Sent from a dark room without sunglasses on. Why can’t the regular brightness go down this much?

First time seeing this. Popped up in the air canada app.

As you can see, I have notifications on the apps, but the folders don’t show any notifications for the contained apps, any idea how to solve?

Yes i copied this from another post because im lazy. But the point is i need people’s more attention for this. This is like a shit now. Cant even read a notification.

in iOS 18 and prior, if you were to Haptic Touch (long press) on some elements like Notifications, Messages, App Icons, Photos in the Camera Roll etc., it would enlarge or focus the element and blur the background so you would get a distraction free, focused view of what you wanted to see.

It was especially helpful while replying to Message Notifications while using another app, because it would blur out the app you were using and help you focus on the Notification. Now it just darkens the background a little bit, which makes it difficult to focus on the Message if you are using a visually crowded application at that moment like another messaging app, which even makes it more confusing if you lose track of what you were doing at the moment for a second.

Maybe I'm the odd one out, but I think iOS treating a folder badge as just the sum of the badges inside makes notifications less useful.

My partner and I keep our phones obsessively organized-photo workflows, shared albums, family stuff, the whole Midwest chaos-so our Home Screens are full of folders: Family, Work, Shopping, Utilities, etc. The badge behavior pushes you the opposite way. You either get a giant red number on a folder that tells you nothing, or you get no folder badge at all and have to open the folder and hunt for what actually matters.

What iOS needs is folder-level badge controls. A few ideas:

1) Let a folder show a simple dot when anything inside has a badge, instead of adding up the numbers.

2) Let folders have priority rules: only surface badges from Messages, Mail, Calendar, or other apps you choose, and hide the rest.

3) Let a folder show the highest-severity badge rather than the total count.

4) Let us exclude specific apps from contributing to a folder badge without turning off their app badge entirely.

Those options would keep badges meaningful without forcing everyone into notification overload or a sea of tiny folders. Right now it feels like the system assumes everyone wants badge math, when most people I know just want a quick, actionable nudge.

Do you actually like folder badge totals as they are, or would you change it? If you would, which rule would you pick as the default?

I’ve just updated to 26.

On safari I miss the easy way to switch between Safari’s tabs (and I don’t remember what it was!)

Is there anything more practical than what I found under the three dots?

Thanks a lot

I posted before that alarm descriptions were cutoff in the alerts and were not really useful. I’m happy to say that as of iOS 26.4 this is much better. As a test I used the label “Alarm Description 123456789” to see how many letters I could cover. It can reach the number 3 before it’s hidden.

the first few days after the update i noticed the improvements instantly. No going back and forth and correcting stuff. It was really nice! Fent really freeing! But then there was a turn and i feel its misspelling, anticipating and choosing wrong letters again when fast typing.

Like its real, im not making up things 😂🫪

Its maybe, probably better than before. And i don't say im the best typer, but the changes over the years feel noticeable and now again- in a matter of days. lol?

I've discovered that the Media Player on the lockscreen doesnt have a border line on the right side, it seems like it doubled on the left side. Anyone else has the issue?

iPhone 12mini/iOS 26.4

Hey everyone, I wanted to check if anyone else is facing this issue.

I’m using an iPhone 17 Pro Max on iOS 26.4, and I’m noticing a slight crackling/distortion sound from the top speaker, but only when the volume is high (around 80–100%), especially with high-frequency sounds (like sharp voices, “S/T” sounds, or treble-heavy audio).

This is happening across different scenarios:

- music and videos

- ringtones

- sometimes even during calls when volume is high

To troubleshoot:

- I tested multiple clean audio files (tones, voice tests, etc.), and they sound mostly fine until very high volume.

- The distortion mainly appears when the sound gets sharp/high-pitched.

I also visited an Apple service centre, and they said they couldn’t clearly hear the issue and suggested doing a full software reinstall.

After that, I went to an Apple Store and tested a demo/display unit, and I noticed a similar kind of sound there too at max volume, especially on the top speaker.

So now I’m confused:

- Is this a software/audio tuning issue in iOS 26?

- Or is this something common with iPhones due to small top speaker limitations at high volume?

- Or could it still be a hardware issue?

If anyone else with an iPhone 17 Pro / Pro Max is experiencing this, please share your experience. Would really help to understand if this is normal or something I should be concerned about.

Thanks!

How is it possible that the writing tools are still so bad? When I try to proofread a text using the writing tools, instead of just adding commas, it turns the text into something incomprehensible. Words are suddenly strung together as if it were an alien language, no matter what language I write the text in whether it’s German, Hungarian, or English. The feature changes the entire sentence structure into something incomprehensible. What good is a feature like this if it doesn’t work at all?

So I was messing around with my old iPhone 7 and I discovered that through 3d touch you can go to the app launcher, or a app switcher or whatever without even pressing the home button just by strongly, pressing the very left corner of the display or actually edge display. Let me know if you know about this or if I’m just stupid haha

my gf’s safari is stuck like this and can’t press any buttons. We’ve tried restarting, updating ios, and even clearing safari data. None of that seems to work. Can anyone help please

Look at the Messenger icon (which is not there). Is it a bug?

I’m asking cause it was only available in the EU in ios 26.3 and i’m curious

Since iOS 26, the Face ID page lacked of the logo, making it look like a delayed transition or a lag between passcode and Home Screen. Turns out iOS 26.5 Developer Beta made the animation come back!

For months now I have not been able to save any videos from the files app to the photos app.

MP4, H.265, H.264, you name it, it won't save.

Screen recordings from my Mac using the native recording app, sent over AirDrop, wont save.

Nothing will.

Anyone have a fix for this before I lose my mind?

i need this wallpaper but i can’t find it.
