My Health app is using 1.65 GB for documents and data. Is this just going to grow forever? No idea what is using the space, maybe all the running workout data?

Oh wait, it is broken down but baffling…

I have a 64GB 11 Pro, it has so little free space iMessage will randomly not download pictures. iMessage takes like 40GB but the conversation-clearing ones are useless, and auto-uninstalling apps only got me a few "This is no longer available on the App Store" messages for things I really liked. I hate janitoring but I'm trying to milk it until September.

Also yeah Health is one of my top users too.

I'm happy that Apple decided to show full album artwork on the lock screen now in 16.6. They should have done that a long time ago. Now if they could only fix my main issue with Apple Music is when I say I don't like a song to never play it again on my station. But it's still happening.

64 GB so that is 2.5% of the total storage, and the third highest after Photos and Music.

Just out of curiosity, what’s your next size gonna be? I just checked my storage on 128gb. After deleting and then reinstalling discord (which somehow ballooned up to 17GB?? I wish iOS has the ability to clear cache for each app), I have about 50% storage left. I’m debating whether or not I want to step up to 256GB.

I only use my lefthand when doing comments on TikTok because I hit "send" on the keyboard so much if I two thumb type and have done so at comically offensive points in a sentence and just hope I successfully deleted them before the receiver saw them.

If I want to try the iOS 17 beta do I still need to create an archived backup from iOS 16 if I change my mind? Or did they fix that?

You don't necessarily need a backup. However, if you want to roll it back to iOS16 and want to restore a backup, the backup would have be on 16.

I should also mention that you cannot 'update' from 17 to 16. It needs to be a full wipe/restore to 16. This also goes for all their other operating systems.

I’m going to get 256 because I don’t ever want to janitor my messages or my meager amount of apps again.

emptyquote my posts or die
trying to switch over from Android to iOS, and having an annoying issue where my number appears as if it were someone else in almost every single chat. For example: group chats list out everyone else plus my phone number, and 1-on-1 chats appear as a three-person chat, listing the other person and my own phone number as the other people.

It's really weird because the duplicate being displayed has my exact phone number (double checked that they were identical). It's an annoying issue because I feel like I can't respond to any 1 on 1 texts without turning them into group chats that include two of myself?...

Tried googling the issue but google sucks unimaginably now - the issues that come up are similar but different ones. Any advice?...

Have you poked around in Settings > Messages? You can choose to send/receive iMessages to your phone number, or Apple account. I have a feeling there may be something amiss there?

It sounds like something related to that. Very weird.

My oldest are from 2013, and I have under 2 GB total on my phone. iCloud says 15 GB. (I do delete things, though.) Are you all not using iCloud Messages?

Free yourself, click the option in settings to delete a message after 1 year.

Press and hold on what you want moved down into “more” and drag it to the bottom of the screen and I’ll pull it down into that sub menu. Likewise press and hold on what you want moved up or rearranged and drag them around.

I have a gif keyboard that doesn’t show up anywhere in the list like it used to in 16. How do you get something in that list? Or even remove it? I don’t exactly need Southwest Airlines in there…

For me it suggests and autocorrects to quantity when I type wuantity, so you might want to try resetting your dictionary or something.

Everybody can put the stamp, but only a few will reply if you request the certification paperwork. Just get Anker or Aukey old stock if you find them cheap.

Got my mind on doritos and doritos on my mind.
I replaced the battery (was <80% capacity) on my 12 mini about a month ago because it was losing charge pretty quickly and was often warm to the touch. Still having the problem a month later with the new apple store replaced battery. It drops from 100% to 70% in 2 hours overnight while doing nothing! New battery is 100% capacity. Literally no data in the battery usage section for those 2 hours. I cleared out a bunch of space by offloading photos, iOS updated, turned off Bluetooth, stopped sharing my location, turned off background app refresh, literally everything I can think of to improve battery performance. Is it time to just factory reset and set up as a new device? Anyone else have this problem and that fixed it?

They got got for fake amazon reviews when amazon decided to prove they were ~doing something~ about the problem.


e: it is, of course, still possible to buy a five-pack of five-star rated, 1000+ review FLMNKSBIOUWGR brand MFI certified lightning cables for $3 that will literally start falling apart before you can plug them into your phone
