A dimmed Trash button is Apple telling you the photo came from a computer. The other cases announce themselves in the confirmation wording, and Screen Time is not one of them.

There is a Scan QR Codes switch, and Apple documents it nowhere. Two free tests tell you whether it is even your problem, starting with handing the code to another phone.

Your contacts got a text with your location, not a call and not Find My access. What Apple documents, where the two privacy pages disagree, and the one control that stops the location updates.

One search decides whether the App Store left your Home Screen or left the phone. Apple’s own wording is that the restriction removes the icon, and in the EU the app really can be deleted.

Apple has never published a wattage that triggers the Slow Charger message, and the figure people quote comes from a different sentence on its page. What it does document, and why a real 20W adapter still sets it off.

Apple publishes two different waits for this alert on two different pages, and the short one is on the oldest page. What to do when the phone is wet, when it never was, and when you need to charge it right now.

Automations built on the App Is Opened trigger stop firing after a restart, with no error shown. Nobody has published a fix, and the one workaround that exists deletes every personal automation on the phone.

A respring and a real restart look almost identical and mean different things, and the panic entries tell you which branch you are on. Includes the fixes people actually confirmed, and the ones nobody has ever reported working.

Apple’s instruction if the call has connected is the opposite of your instinct: stay on the line and explain. This covers the triggers, the switches, and the routes those switches leave open.

Orders you never added turn up in Wallet because of a setting with two separate switches, one for Apple Pay and one for Mail. They work differently, Apple commits to different things about each, and turning one off does not touch the other.
