EL BROMANCE posted:Rotating the iPad is a natural act due to its size, rotating an iPhone outside of video playback is the act of a heretic. If the Photos app had an option to let you rotate the lightbox despite the orientation lock, I would never need to change it and could remove it from Control Centre.

Big reason I use the Mute switch is it seems to be the only way instagram doesn’t auto start blasting whatever video is on it. There’s probably a setting I’m missing somewhere though.

As long as you mute suggested posts IG is one of the only good ones. I used my mute switch one time over 10 years ago, I guess I could give it up but I also don't know what I would do with an assignable button.

I basically have my phone permanently on silent anyway, but being able to glance at the size and see the little bright orange tab is nice when I’m at the cinema or a theatre show or something and so I know it won’t make any noise. Although having a hardware switch also means we don’t get the option of automating silent/noisy via Shortcuts.

My question to ya'll: Anyone know what the likely cause for the touchscreen not working properly is, even when cleaned and after restarting? Swiping is messed up, and the letter i is straight up not selectable (iPhone 11). My guess is battery swelling or age, as i was planning to replace it (the battery) this year. Might have to move it up to this weekend.

So I am trying to setup a shared photo library for myself and my wife. I am pretty sure have it so it auto shared photos that I take with my camera to our shared library, but is there a way to shared pictures that I save from texts to the shared library? As of now I have to go to photos and select move to shared library for every pic that we save that are texted to us. We basically want to have one photo library between the two of us. We use to just both use the same Apple ID and that worked good, but it seems it messes up our medical data/workout data.

I like many of its features better than iCloud and that includes sharing. iCloud is fine these days probably, dunno about your specific question, I’ve used iCloud shared albums a time or two. Maybe no way around it since apps can’t access your texts / iMessage for most part. Inner Light fucked around with this message at 23:46 on Aug 11, 2023 |

Friendly reminder that Google Photos makes it incredibly difficult to export your photos full resolution with the exif location data in tact. That alone swore me off of Google Photos. Stop compressing my poo poo, Google.

Maybe Apple adds some more features to shared photo library but as of rn in iOS 17 that is not an option.

Is there any (premium?) app which will give me the location history timeline like you get on Google Maps, but which won’t sell/monetize my location history? I realize this might be a pretty niche product to the point it doesn’t exist but curious.

I think there are apps that do that for mileage tracking, for people who need to report that on their taxes. I used one years ago but don’t remember the name.

I was going to post this in HoTS, but this is an iPhone/iTunes issue, and they said that that isn't a computer issue. My iPhone only syncs to my PC correctly every other time I connect it. For example, if I have imported new music not from the iTunes store into iTunes, it will not sync to my iPhone unless I sync a second time. Does anyone know how to fix this? iOS is 16.6, iTunes is 12.12.9.4, iPhone is a second-gen SE, PC runs Windows 11.

Im getting crazy amounts of voicemail spam now. Half dozen times, daily. I have unknown callers silenced, but there’s no way to prevent voicemail spam right? I guess there’s no way to do that without also filtering out the doctors office calling me from a weird unlisted outgoing line, right?

You might be able to add another $5-10 to your phone bill if your cell provider offers spam filtering. No guarantee it works.

I never get the voicemail preview thing fast enough to take the call, but, also it's never calls I would have wanted to take so it's a wash.

Watch Apple keep the price of the 12 and 13 skus exactly the same, replace the 14 lineup with the 15, and the place the 15 pros at a higher price.

Error messages? Are you using an official Apple lightning cable? I'm using the Apple Music Preview with Apple Devices and I find that for some bizarre reason, every time I sync, a random single song that was recently added to my library won't sync and Apple Devices will just say it can't find the file. The file is still there, in the folder it always was located in but suddenly Apple Music won't play it unless I re-add it and I don't get the old iTunes "locate this file" prompt. What I'm saying is, while Apple Music Preview may work better moment to moment, its still not ready for primetime and quite buggy. It also messed up half my album art which it overwrote with a random podcast's cover art. Stick with iTunes for now.

Overcast’s interface updates and lack of a global queue / up next system that works finally broke me this week. I tried out each of the big podcast apps again and re-settled on pocket casts for now. I can select an episode, pick ‘up next’ and it will be played next, followed by everything else I’ve already queued. This concept seems to have been lost to Marco Arment of overcast. The button exists but it doesn’t work. Anything else new & worthwhile in the market beyond Apple Podcasts, Castro, downcast, overcast other than the horrifying idea of using Spotify for podcasts?
