Off topic: I bought the lumafusion app and downloaded it on the iPhone first, and when I wanted to download it on the iPad, Mardish bears what is the reason.
Peace be upon you. Kuwait and many other countries. The iPhone iOS is much later than the Samsung Android by years, the simplest example is the service of payment with bank and credit cards in the markets remotely or by touch. It is not available on the iPhone or through the Apple Watch. I hope that my voice directly reaches them. The suffering of years!! !
How do those in the mother of the world act 🤦 ♂️
May Allah reward you with all the best for this wonderful explanation
you are the best
Unfortunately, not all features work in most Arab countries, and we don't know why I don't work these features in a big country like Egypt
