Hi, I’m Isaac Smith, the founder and editor of PC Glance, a website dedicated to all things related to computers, laptops, and technology. Ever since I was a kid, I was fascinated by how these machines work and what they can do.
I spent countless hours playing around with my laptop, researching solutions to problems, and discovering new software and gadgets. Following my passion for computer and technology I did my degree in computer science and I’ve been writing about technology since 2020, now I am a full time tech blogger.
On PC Glance, I share my passion and expertise with you through helpful tips, honest reviews, and comprehensive guides. My goal is to help you make the best choices for your needs and preferences, and to keep you updated on the latest innovations and trends in the tech industry. I love learning new things and sharing them with you.
When I’m not writing or testing new gadgets, I enjoy playing video games, watching movies, and reading books. I also like to travel and meet new people.
Holding an app icon runs two timers, not one, and the setting that governs the first is filed under Accessibility rather than Sounds and Haptics. This covers where it is, what Apple does and does not publish about it, and the neighbouring switch that can swallow the gesture entirely.
Apple only looks for duplicate photos while the iPhone is locked and connected to power, and says the pass can take up to a few days. This covers the iOS 26 route, why the row can be missing entirely, and what merging costs before you tap it.
Autocorrect stopped being only a spellcheck in iOS 17, when Apple added a word-prediction model. That is why a word you spelled correctly gets changed, and why the switch people reach for is usually the wrong one.
Each Weather widget carries its own location, set on the widget rather than in the app or in Settings, so changing one changes nothing else. This sorts the fix by what you are actually seeing, including the one version that has no documented fix.
Apple’s own two pages disagree on how to drop the pin, and one of them gives a gesture that does not work. The setting that stops most downloads sits in a sheet you cannot reach from Settings at all.
Every photo carries two dates and the library sorts by one of them, which is why a picture taken years ago can land at today. The switch is one button in Photos, and there is a separate fix when the photo’s own date is wrong.
Apple has no iPhone guide page for this setting at all. Here is what it does, what it does not control, the middle option almost nobody picks, and the readers whose maker tells them to leave it alone.
Your app settings did not vanish, they moved into a row called Apps. That happened in iOS 18 rather than the update you just installed, and Apple has never announced it on a single consumer page.
Photo Shuffle gets the blame everywhere, and it is something you have to pick. A Focus swaps the entire Lock Screen instead, and it can fire when you arrive somewhere or open one particular app.
Swiping the card off your Lock Screen does not hide it, it ends it, and only the app can start another. Apple publishes no troubleshooting page for this, so the rules live in its developer documentation.
