It started with our HomeKit lighting turning on and off, seemingly...

    I'm seeing an issue on my iPhone and iPad. All my photos taken at my house show "Home" at the top. Since installing iOS 17.3 any time I tap the "I" to view info on a photo, the title changes from "Home" to the name of my town. This change is permanent with no way to change it back. I don't...

    iPhone 11 Pro Why does iPhone share Lat/Long with EVERY VIDEO???

    This is the stupidest **** ever. I literally will go to share a video and my lat/long is included. I have tried choosing "options" when sharing a video, turning it off, and it doesn't remember my settings. It literally just puts them back. If I go into location settings I don't see how I can...

    Hey there! In the last few days I have been searching for methods to spoof/simulate your location, I've seen something called 3utools which can spoof your location until you reboot (if anyone knows how this works please hit me up).
