Hi, our toddler has a daily screen time on her iPad. She is mostly using it listing radio play. But we observed that her day to day consume is longer than the screen time. She is turning off the screen, of course. Seems this is not counting on screen time. Any suggestion how we can stop the music app after 1-2h, linked to the screen time?

As far as I can tell, the long-press menu for Reminders is supposed to show the option to “Add To” the top four lists you have in the app.

I recently reordered my in-app lists but the changes aren’t reflected in the long-press menu. I’ve closed the app and restarted the phone.

Is there a way to force it to change?

I’m on a 15 Pro Max with the latest stable software.

Hello, lets say that i have 2 apps Nike and Adidas.

Is there any way to create group named lets say "Shopping" so any notifications on notification list from these apps will be grouped together?

I saw this guy post on his story about building an automation that analyses trading markets and sends personalised updates. I want to create something similar but for personal growth. Basically the idea is to set up a system that gives you daily, customisable reminders based on your goals and weaknesses. E.g if someone struggles with procrastination, it could send a message like, “Procrastination is taking away from your progress, stay focused today,” or something related to fitness, productivity, their purpose or even spiritual reminders. The goal is for it to feel like an AI coach that adapts to your journey and keeps you on track, with daily voice reminders that grow with you. I think he’s using telegram and iPhone automations? Any help is appreciated :)

I got my iphone a week ago and it is running on ios 18.4. But the AI is not activating/Downloading it shows like(screenshot attached) since i dont have wifi i had to rely on cellular data. Do i really need wifi to download? Coz i tried once by connecting wifi but it didnt showed any signs of download. What do i do to activate AI

I had my junk mail managed pretty well. Most of what I want in there is automatically moved once it hits my mailbox. Woke up this morning and now there are 3k junk emails in All Mail and none in my junk mail folder. No updates were done. I didn’t change anything. Why does this happen and can this be fixed or do I need to manually go through my entire all mail box?

Hey all,

I’ve been having issues with Safari searches on my phone for quite a long time now. Figuring out why these issues happen has been very difficult for me, despite my best efforts. My primary issue is that every now and then I’ll search something on Safari, say “Applebee’s,” to figure out their hours. The search gets hung up and never completes. I then tap the bar to refresh the search, only to see that the text I put in has deleted itself.

It’s happened so many times this morning (minimum 20) that I am now posting on Reddit for help. While retyping “Applebee’s” into the search is easy, retyping “Safari deleting search term from bar during loading site:reddit.com” is a pain in the f’ing ass. Anyone know what the issue is? My best guess is if the connection isn’t great, it fails and the tab ignores the previous search prompt? I’m honestly so sick of this happening. Should I just set up Chrome or Firefox as the default browser?

Often, while watching something on Apple TV, this icon comes up, sometimes saying a family member’s name and their FaceTime. I find this very distracting and would like to turn it off. But no idea how to.

Please help.

We built a house last year and a friend was visiting yesterday for the first time. I greeted him and had my phone in my hand. He asked me who built our house, I said my builder’s full name and then some details around the process etc.

I check my phone an hour later to a text from my builder “was that meant for me?” I look at the message above and it is a loose transcript of what I was saying to my friend, and it had SENT to my builder! I said nothing bad, but was so confused- does anyone know how this could have happened?

I got a 16PM a few weeks ago and so far I’m surprised by how forgettable Apple Intelligence is. I don’t use Siri for much anyway (because it has been useless for as long as I can remember) but unless it’s something like a timer, it seems to pass EVERY query to ChatGPT now. It means that asking a simple question becomes tedious because there’s always the prompt where it asks for permission before sending it to ChatGPT and this happens with even basic questions that should be easily retrieved from a Google scrape. I’ve seen the writing tools, they’re decent and image playground is fun for like 5 minutes but I have no actual use for it.

I was somewhat hopeful for AI - particularly Siri improvements but so far I’m pretty underwhelmed.

Have any of you found interesting uses or things I’m maybe overlooking?

Updated to 18.4 all haptics not workings. Keyboard/ringtone. No vibration at all. All settings are on accessibility and sound and haptics.

Hey, I’m looking to move fully from iCloud to Google and would really appreciate some advice on how best to do it.

Right now, I’m paying for iCloud’s 2TB plan, but I’ve recently subscribed to Google One AI Premium for Gemini, which also gives me 2TB of storage, so it makes more sense to use that instead.

I want to transfer everything — photos (including Live Photos if possible), iCloud Drive files, and device backups — and ideally have something similar to iCloud Drive’s Finder-style sync on my Mac.

Has anyone done this and can share the best way to migrate everything smoothly? Thanks in advance!

why does it say this if my highest is 3 mins..

Hi,

Unfortunately, the microphone on my daughter's phone doesn't work very well during regular phone calls. However, voice memos, WhatsApp voice messages, and calls made using the speakerphone work perfectly.

We’ve tried the following:

• Cleaning the microphone
• Resetting the iPhone
• Replacing the microphone

Unfortunately, none of these steps have worked so far.
Does anyone else have an idea what might help?

Thanks!

I have an iPhone 16 pro Max. And the mobile phone works perfectly, but I think that after updating there must be some problem with the wireless connection, I will explain why. I have several groups of HomePod speakers at home, and they also work well I have the problem when the HomePod needs the mobile phone to be connected to the same wireless network to perform some actions, for example when I ask a HomePod to execute a shortcut or when I ask a HomePod to send a WhatsApp message. In this case, the HomePod's response is that it cannot find the mobile phone and that it checks that it is on the same wireless network. And obviously he is, or so I think. With the phone I have not had any problems since the update in terms of use and wireless line connection, I only have this problem with the HomePods when they require the phone to be connected to do some actions, as I have already mentioned. after updating to version 18.4. I deduce that this update brings some compatibility problem. I don't know if the connection problem is really with the HomePods or the iPhone, but as I mentioned, they all work fine, except when they have to do some joint operation. I would like to know if any of you have the same problem and if you have found a solution, although I think the solution will be to wait for an update. I remember many months ago having a similar problem and that it ended up being solved with an update and I imagine that this time it will be the same. It's hard for me to understand how with operating system updates, things that used to work well stop working. It is always the case that when new functions are added, others stop working. Is it so difficult not to modify what works well? It seems so, although I understand that not touching what works. It is the first computer science standard. Anyway, it would calm me down to know that I'm not the only one who has this problem and also if there is a solution that I may have overlooked. Thank you

I'm thinking about buying a 16 base, mostly because it has 2 new buttons. I want to change the action button from silent switch to something else. How can i toggle the ringer without using the button? I have never muted/unmuted my phone using anything else but the silent switch

I’ve updated to iOS 18,4 and it still said that apple intelligence is downloading and at times it’s been downloading then it disappears and it was on 90 something % last time it popped up but idk if it’s still downloading or not just Disappeard Btw am in EU

Today out the blue my WhatsApp crashed, so I just closed the app like many times before. However, everytime I open it works for a few seconds and then the app freezes.

I tried everything. restarted the iPhone, reinstalled the app, updated to the last ios version, and nothing worked.

Has anyone also had this problem?

Hi everyone, I recently got an iphone 16, my last phone was a 12. We went to the store yesterday to trade in our old phones now that all our data had been transferred over. I've been trying to figure out fully all the new things this phone can do. One thing I am unsure of how to do phone is generate AI Images based off of another image on demand. I've had some success but I am not sure I am correctly understanding the process.

At the store, the seller was on the newest samsung galaxy, and he had showed us how he was able to just bring up a photo of someone (he had a picture of his dog) and then write to the AI assistant a change to the photo he wanted generated (typed "give the dog in this photo angel wings"), then the AI generated a realistic image of the dog in that photo with generic angel wings. The next command he had wrote was something requesting a further change to the photo, which the AI generated another image based off of the last one.

While silly I did think it'd be fun to play around with myself if the iphone was capable.

I'm pretty sure it is but I don't know exactly how to get it to function the same way as described on that other persons android phone.

I opened image of my cats, double tapped the bottom of the phone screen to pull up type to siri, asked it to remove the chair in the background of the photo. It asked if it could send the photo to GPT, I hit yes, it processed and then GPT responds with a message "I cant edit images directly, but you can use photo editing tools like ...." and then lists things like photoshop and such.

I am unsure how, but I had gotten something to work following the same line of logic, I didn't like the style generated but I did get it to generate an image themed around my cat photo and turning them into dragons. I also somehow had it generate an image of my cats on my bed with angel wings, but in this image it also generated a fun not real third bonus cat!

Is anyone familiar with trying to do something like this?

Apple really should differentiate the iOS software update, if the model does have new feature

Why the fuck does old model have to upgrade if we dont have new features the new model exclusive?

Apple really shouldnt release one software update that require all model upgrade

This black dot shows up sometimes doesnt leave for hrs.. it goes away than it comes back again after some time than goes and come back.

What is it and why is it happening?

I have a iPhone 16 plus.

is there a ios 19 beta/developer beta to download right now? i wanna have ios19/ipados19 so bad but the beta isnt out yet...

I just updated to 18.4 and noticed when connected to Bluetooth devices which AREN’T my AirPods that the music visualization is gone, and I have to wonder what the logic behind that was. Like no shit I’m connected to a BT audio source, my music doesn’t beam itself to my car using telepathy. Honestly it was my favorite part of the island because I really don’t use anything outside of timers that utilize it.
