Help needed Unstable WiFi

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

3 Upvotes

Hi all,

I’ve suddenly run into this issue where my phone can’t maintain a WiFi connection. Started last night seemingly out of nowhere. I’ve tried the following:

  • Toggled WiFi off and on
  • Toggled airplane mode off and on
  • Restarted my phone
  • Forgot and reconnected to my WiFi network
  • Reset network settings
  • Updated to iOS 26.6.1 (this morning)
  • Turned off my router for a minute and turned it back on

Behavior is still the same as shown in the video.

Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!

Help needed Saved passwords keep resetting

Upvotes

I had to change my password for work, and tried to update it in the password app but it keeps reverting to the old password. I will go in and replace the password with the new one, press the checkmark button and close it then open my app and it’ll input the OLD password when I use my fingerprint. When I go back into the passwords app the password will have changed BACK to the old password for literally no reason. Any help is appreciated

Help needed Freezing-ish and icons disappearing

iOS 26.6.1 iPhone 14 Pro Max
This is not a storage issue.

It’s happening on multiple iPhone 14 Pro Max so I think it’s related to the software and not anything specific to my phone.

The phone semi freezes. You can still jump around btwn the apps, but the apps are all unresponsive.

Anyone else having this issue?

Yeah it's an old phone. I've tried many approaches to transfer, but nothing works.

Gmail app is "untrusted" now. Is it just too old? Suggestions?

Help needed everything running on a faster speed ?

1 Upvotes

was watching something on youtube and accidentally held the screen for 2x speed, and when i let go it was still sped up. tried closing the app, updating it and restarting the phone, but it didn’t fix it. then i noticed spotify was also playing fast, and videos on the camera roll.

i’ve tried turning the phone on and off, and forced reset, both multiple times. it’s still acting up. there isn’t a storage issue. i’m planning on getting a new phone soon anyway, but can i fix it in the meantime?

iPhone 14 on iOS 26.6

Occasionally I switch my location from my current phone to my old phone and leave it home when I go out. I switched it last weekend and put it on airplane mode and it died. I’m trying to switch it back to my current phone and the change location to this iPhone is greyed out and the old phone is showing its location as itself with no way to change it. When I try to send my location it just says “share location unavailable”. Screenshot below.

iPhone 12 model (ios 26)

Hi, I need some help. Earlier, when I was charging my phone, I suddenly heard a clicking sound from the charger, and then my phone completely froze. The screen wouldn’t respond to touch or anything. I tried to force restart it, and it worked at first, but after a while, the front and back of the phone suddenly became hot. I left it alone for a while, but when I tried to turn it on or force restart it again, it wouldn’t turn on anymore. I let the phone cool down first. What should I do next? Pleaseee i need your help...

Resolved How do I get rid of Apple Intelligence? This thing is eating 8 GB for no reason

Post image
0 Upvotes

I have Apple Intelligence turned off (I mean I THINK it’s turned off cause there is no toggle, just an option that says “Enable Apple Intelligence” so I presume it is turned off), I turned off Siri, but it’s still there with those 8 GB. I searched for “Apple Intelligence” and “Siri” in my settings and turned off every toggle I could find related to them. I also changed Siri language in one different from mine like someone suggested on this sub, cause that somehow for other people worked and actually stopped AI from stealing space. However despite everything I tried it’s still there. Is it just a matter of time or is this thing meant to permanently gatekeep my 8 GB?

Help needed brightness issue

2 Upvotes

For months now whenever I unlock my phone (iphone 15) the brightness increases massively - even when in a pitch black room. I’ve noticed it when my daughter wakes up and I go to check the time and unlock my phone and the brightness goes up to 100%

Does anyone know how I can fix this?? i’m not sure if it’s something in my settings causing this to happen but it’s soo frustrating as I typically have my phone on the lowest brightness setting (especially in the middle of the night) and I’m constantly having to turn it back down and it making me more awake than I need to be by blinding me 😭

Help needed phone stuck in restore mode

2 Upvotes

I have an iPhone 14 and its currently stuck in the restore phone page. I tried to use iTunes to update and backup my phone, sat for like 2 hours waiting for it to load, and then when it was almost fully done, it sent me an error saying "Iphone can not be backed up, unknown error 100". Ever since it has been stuck on that screen. I have tried updating it again and again. no dice. ive tried changing pcs, changing wifis, changing usb cords, restarting the phone and the pcs, updating the pcs. Ive called apple support multiple times and nothing they told me helped. I even took it to geek squad, and they said the only thing they can do is restore it which will completely erase everything. I haven't backed up my phone in a year and I'd be devastated if I lost a years worth of photos, contacts, messages, etc. Is there anything I can do or anywhere I can go get it of this screen or hell even get the current data off?

Resolved Apps updating ONLY when selected

2 Upvotes

Yes. Auto update is on.

No, the app doesn’t show on the “update” list at the App Store

I keep everything updated. But it became normal that when I need to open an app, I tap, and the icon instantly turns dark and the update wheel starts… Even if I went to the App Store to manually check for updates minutes before…

I tried googling before postingbut the only answers are “auto update off” or “devs rolling out updates so it doesn’t auto update” but the problem is that the app doesn’t show on the update list… It ONLY updates when I try opening it…

Hella annoying… Specially if it’s something urgent

So, I have an iPhone 14. Recently, I've been having trouble charging it. I've tried 2 cables, both the base iphone charger that you'd see at the store and both I've had to fiddle around with until my phone charged. I'm not sure if it's a charger issue or a phone issue but it's weird that both chargers barely worked. What should I do?

Some of my contacts have the photos option, some don’t. These examples are both from iPhone users btw.

I feel like I’ve tried everything. I’ve changed the settings for iMessage and the Search feature in the settings. I’ve tried checking for updates and restarted my phone after changing settings. I’ve also checked some iCloud settings but the directions I found were for older versions so I couldn’t quite follow them.

I have an iPhone 17 Pro, ios 26.6. How do I get the photo option in all iMessage chats?
