Not able to turn it on after i reset it, it has become a loop while trying to turn it on please help

My father has a iphone 6+ ios version 12.5.7 and his all data is in it, his WhatsApp and all gallery. He wanted to switch to another phone but as of latest updates WhatsApp won't work on his phone and if it's not he cannot update it/back it up. He has important data in his WhatsApp I tried switching it through 3utool and tried sending data such as images to his android by Zapya but none of those help Anyone having same issue or any idea how to resolve that is much appreciated

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

Is someone mirroring my phone? I’ve swiped up and closed all of my apps and i’ve gone on accessibility and voice control is already switched off, why is it still blue?

The search bar and suggestions are huge and ive looked thru all the settings and cant fix it, my text size is default and no settings are different that I can think of. Please help it looks so bad. Thank you

My sister's iPhone 14 screen has suddenly stopped working (it’s still on). It was working earlier today, but now the screen is completely unresponsive to touch. I’ve tried force restarting it, removed the cover and screen protector, but without success.

Can anybody help? 🤞🏻🤞🏻

(Unsure which IOS)

i’ve tried resetting everything and it’s still like this. my left airpod also makes a weird buzzing sound

Okay so I have around 9gb worth of photos and videos on my phone that were initially uploaded to the cloud and deleted from my phone, but when I was sharing them, they were downloaded from the cloud and now they aren’t being deleted. Optimise storage is on

iPhone XR iOS 18.3.2

Hey I need some help , so I’m about to sell my iphone (14pro) it’s my first iphone in like 10 years, I only used it for two months and I need to know what should I do before I sell it like how to delete things properly for my privacy and how to back up the data I have here and is it possible to retrieve it later in an android phone. Appreciate all the info ; thanks!!

I want to transfer my pics and videos from iPhone through USB to my PC (Windows).

If noticed that some month-folders contain only a few pictures, while for some months there are no folders at all. I understand that in such cases the missing photos (or whole folders) result from the fact that I have option "Optimize iPhone storage" enabled - could you please confirm this?

If I switch to "download and keep originals" and photos / folders start to appear, will it mean that they are in the best codec / format available (mov/mp4/m4v)? I want to avoid downloading these blurry/lower quality photos or videos.

iPhone 12, iOS 18.3.1.

This is a bit hard to explain so I apologize if my question and what I’ve tried/thought of so far is difficult to understand.

I use an 8bitdo zero 2 remote in keyboard mode to navigate my iPad Pro (3rd gen) running 18.3.2 by using switch control mode (under Accessibility). It’s been super convenient if I’m in bed or on a treadmill as I don’t need to touch the screen or my keyboard if it’s folded up or disconnected and can just use buttons on my remote. I’ve made custom recipes so that when I use a certain recipe in certain apps, for example YouTube, I can pause or fast forward with the remote. However the two things I haven’t figured out how to do yet are to take a screenshot (like swiping in from the corner) or to find a way to press a letter/number like I could with my keyboard.

• Whenever I try to make a custom gesture to screenshot by swiping from the corner, it takes an actual screenshot and won’t capture the gesture on the custom gesture recording. I know a screenshot can be done with assistive touch but that would require me to disable my switch control as it seems they are mutually exclusive.

• For choosing a letter, I use a question bank app that would allow me to pick answers by either clicking the bubble next to the answer choice on the screen or using A-D or 1-4. However the length of the question and thus where on the screen the answer choices appear changes so I cannot use a custom gesture because it wouldn’t work with my questions. And sometimes there are more answer choices so an extended range like E-J would be needed. So far I can only use a physical keyboard as the app doesn’t generate an on screen keyboard like you could get in the Messaging or Notes app but I’m not always near the keyboard or sometimes it’s folded away (like on an iPad holder) which is why I want the remote ability to pick a letter or number. I don’t know if there was a way to make a gesture of a letter/number that could translate to an equivalent of clicking it on a keyboard if that makes sense

Would love to know if someone has found a way to do something like this.

I have a broken pin in my charging port (according to apple)

The phone charges sometimes but not others. Is there anything that can be done to fix this other than replacing?

iPhone 14 max pro

I swear it wasn’t there before

This happened yesterday and I didn’t take a screenshot as I immediately took away access,which caused the settings app to then crash. I’ve been unable to replicate it since then no matter what I’ve tried, so do you think it was a bug or something malicious? If it helps I updated to IOS 18.4 on Monday and it’s still been completing that update in the background until earlier today. I am also really paranoid in general so if anyone could help put my mind at ease that would be great :)

Edit to add: I’m on iPhone 16 and I meant privacy and security instead of privacy report

Right, I woke up this morning and seen on my gfs phone, that a call from yesterday was from telegram with her exes name and bracket 2. I asked about it, but looked through telegram and he was not on there at all his number was blocked. I then gave her her phone back and she checked the phone call logs and it disappeared. Is this a glitch or did she ring him, or him ring her somehow

As the title says. About two weeks ago my phone started to turn the volume down to levels barely audible whilst listening to music or watching videos. The volume is stable when listening via headphones.

Sound check is off, EQ is off, I’ve checked content & privacy restrictions and given the speakers a clean. Currently running IOS 18.3.2

Any help would be much appreciated. It’s driving me mad! Thanks in advance.

i had my iphone 13 from past 3 yrs now i am facing this charging problem where it was disconnecting it self after i move my wire and today it completely stop charging , so i tried to check what is the main cause of the problem that , first i tried to clean the port with toothpick and its super clean , then i tried new wire the Belkin MFI certified cable and tried my macbook tyoe c port then the macbook charger then diffrent socket too no sign of charging , then i thought my phones port is fucked but i tried my wired eapphons using the apple lighting to 3.5mm DAC it detect it and it works completely fine, and there is no distortion at all, and there is no formation inside the port and all the pins alright inside the port, I recently updated to the new new software update, iOS 18.4 I think it could be because of this new update. I think so, but if there is any solution for this, please tell me as soon as possible. Tell them I'll try the MagSafe wireless charger, but I want to know the exact reason why my phone is not charging

so i want to know how can i resolve this issue , what is causing the issue . without spending too much

This sounds like a weird question but I promise you it's a simple premise. I am using Apple Fitness+ and using an HDMI-USBC cable to mirror my screen to my TV. In this app, you play a workout video and various metrics are overlaid on the screen like your BP, time elapsed, song playing, etc.

Now, when I mirror my screen and begin playing a workout, the TV stops mirroring my screen and begins just mirroring the video. On the phone screen it says "TV connected" and "This video is playing on the TV" but the overlays are not on the TV, because they are not technically part of the video. The video plays fine.

I want to see the overlays on my TV. This would be easily remedied if I could simply mirror the screen and not have it switch over to video mirroring, but I can't find an option for that anywhere. Is there any sort of workaround or something I'm missing for this to work?

iPhone 15 Pro, 18.3.2

My boyfriend got an android a few months ago. and I have his location on Life360…. But sometimes and only sometimes my find my friends on my iPhone try’s to track him. It just says no location found. Does that mean he still has the phone? Why does it still try to track him? It even tells me that he can see my location. Just confused I guess. Anyone know?

So it says I don’t have enough storage to backup my iPhone and I was wondering if I deleted my back ups and then ran a back up would I be fine or would I just completely ruin all my shit

Hey guys, I don’t really know much about tech but I bought a second hand unlocked phone from vinted, an iPhone 4 and have tried 2 SIM cards. My one which is three mobile and a lyca sim card but it keeps popping up with “sim not supported” I can’t open settings because the phone isn’t set up. The person who sold me the phone listed it as “sim unlocked” so I thought this wouldn’t be an issue, anyone got any tips?

Hello all!

Hoping someone can help us troubleshoot?

I just updated my 15 pro max yesterday to the 18.4 IOS. Not sure if it’s my phone that has the issue or my cousin’s phone or something else going on, but her 14 pro max is updated to iOS 18.3. Unsure if that matters at all?

All day yesterday, my cousin and I were hanging out while she was packing for an international trip. Before I went home, she asked me to check the Find My app to make sure it was working for safety reasons as she is traveling alone.

She is sharing location with me from her iPhone, and the location toggle from the location services/privacy setting is on. She can see my location. I have all of my settings on as well, including Bluetooth, cell service, etc. We tried turning WiFi on and off with no success, and turned a bunch of other settings on and off as well and turned phones on and off but it still says “no location found.”

She mentioned that she realized she was sharing location with an ex boyfriend on some Apple Family Sharing app (I guess they’re still using some shared Apple services? Idk how it works) so she turned off the locations of those devices the other day. So maybe that messed up all of her location services?

Even before updating to new IOS, some of my friend’s locations on Find My would just spin endlessly before stating “no location found.” It would generally resolve by a day or two though. It’s still not working today. Just sucks because we wanted to figure this out before she leaves tomorrow!

Has this happened to anyone else? Tips? Tricks?

My iPhone was in for repair due to a broken display. During the repair, only the glass was replaced, not the entire display unit. According to the repair shop, this is done with a laser. When I got my iPhone 13 back, I unfortunately noticed that my rear camera is damaged. The repair shop claims that the damage could not have been caused by them. Is this true? Or can you reassure me and agree that the damage definitely came from a laser?
