Hi everyone - My Apple Podcasts app is using 2.71GB of data, and I can’t figure out why. I have zero downloaded episodes. I just stream. I do “save” a lot of episodes, but I don’t download those either. If I look under “downloaded episodes” there is nothing there. I sync between my...

So to clarify, are you saying that favorites and tags will currently *not* sync between devices if the folders/files are contained within OneDrive and/or Dropbox? I ask because everything I’ve read suggests that they should, and that this problem is isolated to my devices. If this is currently...

I am having an issue with the iOS Files app, and nobody from Apple seems to be able to help me. I am hoping somebody here has experienced this issue and may be able to provide the fix. So, here’s the issue … I have my OneDrive and Dropbox services connected up with the iOS Files app. If I...

All - I updated to iOS 15 yesterday and immediately started tagging all my notes. For me, this was the most anticipated feature of iOS 15. Unfortunately, I quickly learned that shared notes containing tags do not play nicely with older devices. A shared note with tags on a device running iOS...

Hi everyone - On the Apple Podcasts app, the “Listen Now” tab typically has the following sections: (1) Up Next (2) Latest Episodes (3) Episodes You Might Like (4) Shows You Might Like (5) Recently Played However, if there is nothing new pending in your Episodes list, the “Listen Now” tab...

Hello - I have a lot of my music in Dropbox and I'm looking for an app that will allow me to stream those files from Dropbox. I would also like to be able to create and save playlists. I have already found about 10 such apps, but they were all various degrees of horrible. Does anyone have a...

THANK YOU!! In combination, that worked. I power cycled all devices -- still didn't sync. I toggled the settings on all devices -- still didn't sync. I power cycled again after toggling the settings, and now everything is in sync. THANK YOU again.

Perhaps we are not talking about the exact same thing. On my iPad, all the shortcuts I created on my iPhone are there too. That's not what I'm talking about. I'm specifically talking about the Siri prompts themselves. For example, I have a Shortcut called "Directions Home." I created that...

Hello - I cannot seem to figure out how to get Siri "My Shortcuts" to sync between devices. To be clear, I am *not* talking about the Shortcuts created in what used to be the Workflow app. Those definitely sync between devices. What I am talking about is the "My Shortcuts" that are created...

Yes, that exists. I found a 10-pack of silicone port plugs on Amazon for like $7. My concern with those is that it falls out and is swallowed by my daughter or one of our cats. If it's built into the case I would avoid that issue.

Hello all - I have a toddler at home and take her to the playground almost daily, and have often dropped my phone in the sand. I’m concerned about getting sand in the lightning port, so I’d like a case that blocks it. Unfortunately, the only cases I’ve found are thick ones like the Otterbox...

Ok, so here's the deal ... I'm brand new to the iCloud Photo Library thing because this is the first time I've had an iPhone with high enough capacity to even consider leaving a sizable number of photos on my device. Anyway, I now have 2990 photos and videos on my device, and turned on iCloud...

Is there an iPhone app that will allow you to store and redeem ANY gift card, regardless of retailer? Hello - For a long time I was using Google Wallet to store gift cards, and then Google removed that feature. I then switched to Gyft, but they recently removed the feature that allowed you to...

I use Microsoft Outlook for my work email and Google Invox for personal, but there are still times that it is more convenient to send email from the built in Mail app. The problem is storage space is a huge issue for me, and so I don't want to store any email in the built in Mail app. I want...

Hello - I previously had two email accounts set up in iOS mail -- my personal account, and my work account. I recently started using Google Inbox for my personal account, and Microsoft Outlook for my work account, so I deleted both accounts from the "mail" app. [Note: I am still syncing the...
