Reply to comment by ElmoloKloIokakolo in This is one of the best iOS 16 features. The amount of spam/scam messages I receive have gone down a lot. by MrYeetFeet69

Can’t share automatons unfortunately, only shortcuts, but the action bit looks like this

EE Spam is just a contact for my network’s spam reporting number.

And the trigger bit is just any message containing “http”. All in the Automations section in the shortcuts app.

Reply to I received a MagSafe battery as a gift. by Starboyz10

They’re not like other battery packs which emulate a socket charger and just charge the battery up nonstop. Think of it more like a battery extender to use for keeping the battery % high and charged on days you know will be battery-intensive, it kind of ‘drip feeds’ the battery to keep it at a higher level this way.

Its weird at first because we’re so used to using these kind of things when the phone’s low, but with some thoughtful use you’ll get a lot more out of it this way and it’s better for battery health long term!

Hope that makes some sense!

Reply to comment by DTrain009 in PSA: The proper way to delete or shrink iPhone System Data use on disk by Vertsix

System data is category of data that takes up space on your iPhone/iPad. They include temporary files, log files and media buffers. These are created as you use your phone.

They should be purged after they are not needed anymore but they aren’t being reliably purged on iOS for whatever reason.

Anywhere from 3 - 4 GBs consumed is a reasonable amount of storage use. But these files tend to take up over 25 GBs and in extreme cases, over 100 GBs.

OP posted a reliable way of clearing the unwanted data manually.

Reply to iPhone 13 ‘jailbreak’? by Intrepid_Gift_9436

When my wife’s 8 Plus got stolen, I marked it as stolen, and locked it. What that’ll do, is if someone attempts to connect it, even using the main board in another device, it’ll make the main board useless.

Wiping the device remotely removes the iCloud lock

Okay. Did some reading on Apple’s support discussion forum. You’re not the only one to encounter this problem, and there’s a couple things we can try.

First off, you should try to sign out of your iCloud/Apple ID on your iPhone and then sign back in again.

After that, we would need some help from your dad since he’s the one organizing the iCloud subscription. It sounds like you’ve already had him try to remove you from family sharing and then add you again, right? Like, he used his own account/device to remove you and then sent you another invite? In that case, the next thing to try would be to ask him to completely disable iCloud family sharing for everyone, and then turn it back on again.

Just have him go into his Settings > Family > Subscriptions, select iCloud+ and then click the button the stop sharing it with the family. He can then immediate turn it back on. A few people claimed that this fixed the problem for them. I think it’s worth trying

Very strange! I’m glad you’ve already tried leaving and returning to the family sharing, because that was gonna be the very first thing I suggested trying. So, that does fix it temporarily, but the problem just comes back later. Hmm..

What is your device?
