Past times they snuck in ways to get access to your phone, changed the security features, added features for the 11-16 year olds, or otherwise change settings that you spent hours to find and get right.? It was up to you to find these sneaky changes and fix them. ----------------------------------------- But back to square one.... and the fact that the pictures from the iPhone had suddenly gotten horrible..... --------------------------------------- THIS complaint is about the use of your phone as a camera.? In the past, the camera took jpg images.? With some recent iOS update, Apple decide that you did not want nor need that anymore.... that their new and? improved HEIC format is what you want.... so they set that in settings as the default. They even have the nerve to state that the images are just as good as jpg images..... BIG LIE!!! Let me assure you, the HEIC images are horrid.? Too heavily compressed.? Probably OK if you want to just see them on your phone, but absolutely wrong if you want to use the images to make prints, blow up images, or otherwise actually USE the images. The fix? Settings > Camera > Formats > Set to Most Compatible.???? Done. Now you are back to where you started..... after spending time to wonder WHY your images are so blocky, terrible (over compressed), and otherwise POC.? ( Pieces of !@#$). Thanks Apple.......? Does it really take that much effort for you to LEAVE OUR SETTINGS ALONE when you update iOS?????? -- Frank Filippone BMWRed735i at Gmail.com
