    Help: I need to find a way to block the Phone app at night

    I have a teenager and her iPhone is configured with Screen Time. Downtime is set to block many apps late at night when it's time to sleep.

    My iPhone won't ring

    I bought my iPhone SE (2022), having never had an iPhone before. For some strange reason, incoming calls trigger only a vibration. The phone does not ring. How do I set this up so the phone actually rings during an incoming call?

    Why are my iPhone favorites contacts rearranging on their own?

    Alternative "Phone" app?

    iPhone Downgraded from iOS 10 b2 to iOS 9.3.3 WORST IDEA

    So my iPhone 6S Plus was running the iOS 10 public beta 2. I finally decided the hell with it let me get rid of this beta and go on 9.3.3. Apparently that was a BAD idea. My "phone" app instantly crashes whenever I try to open it, but after 3-5 times it will open. Or if I open up multitask and...
