Maybe you could try to select all and click that DELETE button?

I’ve owned several models of iPhone (3G, 4, 5s, 6s, 8), encased all of them, dropped each multiple times, even on concrete—and never broken a single one. You need a case.

The fronts and backs of iPhones are glass, and glass can still break when struck hard enough.

I respect your willingness to learn technology given you’re an older gentleman. I know some people your age who program but I also know many your age who just walk around barely knowing how to use their phones/computer etc.

There’s so much potential on the devices. It’s like a magic little pocket pool that can do and tell you whatever you want. I’m sure from the time you were a kid until now has been quite exciting.

My photos are currently 110gb 😂

Well, everyone is happy then! Glad to hear it!

And that Facebook, and not Apple, was at fault. :)

Ya got me there. But I looked in Facebook settings and figured out a way to fix the issue. Thanks for your help.

I’m not saying it doesn’t but I prefer having my personal pic and videos stored on a device that I have control over.

That was good 👍 some of it reminds me of umbutu mobile os.

Buy more storage on next iphone. Easy fix

Thanks for proving you don’t understand how apps work.

Google Photos. Best solution I ever found.

Google drive's free. It may have a limit just like icloud, but it's better than icloud. Also you get to choose which one to back up. Unlike with icloud, you have no idea what they backed up coz you can't technically see them all other than the percentage of how much files, photos, apps and such.

So for photos and vids and important files, i put them in google drive. Delete them afterwards, and the rest i let icloud do the work.

I learned my lesson when my ipod touch then was stolen, i bought an iphone and realized many of my notes, screenshots of reviewers, along with photos of important events wasn't saved in icloud but a lot of junk photos(memes, pinterest...you get the idea) was backed up.

Do you use RAW?

I once had photos take up 60 gigs after deleting a few photos that were approximately 3 gigs the usage dropped to 16 gigs

Upload to cloud and erase photos on the phone. Optimize photo storage. In settings.

Apple approves the apps. So they approve of audio hijacking by not only Facebook, but other apps as well without providing a native way to override this.

You can blame Facebook if you want, but I buy my phone from Apple and it’s the platform that should prevent the apps it allows on their platform to perform certain functions that causes a negative user experience. I blame Apple.

It’s not “iPhone” that needs to prevent it. It’s just how some apps are designed.

Blame Facebook.

It sucks that iPhone doesn’t provide a way to prevent audio hijacking.

Oh man, I thought I was safe so I fell asleep peacefully haha

No, I didn’t receive it again last night. I went to my settings and made sure to forget devices and check who I was sharing my location w etc.

Blame Facebook, honestly. Some apps just auto-hijack the audio when they’re used. Most games, for example.

>Screw iCloud they want money

It's almost as if providing infrastructure/storage for iCloud services costs money..

For 125 on gazelle you can buy an iPhone SE 2020 and receive updates for a few more years.

Nope. It’s a “safety alert”, meaning they’re not OP’s but some AirPods that have been moving alongside him for a while.

It’s an anti-tracking notification.
