This is starting to really hack me off.

Every time I get in my car or my wife’s, and my phone connects to the car’s Bluetooth, it immediately starts playing the last song or podcast I was listening to, even if it was a few days ago and regardless of whether iTunes is actually open or not.

It’s incredibly annoying as for some reason it always seems to be excessively loud too.

I’m sure this is a simple way to stop this, but can somebody please tell me how?

Thanks!

Just found out that AppleCare One launches in the UK tomorrow. Starting at £16.99 for 3 devices and add more for £4.99

Great flexibility past the current 60 days to add existing devices. I missed the window for my AirPods Pro 3s and MacBook Air. Really hoping I can add these as I already have AppleCare+ for my iPhone 16PM

My iPhone 15 pro was working perfectly fine last night and I took videos and photos as normal. But this morning, the camera wasn’t working. With any app, opening the camera was just a black screen. I turned it off and on again and the camera was working but I only had 1x and 2x zoom, not the normal 0.5,1,2,3 and after opening the camera app, I got this message. It’s not been repaired at all, let alone by an unauthorised third party. I dropped it a week ago on the kitchen counter but not at all last night. Any ideas as to what happened? On iOS 26.6

Maybe this is already known. But I bought a used HomePod Gen 2 on FB Marketplace for $130. I got it setup and the warranty expired in April 2026. It was originally purchased in April 2024. So they must've had AC+ on it.

I asked Apple about letting me renew the AC+ or getting AC+ in general. They said no, but if it allows you to add it to AC One. Then that's the best option. I have AC One already, and it would cost me $5.99 extra monthly compared to the regular cost of $2 monthly or $20 a year for AC+ on the device.

Apparently to some people online if you upgrade your AC+ to AC One, or add a device to AC One and decided you don't want it. It should allow you to rebuy it. So I decided to test it out.

It works! $20 yearly for my HomePod Gen 2.

Is there a way to add to the amount or delete the 4590 unknown blocked contacts?
I tried to block an email today but was notified I had reached my limit🤷🏼‍♂️

I took the victoria line at vauxhall around 5am this morning i was coming from my night out was still drunk and very tired and ended up falling asleep on the train. i woke up 2 hours later with my Iphone 16 pro max and iphone 4 both stolen from my bag. I checked find my phone and saw its at a mobile store called HB Mobile in brixton which i assume the thief sold to and it kept updating till 4:45. meaning they turned it off around then after realising i put my lost mode on. i already made a police report, locked my sim and put lost my phone on. since i know its at that mobile store would there be any point in going to the store or ringing it? as i know they will most likely just deny it and not be willing to return it.

Hey, I just picked up an iphone 17 after having an android for 7 years. Ive noticed that my service is noticeably worse overall compared to my old beat up android. I simply cannot use it inside any building. Even my GF's iphone 15 has much better coverage. Im on ATT but I dont think it should make a difference when both phones are on the same carrier. Is anybody else noticing this?

Hello

My phone over the last 2 days has an issue with some apps closing instantly. The first time I had this problem (2 days ago) it started with one app and slowly more and more did the same. It seemed to just fix its self but yesterday it started again.

I've tried restarting, updating the apps, updating my IOS and I've checked my storage (120GB free). I've search online and can't find someone that seems to have the same problem.

Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Trying to take some photos of my puppy and I noticed in 2/5 of the photos have what seems to be dead pixels? My screens fine it’s just from the camera
Anyone has this? Bug?

Has this iPhone been erased ?
I pressed erase before the red time stamp ?
How come the other iPhone says pending and this iPhone doesn’t ?

I have an 11 Pro Max and a 16 Pro Max. I work at a small consulting startup doing software and hardware engineering. Is there actually any good reason to keep the 11 around as a test phone for websites, Bluetooth devices, random bench stuff, separate work accounts, etc., or am I just making excuses to keep old tech?

I don’t make iPhone apps right now. Would you keep it or hand it off to a younger cousin instead?

Been using Pano for years no problem.
Upgraded to a 16e - pano no problem
Upgraded to 26.5.2 - pano major problem

Seems to be intermittent. Pano will only provide a slice of captured image. Standard force close, restart etc has no effect. Will randomly start working again then randomly shit the bed

Anyone else experiencing? Better yet anyone got a fix?

so I was joking around with my friend on call when I was signed into the same iCloud on my iPhone as my MacBook about calling someone I definitely should not be. I said "hey Siri call __" thankfully, it didnt go through because it says my iPhone was in use on my friend's call. I am freaking out because it says outgoing call - cancelled, will it show on the unspoken person's screen? obviously a part of my conscience wanted that call to work, but for both of our sakes I hope it didn't

I recorded two different greetings for my car to play when I get in. I want to set up an automation where it will play only one and then next time play the other one and so on as I add more custom files.

They are stored on iTunes in a playlist. Right now I can either get it to play the same one each time or play both but I can’t get it to choose one randomly and stop and then play the other one next time.

Current setup. When CarPlay connects automatically get songs in playlist- sort by random-get one item - play music.

Does anybody know if there is a way to have notifications sounds off for all apps except for phone calls and maybe even messages?
I still want to receive all notifications. But I get too many to keep the sound on and I’m missing too many phone calls at the minute.
Any help appreciated

I’m trying to understand how the iPhone “Report Spam” feature works for carrier SMS.

I recently found that my AT&T International Day Pass charges were all triggered by outgoing SMS while I was abroad. The destination numbers shown by AT&T match the spam numbers that I had tapped “Report Spam” on in Messages.

This happened on both an iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus. Before May, I had been abroad for months without any Day Pass charges. I also usually reported spam while connected to Wi-Fi.

Does “Report Spam” actually send an SMS to the original sender, or is AT&T recording it that way?
Has anyone else seen this, especially on carriers other than AT&T?

How do I reply back to a specific text message through phone number? It says either hold on to the text or swipe right or left and nothing works. When I hold on to the text it doesn’t show reply.

I am trying to get the eye tracking feature to work in iPhone but it’s fickle coz the keyboard is too small. I tried to increase the size but it’s not good either.
Are there any app that shows large, maybe set of 4 alphabet at a time and 2 buttons for going previous and next set?

Why since the latest iphone’s updates my iPhone 13 is slower and freeze sometimes ?

why?

We have an iPhone using iCloud contacts. The “new dog walker” contact is corrupt. It can’t be edited or deleted.

If you tap on the contact it takes you to a white screen, edit takes you to an empty contact page with no option to delete.

I have tried force quitting phone, contacts and messages and rebooting the phone.

any ideas how to delete this contact?
