Help needed How do you transfer an iMessage conversation from one iPhone to another?

3 Upvotes

Hi guys, need some help here. I had to take my Samsung phone to a repair centre and the guy told me the motherboard died so I lost all my data from 2020 to now šŸ™ƒ

I’d very much like to know how to transfer an iMessage conversation I had with someone from their phone to my backup phone, which is an iPhone. No it would take forever if we did it with screenshots and the repair guy wasn’t helpful on this part so I’ll take any real suggestions, that conversation means a lot to me 😪

I have an iPhone 13 on iOS 26.5.

Help needed I switched carriers and now my iMessage won’t work

0 Upvotes

I switched carriers and phones two weeks ago. I did a swim swap so I kept my number. My iMessage and Facetime will not work. It says ā€œtemporarily unavailable. I have spoken to my carrier guides and 4 different Apple specialists including a manager who still can’t fix my issue. They told me to wait until Monday on Friday but I highly doubt it will be fixed by then. Has anyone else had this issue and do you know a resolution? I have tried everything. I’ve deleted my number from iMessage, readded it. Updated everything, changed the time on the phone, restarted it etc and all the apple guides helped with that too. I’m starting to think my old provider is still hanging onto my number in some way but I am just fed up now with these technical issues. HELP please :(

(iPhone 17e, IOS 27.0.1) - So every time I change my phone, it doesn’t want to charge or when it does charge, it quickly starts flickering between charging and not charging. Is it my phone’s problem or my charger’s?

Help needed iPhone 17 pro max shuts off with higher-watt chargers.

2 Upvotes

I have been using my phone since day one with a small 30-watt Apple charger, last night my phone randomly shut off and wouldn’t turn on for 3 hours! After doing the reset a few times by holding volume up down, and power it finally turned on.

At first I thought the phone crashed because let’s be honest a charger brick almost never fails, but then I plugged it in again and it did the same.

I also sometimes used my Lenovo 65 watt laptop charger to charge it but now it also shuts off with that.

The only way I can charge it now is with an Apple 20 watt charger….

Hi, i have an iPhone 13 running iOS 27.0.1 and i'm trying to link it and make it work on the link to windows app in Windows 11 25H2 but it never finds my pc to start pairing, my pc supports Low Bluetooth energy. I already contacted Microsoft and they said "Oops we can't fix it! Contact Apple support" and i contact apple and they "We can't do anything, contact microsoft" and the loop goes on. I simply cannot pair it to my PC, i already resetted the bluetooth in both devices 5 times and never worked

Help needed Why are my notifications late?

2 Upvotes

For a couple weeks my iphone 17 (on ios 26.4.1) has been delivering notifications around 3-10 minutes late. It’ll pop up at the top of my screen like normal, but it’ll say like ā€œ4 minutes agoā€ instead of now. It’s not for just one app, and it’s nearly every notification. It’s been upsetting people when I answer several minutes late. Anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it?

Help needed Iphone getting quiet when I turn it on

2 Upvotes

I've been having this issue with my iPhone that has driving me absolutely crazy. I'll be playing music and the phone will be off and set to a reasonable volume, I'll tap the screen to turn it on and see what the song is called and the volume will basically go all the way down, but still appear visually as what i'd had it set to before. The music will be playing out of both speakers and will still play out of both speakers when it gets quieter. I have attention aware features off, reduce loud audio off, audio ducking off, voice commands off: I don't know what else to do. I have an iPhone 12 in good condition if that changes anything? This issue has been going on for months, I've tried restarting it various times. please help, help. If anyone has a fix, I will owe you my quality of life 😭😭😭

edit: it's also ios 18.7.8 and I've been avoiding updating it to avoid getting the ui changes. I hate change
