Is there any way to workaround or otherwise stop Siri forcing me to unlock my iPhone before it can confirm what time an alarm is set for? I’m not wanting to set an alarm, change an alarm or delete an alarm, just check if one is set and what time for, but it forces me to unlock my iPhone before it’ll tell me. Am I doing something wrong?

How come I can control my entire home via Siri without my phone being unlocked, but I can’t confirm what time an alarm is set for‽

How is sending a text with my voice still this frustrating in 2026. Apple dictation is actually driving me insane. I say a sentence and then spend longer fixing than it would've taken to type. WHY.

Ans the alternative make this even more annoying. WHY is Apple's dictation so crap but they are blocking literally every other software trying to solve problem? Brother Im replying "yeah sounds good let's meet at 3AM" to a message . Why are we doing all this.

I use Willow voice on my Mac and it's a DREAMMM! no drama whatsover. Which makes me going back to dictation on my iphone so much painful because I KNOW how good this can be. Ive resorted to replying to all of my messages and emails on Mac because Willow voice just gets everything Apple dictation doesnt

Apple please please please wither fix your dictation or let me use something else without the whole app switching routine. I do not have this muchh patience for a microphone button

The messages are being sent and received but not in order I think, at least not properly, it’s not at all ordered based on time I sent, clumped up in the bottom with all my sent messages not according to the order I sent You see the blue bar at the top going from left to right, that’s the problem wtf is that doing there when there is plenty of internet connection

Ps: It happens in all chats, ICloud is full but iMessages is on for backup, everything works fine for a while when I restart the phone, also sometimes it’s all my messages disappeared and only the replies I got is shown on the screen on the left side stacked up, else it’s all my messages first then all of their messages under it.

I really need some effective advice it’s been happening since 2 days and it’s really annoying and bugging me.
Where are the top experts and troubleshooters 😭😭

So i just updated from 27 to 27.0.1 and the visual image search within the screenshot tool got removed? It was available with 27 and now it disappeared.

I’m having some bugs with my iPhone 15, so I’m planning to back up my entire iPhone to iCloud, factory reset it, and then restore everything from the iCloud backup.

Is this safe? Will my iPhone be exactly the same as it was before the factory reset, including my apps, settings, photos, messages, and other data?

I want to back up and restore using a computer, but I don’t have access to a PC or Mac. That’s why I subscribed to Apple’s 2TB iCloud+ storage.

Can anyone explain how this works and whether there’s anything I should be careful about before resetting my iPhone?

Hello!
I have a contact in my Contacts that I keep try to unblock but keeps coming back as blocked. Have people had this problem before? Is there a solution?

I’ve tried looking at all the places their numbers are to see if its blocked in other ways but I can’t find any duel contact situations.

Any help would be appreciated!

In my notes app on my phone and my laptop, one of my notes are gone. I had so many things written in it, I need it. I don’t why it’s gone. I didn’t delete it, it’s not in recently deleted. I seriously don’t I even had it open, so it’s not like I accidentally pressed “Select All” and the delete, which if I did I would’ve noticed because I’m very careful with that. My stomach hurts and my hands are shaking. I don’t know what to do. I don’t know how Apple could help. I even tried the Settings thing to see the iCloud sync thing but the number of items it says I have in my notes isn’t showing like a missing one. I feel stupid I feel like I should’ve put it in Google docs or something. I feel like I should’ve never opened the app today cause I was writing notes on a different tab and I feel like that screwed something up somehow.

please help. I dont use Reddit that much so I don’t know how to make my post gain attention, but please.

When taking a screenshot, there is plenty of space at the top to add a single-tap "Save to Photos" button. This would be much faster than tapping the checkmark and selecting "Save to Photos" from the slow and annoyingly animated context menu.
ai-slope concept suggestion attached.

Swiping only opens the camera. Long press only gives me "use pass" option. I'm not at any reader.

This is a screenshot of the ADP Mobile app on my iPhone XR which is still stuck on iOS 18. And well… I thought liquid glass was impossible on iOS 18, but here we are. It’s the only truly liquid glass element in the app and on my phone, but it gave me a surprise. I guess it is possible somehow to make it work? Not complaining btw, I rather like it. I need to see if there’s some way to build my own app that can actually use it on iOS 18 to keep me occupied for another month or two until I maybe trade in the phone to get a new one.

Night stand was working well until the iOS 27 update on my iPhone 17. updated to the latest iOS 27 didn't solve the issue. Flashing the software from scratch and set it up as a new phone didn't solve the issue. Turning on Always on display didn't help either.

Any of you have the same issue? or is it an one off case?

I rarely have my ringer on, but have been occasionally flipping my silent switch off.

Is it still an ongoing glitch to have the volume reset to full loudness despite always setting it to minimum?

Latest iOS and iPhone 13pro

This error comes up whenever I try to create a temporary shared album. Please give me a fix.
-iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 27.0.1

trying to do do a little paintbrush edit in markup and now for some reason these blue dots are appearing and won’t let me paint where I want to. And when I touch the area a text box like suggestion appears, then when I touch that it changes what I’ve painted into “two asterisks.” Seems like some weird auto correct type thing but it’s ruining what I’m trying to do and I’m irate.

screenshot obtained from app privacy report -> whatsapp. i’ve shared my screen on whatsapp calls for, maybe, 5 mins at a time? but it seems like whatsapp continues to access my phone’s screen recording for days at a time until the phone is shut off at some point.

is this normal? does this mean whatsapp is constantly watching my screen?

for context, no, it doesn’t say anything in the control center after i stop sharing. just wondering why whatsapp is continuing to use this permission. thanks guys!

I am actual seconds away from throwing my iPhone into oncoming traffic. Please help me rescue my Billie Eilish concert videos. 😭💀
I just want to watch my 43 concert clips from last year and scream along to the music, but Apple has trapped them in a digital prison. Every time I hit play, I get the dreaded: "An error occurred while loading a higher quality version of this video." No video, no audio, just immense sadness.

I aggressively deleted files and now have 18 GB free on my physical phone and 2 GB free in iCloud. But when I try to toggle "Sync this iPhone" back on to wake it up, my phone completely gaslights me with a popup saying: "More iCloud Storage Needed." It claims my library is 33 GB, which is obviously way more than my free 5 GB plan.

So now my videos are stuck as unplayable local "ghost files." Restarting, duplicating, editing, using Markup, and trying to upload the folder to Google Photos or MEGA absolutely did not work. The 246 photos uploaded fine, but the 43 videos failed immediately. Please help me break my memories out of Apple jail!

No idea how long this has been a feature

I just want to edit the number i’ve circled in red but i can’t find a way to change it other than deleting everything after it and writing it all again. I know ive gone and done the thing where you spend 20 minutes writing a reddit post about an issue with a 5 second fix but what if you’ve written out a super long equation and need to go back and edit something near the beginning after taking multiple measurements or something? Even the $20 casio scientific calculator i normally use has a cursor for editing things, so i don’t see why there wouldn’t be a cursor in the iphone calculator. I’m also aware that math notes is a thing, but if you’re gonna tell me about that i’m sure you also know that math notes genuinely sucks nuts and doesn’t work a good 85% of the time on iphone. I am specifically asking about the scientific calculator function in this app. If you have an answer, thanks!!!
