iOS and iPadOS

Hi, I have an iPhone xs. When I'm on phone calls and need to access the keypad or another feature like mute or speaker, the app runs incredibly slowly. For example, I had to dial into a conference call recently that asked you to enter in a pin to join. I had a really hard time entering in the pin on the phone keypad in a short enough time that it didn't time out. Any ideas how to get around this? Thanks.

For many years and iOS versions I’ve noticed that my phone will occasionally not fall asleep though the auto lock is set to 3 minutes and I would powered off and on the phone or do a hard reset to start things working again properly.
Just recently with the release of iOS 15 I noticed that when this happens if I triple tap the home button to turn voiceover off then triple tap again to put VoiceOver on low and behold the sleeping with auto lock works perfectly until the next time!

High, in the youtube app while I am watching a video, my phone will randomly vibrate. I am running ios 9.3.2 on an iPhone 5 s. why is my phone randomly vibrating? Thanks in advance for any help.

Hey all, I was brouzing through my phone's settings and saw something in the phone section called 'TTY'. What is this for and what does it change with how the phone works, if anything? Thanks, Joseph

I recently updated my SE 2022 from iOS 16.7.2 to 17.2.1. Ever since then I've been having the following strange and annoying issue. I normally keep my phone locked. Sometimes, but not every time when a notification of any kind comes in, Voiceover starts reading it but then the phone goes back to sleep before the whole thing can be spoken. The speech cuts off in the middle of a word and the "screen locked" sound is played.

I have an SE running iOS 18. Earlier today, I tried to make a phone call, and Siri said something like cannot find a connection. I have never run into that before. After a lot of searching, the website for my carrier told me what to do. go to settings, cellular, and find cellular data. Turn that off and back on. Also, if you have a setting that says something like use this line, turn that off and back on also. That seemed to reset things, and everything is working fine now.

I have an IPhone SE running ios11.26. My phone is constantly switching to the speaker phone while on a call. What happens is it makes the lock sound and will go on speaker phone and I have to press the home button and raise the phone back to my ear to get it off speaker. I've had this issue off and on for a while now but seems to be getting worse. I've tried a backup and a restore with the same problem. I've also cleaned the sensor and the area around it. Could this be a hardware problem?

Hello. I updated to IOS 7 last week and my phone went back to its locked carier. Well, let me give you some background on the problem.

I brought a phone, IPhone 4s from sprint last year. The bill got to be too much, So I had sprint turn my service off. I flashed my phone to T-Mobile, but wasn;t satisfied with them. I then asked Att if I could get a sim card from them and nuse my phone. they said yes. Now the problem comes in. I downloaded IOS 7 and now my phone is not working. It keeps saying that it is on the Sprint network, but I have an ATT sim card inside the phone.

Not really anything aggravating to me, but I'm wondering about this. Since updating to iOS 17, my phone occasionally appears to already be awake when I press the side button, which makes it make the door bolt sound and puts it to sleep, or locks it, or what ever it's called.

Hi. Since IOS8.3 came out I've found it often hard to swipe in many apps. Usually I can feel the items beneath my finger if I explore by touch but swiping seems not to allow me to move around the whole screen. Almost as if I'reached the bottom of the screen. It seems worse in IOS8.4 and I'm finding sometimes even explore by touch isn't working fully. I did wonder if my screen was faulty but I thought someone else on here said they were having similar issues. If anyone is having this probelm could you let us know on here please.

I have an iPhone 8 running 13.2. I've noticed that the phone won't ring if the number is not in my contacts list. The only way I know about it is by a notification. It rings normally if the number is in contacts. Also, I never hear a sound when I get a text. I only find it through a notification. What could be the problem?

Forgive me if this has already been mentioned but I thought it might be of interest to the group. Before posting I quickly skimmed the list of topics and didn’t see this specifically called out. I’m not a beta tester for iOS 14 but I did come across this article about photo captions. Sounds like we will finally have the ability to add our own text to photos. One thing that has perpetually frustrated me about iOS is that you can’t name your image files like you can on a Windows PC. This will be one step closer to that, at least.

Hi guys,
Is there any app or service for accurate photo description?
I use both Seeing Ai, Taptapsee, Envision and the native description options on Instagram and Facebook but none of them fully satisfy me.
In Italy we used to have an app, called Bespecular, whereby you would upload the pic you want to have described and a sighted volunteer would send you back an audio or written description.
Unfortunately, the app has been discontinued and no longer works.

hi all, i just got my iphone xr on friday and I have selected the option to navigate images with description, and I do a three finger single tap and the photo won't tell me what it is, it just says rows one to ten of ten or something like that. so what am i doing wrong, has apple changed the jesture?

Some of you might recall that back in september I presented a short paper to a Unesco conference on AI. As the blurring out of faces was a hot topic at the time, I decided I would talk about reconciling facial recognition with law about private information. It was all jolly good fun and looked splendid on Bingo's scholarship CV. A number of you said you'd be interested in the paper and I'm sorry I haven't shared it with you individually.

Greetings.

With the recent release of Microsoft Pix, I have been dabbling with photography on my iPhone 6 again. The Pix app seems to be fairly accessible. I wish I could say that for the iOS Photo Gallery.

When i open the gallery, I see listings by date. I don't seem to be able to find any actual photos. I took two tonight, and I hear an entry for them, but I can't seem to access them to share or delete them.

I can get to a listing that has sections for different types of photos and videos, but again, I can't seem to actually do anything.

Hi: I have a question on how to label photos. I have an IPhone 4S and I am trying to label photos in my camera app. I know how to label the photo; do a 2-finger double tap and then type the name in when I get the edit box. That part is fine. My problem is when I go back in to the camer-roll none of my photos have the label I gave them. When I do tap on a photo and it comes up the name that appears is not what I named it. The label that shows up is the last one I typed in. Does anyone have any tips or tricks when it comes to using the labeling feature? Thanks for all of your help.

Hi,

I work as a health coach.
As part of my job, I’m supposed to post something every day on Facebook.
There’s a group I am a part of, that has albums, and in those albums, are ideas of what to post.
I believe most if not all of the pictures have text associated with them, however, voiceover will not read send text, until I actually save the picture to my phone.
Is there a way I can read the text, before I decide to save the picture?
