Messages via Satellite outside the US
One of the iOS 18 features I’m most excited for is Messages via Satellite. My job takes me out of cellular network range almost daily so this seemed like a great way to keep in touch with friends and family during the workday. However, I live and work in Europe, despite having an iPhone 15 Pro...- clarkewingh

In Messages, secondary clicking via two finger tap no longer brings up secondary click/context menu with responses like thumbs up etc. Secondary click via two finger click works fine.

Messages storage ballooning out of control for no apparent reason.
Hello, So I’ve upgraded to a 128GB iPhone from a 256GB iPhone as I decided I don’t really need that much physical storage space due to having 2TB of iCloud and everything being synced/stored in the cloud. I reduced the space being taken on my old phone, then restored the new phone from backup...- TheSynchronizer

How is deleting texts still so insanely bad?!
I haven't deleted individual texts for a good few years, since after iOS 7 (I think) it became insanely difficult to delete texts, where scrolling up and causing the app to load it would unselect all texts. Anyways, I thought, surely this would be fixed by now! Apparently not. iOS 16.3.1 and it...
