last Thursday, I was trying to clear an old device from my iCloud account. I thought I was focused on that device, hit the button, and it wiped out my current phone. After howling and pounding on the desk for a while, I tried to restart my phone. Of course, it wanted to send me verification codes using the phone number for my phone. but… That number was not accessible. Also, the method of getting a verification code from the settings was not accessible either. and, I did not have another Apple device, which could receive a code.
iOS and iPadOS

Hello. When iOs 10.2 came out I have noticed that english voice Tom now always downloads to my phone when I delete it. Is it a bug and if it is a bug how to fix it? Thank you!

Hi,
I am curious to know what the users of music apps think about the use of the Direct Touch feature of VoiceOver for controls other than those where it is absolutely
necessary, for example, the keyboard area of Garage Band. If direct touch is applied to an element which appears in the middle of the screen, this will disrupt the swiping flow, i.e.

Hi all. Has anyone noticed that the Sticato and accent vibration patterns have changed? The sticato one, pauses before the second buzz, the accent, again a milisecond of a pause. Now, when a text message comes it, it used to be rapid fire, but now, buzz, pause, buzz. Not, buzz, buzz. I realize I can't convey the actual feeling, no pun intended behind this. It just for some stupid reason, I don't like what they've done. Has anyone else noticed, or am i just being crazy? I hope they fix it.

Hello team, I hope and wish you are well.
I would like to report a new problem involving volume control in the control center and its announcement by VoiceOver. This problem appears in iOS 17.1.
What happens now, as shown in the screen recording Attaches to this email, is that VoiceOver announces the previous volume level When we make adjustment with the volume buttons.
Steps to reproduce:
1) make sure that VoiceOver is enabled;

It seems like the volume levels of songs in Apple Music vary. For example: I have a speaker connected to my phone and sometimes have to turn speaker and phone volume up as high as it goes and still isn't loud enough. Any suggestions on a fix for this? Thanks.

I live in Kansas city Missouri and I was wondering if anyone knew of an app, free or paid, that would give me accurate weather. I currently have the weather channel app but when it comes to alerts such as pollen alerts, it doesn't give me those alerts for my location. It decides to give me alerts for Shawnee Kansas. Really? I live there and I have specifically told this app that I live in Kansas city Missouri? Confused here! I have tried to e-mail they're support team and all I've gotten is an automated reply saying that they'll get back to me.

I wonder if anybody else has experienced this situation. I was attempting to buy Weather Gods. For some reason known only to apple, I was told that my credit card was expiring and to update my payment. Aple was wrong my credit card was not about to expire. I updated it on the app store screen and it still wouldn't take the update. I went into settings and into the app store settings for payment and chose the expiration date all over again for my credit card. the phone accepted it this time despite the fact that it was the same one I had put in all along.

I am using an iPhone 12 running IOS 18.2 and this issue did happen sometime back when I was on IOS 17. On the locked screen if you ask Siri to call or text someone using Whatsapp. you would get a response from Siri that says "Something went wrong"
While I was writing this post, I came across a help article that said if you have Face ID enabled on Whatsapp. you will get such a message. Ironically I had Face ID ON for Whatsapp. and turning it off from the settings helped. I can now make calls and send text messages from the locked screen using Siri

Hi Applevis. Hope you're well.
I was wondering what word processors you use with IOS? I know pages, ms word, drobbox, google dox and others. The problem with Pages is bluetooth keyboards do not work properly with pages. I think it's annoying that you have a subscription and just can't pay all together. So, what do you use and how they work for you.
Thank you and have a nice day.

Hello everyone.
I'm an iPhone user from China, I'm sorry I don't speak English, so this post was translated with a translator.
We apologize for any offense to this post.
iOS16 VoiceOver has some problems with Chinese voice, and I don't know where the feedback will be handled.
Many problems Chinese users have already reported to the accessibility hotline, and I have also emailed the accessibility email, but these problems have not been solved.
Let me talk about the problems I found.

Hi,
Perhaps this is not a news for some, but I just discovered that it is possible to send an email in the Mail app by pressing cmd+shift+D (when using an external keyboard). This works exactly the same way as on Mac OS.
Unfortunately, none of the other keystrokes I tried worked though.
Hope this helps.
Best,
Victor

In researching whether the Nest Thermostat would work with SIRI, I came across this App, Thermo Watch. I've never seen this app referred to on Applevis but of course could have missed it. It's one of the greatest apps I've come across if you have or are considering a nest thermostat. Because Nest is owned by Google, it doesn't appear that they will ever make their app work with SIRI. But, thermo watch, as a third party app, does it for you.

Hello team,
Please let me know if there are any workaround for these below issues. I thought I should not update to the iOS 16, but it happened yesterday night automatically.

Hey all! Shouldn't we be able to sample voices before downloading? And it seems sample sounds way better, human and natural than it actually sounds when downloded. Also, Downlod option remains even after download completes.

I purchased THings 3 on Iphone, and decided that it will replace my Reminders and calendar app on my Iphone, but this is not so helpful like what they said.
- Accessibility is not the best, specially in Dragging reminders etc.
- It is not possible to create or edit calendar events, they will be displayed inside your today's view etc, but you should edit them from the calendar app, so same as Ios, you will open your 2 apps to edit somethings.

I've had an iPhone SE 2020 since shortly after it came out. Not as nice as the original SE, but still, I loved the home button and the slim and trim iPhone 8 form factor.
Unfortunately, with iOS 17, it started to develop serious problems. One was that back-to-back SIRI requests never worked. Another was that the player controls in the redesigned native Podcasts app could not be found by dragging around the screen. I could swipe right to them, and I could find them with screen recognition, but they were invisible to a default finger drag.

I'm having a couple of porblemson my iPhone se2020, and I'm considering blowing it up and starting over. The first problem is the app library popping up all the time. This is an old one, but I just got it. I even updated to the latest public beta hoping to make it go away, but no such luck. The second problem is that the CNBC app hasn't worked right in several months, and I'd like to have it back; it works fine on my old phone, and I can't find any complaints about it on newer IOS versions, so I'm pretty sure it is just me.
