It goes without saying: it won’t fix all typos but will DRASTICALLY reduce the amount. If you’re like me rapid typing, fingers first brain second, then you’ll see a major improvement.

can’t stand Preview

as stated in preview — can’t stand Preview — it feels like it wants to be a file explorer — pulls you aaway from “Files” and it doesn’t show images within the folder it opened up so you gotta go back to Files … like what am doing wrong here

First-time iPhone user (iPhone 17) — Is there any way to download files in the background?

Hey everyone!

I'm a first-time iPhone user, currently using an iPhone 17, and I'm finding one thing particularly frustrating.

I download a lot of files from the internet, and whenever I start downloading something, it seems to stop or pause when I switch to another app. I have to stay on the same screen and keep the download page open until the download finishes, which is really inconvenient.

On Android, I could start a download, switch to other apps, lock my phone, and let the download continue in the background.

Is there any way to achieve the same thing on iPhone? Are there any settings I need to change, alternative browsers, or download manager apps that support reliable background downloads?

I'd appreciate any tips or workarounds from experienced iPhone users. Thanks!

iOS 27 timer

Does anyone know how to turn this off? It is far away from my thumb and doesn’t remember the last setting! The previous timer was spot on. 20 os versions to iterate on the perfect UX. then boom. Gone with a single update. This has made me doubt Apple more than most other weird design decisions the last four years!

what is happening to my emoji keyboard?

i remember having a phase where i used the ℹ️ emoji a lot as a replacement for “i-“ whenever something out of pocket would be said. but now in my keyboard autocorrect will want to automatically put “ℹ️ (insert word)” whenever i type “i” and my emoji keyboard looks like this (see picture)

it’s fascinating really! what happened, or what did i maybe do to cause this to happen?

(btw i’m on ios 26.7.1, but this happened on my previous devices as well, first on my iphone 11,
then 16 pro and now 17 pro)

Yahoo Email After IOS 27

I have several email accounts that I access through the iPhone Mail app. Some are Gmail accounts and some are yahoo accounts. Today, I finally updated my 16 pro from IOS 26 to IOS 27.0.1. After the update, all was good and working normally. About an hour later, I opened the iPhone mail app and watched all the emails sitting in my three Yahoo mail accounts disappear in front of my eyes. My Gmail accounts are still showing the emails that were in there before the update. The yahoo emails are no longer on the yahoo server so I can’t “sync” the accounts. I probably didn’t need the emails on my phone anymore but it’s frustrating the crap out of me trying to figure out what happened. Anyone here have any ideas/thoughts/comments? I guess I know why I kept telling myself not to update just yet….

I really thought they’d have a hard-coded exception for this

I travel a lot for work and constantly get this pop-up. Now I like to know when it comes to other networks, this one is just annoying.

For those who don’t know, eduroam is a global network that allows you to log onto the wifi of basically any university, library, or hospital with the credentials of your home institute. So for example, I can log onto Kyoto University’s wifi with my Sydney Uni credentials, and visa versa. I believe the intention is to encourage and allow cross institution collaboration, as for example studying doctors and nurses can access wifi at a hospital without needing to do anything.

Like I said, with other wifi network, I do prefer to know, as it obviously there can be fake wifi networks, but this one is just annoying because I constantly get it while just wandering around, as I know it’s secure as I have to install a certificate to allow my phone to validate that the network is real.

Hot take: New Siri AI spotlight is such a downgrade

it cannot even perform basic functions. Keyboard popup has a delay. It cannot show internet search suggestions from search engines. It is extremely slow to show results from appstore. It struggles to show dictionary (image attached). The search bar to spotlight animation is ass. It even calls the spotlight to use writing tools...

Will my photos synced on iCloud get deleted if i delete them from a device?

I bought an iPad and I set it up where I logged in my apple ID but it also synced my icloud photos and notes, I did not want that, can I just delete the photos and notes from this new device without them getting deleted from my iCloud? I’m sorry if this is a commonly asked question, or really obvious, I just need to know for sure

Everything new in iOS 27 that I actually ended up using in my workout app, and now the Duo

iOS 27 has been out for a few weeks and I've been slowly moving my app over to the new stuff. Some of it is hype, some of it is really good. Here's what stuck.

On-device reading of screenshots and photos. Honestly the best one. You hand the app a picture, it figures out what's in it and fills in the form for you. Doesn't leave the phone. I expected it to be bad and it's not.

Live heart rate zones from the watch. Apps can finally see which zone you're in while it's happening, not just after. And it uses your own zones from Health, so no setup.

Real drag and swipe. Drag to reorder, swipe a row for actions. Sounds boring but every app used to build its own janky version. Now it's the system one and you can feel the difference.

A proper add button in the tab bar. One tab can be that separate round button now. Tiny change, I use it constantly.

Then the Duo, which ate my whole week. Open it and the app goes two columns. Tap an item and it opens beside the list. Fold it halfway, stand it up, and the screen splits: content on top, controls on the bottom.

Curious what you all think. Which iOS 27 thing do you want to see in more apps? Feels like most of them haven't bothered yet.
