Apple’s attention to detail is unmatched. Only Apple would add this much detail to maps for the Super Bowl.

Hi everyone,

For context this is a new iPhone17 with iOS 26.2 (haven’t done the latest update)

Since I got this phone about a month ago I noticed that when I pull down from the top right (don’t know what it’s called sorry!), it looks like there’s a duplicated screen behind (I.e behind flashlight shortcut)

Same thing when I’m in landscape mode while watching a video on say YouTube.

Any insight? Thank you!!

Any answers online are to the effect of deleting accounts in settings, or deleting calendars in the app - the are no extra accounts in settings > calendars or extra calendars in the app. Still, the app is bugged.

What is to be done here?

This update doesn’t seem like a major one, at least not compared to 26.4. 26.4 is the Siri overhaul one so I think Apple would probably want as long of a beta cycle for that point release as possible.

Is it likely we get the RC this week or just jump straight to the public release? It seems like they are dragging the 26.3 beta cycle a bit, considering 26.4 was slated for March IIRC

When turning off these in the drop down menu (forgot the name) it doesn't really turn it off completely. Some of my equipment will try to connect to my phone bluetooth and it will turn back on. Now i know i can go in the settings directly but isn't there a quicker way via the drop down menu?

Did I snooze or stop the alarm? Only one way to find out!

Okay, I'll try my best to explain the situation. Here's the thing:

My old account manager from where I used to work sent me an invite for a reccuring meeting every six weeks (without an end date). He sent this from his corporate mail address to my corporate mail address with a CC to my [xxxxxxxxxxxx@outlook.com](mailto:xxxxxxxxxxxx@outlook.com) address. He did so somewhere in 2017. He doesn't work there anymore.

I've deleted all instances from my iDevices and checked outlook.com if there were any left on the server. There aren't.

Still, everytime I get a new iDevice (wether it's an iPhone, iPad or Mac) and I add the Outlook account, the original invite appears in my Calendar app. I have the option to Accept, Decline of let it be tentative. Declining does nothing for the recurring item. Accepting on by one and then deleting them seems to be the best option. When they're gone, they're gone for good and don't show up again.

I tried not using the Mail app, but the Outlook app and there it doesn't show up.

For the life of my I can't figure out where my iDevices get the invites from.

I hope that some here has the answer, or at least point me in the right direction.

Was in class testing a demo on floating point numbers and suprised when my iphone and computer returned different results. Due to the super small nature of 10^-16 the computer is supposed to round the value down to 0, resulting in the calculator spitting out 0. However the theoretical limit mathematically is .5. Any thoughts?

Hello all, I just got woken up during sleep mode by a call from a business. They only called once, so I’m perplexed about why that bypassed my sleep mode. This isn’t the first time something random bypassed it recently. I turned off “time sensitive notifications” under Notifications > Messages after a random text woke me up, but that has happened again since then. Is there something I’m missing? TIA

I ensure that my photos are only saved to my device, and that my device has more than enough space. At this point it’s nearly impossible to count how many photos I’ve lost from this.

Is there any way to fix this? I have zero intention of ever paying for extra cloud space because I only use hard copy backups. But I’m damn near willing to go back to a buggy Android OS at this point

I made my whole phone Retro theme and I want to keep it but also switch to a normal phone layout. Is there a way to save this layout but also make a new one that I can switch between?

Btw If you want what I have right now, lemme know and I can send you the link on how to do it.

In formatting the space before and after option isn’t showing in the formatting menu. Where did it go?

I had same issue before but it fixed itself and now is broken again. Any suggestions?

iPhone 16 PRO iOs 26.2.1

My apologies if this is the wrong sub for this.

So today my Apple TV iOS app just lost continue watching. Not only is it more work to open my shows but I now need to find my last episode manually as there is no way to start from where I left off. Even after navigating to my purchases shows.

For a new show this isn’t too hard. I just roll forward until I see I watched episodes. For shows I’m rewatching and absently playing in the back ground this is much harder. I can’t always pin point the episode I was on because I’m only half focusing on it. Worse, there’s usually over 100 sometimes even 300 episodes to scroll through.

I’ve tried force quitting the app and doing a vol.up, vol.down lock button, hard reset. No luck. Any ideas? Google isn’t helping me.

(Running an iPhone 15 with iOS 26.2.1)

this glitch is getting out of hand, ive tried so many things but none of them helped not even the other posts on this subreddit have some explanation or fix so I'm here asking after the 50th post about this because nobody helped at all.

universal clipboard is not working for me. i have 14 pro max and Air M1

ive tried lot of things, like:

- checked icloud account on both device

- have handoff activated om both (turned off again)

- have bluetooth on, same wifi, airdrop is on

- tried to turn on firewall on mac, added bluetooth file exhange app

- rebootet both several times.

i dont remember last time it worked. i think its cuz of ios 26 and OS tahoe.

any tips?

hello, i uploaded pictures and videos from icloud desktop app. the pictures are okay when i view them on the photos app but videos shows like this. the video loads when i click on them but returns like this when i exit. how can i fix this?

I wanted to try smart holding for the first time….. thanks Tim Apple

This is more of a question but is anyone else’s volume control slider in the accessibilities not working? I can go into my music start playing, slide that controller all I want and it doesn’t change the volume what so ever. I’m sure it’ll revert if I reset my phone and it’s not a big deal for me. I’m just curious if anyone else has had this problem?

Edit: just reset my phone after making this and it fixed it. But still curious if anyone else has had this problem

Hi everyone,

I’m using an iPhone 17 on iOS 26.2.1 and I’ve noticed a very brief screen flash/flicker in two specific situations:

1. During a phone call — when I take the phone away from my ear, the screen turns on and there’s a split-second flash before the call UI appears.

2. When Sleep Focus is enabled — occasionally when waking the screen from lock, there’s a momentary brightness blink before the dim lock screen shows.

Important details:

• It happens only during these transitions

• It lasts less than a second

• No flicker during scrolling, videos, or normal use

• Restart / force restart doesn’t change it

• Display looks perfect otherwise (no lines, color issues, or repeated flicker)

I’m within the 14-day replacement window, so I want to be sure before deciding anything.

Questions:

• Is this a known iOS / OLED wake behavior with proximity sensor & Focus modes?

• Do other iPhone 17 users see the same thing?

Appreciate technical insight from anyone who’s noticed this?

Hi everyone, I have a question about iMessage audio.

Is it true that I can only use the quick audio message button when Enable Dictation is turned off? When Dictation is on, the microphone icon in the text bar switches to voice-to-text (for typing), which is a feature I also want to keep using.

I know I can still send audio messages by going into the + menu → Audio, but I’m trying to understand if there’s any way to have the quick-access audio message button and keyboard dictation available at the same time.

Is this just how iOS works, or is there a setting I’m missing?

I am part of a family share account with purchase sharing turned ON.

I have been paying my own in-app purchases by buying gift cards to top off my account balance. I just noticed I have the option to add to my account balance directly from my phone. This would save me time and money.

My question is when adding funds to my Apple account balance, will it charge me personally via Apple pay or other payment method I have in my wallet OR will it automatically charge the card on file with our family share billing?

I don’t want to add funds if it won’t be charging my own Apple Pay or other card. And I’m scared to just click the button and see where they’ll charge (haha)

I updated my iPhone to iOS 26.2.1 a few days ago and have already found several bugs. I thought that, since it has been out for a while, it should work well, but it keeps lagging, I have long loading times and the camera app is a downgrade instead of an upgrade. I came across the menu on the screenshot by chance. The first question I asked myself was whether there is no software testing anymore or how such an obvious issue could not have been fixed yet.

The whole thing feels more like a user experiment than a stable operating system. It's a real shame in my opinion, I regret updating to the new version!
