Mister Facetious posted:Reformat your phone. Apple tends to be much better than Android about "Always reset after every letter upgrade", but doing it made my 11 work a lot better after three years without one. I’ve been having similar problems with a new 13 mini. It seems a whole lot slower than 11 - very often an app won’t appear in spotlight search now, or take 10 seconds to show. Apps lock up not infrequently. I kind of regret not getting the other fixed for the nth time, it’s been a step down in every way but the size. Should I try that?

If uninstalling and reinstalling the app doesn't help, then yeah, maybe.

This is like every app, including awful etc. My phone shouldn’t tell me to stop posting; that’s for you all to do and I won’t stand for your obsoletion.

Restarted the phone and it’s still doing it for every app, like 10 seconds to come up. I have spotlight indexing turned off for the app content of most things, so I’d assume I put less load on the indexer than most people… E: looks like 16.2 never installed despite it promising it’d do it every night. I suppose i should try that manually and see what happens. The old phone did the auto updates fine fwiw.

This phone sucks! I can’t update cause it’s stuck on “update requested” and I can’t load the iPhone storage label to try to delete the download. Restarting does nothing. What a piece of crap.

sounds like something is boogered up in the OS. I'd wipe it, don't restore a backup, update to 16.2 and then set up all your poo poo. Or if you have access to a computer you should be able to update/wipe using that.

Glad to report to 16.2 eventually got past the init and it fixed the problems I mentioned today  e: oh no it started again. from other posts I’ve seen online, reinstalling doesn’t solve this problem for most people who post about it. mawarannahr fucked around with this message at 00:49 on Jan 17, 2023 |

Does anyone have any recommendations on MagSafe pads that can do a phone and watch? No stands because the case I’m using isn’t MagSafe and won’t stay. It will however line up to a MagSafe puck. I like the Belkin and Apple ones but if possible I’d like to spend less than $100

Buddy, they write those articles after every single iOS release. When Apple sells hundreds of millions of phones, even if a very very small percent of phones have issues that’s still hundreds of thousands of people. Is there a particular reason you are refusing to even try to do a restore?

It’s a critically buggy release they had to withdraw part of it already  https://www.theverge.com/2022/12/22/23522418/apple-ios16-2-homekit-home-app-upgrade-removed quote:Apple has removed the option to upgrade to the new HomeKit architecture on devices running iOS 16.2. The change follows multiple reports of issues and problems with the Home app after the upgrade was installed. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT213481 quote:We temporarily removed the option to upgrade to the new Home architecture. The option to upgrade will return soon. If you already upgraded, you are unaffected by this change.

Yeah just back your stuff up to the cloud and factory reset your phone. People aren’t denying your lived experience or whatever, it’s just not an issue that affects most people, and there’s only a few different models of iPhone. You’ll probably be fine after a big reset.

Like, way better. Siri and our HomePods actually differentiate between my wife and I’s voices now. Automations update the first time I make a change instead of the second or third (or needing to just be setup fresh every time).

Sent invites disappear into a void, and at some point in the dozen of home deletions/resets I've done I lost the ability to become an Admin of my own home. Which I guess fixes the invites problem because I can't invite anyone anymore.

Have others had to constantly prove to Google they’re not a bot in the last week or two? I’m assuming it’s down to the Apple privacy proxy-type thing being enabled as I’ve had other sites block me from using my phone on them due to that.

This. A restore process is not hard. Even if you set up the phone as new, if you have iCloud enabled for everything it still makes it pretty painless. Restore through iTunes or Finder though. Erasing the phone through the phone itself does not re-install iOS and the firmware, it only erases your data. E: you probably don’t even need to set it up as new. Create an encrypted backup in iTunes/Finder. Restore through iTunes/Finder. Restore backup. The whole process takes like 20 minutes and there’s very little to set up after the restore process.

Yeah I think private relay reuses IP addresses so it does end up looking quite bot-like from someone like Google's perspective. Worth it for privacy though

They’re trying to make it annoying enough for you so you turn it off and they’re back to being able to easily fingerprint your traffic again.

So much of a smartphone beyond the app installs lives on the cloud it’s really not as extreme a solution as you’re imagining. Even your anpp configuration annd home screens are backed up. It would probably fix all your issues. It’s a little annoying to do, but it sounds like the issues you’re encountering are more annoying. People are trying to be helpful in earnest.

Does anybody actually like giving voice commands? This far into the game and I still feel like a dorkus who can't think what kind of phrasing to use until I'm halfway into a stammering unparseable command that I could have given in 1/10 the time by typing. "Hey Siri tell everyone food's here" that just does not seem natural in real life no matter how much star trek I've seen

I actually use it a ton for grocery items. AnyList has deep Siri integration and it's become a go-to thing when I'm in the kitchen and find I'm running out of something. It took some time to learn (which I totally get. My wife still has to think about it first before saying anything) but I can say "Hey Siri, using AnyList, add orange juice to my grocery store list" or "Hey Siri, using AnyList, add toilet paper to my Costco list" and it just works. Love that.

You can pretty much talk conversationally to most smart speakers now. I think most people and hung up on thinking of the right phrase to say when you can usually just say what you would normally to a person. “Hey siri can you let everyone else know that the food is here?” would work just fine.
