Discussion Apple have been having a weird bug with refresh rate.

7 Upvotes

I can't be the only one seeing their refresh rate is having issues.

The issue I've been facing for a while is this - whenever I use the camera app or hang up using the phone app my phone suddenly uses 120hz and drops down to 60 hz for no reason at all.

What I found fixed this is opening the camera app and closing it afterwards and suddenly my phone is running back at 120hz. I have never had refresh rate issues with my previous phone that's ridiculous.

Face id often fails or takes too long so I find this really annoying. Is there a reason for it? Is there a setting to change this other than just disabling face id? The only way around it I've found is by tapping the screen but that doesn't work for locked apps and I have fat fingers so tapping the lockscreen sometimes it just brings the screen down or I end up entering in a random number because the keypad showed up as soon as I tapped. It's times like this I wish they brought touch id back.

If this is user error I'd appreciate kind instructions on how to do this correctly.

Support Switched from Android to iOS — group chats with all-iPhone users fail to send

Post image
3 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I just made the switch to iOS (iPhone Duo) after 12 years on Android. Everything is working fine with 1-on-1 iMessages and SMS, but I'm having a persistent issue with group chats that consist entirely of iPhone users.

The Issue: When I try sending a message in a group thread with other iPhone users, the blue sending progress bar appears under my blue message bubble, hangs, and then I get a time-sensitive notification saying: "Message Failed to Send - The message failed to send."

What I’ve already tried:
Toggled MMS Messaging & Group Messaging ON in Settings > Messages.
Turn iMessage OFF and back ON, verified my phone number in Send & Receive.
Deleted old threads and started new ones.
Restarted my phone.

Has anyone else run into this when migrating off Android? Is there an RCS unlinking delay, a carrier APN setting, or an iMessage routing issue I'm missing?

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Discussion Any ex android user still hating ios keyboard and writing with extreme typos? I am so missing calibration feature

0 Upvotes

Since I moved from Android to iOS, I write with extreme typos. I know I am not very precise with typing, but to be honest, my finger precision is never going to get better. I need a structural, technical solution.

Android used to have a great keyboard calibration feature where it let you type out a test sentence containing the entire alphabet. Based on your natural physical inputs, it recalibrated and interpolated the touch targets to match where your thumbs actually landed on the screen.

I miss this feature so much. It has been years since switching and I am still struggling so badly with the tiny buttons and layout of the native Apple keyboard.
Any suggestions from you guys who struggle as badly with typos as me? I don't want "smart tech" algorithms aggressively changing my words to something else—I just need a better physical layout or interpolation that maps to fast, sloppy typing on a digital screen.
Thanks.

Support Is there ANY way to send uncompressed photos and videos from an iPhone to a non-Apple end-point (android, windows PC, unraid server)?

0 Upvotes

I work as an editor and some of my clients shoot on their iPhones and there seems to be absolutely no way for them to send it to me without it getting compressed beyond recognition.
Even 4k files seem to get compressed down to 1280 x 720?
Shared album, sending a link, everything seems to compress it?

My only assumption is that this is done on purpose to keep people in the apple eco-system?
The easiest option would be to send it as "Document" on WhatsApp (tedious, if you have many files), but even that is disabled, as videos and photos do not show up, when you pick the "Document" option on an iPhone.

This is so frustrating to work with.
I've tried to have it upload to GoogleDrive, but even that seems to be throttled in someway.
I remember leaving a client's phone on the upload screen for hours and it still didn't finish a simple 4GB upload.

I don't know, guys! This seems soooo malicious and kinda makes me hate them for this approach.
And many times, my clients have to send it to me remotely, so there is no option of connecting and extracting the photos directly.

Now that I've expressed my displeasure...
Do you iPhone users have any solution that fits my unique (yet not so unique) problem?

It’s so annoying messing with my mental lol. Anyways whenever i key in yahoo mails website, which i do frequently it suggests or predicts another website starting with an m which i don’t use anymore. I don’t want to block suggested websites i just want to remove that one from search history when i direct address it so mail.yahoo comes up instead of the other website?

This is a really handy feature that was removed somewhere around iOS 17/18. My car has a knob, not a touchscreen, so finding the option and changing it takes your eyes off the road for too long. I’ve submitted feedback (even though the feedback site doesn’t have categories for either Siri or CarPlay!) on multiple occasions but nothing.

Hi, a bit of context. I think my wife is having an affair with someone. I caught some chats in our shared chatgpt account that said how do i end a situationship and shit. And she doesnt consistently tell a story the same way every time. There are always some details that change.

Is there a way i can record her iphone phone that is in my name without her knowing?

Thank you in advance. I want to have proof for court!

Out of the blue, my Reddit app stopped working. I have iOS 26.0 on my iPhone 17 Pro. It's been like this for two weeks now, and I've updated the app twice since then—it's currently up to date. What could be causing this?

Could there be something behind the camera glass? Cuz the glass is 100% clear since I wiped it with microfibr clothe. Do you guys think there’s smudge on the camera lens itself? Because this phone I got is 2nd hand and could be opened before.

Did anyone else get an Apple Account Verification pop-up (specifically when going into settings) where you have to input your iCloud password in the last day or two?

So Apple is now using AI for some things. Do you think they could use AI to write new keyboard code that doesn’t suck?

Because the Apple brain trust is apparently not capable.

I'm trying to digitize my Dad's CD collection and have the music stored on his iPhone. I haven't done much with Apple since the iPod Classic. It seems transferring files is unnecessarily difficult. Apple Devices, Apple Music, and iTunes do not detect the iPhone 13 Pro. I've tried multiple Windows 11 computers. and both a Lightning to USB A and USB C cable. I keep allowing and trusting the computers it's connected to. I've tried uninstalling and redownloading the programs. Nothing. I don't have a Mac to test with.
