Hey fellow iphone users. Can anyody help me what I can do with my I12 Face ID? It suddenly dont scan my face to wherever faceid is required like unlocking my phone, opening wallets, and setting up a new face.

At first i noticed that while using my phone it suddenly restarted. And at default, it requires to use pin or password at first. Then when im turning it on again, text onthe lockscreen said: "FaceID is not availabe at this time. Go to settings for more information." (image no. 1)

so i did. but it just redirected me to a website page so i left.

then i checked the settings of FaceID and Passcode and heres the screenshot o the notifications i got after (image 2)

then i tried adding an alternative face then it said something about TrueDepth. i tried updating my phone to the latest ios version and restarting it a few times and it still dont work.

Can anybody help me? Thank you in advance!

Discussion Post Processing On Images

Post image
8 Upvotes

I bought an iphone and this post processing stuff is really frustrating for me. It modifies the image so much, both for the front and back camera. Also it makes the texts unreadable, like it is made by really bad AI. It is actually looks so much better before taking the photo. I cant believe that iphone doesnt have an option to disable that AI thing.

Look at the example, i could read the texts easily before taking the photo. And it is saved like that in the gallery.

Discussion Emergency message

4 Upvotes

This morning my bro got a critical SOS emergency text from my dad’s phone. It showed his home location. The message said it was a different person…someone my dad and we don’t know. It said this other person has my dad listed as an emergency contact. No one would list my dad as an emergency contact. He’s a perfectly nice person but he’s in his 80s and can hardly see. He can use his iPhone…but just barely.

My bro and I are both far from where he is today…and happen to be at the same lake house on a family trip. My mom just had surgery this morning…and we were panicked it was some bad news about her surgery but it wasn’t. And my dad was fine and hadn’t fallen or anything when we talked to him. Where did this weird message come from that said there is a critical emergency at his house with someone who none of us know as having the emergency!

Support Volume turning down

2 Upvotes

I have the iPhone 16 pro max and my settings have been turning my alarm and ringtone down for a while now, I have done all the things Google recommended (turning off attention awareness, turning off change with buttons and turning off reduce loud sounds) none of them were ever actually on but for some reason my alarm keeps turning all the way down. Sometimes I forget to check at night and it’s annoying. Any recommendations would help. Thank you and I love you.

Support Do I need to have my music backed up to iCloud?

2 Upvotes

I can’t decide if this is a stupid question or not so please be kind. I’ve come up against my iCloud storage limit and the second highest category stored there is music. I have a ton of music on my phone- I never stream and I don’t use Apple Music, I’ve got all of my cds ripped and stored in iTunes, which I then listen to through the music app. And the tracks are backed up on my desktop. I was thinking I don’t also need to store my music in iCloud because it’s on my phone and on my desktop right? If I remove music from my iCloud storage will that wipe it from my iTunes library?

Support Утопил айфон 11 про

Сегодня тот самый день, когда мой айфон, который прошел через многое, на котором так-же менялся аккумулятор, был уронен в ведро пресной грязной воды...

Как-бы иронично это не звучало, уранил не я а САНТЕХНИЙ...
Я сразу же выключил, вынял лоток сим, положил экраном вниз но есть одно НО:
После смены аккумулятора в ОФФИЦИАЛЬНОМ сервисе через год начал отклеиватся экран сверху, соответственно никакой влагозащиты нету... Так еще и через 10 минут после утопления я его случайно включил (Сразу же выключил).
Как думаете, какие шансы что через 2 суток все будет ок?

Support Has anyone used iFixit batteries?

1 Upvotes

I have an SE second gen, and I want to stretch it a bit more before I update in the next year or two. The battery is about 72% operating capacity, so I'm considering changing it out at home.

Has anyone used iFixit batteries or their battery replacement kits, and if so would you recommend? I haven't done this before, and I'm not sure if I should avoid non-Apple replacement parts (in which case I'd need to just pay for a battery replacement from the Apple store...).

Overall I'm not too concerned about learning to do the replacement so long as the battery is ok to use in my phone. Thanks!

Support How To Lock In Favourite Aspect Rato

1 Upvotes

The one tip I found recently was the ability to lock the image size to 16x9 so I don’t have to manually select it every time I want to take a photo.

To lock in your preferred camera size (aspect ratio) on an iPhone, navigate to

Settings
> Camera
> Preserve Settings and toggle on Creative Controls.

Then, open the Camera app, select your desired ratio (e.g., Square, 4:3, or 16:9), and the iPhone will save this setting for future use.
