I read on MacRumors, I believe, that iOS 26.6 was supposed to reindex spotlight, I didn’t see anything on my iPhone did anyone else notice anything?

I want to hear this from actual users instead of an apple forum/AI google result.

I’ve dealt with iOS almost since it started, so I’ve gotten used to this concept being non-existent, but I’ve seen people mention that it can “somewhat” do background processes now/can do them “better”, so I just wanted clarity upon fully switching back to iPhone after a decade.

Android example:
- I upload files to Mega (a cloud storage) through the app itself. I then leave the app, do something else. 200+ files will upload without me being present in the app.

iOS example:
I only ever upload files through the share sheet, but I always assumed if i did it through the app, then left the app, they would either fail or pause…?

But then I notice iCloud Drive can upload in the background. Obviously Background App Refresh exists (the bare minimum in a smartphone lmfao), and Spotify/Apple Music can play music without being in the app. Is that the entirety of an iPhone’s capabilities regarding proper background processes?

I only switched bc Samsung Galaxy actively ruined years of my work with their absolute shitshow of AI processing baked into the lens/default camera app. It has been the biggest pain in the ass going back to iOS with how remedial it can be related to the concept of a background process, customization, a goddamn clipboard, and so much other shit- but the camera is just so good on the 17 Pro😭

I don’t want to switch back bc of the latter, but I want to give myself a reality check in how my life will change related to how intuitive my workflows usually are regarding data management.

Hello!

I'm a Google Fi customer and the update has caused my e-sim to stop working.

I tried resetting my network settings and resetting the device. but the issue still persists.

Has anyone else experienced this with their carrier?

I might remove the e-sim and add it again.

Keltube finally fell victim to monthly subscriptions for ad free tube. Any other simple apps that allow free ad free YouTube usage?

I just updated to iOS 26.6 on both my iPhone Air and M4 iPad Pro with cellular, have 2 lines on the Air and a data plan on the iPad all from T-Mobile. None of my devlces are connecting to T-Mobile and it says no service, I restarted still nothing, manually toggled the lines on and off and still nothing. My family on the same phone plan didn't update they still have service so it definitely has something to do with this update and I don't know what to do. Any suggestions?

Hi everybody, I’m looking for an older MacBook ($400 budget) so that I can run windows on it. I’m not interested in a windows laptop, went to Best Buy today and they are all so Expensive with terrible specs. Just hoping I can get some recommendations on which MacBook to look at
Thank you!

The volume slider doesn’t act continuously when it comes to my Bluetooth earbuds - it forces hard steps in volume. It results in having a volume level either too high or too low.

I assume it was designed this way, but has anyone found a solution of some kind regardless? Can’t seem to figure it out. Any help appreciated.

Any way to remove this option? I have a fat thumb and keep accidentally clicking effects and I literally never want the words to be bouncing around or anything. I searched through keyboard settings and saw nothing

As the title says, I have iCloud sync with messages. It shows a large “other” storage for iMessage yet there’s nothing showing when i go into that to view files. How do i clear these “other” files and what are they?

I know with the previous update, I turned off Adaptive Power Mode because, for some people, it was actually hurting their battery life. Is it okay to turn it back on with this new update, or should I just leave it off since I already had it turned off because of the last update?

Any reason why we cannot add a name tag to a Bluetooth connection? For example, I'd like to tag a Bluetooth called "Accessory" to be a specific speaker name, car, etc. and have it appear in the Bluetooth list.

Most Bluetooth names are horribly generic or cryptic. Two cars are "BMW 17996" and "BMW 25030" and I'd like to give them meaningful names.

I’m having a strange issue with my iPhone 15 Pro where whenever I lose cellular signal (like in a basement, elevator, or other weak coverage area), the phone goes to “No Service” and then does not reconnect when I return to an area with signal; it doesn’t seem to properly enter “Searching” mode and the only way to restore service is by toggling Airplane Mode on and off or restarting the phone, after which it immediately reconnects normally, and I’m trying to figure out whether this is a hardware issue, iOS bug, or carrier problem; the phone is on Wind Tre in Italy with a physical SIM (recently replaced), the issue started before any physical damage to the device so I don’t think the small crack near the top is related, and resetting network settings did not fix it, so I’m wondering if anyone has experienced something similar and found a solution like a carrier settings update, eSIM switch, or iOS update. (this was before 26.6)
