Forum Thread: Messages to Android Delayed by Several Hours

Hey folks! So my friend and I cannot figure this out. When I sent a text to her from my phone (XS, latest iOS), her phone (Android, unknown) sometimes does not receive it for several hours - up to a whole day, even. This doesn't happen with every message, it's completely random. One message can go through, the next she'll get like 9 hours later.

Forum Thread: iMessage Profile Pic or Avatar Not Working in iOS 13

I couldn't find an answer for this anywhere, but the iMessage profile pic or avatar is not working in iOS 13.

After I change it, I'll go back into the settings or via the message app and it's back to my initials. Can't figure out a way to get it to stick. Anyone else having issues with this?

Forum Thread: Battery Life on iOS 13.1.2 on the iPhone 7 !

I know that with every update there are certain things that get added that use more batter life and drain the overall precentage of the iPhone, but this new update is terrible. I'm using an iPhone 7 on iOS 13.1.2 and the battery health on my phone is 99%. My phone gets seriously warm and the drain on it is even worse.

Forum Thread: iOS 13 Bug - Company Short Codes Problem

I'm using an iPhone 6S Plus as my work phone and I updated it to iOS 13 tonight.

Forum Thread: iOS and macOS vs iOS and Windows Integration: What Would I Be Missing?

Hi! I've been using iPhones since 2013 (5c -> SE) and I'll most definitely keep doing so in the future. Probably going to upgrade in 2019 to the next XS iteration. I've also been using an iPad Air since its 2014 inception — not as likely to upgrade in the short term, but I'm also quite attached to it. 2020 or 2021 should see me getting a new model. I also have an Apple TV. The Watch has remained an unjustifiable gadget for me, but I'm keeping my eye on it. Maybe 2019 or 2020 I'll bite that bu...

Forum Thread: IOS Monitoring via iCloud; Can We Decode the Data Ourselves?

So, its no secret you can monitor an IOS device if you have the users AppleID credentials via a 3rd party application like mSpy etc. My question is, can we obtain this information ourselves without including a 3rd party? Is there software readily available to retrieve and decode the icloud information into a practical GUI ? or even a basic Linux app which can pull that icloud information down into a xml, or something i could manually code to make sense of that data?
