Is there a way to unreport a text message as spam. I just accidentally did it and didn’t mean to.

No way. You don’t say that a small “motor” rumbling every .5 seconds as you type might lower the battery life?

(shot on an iPhone 13 Pro, I still can't bring myself to upgrade to 14 Pro when the benefits are soooooo marginal, even though on the Upgrade Program it's almost hurting myself not to upgrade)

e: It appears I fixed it by rebooting the phone, not happening anymore :)

e2: nevermind still happening :(

This is easily fixed.

Yeah Siri voice tends to go to drunk disjointed mode for random reasons for me but that goes back to iOS 15. I can’t figure out why it does that some times but not others.

Yup I get this as well and I have no idea why.

My iPhone 14 Pro Max was delivered yesterday, set it up just fine and everything was working properly, upgraded to iOS 16.0.2, and Face ID stopped working. The camera refuses to register my face is within the required frame. Tried resetting Face ID and then tried restoring from a backup, but still no joy. Guess an Apple Store visit is in my future. :v:

Sorry about your face.

I just realized that if you hard press while on the lock screen it gives you the option to switch between pre-set wallpapers. Not sure I totally get the use case of this. Maybe one with the work week and one for the weekend? idk

I almost kinda don’t like it because I’ve triggered it by accident a few times now.

The search in the settings app is sure useless. Here I was wondering why my phone didn't want to charge until I've unlocked, and apparently stopped after a while. I seemed to remember a setting back on my 12 Pro, that I toggled. But gently caress me if it were easy to find. You'd figure typing "USB" in the search field would make it show up. But nope. Eventually the interwebs helped me find the "USB Accessories" setting in Face ID -> Enable when Locked. Thanks Tim Apple.

This is a common theme with the settings app.

When I was trying to remove the search button from the Home Screen typing search didn’t come up with it which is dumb because it’s actually a toggle for search on the Home Screen

Has anyone else been having issues with spotlight search? When I search for some things, it behaves as if it's not searching at all. For Maps in particular, it doesn't give me the app itself as a result.

So my dad gave me an iPhone 11 64 to see if I could sell but I’m not quite sure what to do with it. The battery is at 99% but the screen for some reason has these two bright white spots on it.




I checked swappa and the 11 seems to be going for like $280 but they don’t have any screen issues. A new screen is $199 from Apple so a replacement isn’t worth it.

What would be a halfway decent price for this? I’m not even sure how the screen got like this.

Maybe it's an issue with pressure being applied under the screen to those spots

Maybe he doesn’t do any of those apps though.

Anyone know what a fair price would be? Or if a goon needs it make an offer.

As I’m sure you know, Verizon roaming is $10 a day, and is triggered by an outgoing text message, any incoming or outgoing call, or data usage. You *should* get notified of you trigger that. Which , honestly will tell you if you need to tweak a setting or whether it is working correctly or not.

Does Verizon still have that ridiculous 500mb data cap for international roaming?

It looks like 2020 iPhone SEs are ~$150 on eBay which is like... the cost of repairing my current Pixel 4a. Can I buy any of those and hook them up to my Verizon account? I'm not really sure how this works.

I’d check swappa before eBay though.

You might pay a few $$ more but you shouldn’t have to worry about any issues with lost or stolen phones.

Is there such thing as a weight scale that puts data into Apple Health automatically, or is opening an iPhone app every time just a necessary step?

If you use an app frequently it will like 99% of the time update it automatically. If you rarely use the app it pushes it out to some whatever date.

If you have monthly AppleCare+, does it show up somewhere in Settings? We can’t find it on my wife’s phone, but she also got it replaced once already so maybe that screwed it up. I just want to change the credit card.

I looked for mine a few weeks ago and it’s not on the phone. You need to log in on the web to see it.

You can see the coverage in the Apple support app but I couldn’t figure out how to change the credit card on it though.
