i have had the new update ios 18.4 on my ipadPro, 3rd generation since yesterday. Now I can't find the new integration "apple intelligence" - why? I also got the message that I now also have apple intelligence... but where?

so im basically an android user since birth, but im thinking of switching to an iphone... mostly for the camera quality since i like taking photos or selfies and videos i dont really play heavy games and my usage over all is lite.

ive looked into Pixels and other mobiles but i found everyone saying iphone cameras surpass them.all.

im just really scared of the people who said it was so hard and went back to android and stuff so idk..

i need your advice or experience :)

I want the exact same moon but as a photo because Astronomy wallpapers consume a lot of battery. I tried to remove app icons with Adobe but I got a bad result. Who knows what else can I do?

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?

Hey everyone! I guess I’m not the only one who takes a bunch of random photos of everyday stuff for quick chats or just to keep in mind. There are heaps of photo cleaning apps I’ve tried, but they usually do two things:

1. they find duplicate photos (which I find kinda useless);
2. or they make you go through every single picture (which I find way too time-consuming).

I recently started learning Swift, and I thought I’d give this problem a go. So, I published my first app:

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/snapsweep-remove-junk-photos/id6744117746 (I modmailed the subreddit yesterday before posting this, but I didn’t mean this to be just about the app itself, I wanted to chat about the whole issue.)

I’m a newbie, so sorry if the app is a bit rough around the edges. But it surprisingly works well (it uses an AI model on your device to find these potential junk photos) and has helped me and my family and friends get rid of thousands of useless photos and free up a ton of storage space. So, hopefully you find it useful too! Anyway, what do you reckon? Or what other ways do you deal with this problem?

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.

Got a new phone a few days, ago, got everything transferred, saw my iCloud storage usage shot up and saw that there are now two different backups for 5GB on my new phone and old phone.

Can I delete the old phone’s backup and no issue?

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?

Title says it all. See photos. My notifications come in throughout the day and decide to bundle themselves into one of several sets of notifications of the same app. Why don’t they all congregate to the same bundle? Doesn’t matter which app, many behave this way. I have an iPhone 13 mini on iOS 18.3.2.

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

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?

As in title, my alarm no longer goes off and I don’t receive notification sounds and vibrations on iMessage which caused me to miss several msgs already

The alarm one suffice to say, will make me late for work and has happened since the last 2 days

Hello, My daughter has an iPhone 12 with iOS 18.3.2 and I have an iPhone 15 pro with iOS 18.4. We are in the same family group. I have set up screen time restrictions with an access code, 3h max for all apps. Unfortunately, she manages to get around the time restriction by restarting her phone when the time is up, and then she often gets extra time, from a few minutes to a few hours, before the restrictions apply again. Are you aware of this problem? Is there anything I can do to make this function work as intended?

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?

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

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!

Note: This method applies to .aiff files. Results may vary with .m4a extension.

1.  Find the .aiff file in your iPhone’s Files app.
2.  Rename the file extension from .aiff to .mp3 (it will become unplayable).
3.  Send the renamed file to a second iPhone via AirDrop or text.
4.  On the second iPhone, the file will arrive as a .amr and will be playable.
5.  Save the .amr file to the Files app.
6.  Rename the extension from .amr to .mp3. It should still be playable.
7.  Send this new .mp3 file back to the original iPhone.
8.  On the original iPhone, repeat steps 5–6
- [ ] Save to Files
- [ ] Rename from .amr to .mp3

File should now be playable as an mp3 on the original device.

If I hide photos in my hidden album are these still visible when you connect your phone to a computer and open the Apple folder to view photos on my PC?

Does anyone know where to find it? I’ve searched all over Settings and can’t find it. It seems to be a glitch or accident tally removed with the new iOS 18.4 update.

I would like to create a quicker access to the “reduce white point” function in the accessibility/display section, like a shortcut widget or something similar.

trying to add a video, i converted it from mp4 to MP4/MOV (videocodec MPEG-4 and audiocodec MPEG-4 Audio/AAC), but it won’t sync on my phonr
