Have a little play with focus status, might do something. Also check you don’t have any times set up to come on automatically under do not disturb.
Failing that. Turn iMessage off and on.

I don't think so...didn;t notice any issues with that. Seems to be fine now that I'm home...whatevs.
You might have all of your photos synced up, but it might be processing Faces/People, or it could just be indexing files.
Hey, I have a question and I couldn’t find a better thread to ask this: is a 4-5% of battery drain overnight normal on iOS 16? Or should I worry? Thank you.
Only a 4-5% drop overnight while sleeping? That’s pretty good considering that’s probably over the course of 6-8 hours? My iPhone 14 Pro Max typically drains about 10-15% overnight. It’s all really going to depend on you, though, and what apps you’ve got installed. Some apps might run in the background and drain the battery faster.
Right now I have the iPhone without third party apps, and even without logging onto my iCloud account. That’s why I was a bit worried about that 5% over 8h with zero activity. I hope this improves once I install iOS 16.2
But anyways, as you say, that 5% is not that big of a deal
Hello everyone!
Bit of a strange one here, I think, so thought I’d throw it out to everyone.
My Sleep Focus seems to be completely disabling itself sometime between 12:30 and 2am every morning, for reasons unknown. I don’t have a Sleep Schedule set, so I just enable the Focus manually when I go to bed, and for the past week or so, it seems to be completely disabling itself at some point between those hours, as my phone’s woke me up a few times and I’ve had to re-enable it again manually, at which point it stays enabled throughout the night until disabled the next morning.
I have a number of automated Shortcuts enabled which run in the early hours of the morning, but none of these interact with Focuses whatsoever (I’ve checked, just in case I added a param by accident), so I’ve disabled those this morning to test if it could be those (will know for sure tomorrow AM), but I’m not convinced it is as they don’t touch Focus statuses.
Any ideas?

Do you have your status set to be shared across devices? Maybe you have another iDevice or Mac that's somehow triggering to off at that time?
I've had to turn off the sharing across devices because I've got Shortcuts in place on my end to enable Do Not Disturb when I have certain apps open like the Music App or the TV App. I'd still want my Phone to ring or ding a notification from a text, but I don't like it when I'm in Full Screen watching a show on my Mac, and then it slides over to my Home Screen when I get a call, but the show keeps playing off screen...
But, in my case, turning on Focus/DND was also enabling it for my iPad and my iPhone, both right next to me. And then my Wife would come in the room asking why I wasn't responding to her.
What if you just turn off Find My on all of your iDevices and then turn on the iPhone first? Maybe even turn Find My off on everything, and then even reboot each device, and THEN turn Find My on on the iPhone.
Tried that! I even removed it from all of my devices, when I reinstalled it on the iPhone first it remembered every setting.
I've switched to iOS eco recently. I'm facing multiple issues on 16.2 with Whatsapp particularly. Whilst listening to WhatsApp voice note from the receiver. The screen doesn't get off immediately(it takes 5-6 secs to turn off the screen) after putting the receiver against the ear and the ear touch scrolls the screen. is it normal?
This morning has been a b***** and I have only been up for an hour - ugh.
I have a 13 ProMax, iPad Pro 11 (2020) and a new Apple Watch.
This morning both my iPhone, iPad, and watch have AOD turned on and no control to turn it off.
My watch is asking me to keep holding to display which lasts for about 15 seconds then it goes dark.
Haven’t change any settings lately.
Both the iPhone and iPad are on beta 2.
The watch is not on beta.
This was the first time seeing this behavior.
What am I missing?
I am assuming this has something to do with Sleep Focus.
If I delete the Sleep Focus all is normal.
The Sleep Focus only has:
Allow Notifications from - People: short list, Apps: None
Customize Screens: Sleep Screen is off
Set to the same time frame and Settings as DND
No Filters set up for this.
Any help is appreciated.

I noticed the AOD issue as well when I arrived on my business trip a couple of days ago...it seems to have fixed itself though.
After the RC release yesterday I reset my Sleep Focus and sadly still have the issue.
It does not appear to have any real battery impact.
At this point unexpected and not something I wanted.
Wish you didn’t have to dig 4 levels deep to turn it off if you get up early.
Hi all,
I was wondering if someone could help. My girlfriend updated to 16.3 on her 13 mini, which has caused an upsetting problem. In iMessage, the top message thread in her list is dated 31/05/2025, however the most recent message in that thread is actually from 27th November 2015. The worst thing is the message thread is with her Mum, who sadly passed away in December 2015. She wants to keep the texts of course, but not have them at the top of her list every time she receives a text.
I've tried turning iCloud iMessage sync on (it was off) then turning the phone on and off, but nothing is sorting the problem out. I'd really like to try and fix it for her, and hope that someone might know a solution.
Thanks in advance.

I think the simplest solution (as it sounds like this is in her inbox) is to create a folder (maybe call it Mum?) and put all the emails from her Mother into that folder - that way they won't be in her inbox.
That it has an incorrect date is a bit odd...but immaterial if you get it out of the inbox.
Thanks, I just realised that I didn't say that this is in iMessage. I'd better go and edit my original message.
Screenshot and save as an image or images...I do that all the time for special messages...just in case! Then save in a photos library folder.
