If I am on a call and have another call on hold, the call on hold will end when the active call ends (and...

    How do I block unwanted phone calls?

    About a year ago, I bought my first-ever iPhone. It sees light use as a voice-phone and texting device. Lately, I've seen a noticeable up-tick in unwanted phone calls and text messages. This one phone number from a distant area code, that I had never seen before recently, called me at least...

    Settings-Mail/Contacts/Calendar/Notes/Reminders-Accounts-iCloud-Media and Purchase always shows Off

    I went to a nearby Apple Store to check out the prototype and the prototype had the same problem. After clicking on it, the login page pops up and then returns to the off state. But click on the avatar at the top of the Settings to go in and go to this page is normal. Very wired bug.:oops:
