iPhone 15, iOS 18.7.8

i’m so lost. why does my Photos app stay at 17gb no matter how much I delete? is it downloading photos back onto my phone from iCloud when it sees there’s space? how do i make it NOT do that?
and tiktok seems to hover at 11 gb despite getting rid of 9.2gb of drafts. what the fuck is going on? do i have malware on my device? because im genuinely lost. im obviously going to have to factory reset but im worried if my hypothesis is right, the photos app issue will remain the same.

I just bought an iphone 15 and its stuck on the hello screen. as soon as i try swipe up it flickers to the password screen and then goes back to the hello screen, ive put it into recovery mode and i am trying to do a software update with apple devices and it gets to the last gigabyte and then it says software for the iphone was corrupted during download. how can i fix this?

Hello,

I just noticed that this app had its icon blank (it’s mostly white with guides lines) both in my “desk” and in my search bar. When I click on it, it seems to work fine (even if since it’s a college linked app I can’t really check all the way if it works) and most weirdly, when I stop using it, the icon goes back normal again for a few seconds.
Does that indicated something wrong with my phone or with the app ?

hey yall, I need help! My iPhone keeps disconnecting and connecting to my wifi on loop. This shit keeps happening in intervals of like 1-2 seconds and it’s really annoying. I have tried to forget the network on my iPhone and then reconnect. Sometimes if I turn the wifi off on my iPhone for a bit and then turn it on, the issue gets resolved. But then it just randomly starts the disconnect-connect loop again. This has happened 3-4 times in the past month. Also, this issue is just with the one service provider and my iPhone. It can connect to other networks and stay connected. But with my own WiFi at my apartment, my iPhone decides to play 😞

It is not a service provider or modem issue because the rest of my devices haven’t faced any such issue and the wifi on them is running perfectly.

As the title suggests ive recently lost my iphone 12(this will be long.)So recently about a week ago I happend to go down to my car to vist a bowling alley whilst getting in thr car i realised my phone wasnt in my pocket I realised it may be in my home however once I got home it was nowehere their.Now instantly I did find my it showed phone last online 11 35pm(for the record i left at around 8 and my phone probably died) in my houses area.Now ive checked my house fully closet,couches and furniture however it wasnt their im not even entirely sure if it is even in my house as im only about 70% sure I didnt take it down.I hope I can find some help here thanks for reading

Hi everyone,
I have an iPhone 16 Pro Max which seems to be running ok. It glitches now and again and is slow sometimes, but the main issue is that I have a cracked camera lens on the backside of the phone. The photos seem normal, but obviously this bothers me a lot. I do have AppleCare.

Should I fix the camera screen with AppleCare and just use this phone or should I upgrade to an 18 Pro Max? I was meaning to upgrade this year or next anyway. Does it make sense to get this fixed by AppleCare before I submit it for a better turn in value?

Appreciate all your advice!

My Google Maps is taking up 67.5 GB. This is a crazy amount of data. Why is it using so much and how can I fix it?

Edit: iPhone 14; iOS 27.2.1 (24B156)

Been trying to factory reset my mom's phone (14 pro max)to keep it (Since she bought a new one) and when I put in the Icloud's password when they ask me, it just goes to that screen and stays like that forever. Been trying since yesterday, already restarted the phone.

Any solution?

Thanks

How can I transfer my data if the old phone is in recovery mode?

I wanted to share my experience for anyone else dealing with this annoying issue.

There’s this setting called voice dial in the Touch ID and Passcode menu. When it’s activated, your iPhone can place calls even when it’s locked, using just voice commands.

The problem is that it can be triggered accidentally, especially if you have headphones plugged in. Honestly, the voice recognition isn’t great either. Just to see how it worked, I coughed into the mic and it ended up calling someone from my contacts randomly.

So if you’re facing this issue, just turn off voice dial, and hopefully, that solves it for you!

Hi everyone. I'm having an issue where my headphones/speakers sound very quiet even though the volume is turned all the way up to 100%. I've already checked the headphone safety settings. Is there any trick, setting, or safe volume booster app for iOS that actually helps with this? Thanks for any advice.

Hello I have tried multiple times to update my iPhone 11, via iTunes, via the phone after clearing a lot of storage- nothing works, every time there's an error. but I need to update because a lot of apps are not functioning on the iOS I am on anymore. I read a comment about trying 3 u tools. but there's such mixed reviews I can't afford to break the phone. is there a step by step guide to increase chance of success with 3 u tools? thank you

iPhone 11 to iOS 27 - has anyone successfully used 3 u tools to update phone?

Hi All. Today out of the blue Airdrop between my iPhone 15 pro using ios 26.7.3 and MacBook OS Tahoe 26.7.3 stopped working.

Here's what happened: I went from photos on my iPhone and began to airdrop a single photo to my Macbook, it asked me for a 6 digit code to confirm the transfer between my iPhone and MacBook (its never asked me for a code before). After entering the code the one picture then Airdroped to my mac as I wanted. After that 1st airdrop, I went to send more photos again, but this time my MacBook would not show up in the Airdrop page on my iPhone. I then spent the whole afternoon updating to latest software, triple checking all settings, and even reset network settings on both devices. After I did the network reset on my iPhone it did the same thing as the 1st airdrop, it asked me to confirm a 6 digit code between my iPhone and Macbook and the single photo transfer worked. Then I tried to send another photo afterwards and again the same problem started all over again. Does anyone have any insight what could be causing this issue? Airdrop was working fine except for today all of a sudden, I didn't change anything on my end. If you could assist please let me know, thank you!

How do I remove the “T-Mobile WiFi” from top left?

He estado probando unos nuevos iconos usando la app de atajos, vi un tutorial que decía que se en atajos ponía nada y luego seleccionabas la app que querías abrir se quitaba la típica notificación molesta de atajos cuando abres una app con un icono no oficial. ¿Me funcionó? Claro que si el problema que es el único método que he encontrado para quitar esas notificaciones, pero por culpa de eso, las apps no hacen la típica animación de entrada y salida y eso me quita mucha estética en el iPhone. ¿Alguien podría ayudarme a solucionar esto?

Hopefully I make sense but I can’t find the solution to this anywhere. How do you keep unopened notifications from going away? I have an iPhone 16 Pro updated to the most recent iOS. When I swipe down at the top of the screen, I see my recent notifications. But after a few days or a week, the oldest ones will go away. Is there a time limit on these unopened notifications? Like texts I haven’t opened (I know, sorry) go away after about a week and then I forget about them. Does anyone know how to fix this so my notifs neverrrr go away???

I found an old phone that belonged to my Dad and I was curious about if I could retrieve anything off of it. I put it on the charger in the morning and it’s been in the starting animation since then. Does anyone know how to fix it, or if there isn’t a way to fix it?

I also have icloud but this is specifically a phone storage issue.
my questions are:

why am I being barred from taking photos/videos when I clearly have a ton of space?

how is this legal?

I have 2 young kids and love having my phone to take pictures, but I am one inconvenience away from doing away with smart phones because it just seems like this huge money grab that is more hassle than it is helpful.

eta: I have an iphone 16 and currently have ios 27.2
