Question

Is it normal when a phone loses 1% battery in about 8 minutes?

Community Answer

Many battery issues are actually software-related. Sometimes something as simple as updating your phone's software can resolve a battery draining prematurely. You may also want to check the health of your battery. If it's exceeded too many discharge cycles, then it may merely be entering the end of its life.

Question

My confusion is that when I type Cydia, it showed Siri’s knowledge and a picture of the app, and it showed it under the little website column but, in did not show if it was on my phone.

Then you probably don’t have it. To be sure, type Cydia in App Store and if it says open instead of instore, your device is jailbroken.

Question

I have an iPhone XR (iOS 13.2.2 version). When I opened the notes to write something, it automatically threw me out of the notes and sent me to the camera. What should I do? Is it jailbroken or hacked?

If you have the shortcuts app, check to make sure there isn’t an automated shortcut making that happen. Other than that, talk to Apple Tech support online, on the phone, or in-store.

Question

Why does my phone have 100% battery that doesn't last more than 5 minutes, and turns off at any time?

Community Answer

Check your battery heath in Settings > Battery > Battery Heath. If it says service, then you will have to replace your battery.

Question

So is safe to say that my phone is not jailbroken if Cydia does not appear in App Store?

Community Answer

Yes, if Cydia doesn’t pop up in the App Store and it is not on your home screen, then your phone is not jailbroken.

Question

I’m afraid the previous owner may have put a tracking program on my iPhone 8. How do I check on that?

Community Answer

If the phone was reset when you got it, then that’s not possible. If it was not, reset it or browse for unfamiliar apps.
