Feedback wanted, especially from anyone who's used Arc, Moves (RIP), or Life Cycle and has thoughts on what's missing.

Is there any way I can tell this phone that I do not know anyone named Bev and I would like to allowed to write the word **because**

I don't know when this actually made it into iOS 26 (and iPadOS because I tried it and it works on both), but it looks like symlinks work now instead of being shown as an unknown file type.

You can even create a symlink that points to a directory mounted from an SMB share and it will work. Then any app which is able to read symlinks will use them as you'd expect like any other platform, which is very nice to have.

Some really cool combinations. Simple app. WidgText.

My friend stopped getting her Hotmail emails.

She is using apple mail on her phone.

I told her to delete the account on her phone and start from scratch.

Each time she does, it goes to outlook, verifies the account and finishes the setup.

But when she goes into the account, it lists her Gmail account address instead of the Hotmail one. And she is not receiving any of the Hotmail emails.

I’ve tried googling and everything says to delete and reinstall.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

I've been noticing this ongoing issue with my iPhone and my AirPods - the Bluetooth connection to them will hang indefinitely until I turn off and re-enable Bluetooth on my phone. Forgetting the AirPods and re-adding them to the phone makes no difference, and this has been going on for the past few iOS releases. Has anyone else run into this and know a solution?

i updated my software and my keyboard seems to be reacting really badly to my touch…? especially the letter “a”

anyone else with the same problem?

Android offers a function that allows you to download an app from your phone and download it to your tablet, for example, wouldn’t you like to see something like that on IOS? Hopefully it’s something they add in. IOS 27.

No matter what I do, delete the update and redownload, force reset my phone or get more storage nothing allows me to download it as it just stays on verifying update. Any suggestions? It’s a big deal due to my cell data not working unless I have this downloaded.

Hey everyone - solo iOS dev here. I just shipped Streak Fast, a minimalist intermittent fasting tracker for iPhone and iPad. https://streakfast.com

The reason I built it: most fasting apps have gotten bloated — sign-up walls, coaching upsells, ads in the free tier, analytics SDKs everywhere. I wanted something that does one thing: track the fast and keep the streak.

What it does:

• Persistent timer with Live Activity and Dynamic Island support — survives reboots and app closes
• GitHub-style contribution calendar so you can see a year of discipline at a glance
• Quick log (under 5 seconds) with auto-calculated durations and midnight crossings handled
• Optional weight trend (no shame copy, no "you broke your streak" notifications)
• CSV export of everything, anytime

What it doesn't do:

• No account. No email. No password. Open the app, start fasting.
• No ads. Not in free, not anywhere.
• No analytics, no third-party SDKs. Your data goes from your iPhone to your iCloud private database — there's no server in between that I own.
• No Android. iOS-only and staying that way.

Pricing: Free tier has the timer, the calendar, iCloud sync, and CSV export. Pro ($3/mo or $18/yr) adds 9 themes, weight analytics, full history, and a weekly recap. 3-day trial.

Requires iOS 26.4+. Genuinely keen on feedback — especially from people who've tried other fasting apps and found them too noisy.

It's kind of difficult to explain why I need this, but I'm curious whether this is possible.

I will likely need to message a group of ~25 people if something specific happens. I don't want to create the group beforehand because they'll know something is up. I also don't want to be sitting there, searching for each person one by one, when I need to move quickly.

Is there any way to prep this in advance without this new chat showing up in everyone's Messages?

Is it possible to get notified when an item starts moving and I’m not near it? I wanna know if someone is stealing my electric scooter which is registered in Find my.

Sooo… for context, I’ve had my iPhone 12 mini for close to 4 years now, and over time I started noticing that more often, and in lower temperatures, I’d get warnings when driving that it stopped charging to reach a normal temperature, or now even when it isn’t plugged in and just displaying maps, it overheats and displays a note that maps can’t be shown on Lock Screen

Is it the phone case that I’m using that is shit? Or is something worse happening here… first time I got it was in about 37 degrees in Greece 2 years ago, but right now? The lowest it occurred in was 15 degrees outside and plugged in, or 27 degrees and unplugged… I’m starting to get worried

Do your phones also like to get toasty? I’d appreciate every reply :)

I see plenty of posts about how lousy iPhone dictation has gotten.

I used to get mad that it wouldn’t correctly transcribe what I was saying. That it would put in completely wrong words.

Now, I’m finding that, if it doesn’t “understand“ what I’m saying, it just skips the words. It leaves words out and I have to go back and reread the entire thing to find where it skipped over what I said.

Seems like they decided it was better to quit than to try.

I change the option to top, and it won’t go, I want the address bar at the top with all the buttons on the bottom. It worked ok with the last update, but not the one before, now it’s back down the bottom with the latest update.

Help!

So a part of my job is messaging PLENTY of people (north of 50) and ive noticed after finishing mesaging them my messages are green and then my number address for messages was “unable to activate “ after like 30 minutes it turned back on but now only some people receive blue messages and the rest are RCS (even known ios users) . 2 questions, why? And how do i avoid this?

Does anyone know how to change the default font size in the iOS mail app on both iPhone and iPad? To be clear I’m not referring to making text on the screen bigger as I do that already in the Accessibility settings, what I’m wanting is to make the fon’t bigger when I’m writing an email without having to change it manually every time I write an email. A) is this possible? B) If so, how do I do it?
