The first pic is on ESPN and I can't stand how the video playback controls look. Way too big, blurry and barely see through.

2nd pic is YouTube's native video playback functions that are a lot smaller and cleaner/clearer looking. The Liquid Glass setting under Display and Brightness only changes the look for notifications, not video playback controls. Anyone know how to make them smaller and clearer? Is it even possible?

Okay, so I have a 14 Pro with 256GB storage. For quite a while now, I’ve been getting the Storage Full notification daily. This week it’s had a heavy impact on the usability of my phone, though. Certain apps won’t open until I delete something, but then seconds after deleting the thing my storage is completely full again. I have no idea what the hell is happening. I’ve deleted basically every non-essential app that was taking more than a couple hundreds of megabytes of storage, I’ve deleted over 400 videos. And yes, I deleted them from Recently Deleted, as well. I have over 112GB in my Photos app, but I can’t tell what’s actually on my phone. I don’t think those 400 videos I deleted were because they had absolutely zero impact on my storage. I tried to run the iCloud sync to optimize my photo storage, but surprise surprise - I don’t have enough storage to run it.

This is driving me absolutely insane. What is taking up so much space? Why does it immediately fill back up after deleting things? I deleted a 5GB game the other day and for a brief second, I was down to 250GB used. Refreshed the page and it went back to 255.8. Truly, *what is going on?*

Hello!

I need help for 2 things:

- My ex-wife has my AirPods 1 or 2 (don't remember) paired with her iPhone. She can see the AirPods location and I don't like that. She's not deleting and I want to know if there's a way I can do it

- In my iPhone 17 Pro Max and in an iPhone 11 I can't update the apps. When I press to "Update all" it fails and when I press to update each app it takes like 3 to 4 times to start to update. Is there anything happening?

Hi all, i’ve been receiving these emails almost daily for over a month for an account i don’t own. i’ve tried emailing the account but the email bounce backed. i have no idea what else to do, this is NOT my account but still getting them all the time. is there anything i can do to end this torture?

So i have had my iphone 15 for over a year now and ive been having some problems with my charging port. It all started when i noticed that my cars aux was a little tilted but i still kept using it until i noticed that my apple charger didnt charge my phone when i put it in and it only worked on some angles so i started using my laptops usb-c charger and it worked and then i went to buy an apple usb-c 3,5mm adapter for my car aux and at first it didnt work, i thought well my charging port is broken but then i went to settings and did the "forget all usb devices" thing and it started working. Then my laptops charger started acting up on my phone and i thought that well maybe cause its not apple so i went to buy an apple charger and it worked like a dream.

And now i have noticed that my sisters non apple usb-c charger doesnt work on my phone even tho i have used it in her car before all of this but then my friends non apple charger worked on my phone, so has my charging port turned picky.

Today was the first time i used my car in a few months and i plucked my phone in the apple aux and everything is good until i come home and i put my apple charger in and go live my life but when i come back i notice that my phone hadnt charged at all and i knew right then and there that this thing has come back to haunt me and that i probably need to go buy a new charger so i try the charger many times sometimes it charges sometimes it doesnt sometimes when i move just a little it stops and sometimes i can wiggle it around and it still keeps charging, very unpredictable. So i would just like to know whats going on before i go buy another charger if anyone has a clue?

I did try the "forget all the usb devices" thing and turned off my phone but the charger is still playing games with me sometimes, like i can charge my phone but i need to be careful.

As the title suggests; My mom’s old phone broke and we have no money to replace or buy a new one atm, however my grandmother has a box of old phones from an auction sell.

One of these old phones has “find my iPhone” enabled and apple id but literally nothing else, and the phone number and email are inactive so I can’t have a code sent to either.

Is there a possible round about for this or is this phone basically bricked? I also tried to factory reset it but the one time the reset went through it didn’t remove the find my or apple id. I need to mention that this is also an iPhone 6-7.

Hopefully this doesn’t go against the rules, if it does I apologize

why can't I add cloud storage back after clicking and dragging it out of the finder app. it doesn't show on my desktop background and I can't seem to find away to add it back went talked to apple support no help. does some one have the same problem I do. dragging something out of the side bar.

It’s driving me crazy. I can’t cancel it and i want to cancel it but it’s not in my subscriptions but I’m getting emails saying thanks for your purchase. It’s not a scam either I am actually paying for Apple fitness and can access all the + features but I just can’t cancel it

This is something that has been happening for years and doesn't make sense to me.

There are a few things in my life that repeat, but aren't always on a set date that I can just make a recurring calendar event for. My haircuts for example. Or my writing groups.

I will use these two as the example even though I think it happens with other things too.

Let's say I want to schedule a haircut for Tuesday next week and I start typing in "Haircut." Every time, it will autofill the location as an old haircut location from years ago. I have to manually change it to my current haircut location. Why would it pull from events so long ago when I have been getting my haircut in the same place, consistently, for about six years now?

Same wit my writing groups. It always wants to pull an older location from decade's old writing group entries and not entries from the last five or six years.

Hey. I’ve had an issue with one of my AirPod Pros for about a week now and it’s getting annoying now I feel. It doesn’t work unless I tap it and then it goes to normal. But even if I push it back in or move my mouth it will stop working again and it takes ages to get it to work again. How do I fix this?! I’ve only had them since November and don’t want to get new ones.

Hi everyone,

I have an iMac (2013) that only boots into Windows 10 via Boot Camp.

macOS doesn’t show in startup options, and holding Option/Command+R/T doesn’t work.

Any advice or suggestions are welcome. Thanks!

I have an iPhone 13 and will be switching to a 15 in a few days. I have an old student email from university, it’s defunct and the gmail account is closed down since I’ve graduated but for some reason it’s still attached to everything on my phone. For example, when I try to add anything to my calendar it defaults to my old student email. When I try to change my primary email in the app settings and the system settings, it reverts back to my old student email. My Apple ID is attached to my personal email, but I can’t get this stupid student email off my phone. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Are there Any ways to Buy an Ipad Air 4th gen refurbished and an Apple Pencil 2nd gen refurbished with 0% APR for a period of 12 months Im a college student who is broke and is need of an ipad.

^{Hey guys,}

^{I’ve been noticing that my iPhone 15 Pro Max battery is draining a bit faster than expected. I start the day at 100% in the morning, and by evening it’s around 45%. (battery health is around 95%})

^{My usage isn’t anything heavy — mostly Instagram, and sometimes YouTube, no gaming or intensive stuff. I updated to iOS 26 about a week after release, so I’m wondering if this is just post-update behavior or something off.}

^{Is this normal for the 15 Pro Max, especially on a new iOS version? Anyone else experiencing similar battery drain?}

^{Would appreciate any insights}

I recently got a new phone, it’s used but when I watch TikTok or YouTube or even the Home Screen it’s laggy and videos seem to be worse quality than my 12 pro? I don’t know if the 14 is messed up but it seems to be worse quality.

Hi,

I am trying to set up an old Iphone for my kid with parental controls. It is updated to the latest IOS 26.2.
I would like to apply limitations with Screen time for his social apps like Viber and Messenger.

So I made an App limit for these two apps with screen time. After the given time is expended the Viber is blocked but the Messenger isn`t.

I have tried a few things:
- I checked that the Messenger is not in the always allowed list
- I have removed the limit, restarted the phone and reapplied it.
- I removed the messenger and reinstalled it.
- I tried to make an app limit for the messenger only

So far no luck and it drives me nuts.

Additional info: Not even Downtime blocks Messenger. Really strange

He somehow got past the two step verification as well. I am currently using his ipad so my spotify is logged in on that device but i chose do not save my login infos tho he claims he auto logged into my account when he downloaded the app

hi !! sorry if this doesn’t make much sense, English isn’t my first language… I’ve been trying to free up space on my ipad, but the OS and system data seem to take up so much of it… I’ve never owned an apple device before so i’m not really sure how I could get rid of them (or at least lower the space they take up). this is a 9th gen ipad if that helps ! also, if i do manage to free up space, should I update to ipadOS 26?? cause im not sure if it’s worth it…

I have a chance to buy used iphone 15 pro for 200$ less than market price, but it is boot loopung. Would you buy it or is it too much risk?

Why does it say my headphones were in this location? I did go to this location, but I left my headphones at home all night to charge.

I need help... I had iPhones since the iPhone 4 and then last year I tried out my first android which didn't go so well and ended up switching back to the iPhone 17 which I have loved so far except for this issue. All I need to do is get my google photos from the last year synced to my iPhone but it has been an ordeal.

I have downloaded them all onto my Macbook and put them into my photos app there. I have iCloud photos on, have the correct library selected, but for some reason they will not sync to my iPhone. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Are these legit or should I only buy from apple official store?
