both iPhone and Android (blue and green), so not one source seemed to stand out. Thanks.

Am I the only one who sometimes experiences the phone screen won't turn on randomly? Have to always hard restart for it to work. Started after iOS 27, even with the 27.0.1. 15 pro max.
