1. If a website doesn't have it setup that I can click their phone number to dial, I cannot copy/paste it into my dialer. Why do you not have this option, iPhone?!?!?!

2. I cannot divide my photos into individual folders. Yes, I can make secondary folders to put them in, but they're also in my main folder and that's annoying. Can't hide my NSFW folder!


What are yours?

You do have this option.

Copy it. And paste it into the empty space above the numbers.

How about quoting a previous post on this site on iPhone? That's pretty annoying.

Android is simply highlight the text and hit quote.

On iPhone, you need to highlight text , hit select, hit copy, then hit quote, click in the quote box, wait for keyboard, hit the quote box again, then hit quote and submit.

Is there another way? If there is, I'd appreciate hearing it.

With my Samsung 6 I could set something like a work address and when I got in my car and the bluetooth connected it would pop up and tell me how long it will take to get there based on current traffic.

Cannot duplicate that on my Iphone, I have tried misc apps.

It's intuitive once you know how it works Left swipe for back works well and is supported by most apps I use, but I remember my first few weeks on an iPhone I kept exiting the app because I was hitting the home button trying to go back.

What version of iOS are you running? My iPhone has given me time estimates for quite a while on it's own via notifications, and it's baked in and customizable on the new widgets in iOS 10. And if you like Google Maps better, you can use the Google Maps widget instead of the Apple Maps one.

I'm just here to report that after upgrading to iOS 10, my iPhone 6 Plus is garbage.

Many apps now "stall." Even native apps to the iPhone. No amount of restarts or uninstall or reinstall seems to help.

I used to think that people were crazy to suggest that Apple purposely tries to tank an "older" phone, but today I am not so sure.

Same thing is happening to my wife's phone, iPhone 6.

With the new update, I am no longer able to quote from my phone on this site as well.

Old update, no issues.

iOS 10 supports 2 generations before that. If they want to force anyone to upgrade sooner it's not people on 6es.

What widgets do you have set up? I've noticed that if I hit the widget screen which I have the map on, my location services will stay on for a bit after I've left the screen. Maybe you have a widget that is doing something heavier than you realize in the background.

I'm on the latest iOS 10.0.2 and I just quoted you without copy/pasting.
