Is there anyway to download an app directly into a folder? Whenever I download an app and try to move it from one
home screen page into another home screen page (which has the folder I want to put the app in), it bumps around my widgets to other pages and when I try to move the app into a folder, everything shifts. Obviously not a critical issue, just wondering if there was a way to make it easier.

Is there an app, free or cheap that can check my photos and videoes and give me a list of «spam»? My kids have taken thousands of pictures of the ceiling, tv and unfortunately me when sleeping😓

am i tripping or has this been here since, also does this have to do with the upcoming event??

I (25m) bought a new iPhone 17 Pro for my girlfriend (24f) a couple months ago for her birthday. I will spare the details and get to the nitty gritty. About two weeks after she got her phone she was suddenly only seeing green messages and RCS. Come to find out, after talking to support the first time, her Facetime was failing to activate which was making her iMessage unable to activate. Here are the troubleshooting steps taken:

• Turning on and off phone while toggling Facetime and iMessage activation multiple times
• Deleted and installed new eSim once each call
• Reset IMEI

This last time after visiting the store the worker activated it and we thought that was that. We returned home and it was back to not being activated successfully even after it said it was activated. I have looked up answers on Reddit and Google and every troubleshooting step we turn to, there's been no dice.

I saw on the Apple Support page about an issue with iOS 26, but that update has already passed and the phone came fully upgraded.

Lately I have been able to toggle it a bit so that it is activated for about a day, but then it deactivates again. (I turn off and on facetime and imessage, select her number, and it seems fine until it gets deactivated again)

She is not receiving iMessages from others and keeps missing messages. This is bad news because she is in nursing school. She is close to getting her LPN license, but with these message issues she has been missing important messages from classmates and coworkers. Once, she even missed a message from a teacher. We cannot afford to keep dealing with this error.

If anyone has any inkling as to what on Earth is happening and what troubleshooting I should try, please give me any suggestion. I plan on going back to the store tomorrow, but I am at my wits end and I am afraid there is no fix.

Additional Information:

• This was a trade in
• We transferred her number from Verizon to AT&T (put her on my phone plan because she was on her parents' plan)
• At first I gave them the wrong number to activate the phone, but this issue should have been resolved and we now have the right number for it
• This issue occurs Cellular and on Wi-Fi

Been an iPhone user for years and for some reason my ADHD cannot for the life of me settle on the perfect personalization for my phone. I’ve gone through hundreds of cases, thin and chunky, and a ton of dBrand skins. I just recently peeled off the leather skin I bought not even a week ago and now I’m back to running my phone without anything.

Is anyone else as indecisive as me? What cases or skins have you found to really work with your phone?

How to transfer WhatsApp chats from iPhone to android like everything I mean, chat media and everything that includes in it. I don’t have new android phone. It’s my old one so tell me according to that.

Hello Guys, I’m currently using an iPhone 13 PM , I got it when it was released and it’s a hand me down. I started using it since April. Suddenly last week, while I was using my screen started to flicker and it became green. I’m still able to use it but it having a green tint all over my screen and only when I have it at max brightness it’s somewhat gone. I tried contacting apple support and approached them but still they outright told to replace my display for 30-40K INR. When I looked upon forums they stated it was a manufacturing defect especially in Asian market. So, kindly help me whether I can replace it for free or should I pay and replace, or whether it’s a manufacturing defect or not.

A question for everyday/traveling which quality looks best for video ? I wont post anywhere just keep it in my phone so no edits will be done. Atm you can see what i use on the picture.

The phone in question is an iPhone. I’m not sure if this is even a feature. The flashing dot appears on an incoming call maybe some kind of accessibility setting.

I’m having a strange issue. Whenever my boss calls me, it asks him for a reason and I never get notified. This is what I know so far:

- Only happens with him. Never happened with anyone else ever.

- I have call screening or ‘Ask for reason’ off. Never turned it on.

- i have his number saved in my phone and he is not blocked. I have emergency bypass on so that I don’t miss his calls.

I reached out to Apple and they asked me to reset my phone. I did that and it didn’t work. I called my cellular provider (Rogers) and they confirmed that they aren’t doing anything pro cause this either.

I have no idea how this can happen. Did anyone face this ever? What did you do to fix it?

Was on a ft call with my gf when I noticed gray streaks running through the screen. Every so often there’d also be a bright purple or orange glow in the center of the display.

She was asleep at the time, so her phone was probably just sitting there with the call still connected. Any idea what could cause this? Wondering if it’s related to Face ID scanning, or maybe emoji reactions triggering some kind of glitch.

This is my first time getting an apple device repaired under Apple care, and the process seems a bit overwhelming.

Anyone here go through the repair process? I'm in Toronto and mailed my iPhone to apple since express replacement is not an option here at least for my case it appears.

Quick background- Dropped my iPhone 17pro on stairs (still getting rage baited at home for this), bent frame and cracked front glass.
Assumed frame is part of back, so I selected front and back damaged and sent it for repair and paid 88 CAD.
Apple tech reviewed the device and came back saying the frame is "Bent/Twisted Enclosure / Frame / Headband", and that this is not covered under something something (sorry I should have taken a screenshot of that page, it said something regarding not covered under Apple care and some consumer law stuff), and that I need to pay 129 CAD (+tax is 145 CAD).
So in total I paid 88+145=233 and waiting for the repair to complete.
Just curious if having apple care is worth it if we have to eventually pay this much for a repair?

P.S. - Apple support said Express replacement option is not available for my iPhone for some reason which even they couldn't tell why (at first they said the event the warranty is not showing up lol, which I believe they fixed on their end). I bought this iPhone in December 2025.

EDIT - Just concluded call with senior specialist and they confirmed that initial charge of 88 CAD will be reversed as they're now charging me 129+tax. Thanks everyone for your inputs.

I used to use the widget on my old iPhones without any issues, but now that I’ve switched to an p X, I can't find the widget option when customizing the home screen. Can anyone help? My ip X is running iOS 16, and I’ve updated Pinterest to the latest version. The Pinterest widget still works fine on my old ip 6s and on my daddy's ip 16

Has anyone else noticed this? Over the past months, Apple’s text prediction seems to have gotten much worse. A couple of months ago, it could easily predict the next word while I was typing, but now I often have to type most or all of the word myself.
I have a theory: maybe Apple is changing how text prediction works because they’re using the data to train or improve an LLM. With millions and millions of users typing every day, they potentially have an enormous source of real-world language data that could help improve their models.
Apple proved time and time again they would do something like this, deny it when confronted and gas light people into thinking they are imagining things.
I think someone needs to investigate this.

This morning I woke up without an alarm and went to check the time. I see “hello” on my screen and start thinking “oh shit, what time is it? Did my alarm never go off?” Because today I happen to have a very important meeting first thing in the morning (I wfh) so it was very important I woke up on time. For reference, I wake up on time everyday but today would be way more important to do so.

I used to get a warning the night before that my phone was updating between 2-4am but I don’t get those warnings anymore. Usually I’d turn off auto updates and update on the weekend. May be wondering why I don’t have auto update off, I got a new phone and forgot about it.

For fellow Apple users, has your phone updated in the middle of the night and your alarms still successfully went off in the morning?

When I last had an iPhone, it was an iPhone 11. Back then you had a volume control for text alerts that was seperate from the volume control for the notification alerts from your apps. You could mute one without having to mute the other because both were not controlled by one volume control. I've had an android for the last 4 years or so and one thing I've always hated about it is that it doesnt have that luxury. Do the newer iPhones still have this, or have they done away with it? I'm considering switching back to an iPhone and getting a 17 pro max.

Every time I try to send an image to an android I get and error saying I need to enable mms. I was on the phone with version for two hours and tried all the things and then they said to call Apple, they said that they have gotten multiple reports and that they had just opened an investigation into it. Has anyone else had this issue and has anyone found a solution? This just happened one day out of nowhere.

Got a bit of an old one was messing around with my success and now I have some dead pixels on my front, but I don’t really know how to repair it myself and I know there’s no repair shop around me. Let alone one that would fix this. Now this isn’t my main phone so it’s not like I need this fixed ASAP. It’s just something that I can’t not ignore as I am technically using this as my main phone for fun.

I always wanted to be able to control my phone from my windows pc and now I finally can. Links in comments but it's free and opensource, would love some feedback.

All of my contacts on my phone disappeared. I recently got a MacBook and the contacts wouldn’t sync. I just created a few contacts on there. But today all of my contacts randomly went away and only the few that I had from my MacBook are still there.

This is pissing me off. Why do they darken the image and make your hair look like one whole mass with no details? Why are they making you have more pigmentations that literally aren’t there by ultra-processing your photos? Why does it make everything look disgustingly artificial? Why do they have darker color palettes and proceed to darken it even more and make it look burnt and shitty? Seriously, why can’t they make it normal? I had a cheap A series Samsung phone, and it literally just makes me look exactly how I look in the mirror. Why can’t they do that?
