    Over the past few days, my 8 Plus running iOS 11.4.1 has started to freeze when trying to unlock. Not every time but it seems to be happening more frequently. When I press the power button, I get a black screen with the clock at the top and and a padlock symbol (see screenshot). The phone...

    iPhone X SOLVED: "user error" iPhone X notch with duplicated icons on lock screen

    Anyone else have this going on with the duplicated notch icons? See the attached screenshot. I tried both a hard reset and soft reset options. Trying to avoid a complete iOS reinstallation. Once I unlock the phone, the notch indicators are normal. On iOS 11.4.1.

    Request: Lock Screen Handoff

    I've missed having access to Handoff on the lock screen since it broke in iOS 10 (I think?). I really want Apple to bring it back and I think it'd be perfect to style it like a Siri Shortcut suggestion. Heck it could be tagged as a Siri Shortcut to make it seem like part of iOS' intelligence...

    iPhone 6(S)/Plus iOS 11 - Messenger notifications on lock screen

    Hello one and all! I'm currently using an iPhone 6s running iOS 11.3.1. A while back, I turned off all sorts of notifications, chief among which were the ones for Facebook Messenger. I was (and to an extent still am) uncomfortable with private stuff popping up on my phone screen. All was well...

    Face ID - Skip the Lock Screen

    Some of us fly by the notification screen very often. I very much want Apple to implement THE OPTION, I stress the option of allowing a similar scenario to Touch ID's "rest to wake." Wake > Look > Home Screen. A completely hands free path to the home screen seems awesome.

    Macbook slow to unlock and freezes

    I have the 2017 MacBook (base model). When I first got it it was really fast and great. Recently I noticed that when I open the screen, it doesn't automatically wake up. It now takes some furious clicking on the keyboard to wake it up. Also I get the wird display bug. the screen goes all pink...

    Empty Lock screen

    Does anyone else randomly go to unlock their phone or go back to the lock screen and the jumbo clock disappears? I can replicate the issue on call but it does happen at least twice a day. The only way for me to fix it is by performing a soft reset. It’s really bothersome. This has happened on...

    iPad Clock and date centred again... did I miss a memo?

    I know it's not a disaster in the grand scheme of things, but... having cropped a photo of a close, personal friend for my lock screen, making sure there was enough space on the left to accommodate the clock and date, you can imagine my annoyance at finding the clock and date are now stamped...

    I use the Google Drive app to listen to demos and practice sessions from my band. The guys in my band upload .mp3s and .WAVs and I save them to my drive, star them and save them for offline listening. Not only could I play .mp3s and .WAVs in the app but they would continue to play on the lock...

    Dual time display on lock screen.

    How do I display dual time zones (Home & Roam) on the lock screen? Not a widget that I have to swipe right for, right on the main lock screen seen when I "raise to wake".

    Hey Siri "You'll need to unlock your iPhone first"

    Updated to iOS 10.1 on my iPhone. Now Siri will not open any of my apps from the sleep state. With passcode set to require after 4 hours, and phone passcode unlocked, it does not work. In iOS 9.X I could say "Hey Siri, open maps" and the phone would wake up and maps would open. (assuming that...

    iOS 10.0.2 - How to enable camera on iPhone 6 & iPad lock screen?

    I recently updated to iOS 10.0.2. To my dismay, I can no longer access the camera on the lock screen by swiping on the icon. This was a very useful function when I wanted to catch some quick shots with my iPhone 6 without first having to enter my passcode to access the camera on the home...

    iOS 10 Music Lock Screen

    Is there no way to love/dislike a song from the lock screen? So far, I have to unlock my phone and return to the music app every time I want to do this. Seems like a big omission unless I'm missing something. Thanks.

    iOS 10 Lock Screen: Return of "SLIDE TO UNLOCK" (Design Concept)

    The brand-new 'Press Home To Unlock' feature of the lock screen is, if not "very much" confusing for most previous iPhone users, quite a complicated approach just to unlock the device. The current prompt is just too small to notice, and sometimes hard to understand (Press Home To Unlock, then...

    Anyone else having issues with quick reply from the lock screen where the input box and send button do not show up making it impossible to reply? Keyboard, predictive words and the users message show but not the input box. Happens about 3 out of 10 times.
