    iOS 16 on older iPhones

    Hi, I just wanted to share my (positive) experience with iOS 16 on my iPhone 8. I was a bit scared due to the nightmare experience that the switch from iOS 14 to iOS 15 was for me. With iOS 15 the system became much slower and I also had often bugs like the phone not responding. A major...

    iPhone 14 Pro Max New iPhone not syncing all my old texts and recent calls?

    Anyone else have issues restoring their new iPhone and having missing missing texts and recent calls? I restored first and started getting all my apps logins in order but then after all that I noticed I'm missing a chunk of older texts and all my recent calls. I'm assuming I need to restore...

    I tried using the new weather wallpaper and even the wallpapers with weather widgets and it seems like they are draining my battery. I was looking in my location settings and weather was turned on to always use location with precise turned on. Has anyone else noticed battery drain with these...

    iPhone 14 Pro Max System Data - Storage Full - iPhone 14 Pro Max

    Hey, looking for some support. Received my iPhone 14 Pro Max 256gb yesterday and after 24 hours I’m getting the “iPhone storage full” notification which can’t be true as I’m using 80gb tops. When I checked the storage in settings, looks like system data is maxing out. I turned the phone on...

    Amazon Music users having issues on iOS 16?

    Any Amazon Music users having sound quality issues with iOS 16? I realize the app still needs to be updated post iOS 16, so maybe that'll solve it. But the sound quality is... cramped... that's the best way I can describe it. Playing the same song in Amazon Music and Apple Music is like...

    Suspicious app in "Background app refresh" menu?

    After updating to iOS 16 and going to "Settings/General/Background app refresh" I've found an app called "Web" without icon that apparently is not installed in my iPhone (no way to find it). Do you have the same on your device? Or it is something that shouldn't be there? Please let me know :)

    Can’t choose a Lock Screen without focus changing it back???

    So it turns out that if you have more than one Lock Screen and choose any of them besides the first one, it will automatically revert to the first one every time you switch focus on or off. This is crazy. I honestly thought the whole point of being able to create different lock screens would be...

    iOS 16 - Can’t share to iMessage group anymore

    iPhone 11 Pro user here. I just updated to iOS 16. I’m trying to share a webpage to my iMessage group chat using the ‘share’ icon in Safari, but when I type the first few letters of the group name, the auto-complete doesn’t find the name of the group. It’s like it doesn’t exist even though the...

    Deleting managed Wi-Fi networks

    Being able to edit the Wi-Fi network list on iOS 16 is a welcome feature. But I noticed that “Managed Networks” cannot be deleted. Does anyone know why? These networks appear to be associated with the carrier SIM. But their details must be stored on the phone or in iCloud; there’s a managed...

    iOS 16 autocorrect/predictive text issues

    Maybe this has been covered, and maybe I’m just being a dolt, but my iPhone 13 Pro on iOS 16 (as of 7 hours ago) seems to suddenly use multiple languages to choose from for autocorrect and predictive text dictionaries when writing in English. It is not a language I am familiar with. It mostly...

    IOS 16 update and wifi issues

    Just updated to IOS16 yesterday. Tried a hard restart after wifi connection issues, but no love. My 11Pro is now very slow to recognize there is wifi around, and either takes its sweet time connecting to what is there, or may not connect at all. Seems to least like my schools Wi-Fi and the...

    iOS 16 Battery Drain Thread

    Why is nobody talking about this? Running on a 13 Pro and I'm getting noticeable battery drain compared to iOS 15.6.1. Anyone else having the same issue? Can't imagine the battery drain on older phones. I had to recharge mid way through the day (I don't allow my phone to dip below 30% to keep...

    Am I being daft, where is the imperial/metric distance toggles?

    I’ve seriously checked everywhere I remember it previously being. Searching the Settings also provides no obvious answer. Has anyone managed to find the option for maps, find my and compass as current it’s all in miles and feet.

    iOS 16: always-on clock for iPhone SE (3)?

    Several weeks ago, I bought a brand-new iPhone SE (3rd generation / 2022 vintage). It currently uses iOS 15.5. I have a question: will this always-on clock feature of iOS 16 work on my SE, assuming I update its software? TIA

    The ability to “Duplicate” a photo is gone in Actions :(

    The Actions menu no longer has the ability to “Duplicate” a photo, after upgrading to iOS 16. Did this happen to you also? I certainly hope it returns in a bug fix, because it is an essential part of my photos workflow: I always edit the duplicated photo, to keep the original untouched. This...

    Unsending messages is extremely flawed and buggy

    Greetings! As a developer beta tester for Apple, I had the ability to test iOS 16 on June 6 - Present day. Now I would like to talk about the big feature of iOS 16, unsending and editing messages. I was really looking forward to this feature, until I saw that editing and unending for me does...
