    Deleting iMessages ?

    Totally agree. Although my understanding is even in WhatsApp when you retract a message, there is a notification that a message was edited/removed. Also, I know a ton of people that screen shot and save messages. Completely ridiculous in my mind. Like I could never see myself arguing with...

    Is iOS 13.6 compatible with Windows 8.1?

    It is possible that it’s not your computer not recognizing you phone, it’s actually the other way around. Is it possible you accidentally turned on the option where iPhone doesn’t trust USB connected accessories while locked? This can be glitchy and happen by accident. I cannot remember the...

    Replaced my X with a Silver 11 Pro

    Hope you feel better! Congrats on the new iPhone. Love my 11 Pro, especially in Silver! Definitely a unique Silver this year.

    Deleting iMessages ?

    Only yours. You cannot delete iMessages from another persons device. Other messaging apps do have this feature though. There have been discussions that iOS 14 would include the ability to retract messages but my understanding at least through the current betas, it is still not possible.

    How many people use notifications on their iPhone?

    Calls, texts, email, calendar, slack, linkedin, FB Messenger (not Facebook though). For these my settings are always: Lock Screen Notification Center Banners (persistent) Sound Badges Show previews while unlocked I get a lot of notifications and I don’t find it impacting my battery terribly...

    iPhone 12 Lineup Names and Picks

    Have an 11 Pro now. Agree, can’t see myself with a phone bigger or an aluminum phone. Also can’t see not buying a new phone!

    iPhone 12 5G

    For me it depends. If all iPhone 12 models have 5G I’ll upgrade my 11 Pro. If any truth that 5.4” won’t have 5G then I may not update.

    What does everyone use their Watch for?

    From the Series 1, 3, and 4 I have always turned off every single feature my watch. That said, I love my Watch! I legit only use it as a regular watch...except maybe to track my resting heartbeat. I’ve always had all notifications and complications off. It tells time, date, and temperature and...

    iPhone 12 Lineup Names and Picks

    This is my exact issue. Two years in a row I went XS Max and switched to XS and then Pro Max and switched to current Pro. 5.8” is that sweet spot with what’s available as even the XR and 11 at 6.1” was bigger than I wanted. I’ve posted elsewhere I feel like I’m being pushed into a 6.1” device...

    text forwarding question

    It’s actually pretty simple. Follow me here. You set your iPhone 5 to forward messages to your iPhone 7. Thus, every message that shows up on your 5 also shows up on your 7. The reverse is not the case though. If someone directly messages your 7 then it is only on your 7. There you have...

    iPhone 12: Is there a size for you!?

    So there in lies my question. You’re at 5.8” and based on most everything out there your choices are 5.4”, 6.1”, or 6.7”...so does that mean you’ll use your 11 Pro til EOL or make a move?
