Geofencing Not Working Hey, I am running an iPhone XR on iSO 16.1.2 but I am having awful trouble with the Geofencing element of the phone. I am trying to use both the DoorBird app (for my gates) and Philips Hue app (for my lights) but neither trigger as they should when I enter the geofencing radius. I noted that several users were having issues in iSO 15 which should have been fixed in 15.3 but I am still have trouble in iSO 16. I have tried resetting my location settings but that has made no difference. Any help would be good please!

IOS 18 and CarPlay My issues with my iPhone 15 Pro and CarPlay began after I updated to iOS 18. I have a 2020 Honda CRV. My car no longer recognized my phone (my cord was still charging my phone). After going through all the settings on my phone and car, I finally took my car to my Honda dealership. A manager and I sat in the car and tried resetting the Infotainment system, using a different cord, etc. Nothing worked. I then called and spoke to Apple and went through different settings. Again, nothing worked. The Apple representative suggested I take the car back to Honda and ask them to update the stereo firmware. Back to Honda and sat with another manager who could not fix it - suggested that my car might be too old?!?! He suggested I call Honda headquarters for assistance. Same suggestions - no change. I took my car back to Honda today and had a tech go through the computer system in the car. No change. In all these cases, other iPhones were plugged in and worked fine …. but none were updated to iOS 18. (My husband has an iPhone 15, updated to iOS 18, and did not work in my car.) As I waited for my car to be returned, I found a lot of possible solutions in the forum and I found what changed it for me - TURNED OFF MY VPN. Apple - please fix this ASAP. This has never been an issue before and I want to run my VPN.

iPhone Control Center no longer showing devices on lock screen A while ago (I’m talking years) when I was in the same room in my house as a HomePod playing music, or something playing on the Apple TV, my iPhone would automatically show the control center for that device on my Lock Screen. For the longest time now that feature just randomly stopped working. I can go into control center and manually change device, but I would like it to happen automatically like it used to. I am on an iPhone 16 Pro Max, running the latest iOS - but interestingly my wife is on an iPhone 13 running iOS 15 and the feature still works fine on her phone. I don’t think it worked on my previous device (iPhone 14 pro max) either. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

The most recent version of iOS that the 5th generation iPod Touch can install is iOS 9.3.5, which was made available on 25th August 2016.

Therefore, if your iPod is already using iOS 9.3.5, there are no further updates. That model was discontinued nine years ago and it is unlikely that there will be another update for it. So if the app that you're using requires a later version, there's nothing you can do.
