LOL – you are correct. I will get used to this just as I am getting used to the feel of the different home button on the 8 vs the 5. I would still prefer a My Account tab rather than both a games & arcade tab. That is no doubt my age showing! Sherry Wells From:

That did it. I had touched the screen before swiping. This time I waited to hear the date & swiped before touching anything. You would think that something one does fairly frequently like updating apps would be a tab rather than both games & arcades each having their own tab. Of course

OK, I went to the app store & was on the apps tab. When I swipe right it starts going through all the available apps. I hear the app name then get repeatedly. I tried a couple other tabs but am not hearing my account. I do not have a home tab. The tab to the farthest left is Today & it

Hello all, I recently got a new IPhone, an 8. On my old 5S which was still running IOS 12 something, I could update apps by going to the app store, selecting the update tab at the bottom then selecting update all. Now I go to the app store & there is no update tab at the bottom. The tabs

How would I use control C & V on the phone?? I talked to Apple help & they told me that you just have to type in new names & phone numbers to add them to a group. There’s not much of a point in doing this however as you cannot send a message to a group using the message app. I just had

Hi All, I used to have an app on my phone that I used to send group texts. It was very easy to use. It appears that I must have deleted it as I can't find it & of course can't remember the name. So first, can anyone recommend an ap for texting a group that is accessible & easy to use.

There was a long discussion of this problem recently. Are the ones not sending by any chance Android users? It seems to be a common problem that when you send to an Android user the message says undeliverable. Some people reported that the message did go through in spite of the undeliverable

Do you leave the unsent text in your messages app? If not, try leaving it there. I find that if someone has messages in my messages app, the message goes through. Also, apparently using the dictate option in the send message screen seems to work when using Siri does not. This does seem

I have the same issue. This seems to happen when I try to text those who do not have an IPhone. Every single one I have investigated has an Android. Once there is a text in the messages app, the next message seems to send just fine. So, for example, I send a message to ABC & it fails. I
