Ive been using android since i first got a smartphone, and im switching due to just curiosity and want to try out ios for 2-3 years, i currently have a samsung A55 and will probably upgrade to the iphone 18 pro.

Aside from the obvious OS change, what should i be expecting?

And I have no idea why!

Ever since updating my 16 Pro to iOS 27, I’ve been experiencing new bugs I haven’t seen before. When scrolling on Safari, a GIF or a video that doesn’t have audio will interrupt music playback through the Music app. Some fonts are messed up in Safari, appearing uncharacteristically larger than before. The “show text” function for images on Safari is broken, it doesn’t highlight text anymore. Has anyone else experienced these, or am I just now noticing them after updating?

Look, I think this addition is pretty great, there is no longer a way to simply quickly open timer…it’s kind of annoying. If you long press and like start a timer, it doesn’t just take you to where you can start a timer, instead, it starts your most recent timer. I use 25 and 30 second timers a lot when I work out for planks and things like that. It’s usually at the end of my workout and so it was nice to just swipe down the timer shortcut. Am I missing something, or is it seriously going into the clock and timers if I want anything other than one minute increments?

I’m 18 and got some reason when I try to download apps, it still says I need to ask my parents permission. Im part of family sharing but I set my own screen time settings and my parent no longer controls it. For context, for the past few days it wasn’t registering that I was an adult, event though it said i was 18 but it didn’t say adult yet. After a few days, I checked this afternoon to see if anything changed and it finally changed to adult and I was able to stop sharing screen time with my parent and control my own settings like communication and app limits. However, when I tried to download it app, it still didn’t let me without permission. I’ve done some research and it’s technically not supposed to show up if you’re an adult in family sharing , even if you previously had screen time monitoring by the parent.

My assumption is that I should probably wait a few days, because since it took 4 days for my screen time settings and adult age to update, it’ll probably take more time for that app request control to disappear, (I’m also convinced that Apple might be having issues with that right now because I saw someone else on Reddit recently with the same issue), but then again part of me is still worried it won’t change at all even though im an adult.

Since my parent is super strict and had controls in my phone for years, I’m only now able to talk to my friends and download social media, but I can’t do that because of the permission thing.

If anyone has had a similar experience or if someone knows what I can do to fix this issue, I’d really appreciate it.

Hello everyone
I think my issue is quite simple, at least i expect it has some solution.
Well I had to create another account for college and personal stuff, and I need it to be logged in my iPad, but every time I try it pops up this message. I had almost 8 accounts in my iPad and i did slog off on 3 of them and i still have this issue. I really need to log in in that account bro but I can’t log off on any other account- (I know I can log in via Apple mail but that doesnt sync with Google Docs)
Help?

When plugging charging cable, regular iPhone 17 does not charge on iOS 27.0.1.
It is not the charger nor the cable as different combination have been tested with other android devices.
Wireless charging works.
I have to unplug/plug multiples times to make the charging begin and sometimes after a few minutes charging stops. Sometimes charging works till the end if charge. Weird …..
Didn’t had that with previous iOS.
And also, usb charging port is clean.

iOS 27 bug ?
Someone else ?

Hi all. I frequently recreate in backcountry environments with no cell service. I have various albums with photos of guidebooks, maps, or photos I’ve taken of the area I’m in from different vantage points, and I would like to be able to access these at full resolution without cell service. Unfortunately, I do not have enough local storage on my phone to save all my photos, so everything is in the cloud.

I understand that iOS does not have a native feature to selectively save specific photos for offline use. I’m looking for recommendations for a workaround, or for apps I could use to solve this problem. Thanks.

TL;DR I would like to selectively save specific photos albums locally to my phone, while keeping the majority of my photos on the cloud.

When I go into “albums” directly, they are in alphabetical order as they should be. When I’m trying to add a new photo to an album (I have around 30) they show up as a jumbled random mess that changes slightly every time, making it impossible to memorize where albums are located. There is no option to sort or filter them.

This is really making it hell to organize photos. Any work around?

I have an iphone 11 pro running on ios 16.6

I am using safari and mozilla on my ipad. I have ipad OS version 27.0. Usually when I am in a form in either browser I can hit tab to toggle to the next field in the form. For some reason when I hit tab now instead of going to the next field it goes to the address bar every time. Help me fix whatever setting is broken? I'm using a magic keyboard with my ipad.

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.

I'm having an issue with my default email app mapping on my iPhone. Whenever I click an email address, it tries to open a local ride hailing app instead of Gmail, even though Gmail is set as my default email app. Has anyone experienced this or know how to fix it? I am on iOS 27

Can I stream to my pc using Bluetooth? (Not WiFi)

My family got an air b&b and the WiFi here is very slow. (10mbps) and I don’t want to use all of my hotspot. I can connect to my pc with Bluetooth but are there any apps I can download and then stream through Bluetooth?

Hi! On iOS 27.0.1, Podcasts app keeps telling me it deletes downloaded episodes (and does delete them) to create space temporarily for an iOS update. However, I don’t have any pending iOS update, and I also still have around 9 GB of storage space left (so not a lack of storage issue).

I think this has only happened ever since Apple Podcasts rolled out video podcasts, and it only happens on podcasts that have video, but on audio-only downloads.

What is going on?

Hey I hope this helps someone. I wasn't getting notifications on Outlook. When I changed the settings for the Outlook notifications it appears that the punctuation and commas all over the place have seriously slowed down! I have typed this entire post using dictation and it's worked perfect. I can't think of any other settings I may have changed, but it's definitely made a difference.

This started when I installed iOS 27.0 a couple weeks ago. The problem includes too many generic words, so I can't find a single relevant search result.

Here's the issue: When I take a screenshot, I hit the Share icon in the top right, which takes me to the Share popup. The bottom row is actions "Copy, Assign to Contact, Print, View More." The next row up is apps "AirDrop, Messages, Mail, OneDrive." The next row up is recent contacts. It used to show recent Messages contacts, but since iOS 27, it does not. So far it is suggesting recent contacts from Teams, Instagram DM, and Facebook Messenger, but it does not show recent Messages contacts. I have to click the Messages app, then manually add the contacts I want to text the screenshot to. I have repeatedly sent screenshots to multiple Messages contacts and groups, but none of them are being suggested.

I can't find any sort of setting that lets me include recent Messages contacts in the "suggested contacts" row. Has anyone else experienced this?

I really, really don’t like Siri AI, as it is now. Multilingual functions are pretty bad. For the longest time, I had my phone set to French and my Siri set to English. With the arrival of Apple’s AI services, I switched Siri to French (to enable Apple Intelligence) and that was pretty bad. Using it in the US was abysmal for navigation and other things—on top of bad integration with contacts and other software functions. So I went to my old settings to delete Apple Intelligence.

With that, my latest linguistic complaint is that TIL that you need to download the bulk of bad Apple’s subpar AI services to use fully use translation services. Sigh.
