I’m experiencing something strange with my phone’s storage, and I’m not sure what’s going on. Last year, I had nearly maxed out my storage at 255/256 GB, but suddenly, it dropped to around 100 GB, and now it’s fluctuating again—it decreased to 99 GB today. This is concerning, and I’m wondering if something might be wrong with my phone. Could someone help me understand what’s happening? Here’s some context: my phone was being used for filming a school project, and I often got “insufficient storage” notifications. To make room, I deleted some apps, but I was still hovering around 250-253/256 GB of used storage. Later, I heard that getting iCloud storage would free up space by storing photos in the cloud, so I subscribed to 200 GB of iCloud storage. I used it for about a day but then canceled the subscription after hearing it wasn’t effective at freeing up much space. Unfortunately, I didn’t check my storage before canceling the subscription, which I now realize was a mistake. In December, I took a lot of photos and videos during trips, but I didn’t check my storage, assuming I’d hit full capacity soon. However, just two days ago, I checked my storage and was shocked to see that it had suddenly dropped to around 105 GB. This morning, it dropped again to about 100.96 GB. I read in an article that this could be a bug and that updating the software might help, so I updated my phone to iOS 18. After the update, I checked my storage again, and it had dropped further to 94.16 GB. Then, in the same minute, it fluctuated to 94.99 GB, and four minutes later, it went down to 94.65 GB. Now, as I’m writing this, it’s back up to 95.58 GB. Could anyone explain what’s going on?

Hi, I am trying to use the new FileProvider feature available on macOS 15 to create a FileProvder domain on an external drive. I am creating the domain with the initializer init(displayName:, userInfo:, volumeURL:) But when I try to add the domain with NSFileProviderManager.add() I get error NSCocoaErrorDomain, code 3328 - feature not supported. My external drive is APFS formatted and encrypted. I am checking its eligibility with NSFileProviderManager.checkDomainsCanBeStoredOnVolume(at:) and the result is "eligible". What should be done to solve this problem - is there a specific entitlement I have to add? I checked the possible entitlements and I don't see anything pointing in this direction. I will be very grateful for any help!

I am working on a project that contains a QuickLook View and Some ARViews. I want to restrict the entire app to Portrait orientation, but I want to allow the ARView to have Portrait and Landscape orientation. If I restrict the app to Portrait in the Deployment Info settings, we can still turn the device to landscape in the ARView, However, there is an issue with "some" spatial audio files within the digital experience. Some spatial audio items, are placed appropriately, and others are panned oddly left. If we allow Landscape Left and Right in the Deployment Info settings, all spatial audio behaves appropriately. So, we need to "lock" every other view as Portrait and only allow Portrait and Landscape on the ARView. I'm not smart enough to know how to do that, but I found this excellent package on GitHub. It works as expected. https://github.com/wvteijlingen/swiftui-interface-orientation However! When we wrap SwiftUI with UIKit, it appears every single view that contains an ARView is initialized at launch even though it is not visible. So, when the app launches, it is running multiple ARViews at once. It appears we need to have some kind of lazy loading, so this doesn't occur, but again, I am not knowledgable enough for this yet. I tried to wrap it all in a LazyVStack, I tried a LazyView struct, but I couldn't get it to build appropriately. I feel like this might be a common thing, so maybe there's already a simple answer I'm not able to locate? Any ideas??

How iPhone 16 is worth than iphone 15?

Hi folks, First - I'm not a developer. Some time ago I came across Sequoia Beta and installed it thinking it was just a usage data collection thing. I recently wanted to delete it because I suspected it was causing other issues, but was only offered to have updates stopped. My MacBook Pro M2 still says I'm running Sequoia 15.3 (Beta 24D5034f). I have another, maybe unrelated issue and posted a question about it on Apple Community but the question was deleted and I was pointed here because I mentioned the Beta! This was my question: I can FaceTime from the iPhone but when I try to FaceTime from the Mac, I get a notification on the Mac saying: "iPhone calls not available. Your iPhone is not configured to allow calls using this Mac". My iPhone is a 14Plus on iOS 18.2.1 (22C161). I've tried the iPhone and Mac fixes suggested by Apple but no luck there - that was all about turning iMessages and FaceTime off or signing out for both devices, then power cycling both devices. I don't understand how this is supposed to work. Could my issue be related to the Beta? If so, and in any case, how do I remove the Beta? TIA

Hi, I just bought iPhone few days ago, switched from Android after long time, the first thing I noticed is that refresh rate/frame rate is not constant for some reason. Android phones are having those 120 hz all the time but for some reason iPhone drops it In some situations which makes no sense at all, I want consistency in smoothness , I want phone to be same smooth all the tome, not that it changes it self depended on situation. I think you should just give us a option where we can choose to have variable refresh rate(because of saving power) or constant refresh rate (smoothest experience). Also what I noticed when I am in video call everything is perfectly smooth as it should be, once I end the video call the difference is noticeable immediately. Thanks in advance. Please consider this, Im 100% sure that Im not the only one who seeks for this option.

Basically, I always charge my phone at night to my limit 85%, but when I installed the iOS 18.3 beta 3, my iPhone charged to 100% at night when I was having always limit to 85%, my phone was overheated too. Did that only happened to me? Because I even checked and it’s on 85% limit.

My MacBook restarted because of a problem what is wrong with it

Messaging is missing from CarPlay. Unable to send or receive messages. Not even an option to add it to CarPlay. This is my most heavily used feature while I’m in the car.

I like to suggest a different microphone dot icon for Voice Control. I had customized Voice Control to turn on a Flashlight. This caused confusion with the orange dot being switched on constantly. I made an error in sending a security vulnerability to Apple Security about the orange dot microphone in always ON mode when iPhone is unlocked.

I am using an iPhone 14 Pro Max, and I’ve encountered an issue that started when I updated to the public beta of iOS 18.2. Here’s the problem: Whenever I minimize an app (e.g., WhatsApp, Safari, Chrome, Brave, etc.) while working on something—like typing a message or filling out a form—and receive a call, the app refreshes to its initial state after I return. For example: If I’m typing a message in WhatsApp, and a call interrupts me, the chat window closes and reverts to WhatsApp’s home screen when I return. Similarly, if I’m filling out a form in a browser and get a call, the form resets, and I lose all entered data. If I’m playing a game like Candy Crush and switch to another app without closing the game, it restarts when I return. If I’m trying to log in to an app that requires authentication through another app (e.g., SEB Bank app using BankID, or Swiss apps that require BankID for verification), the login process fails because the original app refreshes and loses its state when I switch back. Initially, I thought this might be due to having Developer Mode enabled, so I turned it off. Then I assumed it could be related to the beta version of iOS, so I waited for the stable release. I have since turned off beta updates and updated to the stable version of iOS, but the issue persists. Interestingly, I noticed the same behavior while using iOS 17 as well. Is there anything I can do to fix this problem and prevent apps from refreshing unexpectedly? Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated.

What is the safest way to rename a project so the app still works using Xcode 14.2. I’ve seen instructions using earlier versions of Xcode but with the latest version it’s a bit confusing.

Hello I want to report an issue on macOS, I also reported this issue on feedbackassistant, but I didn't get a response from the feedbackassistant. I am sorry it might not be appropriate to post it here, if so, you can move or delete this post or ask me to to so. Thanks. In short words, Chrome/Edge/Firefox users who manually set the browser as default browser in the macOS System setttings, will lose their default browser setting after browser a upgrade. What steps will reproduce the problem? (1) Install Chrome Canary, in my case I was using 134.0.6961.0. After installation, open it from launchpad, but don't set it as the default browser in the browser (2) Go to macOS's system settings, search Deafult Web Browser, set the new installed Chrome Canary as default browser (3) Go to Chrome Canary's Settings->About Chrome (4) Wait for Chrome update information to be updated (it will auto update to the latest version) (5) Check result of system default browser. Click a link from Notes, it will navigate to Safari. What is the expected result? System default browser should not change What happens instead? The System default browser changed to the topmost browser of the brower list in system settings. Click a link from Notes, it will be opened in Safari. Notes This bug also happens on Firefox and Edge, it should be a macOS bug. This bug is similar to https://issues.chromium.org/issues/346505950 Looks like after installation, macOS recognize the newly installed version of browser as a new browser, even though the signature of the application remained the same. In Local Network of macOS settings, some Edge users see multiple entries with the same name.

hi. I have a MacPro 2019, and I'm running Monterey at the moment. I have three screens. Two 4k screens, and a XDR in the center of them. My MacPro 2019 boots with the left screen showing the startup and login screen. I've previously had it boot to my XDR before the others. I'm not entirely sure why it moved to the left, but I need it back on the center screen. We used to just drag a happy mac icon from screens in the displays system preference. I don't see any method to change this startup and login screen. How do I choose the permanent bootup and startup screen (as my XDR!). Thanks. Dave

Can anyone help me rename my project safely using 16.2. I looked around but only found help for earlier versions?

What is the best way to adhoc report bugs in an Apple OS? For example I'm experiencing a bug with macOS where the following occurs: In home office I have connected network drives that are part of my login items. I want them to mount in Finder automaticallly. When out of the office I get prompts about the missing drives that are persistent and cannot be dismissed with one click. Macos 15.2 and earlier has, since I can recall, REPEATEDLY prompted about these missing drives to the point I want to put a fist through the screen. I'm not sure why people aren't setting the world on fire over this bug or why Apple allows it to remain.
