Thanks for the great article 🌹
Peace, mercy and blessings of God
Has the device overheating problem in the 15 Pro Max been solved?
As it was mentioned in your previous article that Apple can solve this problem in an update?
May God’s peace, mercy, and blessings be upon you, Jabr 🙋♂️
Yes, this matter was addressed in the new update from Apple. Apple always aims to improve the performance of its devices and solve the problems faced by users. So, we hope that the heating issue on the iPhone 15 Pro Max has been resolved thanks to this update. 📱👍🏼
Feel free to share your experience with us after the update!
Thank you for a very, very excellent update. The most important thing for me is heating the iPhone XNUMX Pro Max. It has ended forever, God willing. May God grant you success.
Brothers, I have a problem after the recent updates. The automatic screen saver does not work in the WhatsApp application. If you open messages and remain on the screen for a long time without activity, the screen remains activated and lit, and anyone can view the messages.
This problem is only in the WhatsApp application, even though I have activated facial unlocking
Hi Musa 👋, It seems that the WhatsApp app may have some bugs after the update. But don't worry, there's an old but golden trick that may help. Try closing the application completely and restarting it. If the problem persists, try reinstalling the app. If the problem persists even after that, the best thing you can do is wait until WhatsApp releases an update to fix this problem 🙏📱💡
WhatsApp latest update is bad
And full of errors
You encountered a problem and the only solution is to close WhatsApp completely by pulling the program up and then restarting it
There is also a sound problem related to WhatsApp
So it is not possible to lower and raise the volume using the buttons in the program
The solution is the same
Close WhatsApp
I am surprised by the large number of updates on WhatsApp
Almost every week he talks and different errors and problems appear 🙃🙃
Unfortunately, the application widget for My Prayers in Arabic has not been fixed
Hello Ihab Jadallah 🙋♂️, we apologize for the inconvenience you are experiencing with the To My Prayer application widget. We will take your feedback into consideration and hope that this issue will be resolved in the upcoming updates. Thank you for connecting and trusting iPhoneIslam 🍏💚.
Unfortunately, Apple has a problem in the iOS 17 system regarding the language of the widget, and this applies to most applications. Apple takes the language of the device regardless of the language of the application. We and developers from around the world have contacted us to solve this problem, and we hope that Apple will solve the problem. The solution is now to change the device language.
One of the problems that I am afraid of is the problems with VoiceOver or voiceover. What is the news about voiceover in the update that came out yesterday? I hope that in every update you talk about this aspect because it matters to blind people like me.
Hello Sultan Muhammad 👋, Thank you for reaching out and expressing your interest in voiceover. Unfortunately, no changes specific to VoiceOver were mentioned in the new iOS 17.1 update in the article we published. But voiceover is a priority for Apple, and they always strive to improve this feature in every new update. I will be sure to mention any information about voiceover in our future articles 📝💙.
I haven't updated to the 17 yet, for fear of battery drain and other problems. Do you recommend me to update? My regular iPhone 13
Hello Sultan Muhammad! 🍏 You seem to be being very cautious, which is excellent! 🎩 For the iOS 17.1 update, Apple has fixed many issues that were present in the original version. So, if you're experiencing any of these issues, an update might be the logical next step for you. But always make sure to take a backup before updating! 👍📱
Hi
Thankfully updated
In fact, I think it is correct unless it is necessary to download every update issued by Apple for the health and benefit of the device.
If the update does not help, it certainly will not harm, and God knows best
Greetings to all
Hello Khaled Abu Al-Walid 🙋♂️, Thank you for your participation, and I agree with you on this opinion. Indeed, not every update is necessary, unless it contains security improvements or solutions to problems that may affect the use of the device. May God grant you success and guide your steps 🍏📱😊
Please tell Apple to fix the old voiceover issues
Such as the problem of double-clicking to activate an item not responding after exiting an application that was displaying a keyboard on which a blind person was typing using direct touch mode
Also, it is still not well compatible with other keyboards such as Google, Microsoft, or Yandex keyboard...
The pronunciation tool does not switch from English to Arabic if the text contains punctuation marks or emojis, and this is if the system language is English
The problem that gets on my nerves the most is when I use the iPhone quickly and Voiceover sometimes interferes with me, for example when I enter an application or open a page in an application or return to the page before it. When I touch an element, save its place and click twice, I find that Voiceover has ignored my previous press and returns the cursor to the first one. An element on a page or interface.
Hello Islam 🙋♂️, Thank you for your valuable and detailed comment. Unfortunately, I am only a tech blogger and do not have the ability to communicate directly with Apple. But you can certainly send your opinion and problems directly to Apple through the “Submit an Opinion” page on their official website. Also, you should know that Apple is always working to improve its products and services based on feedback from users like you 🍏💪.
Anyone noticed that after the update, the content displayed on the watch became smaller than before, or I imagine 🤔
Hello Saeed Al-Qaddani! 😄 There is no change in the size of the content displayed on the watch interface after the update. It may be related to the screen settings on your device. Try checking your screen and text settings in Settings, and make sure everything is set as you like. 🍏🔍
We download and enjoy the update, which I have heard many advantages over
...New ringtones * Message tone 50 seconds
New wallpapers * New application * Speeding up the phone and solving problems * New capabilities in the stand 🙌👍
Hi
Why don't you publish the negatives of the updates?
Why do you encourage us to post updates?
You encourage Apple and even join them in spoiling our batteries.
By the way, there are groups on Facebook that do a very nice job because they are characterized by credibility and neutrality.
Greetings
Hello Hema 🙋♂️
Here at iPhoneIslam we always strive to provide the most accurate and transparent information. We encourage updating because it mostly contains bug fixes and performance improvements, but of course user opinion should also be taken into account. We will be more careful to provide full details about future updates, including pros and cons. Thank you for your comment, it contributes to improving our content 😊👍
Hahaha, world, understand that there is no such thing as negatives of an update that has not happened 😂 nor will there be updates called modifications, fixes, closures of loopholes, brother, strange and strange people. You seem to like a phone 📱 that you buy, and after XNUMX years you will not find an update, modification, or even closing a loophole like other Android phones 😒 brother. If I could, I could spare you the triviality

Hi
What about the iPhone 15 Pro and Max battery?
Has it improved with this update?!
I am afraid that this update will update from iOS 17.03, as it will increase battery consumption.
May God’s peace, mercy, and blessings be upon you, Counselor Ahmed Kirmeli 🙋♂️
New updates from Apple usually include improvements to battery performance, but this depends largely on how you use your device. If your device is working fine with iOS 17.03 and you're not experiencing any issues, you may want to wait a bit until you read more reports about the update's battery impact before you update.
But we always remember, don't forget to take a backup of your device before updating! 📱🔋🚀
