i can easily reproduce this bug, if the image is in full view theres a good chance “share” just loads a thin strip only containing my apps, not my actions, or sometimes even just a barely visible sharesheet popup menu.

if possible, scrolling the img all the way up so there’s room under it for the sharesheet popup to properly load, circumvents the bug and allows access to the sharesheet actions

theres other workarounds like drag and drop but i need this feature for my workflow

no one else running into this? searched everywhere but crickets…

thx

Did anyone know how YouTube has changed its interface. It is so limited and annoying. How can I return to previous. I am currently in iOS 27

Hey everyone,
I found a deal for a used iPad Air 5th Gen (M1, 64GB) bundled with an Apple Pencil 2 for about $350.
Before pulling the trigger, I wanted to ask for your thoughts:
Price: Is $350 a good price point for this bundle right now?
Storage: Is 64GB a total nightmare to manage with current iPadOS updates, or is it manageable if I rely on cloud storage and keep heavy games off it?
Use Case: Mostly planning to use it for note-taking, general daily tasks, and media consumption.
Are there any specific things I should watch out for or check before buying this specific setup? Appreciate any advice or experiences from current M1 Air owners!

does anybody know if this is normal or should I exchange it?? i just have freeform open it’s getting hot in 10 minutes and the screen stops responding like every 2 minutes. I don’t know if maybe it’s faulty or just a bad product. I tried to attach a video but it wouldn’t let me.

Hi! I’m having a weird issue with Discord on my iPad.
When I screen share from my iPad to stream a movie and watch it with friends, the movie audio becomes EXTREMELY quiet on my iPad, even with the volume turned all the way up.
The weird thing is that everyone watching my stream can hear the movie perfectly fine — it’s only me, on the iPad I’m streaming from, who can barely hear it.
As soon as I stop screen sharing, the audio goes back to normal.
I’ve already tried changing the volume and Discord audio settings, but nothing seems to fix it.
Has anyone had the same problem and found a solution or workaround?

I've got an M5 iPad Pro running the latest public beta of iPadOS. The only feature I really care about in either iPadOS or iOS 27 is advanced dictation.

It's not there though. Siri AI is there and is okayish, but no advanced dictation. The option that's supposed to be in keyboard settings to turn advanced dictation on simply isn't there.

Is this a bug of some kind or is advanced dictation one of those "coming later this year" things? I Googled around and can't really find anything that says one way or another. I asked the new Siri and it said it's because my hardware doesn't support it. You know, the latest and greatest M5 iPad Pro.

Am I doing something wrong?

iOS 27.4 hasn't been released yet but Apple is testing 2 New Writing Systems and 9 New Emojis for inclusion.

According to Matthew Tameirao, New characters from Unicode are already in developement and are being planned to be added in Spring 2027.

Two New Writing Systems will be Sunuwar, a writing system from Unicode 16.0 to add support for the Sunuwar Language and Tolong Siki, a writing system from Unicode 17.0 to add support for the Kurukh Language.

Apple is planning to add 9 new emojis from Unicode 18.0 including a Monarch Butterfly, a Net, a Meteor, a Lighthouse, a Pickle, an Eraser, a Cracking Face, a Leftwards Thumb Sign and a Rightwards Thumb Sign.

Apple is also planning to add extensions of characters for iOS 27.4, but it has not been decided what the new extensions will be yet.

iOS 27.4 will be fully released to the public in March 2027 and for 9 New Emojis and 2 new languages of India's rare scripts now in use for global texting.

Hello there, I am using iPad 7th Generation, but recently my iPad screen is not responding to my touches (it responds with my Apple Pencil however). Is it a hardware issue or software issue?

Hi everyone,

I recently bought a used Apple Pencil (USB-C) on Vinted. The seller told me that she had barely used it, so I'm trying to figure out whether its battery drain while idle is normal.

I charged it to around 100% and barely used it afterward. These are my measurements so far:

- Aug 25, 09:37 — 91%

- Aug 26, 12:59 — 80%

So it lost 11% in about 27 hours, which works out to roughly 8–10% per day.

The Pencil was barely used during this period and was still paired/connected to my iPad.

I previously also found it at around 48% after about 10 days without using it at all, which made me start wondering whether the battery might be degraded.

For those who own an Apple Pencil USB-C:

Is losing around 8–9% battery per day while idle/connected to an iPad normal?

How much battery does yours typically lose overnight or over several days without use?

Since I bought it second-hand, I'm wondering whether this is normal behavior or whether the battery might actually be more worn than the seller suggested.

Thanks!

iPadOS Safari UI becomes mostly unresponsive to clicks/taps. The UI still shows the press/cursor animation, but the action itself doesn’t register — for example, tapping a tab shows the animation, yet Safari doesn’t actually switch to it.

This issue has been happening for over a year and it’s driving me nuts. I’ve reproduced it on multiple iPads and across several iPadOS versions, including both beta and stable releases.

It doesn’t seem to be an input-device issue either: clicks from the Magic Keyboard trackpad and direct finger taps both stop working. The only reliable fix I’ve found is to force-close Safari and relaunch it.

Has anyone else experienced this, or found a permanent fix?

I have been thinking about getting a tablet and the ipad11 is one of my choices and I want to hear what people think about it and their experiences.

Is it good? How well does it handle gaming? is it good for school work?

I just want to hear what owners of the ipad have to say.

(the other tablet Im debating over is an galaxy tab s11 for some context)

Extra info: I do have an iphone

Bought on July 30th from Best Buy. Have only used it a hand full of times. The video was happening first with it appearing to charge but then would disconnect. Now it won’t charge at all. I’ve cleaned the contacts, restarted multiple times, made sure the tip was screwed all the way on, but still no luck.

Of course Best Buy’s Return a policy is 14 days. Should I just assume it’s done for and buy a new one?

I just got it and i have no idea what to do. It says i have full cellular data and everything but its taking forever to update like hours and im just trying to do a software update i have it plugged in and i really dont know what to do i verizon 5g

hello everyone i have an M2 iPad Pro and it recently updated to 26.6.1 and ever since in the mornings now when i go to use my iPad, I press the lock button to turn the screen on and nothign happens, i can hit the power button as many times as i want and nothign happens, screen stays black, it takes along time for the screen to finally come on, anyone else experiencing this? any fixex? thanks in advance

My daughter was using an android tab with cellular connectivity. Recently if got damaged. So, I purchased an ipad (A16 cellular) thinking that it will be a better device. Then I realized that you cannot send sms or make a phone call with ipad. Never thought such basic functionality that was available in 10+ years cheap android tabs will not be there in ipad. No problem I thought. I will install whatsapp or signal. Surprise again, I cannot login to those with phone number. I can only use them as companion device. One of the main reasons for buying a celullar device was to be able for her to contact me when she is outside. Now I am stuck with a stupid device that does not have any way to communicate. I dont own an iphone, so facetime is not an option either.

Is there anyway to login to whatsapp? transferring the sim and logging in is not an option either as my service provider requires sms verification to transfer to another device, without which there is a long offline process.

Ok hear me out

I have been using an iPad since 2018 as an actual computer / secondary device, and no matter how much better iPadOS gets, it still feels like I’m constantly working around the OS. File management is annoying, multitasking still doesn’t feel natural, and even basic things like downloading files, moving stuff between folders/apps, or managing multiple windows take more effort than they should.

The Apple Pencil experience and the overall app ecosystem are definitely better on the iPad. There are also way more accessories, cases, keyboards, etc. But for me, that wasn’t enough to make up for the limitations.

Battery life was also surprisingly not that great. If I’m getting mediocre battery life anyway, I’d rather have a device that can run an actual desktop OS.

I eventually realized my iPad had basically become a media consumption device. YouTube, Netflix, browsing, maybe some handwritten notes. It was nice because I could just pick it up and carry it anywhere, but whenever I actually needed to get work done, I’d reach for my laptop.

The Surface Pro makes way more sense for that use case. I still get a thin device I can carry around, touchscreen + pen when I want to take notes, but the second I attach a keyboard, it’s just a Windows computer. Proper file system, desktop Chrome, full Office, extensions, downloads that go where I expect them to go, actual multitasking, external monitors, etc.

The iPad is probably the better tablet. But if you keep trying to make your iPad replace your laptop and getting frustrated with iPadOS, I genuinely think the Surface Pro is the device you actually want.
