Apple needs three other participants before Leave works, so four people in total. Green bubble groups have no Leave option at all.

The server is usually fine. A VPN, a Push limit Apple documents, or a provider app password are what break the path to your mailbox.

Your greeting lives on the carrier, not the phone. Ring your own number first, then set it from the carrier menu if the app will not save it.

Calendar search went empty on iOS 26. The switch fix works only with a full restart in the middle, and Apple searches four fields.

Screen Time restrictions remove the row entirely, the setting moved into the Apps list, and some countries block FaceTime outright.

Playback silence and recording silence are two different faults, and a crossed-out speaker in Photos ignores your volume buttons.
