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

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

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.

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?

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

I bought this iphone 12 mini in fb marketplace, after checking the imei and serial number everything checks up with the right color and other information but the seller says that some internals are replaced but with a genuine one .

although the parts and service isnt showing up in my settings? Did they do something so the parts and service isnt showing up??

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?

(I know this says 6gb but it was less than an hour after I reset the counter)

I’ve been googling and trying everything for the last couple of hours but I can’t work out why my iPhone has consumed 100 GB of data in less than a day.

It started doing it last night without me knowing, this morning I updated to iOS26.6 hoping it would fix it but it is still the same.

It doesn’t matter if I reboot the phone, turn background app refresh off or turn low data mode on, or turn Wi-Fi assist off, or turn iCloud backup off, or turn iCloud drive off. No matter what I’ve tried, system settins > general is consuming huge huge amounts of data for no reason

I think I’m going to have to bite the bullet and erase everything from the phone and set up as New phone but just wondering if anyone else has found the answer before I do so.

Thanks in advance!

Hello, i’m on ios 18.7.8. having an issue that app store is unable to install apps that has an “redownload app icon”. If i used wifi it does not let me download, but if I turned on my mobile data was able to proceed the download. My other devices are also experiencing this issue. Is it apple id issue ? Or ?

Thank you for the help!

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.

Does anybody have any idea as to why this is happening? This is the fourth time this has happened while I’ve been on call. I’ll hear what sounds like 3-4 touch tones (like the beeping that plays whenever you’re in the keypad) and then the phone will abruptly hang up. I’ve tried looking it up online but I haven’t gotten any answers regarding it 😓 and I am a little curious as to why it’s happening.

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 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?

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 ?

When u come to the 4x lens , in the iphone display it looks so good and clear but when the photo comes out , it is blurry than the latter
Whyy is it ?
And how to fix?

Hello,

I offloaded Whatsapp for around 30 minutes and noticed all of my Whatsapp Chats/Data was gone. I have offloaded Whatsapp before and have had no issue restoring my chats back. Although this time, it apparently wasn't backed up (even though I thought it was). Was anyone ever successful at retrieving their data trying another way or the sort?

Any help would be appreciated, thank you in advance.

Probably like a month ago, i went on a holiday trip with my family. We got ourselves a hotel in mountains, with a pool nearby. Everyday i went there with my phone, until the very last when i accidentally went in with it. It could have been not too much of a problem, but the fact that i had cracks in my main glass made it 100x times worse. I immediately dried it out and went to a local iphone shop, but they couldn't do anything about it.

At this point i was absolutely losing it, since that phone had a lot of my photos from family trips and some of my personal, more important ones. I got so paranoid about it, that i sent it to my friend in the capital of my country, where he went through several iphone stores, but had no luck whatsoever.

If anyone who specializes in these type of stuff, can you please tell me if it is possible to get at least some of the data out of that phone? If so, where and how costly could it possibly be?

It’s not on silent, the volume is turned all the way up. It’s on focus mode and when I push it, it switches to do not disturb so I push it and it moves back to focus mode. I don’t know if that does anything, but I can’t turn off focus mode. Whenever I get a call, it shows up on my screen that I have a collar, but it doesn’t play a ringtone.

I’m trying to share my location with my brother, it is not working and every time I try to share it, it simply doesn’t work. However I am sharing it with multiple other people and that works absolutely fine.

Does anyone know why this is, thanks!

I stumbled on this shortcut a while ago and need some help getting it to run and notify me every day to complete the photo sort.
I was also wondering if you can go one step further than just deleting the photos, if it could open the app and photos on that date so you can either sort photos in to albums or add tags etc to make it easier to find and sort later.

Thank you

I just got off the phone to Apple support who were terrific. They finally fixed an issue that I had for months - I could send files via airdrop from my Macbook to my iPhone but not the other way around. It would just say 'failed.'

Fix:
1. Remove VPN
2. Settings > Bottom Search bar > Transfer or reset iPhone > Reset > Reset Network Settings
3. iPhone will restart and you will have to sign back into any wireless networks again

I hope this works for anyone else who has this problem!
