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.

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

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!!!

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.

I finally have a working version of my first Apple shortcut build worth mentioning after an admittedly steep learning curve the last few months.

The shortcut fixes the EXIF dates on an Instagram archive dump I recently pulled from my account. I was able to do it all without leaving iOS or using the terminal!

When I pulled the IG archive, I was unhappy to find that the export had hundreds of photos spanning years, but all stamped with the same export date. The only surviving date info was the folder names ( YYYYmm ). The shortcut makes a backup archive then reads those folder dates, and rewrites each photo’s EXIF capture date to the first day of that month.

I used the Shortcuts Actions app, since Apple gives you no native way to write EXIF dates. It works, but I’m sure a more experienced eye could tear the build apart. Anyone want to review the shortcut or trade notes on handling the video files? Happy to share the link and the full breakdown.

Or if you just need your IG dump EXIF dated, I hope you can use this!

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?

Edit: I just went to double check my Settings again, hoping to find something, and under Display & Brightness, at the very bottom, I'm pretty sure there's a setting that wasn't there before. "Display Zoom" was set to Larger Text, and changing it to Default immediately brought everything down to a size that actually seems even smaller than I was able to get it before.

I suppose I received some kind of update it just didn't tell me about? I have no idea why Larger Text would be the default setting, when the smaller option is literally called Default. But that seems to be problem solved.

I've just woken up and went to check my notifications, and everything on screen is noticeably larger. Notifications, text in apps, the keyboard, even navigation buttons in Safari are running into each other. Bizarrely, the only thing that doesn't seem to be blown up is the Settings.

Zoom is not enabled, I have the text size set to the minimum it will allow (which was already larger than I really wanted it to be), and I did not restart the phone of receive any updates that I'm aware of.

I can't find any information about this happening to anyone else, or even a hint at how to possibly fix it. Is there any way at all to get the text size or display scaling to go any smaller? A third party app or a hidden developer setting? Do I need to jailbreak my phone just to get reasonable text sizing? It feels like nothing fits on the screen and it's borderline unusable.

I'm on an iPhone 17 running iOS 26.5.1

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!

No idea how long this has been a feature

I started using the reminders app and the large widget a few weeks ago, and I’ve been able to not only mark items as completed but also scroll up/down, add and move around items. Now suddenly I can no longer do that, except for marking items as completed.

Does anyone know if this is a bug, and if it is, is there a way to fix it?

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!

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!

Help ! There’s this toolbar that suddenly appeared on the top part of my screen while I was typing in Messages. I don’t know what triggered it but I wasn’t able to take a screenshot of it. I wanna know how I can make it show up again. 😅 Anyone have any idea about it ?

I have had my live activities on for Apple Sports and ESPN Fantasy so they would automatically turn on whenever any of the teams I follow on Apple Sports plays a game, and whenever there were NFL games being played for ESPN Fantasy Football. Over the past two weeks or so, they have not turned on automatically. If I manually go on Apple Sports and click "Follow", the live activities will appear. No way to manually do it for Fantasy. I have looked through all settings both on settings app and on individual apps. I've restarted my phone multiple times. I've deleted the apps and redownloaded them. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

just updated my phone to the newest iOS this week. Since then my phone stops charging around half way through (does not start back up) and my alarms I have used for years do not make and sounds anymore. Please help!

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?
