Thanks for the suggestion. Yes, I have got it turned on, and also ‘Use True North’. . But the solution has turned out to be so simple and obvious that it never occurred to me! I have (or rather, I had) my phone in a case, which has an iron or steel shield built in. I had forgotten that. Now that...

I have an iPhone SE (new version). The magnetometer upon which the iphone's compass app depends behaves erratically and unpredictably. The compass frequently displays a wrong orientation. I have compass calibration switched on in Settings; if I switch calibration off and on again, the compass...

I updated my iPhone 7 to iOS 14.2 recently and very soon discovered that in Contacts and Mail, 'Groups' is broken: all my groups (which are also there on my Mac — linked to my iPhone by iCloud — and work normally there) show 'No Members' when a group is entered into the address field when...

That's just what I wanted to know. Thank you very much

NSquirrel, may I crave your indulgence a little more and ask you how you accessed these settings on your phone? My phone is an iPhone 7 and yours may be different in this respect; at any rate I have tried various places in Settings and cannot find all the corresponding details. Thank you in...

Thanks for that. I had come across SNAFU before, but never knew what it meant., though I should have done because my former wife is American.

Thanks for the suggestion, ITGeek. I'm afraid I really don't want to get into anything as complex as a home server. And, just to demonstrate how ignorant I am, I haven't a clue what any of your abbreviations mean — especially 'BT SNAFU'!

Thanks v. much, NSquirrel. I actually checked the details you list earlier and they seemed to be right, but I will check again. But the fact that I cannot get the Mail apps to access my BT mail either on my phone or my Mac still makes me think that it is not my settings that are at fault...

I have had two email accounts for many years, both on my iPhone 7 (IOS 13.5) and on my Mac (Mojave, OS 10.14.6): a gmail.com one and an iCloud.com one. I used also to have a Btinternet.com one on each device, but abandoned the BT accounts a long time ago because of continual problems. Recently...

Thank you, everyone, for helpful replies. I should have responded much earlier - to say that the apparent malfunction lay in my unanalyzed expectations, not my poor, maligned phone. I think I expected my finger pressing the home button to feel a response and therefore ignored the throbbing of...

That’s interesting, but not my experience. First of all, a purely visual reminder seems to me useless. A reminder should remind one of something to be attended or done when one is not looking at an open phone, waiting to be reminded. Before I upgraded, Reminders emitted both a visual and an...

I have updated to iOS 13.1.2. My phone is iPhone 7. Here is another Reminders problem: Reminders set to repeat monthly, daily , hourly sound a notification at the first set date and time, but do not repeat. This applies both to reminders. set before updating to iOS 13 and to new ones. I read...
