    Make Locations in My Guides Appear at Top of Search Results?

    One minor annoyance I have is when searching for a location I’ve saved in a Maps guide (bookmarked as a favorite, in other words), the results are always at the very bottom, beneath local suggestions. Is there any way to have these appear at the top, or should I suggest it to Apple?

    Not sure if this is a bug or by design, but when using Emoji Search, iOS seems to invisibly apply AutoCorrect to what you've typed. For example, if I start typing "Easter" and get as far as "Easte", rather than show every emoji that might start with "Easte", the search function seems to decide...

    Hi All Wife got me an ATV 4K for Christmas and I am trying to setup our watch list and hers includes Coronation Street. We currently pay Amazon £4 a month for the itv player as this seems the only way to get HD away from Sky. When I do a Siri search it only gives me the option for ITV hub...

    I can't stand it, and just like with the last time they updated itunes, I need to find out how to be able to use the search function as it previously functioned. In this latest version you put in a word to search, and it shows results in a separate almost picture-like results screen. I have...
