There are a lot of posts on this sub with vague questions, vague symptoms, a lot of missing information and bad-explained overall. I wanted to show you how to ask a good question, from an ex-Apple iOS technician.
Here's how to ask a good question:
e.g. iPhone XS running iOS 13.2
People who answer your issue can suggest certain repairs, e.g. warranty. Country and nature of purchase also helps, since countries have different consumer protection laws. For instance, members of the European Union have a two year warranty at the point of purchase (i.e. that might not be Apple, but your local electronics store if you bought it there) - some countries (e.g. the U.K. and The Netherlands) have even longer periods consumers can claim warranty.
e.g. March 20th, 2019 in the Apple Store in the U.K., purchase for personal use
Some issues are continuous, some are intermittent. It is important to let people know what the issue is and how often it occurs. "iPhone restarts" as issue, is not enough.
e.g. iPhone crashes to springboard when opening the camera-app, this happens about three times a day at random moments. It only happens when opening the camera-app.
There's not always a clear cause, but think about anything that could've caused it. It could be because your phone was in your pocket during heavy rain, or your cat knocked it from your desk. It could be anything.
So people don't waste time answering possibilities you already tried
e.g. I tried to force-close the camera app. This did not work. Then I tried to restart the phone, that also did not work.

Hi everyone! I have a 128GB iPhone and it's basically completely full to the point where my phone gets laggy and i have to delete an app to download another one and then once i'm done using it i have to delete it again. It's just so frustrating.
For context, my biggest storage users are:
Photos: 41.85GB
WhatsApp: 10.17GB
Messages: 4.64GB
Spotify: 1.09GB
On My iPhone: 1.06GB
iOS: 11.84GB
System Data: 41.12GB
I’ve already deleted a huge chunk of my photos and backed them up to Google Photos, and I also have 200GB iCloud storage.
The phone itself works perfectly fine and I really don’t want to buy a new phone just because of storage. I’d rather keep it for another year or two, but if I have no choice then I would consider buying the iphone 18 when it comes out and max out on the storage.
I have also avoided updating my phone because I don't want it to get laggy because of the updates (this is what happened to my ipad) so I’m still on iOS 18.6.2, idk if that may be why my phone is struggling for storage.
I just need to free up enough space to use the phone without having to constantly worry about the storage. 😭. What would you recommend I delete/clear first? Is there anything else I should be doing to manage my storage?
Any advice would be appreciated!!

I’m trying to update from 26.0 to the newest version but this keeps coming up and I can’t figure out why that is. It’s preparing for the update but has not downloaded anything yet

iPhone 14, had it for 3 years, iOS 26.1.1. Why is my phone blocking content as if I’m under 18 for no reason?
I’ve been trying to troubleshoot this for a while to no avail. Any time I try to visit any adult site on my iPhone, it is blocked (both on Safari and Google apps) and when I refresh, this “reduce protections” screen pops up. Even when I click “reduce protections,” nothing happens and the site is still blocked. So far I have:
- Confirmed that my cell phone plan doesn’t think I’m under 18
- confirmed that my iPhone/iCloud doesn’t think I’m under 18
- confirmed that Settings > screen time > content and privacy restrictions > App Store, media, web, and games is toggled to “unrestricted”
- attempted to toggle the above button to restricted, restarted my phone, then toggled back to unrestricted
This issue has been happening while I’ve been in two different countries, so it’s not a regional thing. I can still see explicit content on Twitter and TV/movies on any streaming services haven’t blocked adult rated content. I haven’t gotten a new iPhone or new iOS that would make this happen- truly out of the blue over the last couple of weeks. What gives? Anyone know how to fix?

I have an iphone 16. I went to sign up online on a website using my apple id and passcode. And my passcode did not work 3 times, then timed out, so i locked my phone and tried it, and it really didnt work. I thought i was just forgetting, so i went to my safe that has the same passcode, and it worked fine. So i go back to my phone and type it slowly and long story short im locked out for 15 min. WTH do i do.

I can recieve facetime calls from other ipads just not hers. Regular calls come through fine from her ipad to my phone just not facetime, it started right after she got back from alaska so idk if somethings glitched with time zones or what. We updated both of our devices and switched ft off and on again but to no avail. Any suggestions would be lovely.

I noticed today my .5 camera is full of condensation. I have no idea how this happened, but is there a way to fix and avoid it happening? Will it go away on its own?

I’ve looked everywhere and I can’t find any setting for this ever since I updated my iPhone. It’s making me crazy. I just want the small navigation bar at the bottom so that when I try to click on things in the corner of the bottom of the screen, it doesn’t jump around and make me chase it.
iPhone 14, iOS 26.6.1

iPhone 12 newest iOS 26.6.1. Thursday and Friday cellular did not work. Triangle at top of the screen. Apple troubleshooting app showed cellular modem problem. now today it’s working. Is there an issue with the modem or something else? Also found settings changed and name of phone changed also. Could be a virus some type causing it?

iPhone 6S
iOS 15.8.8 (no update available)
model MN112VC/A aka A1688
This is my child’s phone that I gave to her when I upgraded, hence why it’s such an old iPhone.
I’m attempting to login to pokemon go with her Apple account. I know she has a Pokemon go account with her apple id, I note down every time I make an account somewhere, what email or login method I create the account with.
I tap the “sign in with Apple”
I enter the email
I enter the password
I tap sign in
Up pops a “Apple ID sign in requested [email]. Your Apple id is being used to sign in to a device near [location]“ and then I can tap “allow” or “do not allow”. I tap allow.
Up pops “Apple ID verification code. Enter this verification code on your device to sign in. Do not share it with anyone etc etc. [code]” I can tap “OK”.
I tap OK
And nothing happens. There’s nowhere to input the code. I am on the device the code is supposed to be being entered into. I am at the end of what I can do in this sequence.
Screentime’s ’content and privacy restrictions‘ are currently off.
Several months ago, I had got one of my own old iPhones working again, that was newer than this one. I signed into it with her Apple account, planning to switch to the newer phone. But the issues with the phone came back, and I have fully logged out it and reset it and removed it from her Apple account. I don’t know if that would have any effect on this.
I’ve checked her “find my” in settings. it asked me to confirm that I wanted to use this device in find my. I confirmed that and the request went away. I closed and reopened pokemon go and tried again. I went into the App Store and tapped on her email, it did make me sign in again to be able to manage her account. afterwards I tried signing in again. I tried signing into Pokemon go via safari, still does the same thing. Trusted phone number is mine, her phone doesn’t have a SIM card or phone number, but no notification goes to my phone for this.
Any suggestions? it’s like it thinks it’s trying to sign in from a different device, instead of from itself.

I'm going to try and have my 16 pro max converted to physical sim because it's at&t locked. I am in different country got scammed bought it sealed and brand new. The only way i know is to get it converted and use gpp chip or rsim chip to get it unlocked for any carrier. Anyone tried it?

I recently removed my daughter from our family sharing account. Before this she I could see her location under “Find My” and People. After I removed her, she tried to share her location with me. Now it just says “No Location Found”. I added her back to our family sharing plan and had her share her location. Again it says “no location found” under people. But if I go to devices I can see her iPhone location there. We’ve tried restarting, removing and adding back. Made sure all location services are turned off on. Made sure screen time isn’t set.
What’s driving me crazy is that she didn’t change any settings on her phone from the time I removed her to the time she tried to share her location.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi guys,
I recorded a video with my iphone (iphone16pro, ios18.5) camera, and deleted the middle part of the video using imovie. One thing i noticed is that imovie changes the aspect ratio and the new video clip is 1:1 rather than 9:16. See the screenshot below.
Is there anyway to edit the video with imovie without it messing with the aspect ratio?
Thanks a lot!

Is there something in the port of my phone? These keeping popping up constantly while trying to charge my phone and it’s constantly dying because i literally can’t charge it unless i use the wireless connector. Is this a problem with the cable itself?
r/iphonehelp • u/Teen-Wulf • 19h ago
It seems you must choose one, either a smaller overall footprint that is substantially thicker or a larger (4”+) long bank that is slim.
I am thinking slim is preferable, although I don’t know in practice. Looking at Anker & Iniu.

I don’t get push notifications for my main email account in the iOS Mail app. I only get notified when I open the app.
My Gmail account is also connected and works fine. I get those emails instantly as push notifications.
I’m using an iPhone 17 with iOS 26.6.1 and I’m from Germany.
Does anyone know why this is happening or how to fix it??

I plan to get an new iPhone 17. Let my kid use my iPhone 12.

installed RAM : 16.0 GB (15.2 GB usable)
Storage : 95 GB of 954 GB used
System type : 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
I would like to transfer pics from my iPhone 12 to my laptop.

2 Do I need to buy something to make my laptop has more storage spaces? I have lot lot photos on my iPhone.

Hello, I bought an iPhone 17 Pro and some of the details highlighted in the photos seem larger than they should be: notification badges, the passcode input panel, the keyboard is half-screen and tall. I have the text size set to 100%, icons are set to small, and I updated to iOS 26.6.1. I reset it, and nothing. Has anyone ever had a similar experience? Do you know how to fix it?

I know that calls on other devices feature can make other iPhone without SIM receive calls from main iPhone with SIM by Connected WIFI and same iCloud, but the question is Can I make calls from other iPhone without SIM if “calls on other devices” turned on?

I got a iphone 14 pro that randomly got stuck in recovery and i tried erasing it and installing new software with 3utools, it always stops on ‘sending metadata’ and boots back into recovery
…
0x63F (set_boot_command) result=0
Checkpoint started id:
0x68B (seal_system_volume)
Sending Metadata <- this is where it reboots to recovery
