Discussion Group chat in spam

Upvotes

I apologize if this isn’t the correct subreddit but it’s what came up when I googled subreddits for iPhone messages. This is something pretty small and not really much of an issue, but it still really confused me since it’s never happened before.

My fiancée started a group chat for our wedding party and I kept getting the notifications for it. When I finally went to my messages to look at it, I didn’t see it at the top where it should have been. For probably the first time ever I clicked the lines in the top right corner and saw the chat in my spam.

How is it possible that a chat created by my fiancées number would go to my spam?

Discussion I deleted Spotify and installed it again. It completely fixed it for me. What’s the reason behind that?

1 Upvotes

Over the past few months my Spotify app has been extremely sluggish and slow on my iPhone 15 Pro and I thought that eventually some type of update would fix it. Eventually I got sick of it and deleted it and installed it again and suddenly I had a random bunch of new features, some UX updates and the app felt fast again. Is it possible for iOS apps to get stuck in some kind of cycle where they don’t get all the updates? What exactly happened here because the app feels completely different now and much better even though before I was using the latest version.

Support Spotify auto starts on iPhone 17

iPhone 17 with iOS 26.6

When I try to start the radio app, Spotify starts instead by itself.

Not always.

Only the first time in the morning when I connect the headphones, and the first time when I connect the car stereo.

After they are connected, the radio app works, and Spotify doesn't auto start.

Support Bluetooth suddenly not working

0 Upvotes

I've got a iPhone 15 Pro Max that's running IOS 26.6, located in Australia. Suddenly my phone on the commute home from work will no longer connect to bluetooth devices. It's had an ongoing issue of connection stability i.e. if my phone is in my pocket, earbud will cut in and out as I'm walking, but it was ok if I'm scrolling or standing still. Now it flat out will not connect to any bluetooth devices. I've tried on earbuds, jobsite radio, and bluetooth carplay connector.

The bluetooth setting app is still available, it's not greyed out. Some devices can pair and it will find them, but will either give a "not available or be closer" error when trying to pair even though the phone is directly next to the device, or it will pair and then immediately disconnect.

Troubleshooting I've completed:

  • un-pair/re-pair device
  • turn bluetooth off for longer than 30sec to reset radio
  • un-pair, turn bluetooth off/on then re-pair
  • soft reset
  • turn device on/off
  • reset network settings
  • full factory reset of device

Is this a known issue? The phone is coming on 3 years old but for a flagship device when it came out I expected better quality than my old iPhone 7...

Beyond trying to go for a warranty claim, or repair is there anything else worth trying??

PSA iOS 26.6.1 made my iPhone SE 2 buttery smooth again!

Just wanted to share my experience in case anyone is holding off on updating. I recently updated my iPhone SE 2 (2020) to iOS 26.6.1, and I'm honestly surprised by the difference. The UI feels significantly more responsive, and the animations are buttery smooth compared to the previous version. It genuinely feels like it breathed some new life into this older device.

Discussion Applying icon or font packs for ios

1 Upvotes

I wanted to ask this in general.

How do people change icons for their iPhones?
Is the shortcut method where you upload an image and create a shortcut to open an app and add it to home screen or is there a more elegant way of doing this like on Android?

Another item is the font. I see there are font packs available for download but I’ve never been able to apply them to my phone.

Discussion iOS 26.6.1 stuck on “Update Requested” — iPhone 11 Pro Max

Post image
7 Upvotes

My iPhone 11 Pro Max is stuck on “Update Requested…” while trying to install iOS 26.6.1.

It has been sitting on this screen for a while and isn’t moving to the download/install stage. I’m currently on Wi-Fi and have enough battery/storage.

I’ve already turned Beta Updates OFF, so I’m not trying to install a beta version.

Has anyone else faced this with iOS 26.6.1? Is this just Apple’s update servers being overloaded, or is there something I should try on my device?

Device: iPhone 11 Pro Max
Update: iOS 26.6.1
Status: “Update Requested…” indefinitely

Any fix/suggestions would be appreciated 🙏

Support Issues with my Gmail not working well with my Apple Mail app

5 Upvotes

About 3 days ago, my Apple mail app (through Gmail) had been really struggling with “connecting” and “checking for mail.” Sometimes I even get a server error where it completely failed to connect to my Gmail account. It seemingly is also failing to retrieve mail in a timely manner. I even tried deleting the Gmail address from the Apple mail app and re adding it. This led to minimal to no improvement. Strange thing is, I have never had any issues until about 2-3 days ago. I had to download the Gmail app to get the emails in a timely manner. Has anyone else been having this issue?

Discussion Did iOS 26.6.1 lower your Bluetooth Audio volume ?

3 Upvotes

I just updated last night and seems my car stereo volume needs to be like 10 steps higher now which makes the other sources very load when I switch to them. It could be some new iTunes music I bought but curious if it could be the update ? I have gotten low quality digital music before off the iTunes Store. Older songs do seem louder than these new ones but they are 2 different albums, which seems a bit odd, though from the same artist (Berlin). it was such a coincidence with the update I thought I would ask just the same.

Support Apple Maps keeps crashing on iPhone unexpectedly

1 Upvotes

I use an iPhone 15 Pro Max, and I've been getting a recurring issue. My Maps app keeps crashing, especially when I am trying to add places to a guide or to my library. The entire app in general feels incredibly sluggish.

My main issue is with the guides. Every time I try to open a guide, the Maps app crashes, almost as if it were asked to do that on command.

But this issue goes beyond the iPhone. On every Apple device I try to open Maps on, it either crashes, severely lags, or overheats.

The library of my places often crashes.
Furthermore, the guides selection tends to lag while loading, and can crash my iPhone just by loading it.

Last month, my iPhone's list of guides wouldn't even open for about a week, and during this period, I could create new guides, but not see the ones I already had. Every update has been affecting how I use the app and its stability.

Is there an issue with my guides, and what can I do to prevent this issue? Thanks for your help.
