For Android I've used SyncThing for ages. Any way to break out of the Apple ecosystem for photo syncing?

WWDC25: macOS Tahoe Breaks Decades of Finder History. A passionate history of the Finder icon in MacOS.

I have noticed recently that when I print on iOS (iPhone or iPad) that it prints the headers and footers ave I cannot find an option to disable it.

I installed my printer's app to see if there is an option in there to disable them and there is nothing.

When I print from my MacBook there is an option to disable them in the print dialog.

Is it possible to disable headers and footers on iOS when printing from Safari?

I am one of those ND that controls their divergence with alarms. And yesterday I ended one of my work alarms instead of snoozing it. This caused me to miss placing my weekly order with one distributor.

When I was an android user I had an app called Alarm Clock Xtreme. 7/8ths of the screen was a snooze button, and there was a small button to end the alarm. You could configure the snooze duration. And when ending, or snoozing you could require a puzzle, or solution of a variable difficulty math problem.

This prevented me from ever ending an alarm when I meant to snooze it.

Sadly the android app I used does not have an iOS counterpart. Does anyone know of an alarm app that at the very least is difficult to turn off?

I am willing to pay for an app, but will not do a subscription.

I'm not a regular user of iOS, but was given an old iPhone 7 and got an AirPort Express, so I'm looking for an app that allows me to stream music from Youtube to my stereo. :D

The app was already in the EU AppStore but recently it was approved for the global AppStore too! This app allows you to run JIT for supported side loaded apps without the need of jailbreaking or using another device (you do need a PC to set it up though). With this you can emulate Wii, Nintendo Switch (YES THE NINTENDO SWITCH) and 3Ds with more apps to come because they have yet to add support for this method.

Apple did say that they plan on patching this method, making it obsolete in the future. It is generally expected to be patched in iOS19.

I will go back to my iPhone 12, visionOS design look so pretty.

how do you manage your pictures (saved, screenshots, wallpapers, etc.) vs. your photos on your ios device? if you use the photo app: how do you separate them?

I saw this list of Adobe alternatives floating around Blue Sky yesterday. I was wondering if there was something similar for iOS apps. Open-source and/or free alternatives to subscription based apps owned by mega corps. Also open to alternatives made by indie developers.

The iOS 18.3.2, iPadOS 18.3.2, macOS Sequoia 15.3.2, and visionOS 2.3.2 updates that Apple released today include an important security fix for a WebKit vulnerability that may have been actively exploited.

Does anybody know what this blue icon is in the status bar on iOS? Showed up after downloading from Safari cleared downloads and forced closed Safari but doesn’t seem to go away. Any ideas what it means and how to get rid of it? Thanks.

I’ve been wishing for this for years, but it seems I’m to only one that finds them annoying. Hoping maybe someone knows a setting somewhere I’ve missed or possibly something introduced in iOS 18.

To be clear, I’m not talking about Messages notifications you get notifying you of a message while you’re not in the app; I’m talking about the send/receive sounds the phone plays while you’re in the Messages app texting with someone.

TYIA! 🙏

This is driving me nuts. I think it’s “Optimized Battery Charging” notifying me that the battery is fully charged which happens 30-60 minutes before my alarm goes off.

I’m used to browsing the web on Firefox with ad blocking - works great. My experience of Safari with AdBlock Pro is much less good - many websites block access unless it’s disabled. I also used to have good results with Firefox on Android. Does anyone have better suggestions? Many thanks!

In settings, sounds, system sounds, there is an option for system clicks

I have that turned off, but everything's I tap the keyboard it clicks. How do I turn off the clicking sound?

Apple says sounds &haptics but I can't find that option

Edit: solved : I have a third party keyboard SwiftKey installed. That was what was doing it. Forgot I had that installed. Dealing with this for a year. Lol

iOS App Store seems to have about nine hundred ‘file managers’ all of which are anything but and demand ridiculous subscription costs.

Is there a decent file manager for iOS that actually will do file management things like select multiple file & rename etc that isn’t a scammy subscription/Ad ridden mess?

I didnt see a post for sharing backrounds. Here is mine.

I'm looking for a message backup solution

my iCloud is almost full, most messages

I don't want to remove them completely

so I would like to download all the messages from my phone

and put them in some web application that will allow me to view them

so I'm probably looking for two apps, one that downloads iOS messages to my PC/Mac and some sort of web app (preferably self-hosted) that will display them and allow searching

then i can set auto delete of messages older than one year

can you recommend anything?

So I use this really cool feature a lot on my iPhone, and I really love how you can make text replacements. I have a lot so I could easily shortcut my way through conversations.

For example:

Whenever I type “tm” it results in “/me”, this is because I am actively on twitch and kick. This is the same with Channel Points.

What’s your thoughts on the iOS text replacements feature, do you use it or have you heard of it? I don’t see much people talking about this feature or maybe I’m not in the right zone of iOS.

To enable it if you have not yet knew about this feature;

Setting > General > Keyboard > Text Replacement

Like if I want to create running functional programs that import stuff like AVFoundation and just don't have the UI/visual side to worry about, is there a way to do that and on iOS/iPhone cuz that's all I have rn?
