I have a question about the operating procedure of the iPhone defaulting into satellite service. Post major storm we noticed that my phones would not allow us to connect to the satellite backup communication because the iPhone was still getting intermittent cell service even though the service that they were receiving via tower signal was that of the tower that had no connectivity (the individual cell tower may have been producing cell SIGNAL, but their ability to transfer data threw microwave or landline was terminated ). Previously, I asked if they could find a fix so that even if the phone is receiving what it is some or very little signal, you could opted to defer to settle in a situation such as this. When left in it’s current programming the phone will not make contact with either communication source leading it to be useless.

After upgrading to iOS system 26, the local name broadcast type is 08, but before upgrading, it is 09 and will be included in the scan resp message; In version 26, the scan resp will also include Manufacturer Specific Data. Before the upgrade, the broadcast message may not necessarily include Manufacturer Specific Data; What I want to ask is, are there any restrictions on Bluetooth broadcasting in version 26? Is it necessary to include Manufacturer Specific Data data? If Manufacturer Specific Data data is included, it may cause fields in the local name broadcast to be truncated and use simple names of type 08

I have created an app and for the final stage i added subscription feature. This works great in testflight, but not when i push out to external testers. I set up what i needed to in apple store connect (i must have done it right as it works in testflight), and i linked it to th emost recent version. Nothing I do seems to get the sub info to display and pull through to the app in the sub box when selected. No price and the usual stuff. I was told send for review. Failed the review and im working on that but something tell sme this is a glitch athat needs fixed on my account maybe. Can anyone help please

Hey guys, I've been searching high and low for some clarity when it comes to this topic. Essentially, what is the legality/risk of using apple music previews in my app. Does Apple license the previews meaning they are fair to use as long as I link to that URL? Do i need to license every song individually? I can not find anything concrete out and while the apple team let my app (that currently plays preview urls) on the app store I know that doesn't necessarily legally cover me. Any input is appreciated, i know this is a pretty niche area.

Hello All, I would like to nominate my app for the coveted position of a “featured app.” However, it appears that I would have had to submitted the app before it went live a few weeks ago. Does anyone have any suggestions? Is there another form out there to fill out the app information for submission? Thank you for any help! Darien Pilates Mastery™

Anyone else's phone die after installed iOS 26 beta? I'm not happy at all. shows that my phone is charging but will not turn on. have tried hard resetting it 50+ times, 5 different chargers.. nothing.

Updated iPhone to 26 beta 2, everything is ok but battery, battery is changed, not original. My phone can't charge higher than 1% and turns off every 5 minutes, even connecting to wireless charger and cable at the same time don't work, restored iPhone thru iTunes.I hope I will be able to install new beta without any problems because loving the new design,hoping for the best. Thanks.

I don't know if this is the right place to raise this, so apologies if not. For years now, I have exported an NFS share from a host Mac which I connect to from a Raspberry Pi on the same network. I configure this by adding a line in /etc/exports - /Users/Pi -mapall=myusername This has always worked flawlessly, but since updating my Mac (M4 Mac Mini) to Sequoia 15.5 last week, it has developed a problem. If the NFS share is not accessed from the Pi for five minutes, it dies, and the Pi's file manager locks up necessitating a complete reboot. If I run a script on the PI which does an ls on the mounted share every 5 minutes, the lockup does not happen. But if I extend the period to 6 minutes, the lockup occurs. Something on the Mac NFS server seems to be dying in an unrecoverable fashion after five minutes of idle. Even with nfsd logging set to verbose, there is nothing helpful in the console logs. I am open to suggestions to further investigate or to try and fix this, but this is basically a showstopper for me - I need to be able to share data between Mac and Pi, and this is now broken.

Exercise caution applying Beta 2 on a Hermes Apple Watch. A number of anecdotes (including my own) that this causes very rapid battery drain, i.e. minutes, followed by a cycle of lower power mode, and very slow charge as battery drain seems as fast as charge so it tops out in low single digit %. Any interaction seems to cause the cycle to recur, rendering the watch in effect unusable. The connection to the phone is also broken, with the Watch app crashing after 1–2 seconds, 100% repeatably. This post is to caution avoidance, but a fix is going to be problematic if the watch can't get anywhere near 50% charge.

Installed the iOS 26 Beta on my iPhone 13 Pro last night, hated it. I wasn't aware that there is a supported way of restoring back to iOS18.5, so I (foolishly) opted to flash the iOS18.5 ispw file onto my device using a 3rd party tool. Now, my device is stuck in a state between. Unable to flash, unable to use itunes to restore, randomly gives error codes during restoration attempts. Worries my device may be lost permanently! Please advise.

In preparing my ipad 7th gen for resale, I factory reset and now it will not power up. Tried hard reset, new cables, different computer. iTunes does not recognize the ipad yet device manager shows it hooked to usb port. Any advice? Thanks!

Hello :-) I‘m not entirely sure, if I‘m on the correct Place here. But I would like to report a Bug with tvOS 18.3 (latest beta) to the Apple Engineers! When maximizing an app, a clear color jump occurs. The home screen is more colorful than the open app! You can easily force this: open an app, e.g. the App Store back to the home screen open the app again now you can see a color jump of the GUI!!! The color becomes paler when the app is open. On the home screen it is more colorful again! The problem occurs with every app! So it is a global tvOS Bug! I can also send an example video if that's helpful! Best regards, Christian :-)

Cannot Install Tahoe Beta 2 because Software Update Dialogue Box will not accept my Password (None in my case). Reports: "User interaction required" Recommendations?

I recently updated to tvOS 26 on my Apple TV 4K (1st generation) and was disappointed to find that apps I restrict no longer appear at all. In earlier versions, restricted apps would still be visible and simply prompt for a passcode — this was much more convenient for adults in the household. Now, if I restrict apps for my children, they disappear completely. To use them again, I have to go deep into settings, turn restrictions off, and even recreate the passcode each time, which is frustrating and impractical for daily use. I also tried adding a Kids user account, but most restrictions still apply system-wide. Only the Apple TV app behaves differently between users. This makes switching between parent and child accounts nearly pointless for managing access. Please consider one or both of the following: 1. Bring back the passcode-on-launch behavior for restricted apps (instead of hiding them). 2. Give each user their own isolated settings environment, like how profiles work on iOS/iPadOS or even a fresh Apple TV—this way, restrictions, home screen, and app access could be personalized. Families are a huge part of the Apple TV audience, and these recent changes have made it much harder to use the device in a shared household. Thank you!

Just did an update from MacOS 26b1 to b2 and now the Mail app crashes on launch (Thread 0 - something to do with fonts and the webkit. Happens every time on launch of the Mail app.

I use DeviceActivityCenter to monitor app usage. For DeviceActivityEvent, I set 30 events, and the threshold of each event increases by 2 minutes: var events: [DeviceActivityEvent.Name: DeviceActivityEvent] = [:] for index in 0..<30 { let threshold = (index == 29) ? DateComponents(hour: 1) : DateComponents(minute: (index + 1) * 2) let name = DeviceActivityEvent.Name("\(prefix)|\(index)") events[name] = DeviceActivityEvent(applications: tokens, threshold: threshold) } After reaching the last DeviceActivityEvent, I will restart directly in DeviceActivityMonitor private func restartMonitoring(activity: DeviceActivityName) { let center = DeviceActivityCenter() let currentEvents = center.events(for: activity) do { try center.startMonitoring(activity, during: schedule, events: currentEvents) } catch { print("Fail: \(error)") } } But I found that after restarting, DeviceActivityEvent will be automatically executed even if I don't use the app. My iOS version is 18.5

After i install ios 26 i can’t go back to other videos after i comment on tiktok videos

Hello everyone, I’m having an issue with the Photos app on my iPhone 13 Pro running iOS 26 Beta 2 (happened in first Beta as well). When I open the Photos app and go to the Collections section, it’s completely blank — no photos, just empty space. The library seems to be working fine and my photos show up in the Library. I’ve tried restarting the phone and force-quitting the app, but no change. Could it be a bug? Also, I just switched from Android to IOS, one week ago, if this detail helps. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Any fixes or suggestions? Thanks in advance!
