@jmwilt21 Whilst we're at it iOS26 styling. Dark mode is horrible, but where the hell do you customise the icon style. It's not under anything logical that i can find

I'm planning on returning the iPhone. Love the new design, cameras are decent. Unfortunately this phone has reminded me why I haven't actually bought an iPhone with my own money in over 4 years (my previous iPhone was provided by my job). iOS is awful imo. Here is my rant: 1) The biggest issue is typing, which has me cursing at the phone several times a day. No 3rd party keyboard has changed that experience for me. 2) The notifications are terrible. They just disappear into the notification shade and there is nothing to remind you they are there. 3) The back gesture is inconsistent to the point where for certain apps, they are basically impossible to use with just my right hand. 4) Siri is a useless POS that has literally never been helpful unless it gets help from ChatGPT which it only does correctly 1/5 the time. 5) Widgets with interactive elements are useless because it just opens the app anyways. 6) 3rd party apps can’t fully run in the background so things like Google Photos backups are a pain. 7) And honestly, one of the biggest things I was looking forward to were the apparently superior 3rd party apps since that’s what people claim makes a huge difference. But not a single app I use is any better than the android app, just different and with different bugs. 8) I heard going into this that iOS 26 is a lot more stable than iOS 18 ever was. Well thank god I never experienced iOS 18 because as of now iOS 26 is still a buggy mess compared to my android phones. The only good thing about software is the Apple ecosystem with my Apple Watch Ultra, AirPods Pro, and MacBook Pro. But even that was not as cool as I remember it being. I could take it or leave it tbh. Rant over. My Apple friends, I respect your opinions and choice to stay with Apple. This has definitely reaffirmed my choice of being a long time android user. I’ll probably do a full review where I go over my full experience rather than just rant in the next few days.

@stevesi @jmwilt21 If they fixed it, then why in System Settings can I go to Apps -> Amazon -> Amazon Settings which just opens the Amazon App and loads the in app settings menu...

@jmwilt21 And when you go down the rabbit hole of getting to the setting you want, the way back is to tap a really small back button that appears in the top left of the screen 😅

@greghesp I hate that so many settings are in the settings app. Camera settings should be in the camera app...

@monzo Could you add a confirmation dialog to this button. Pressed it by mistake, didn't realise what the biometric was for, cancelled my direct debit 🤦 Or give us the option to undo it 😉

@nectar Just had a notification of someone spending all the points on my nectar car in London. It wasn't me, what can I do?

@LinkedIn And then to add insult to injury, start sending me emails 5 days later to tell me someone has changed my profile picture from Hong Kong, and to confirm if it was me. Great help, and fantastically lapse security.

@LinkedIn Then they offer to help my giving me a way to restore my profile, but tell me the request failed because they don't store historical data

How does someone get into my @LinkedIn account with 2FA and Passkey enabled. Proceed to change all my data, delete messages, connections etc without a single notification from LinkedIn?

@ianlivy1 @1PercentClubITV Ahh yeah fair. 2 cows, therefore 4 letters

One of these just doesn't belong! Can your brain find it? #The1PercentClub

@1PercentClubITV Fuming. Got every question right apart from this stupid one. Didn't even use the pass 🤬😂

@1PercentClubITV Bit of a crap question. It's got 2 correct answers

@CheshireEast Brown Bin collected fine, but Grey bin not collected 5 minutes later due to "access issues". The same "access issue" the brown bin lorry managed to drive past just fine... 🤦🙄 ps. They got half way down the street and couldn't be bothered to walk 10 meters

@OctopusEnergy any chance someone could do a reset on your side so I can use my Home Mini again with my new smart meters? OHM has been factory reset, but it won't connect to the meters until something is done on your side I believe

@Lord_Sugar @ITVX @ITV To be fair, @BBCOne have been doing this for years, but the subscription is a "mandatory" one.

I feel I have been cheated by ITV X. I paid for a subscription on the basis that there would be no adverts in the programmes. However, whilst there are no 3rd party adverts. They are constantly advertising their own shows. It's really frustrating. @ITVX @ITV

@zzoommfullfibre Seems to be an outage in our area, but your website and phone lines are also down so nowhere to report it. Any ideas?

@GOVUK Why does the @DVLAgovuk tax payment page not detect the card type based on the bin range.. 😂

@beaglestreet This bug has prevented me from getting a quote online for nearly 2 months. Can you fix it please?

Quality service from @AvantiWestCoast on the 07:30 from Crewe to London. Over sold, shoulder to shoulder standing room only, can't get to booked seats, but apparently all reservations cancelled anyway. Ridiculous.
