Does anyone know of an Apple Watch app that allows to set a different rest timer for each set?

So far, the closest thing I've found is one timer for warm up sets and other for the working sets.

I have screen protector on. But there is no difference without it. It isn’t comfortable for me to play games on this phone. Whereas I didn’t have this problem on Redmi Note 8 Pro

Brand new, sealed iPhone got stolen last night in a snatch and grab. What is the point of IMEI or serial number if Apple can’t brick it??? The thief can just use or sell the phone to someone here or in another country..

Hi! I recently upgraded to iPhone 15 Pro Max, and a function that used to work, but is not working anymore (at least for me) is that I cant take photos with the volume buttons anymore.

Am I the online one with this problem? Havent seen anyone report this error yet. Worked fine on 14 Pro.

I loved that feature, so if anyone can help me get it back, i would be really happy.

Thanks!

Tf is up with the call screen button switch? They swapped speaker, and mute… why? It’s extremely pattern breaking and if you’re elderly or mentally impaired that’s a detrimental change. It’s like they don’t even test these things. I’m once again saying, “I wish I didn’t update”. Tbf it didn’t automatically in my sleep.

I recently found my old iphone 7 from like 5 years ago and wanted to see if i can get the old photos off of it. the screen is quite broken, does not display anything at all. i know its on tho because i charged it and the home button vibrates when i press it. also, when i first charged it, it vibrated 3 times and im not sure what that means. how can i go about getting the photos off of it?

Hi there,

I have an iPhone 11. If I’m listening to a podcast on Spotify and go to unlock my phone the volume drops drastically, yet the phone is still showing that it’s on max volume.

If I pause the podcast for a few seconds then resume then the volume will return to normal.

I cannot for the life of me work out why it does it and it’s so annoying! Doesn’t just happen with Spotify.

Any one know what’s going on? Thanks.

I'm typing this on my old iPhone 7 Plus. I had a new battery installed in July. However, starting at 100 percent charged, while it is turned on, the battery percentage visibility drops a percent or two every 5 minutes. I've uninstalled all browsers so the drain is not coming from open tabs. ALSO, the top fourth of the back of the iPhone (starting beneath the flash/lens) heats up as the draining continues. Should I try getting a different new battery, or is the heating up a sign of a meltdown coming?

I've been hard at work on Blackbox for visionOS (check it out if you haven't! The iOS version won an Apple Design Award in 2017 too!) but I took a little break recently to make a new toy app: Newji! Instead of waiting for official unicode emoji additions, now you can generate your own with a custom trained model my friend made, right from within iMessage even. I'd love if you gave it a try. It's not quite done in my head but is too fun not to just share.

😋 Download Newji on the App Store

How I use it
Newji is meant to be a silly thing but I've been using it tons for custom stickers on Instagram and Discord and even some of my group chats. Like a lot of AI image models it works best with nouns, and the more descriptive the better! If it creates something strange, it's useful to think through how your prompt could be misconstrued and when in doubt just run it again since the process is of course non-deterministic!

Privacy and more

We have a huge focus on privacy, don't ask for any sort of login info, and keep everything as anonymous as possible. Unfortunately we can't run the model itself on the device and there are server costs so we're giving everyone 10 credits to start and charging what I hope are affordable prices after that. We are also using iOS 17's background removal feature to cut the emojis out which works pretty dang well!

TL;DR: Try my new app Newji to create and send your own custom emojis!

I also have some big emoji credit promo codes I'll happily share with anyone who shares their best animal hybrid emojis! Hello dragon puppy 🐲🐶

Hi all! I have an iPhone 11 with a magsafe case for a 3rd party magsafe charger. I am considering buying a genuine magsafe charger and wallet, but I was wondering if when you attach the accessories to the back of the phone, is there the same animation/notification as there would be on a newer iPhone?

Thanks

I came from an iPhone 12 Pro and I miss everything about it. I've been using the 15 pro for about three weeks and I can't get used to how bulky this thing is. The camera protrudes way more than the 12 and most cases have an extended bumper to protect the lenses which prevents me from putting my phone facing back down. My fingers ache from holding the phone due to the thickness. It feels like a brick in my pocket too.

The only good thing is the camera quality. I'm trying so hard to like this phone.

Getting sober and trying to manage my stress, so this was satisfying to see. I love my watch. I have a ways to go though!

It's exactly what the title says. Numerous people have also experienced this, and no one seems to have the answer. It's a "click click...click click...click click" sound with the exact same time intervals exact same period exact same noise. I first started getting this noise from the Duolingo app when I opened it for the first time in a really really long time (see others complaining about this here (video example), here, and here; the most recent one was three days ago). I updated the app, deleted and reinstalled it, didn't work. The only thing that worked was if you put the phone on Silent Mode. So I thought maybe it's some bug with the app's audios.

But today it happened again to a different app: Star Walk 2. The clicking noise was the exact same in the exact same intervals. Silent Mode turns off the app's ambient music and eliminates the sound.

Needless to say this is EXTREMELY CREEPY. The fact that it happened to different apps suggests that it must be an iPhone or iOS problem. I've been scouring the internet and no one has a definitive answer. Is this happening to anyone else also?? For the sake of my sanity can someone PLEASE figure out what the hell is going on?? Did I get some sort of malware or spyware?? I'm using an iPhone 13 Pro Max running ios 15.6.1 but it happens to other people with different iPhone models and different iOses too (one person said that it was even happening to their Reddit app!) If this is such a widespread problem surely you guys have experienced this?? If you have any information please chime in, because it would really help. Thanks.

Literally the title. I’m starting mechanical engineering and know that historically Mac’s suck at engineering software, but does that still is true nowadays? Speaking mainly for Solidworks because i know there isn’t a version for macOS, and really don’t know if there’s an alternative for using it (e.g. parallels)

Hey guys, so today I went ahead and bought a docking station with 2 HDMI slots. I connected the first monitor and it worked quite well but when I added the second one, it considered them to be one monitor...

I have the 2021 Macbook M1 Pro

Sad noises.

So I picked up my charger to charge my M3 for the FIRST TIME, and the block fell right into my cup of tea. It’s a 16oz mug, so that block went straight down to the bottom. Is the block most likely completely broken? I literally got my computer last night.

Is there a recommended program to extract/save all images that have been sent in am iMessage thread? I have a group chat with my parents and there are pictures buried deep from years ago I want to get out and save to my desktop. I have tried iMazing and seems to work as attended but not a fan of their license system any other programs that do it as well?

Thanks!
