XR iOS 17 full screen caller photos on lock screen I’m legally blind. I rely on photos of my contacts to show on full screen even when my XR phone is locked. Now it seems that functionality is no longer available on iOS 17. I can’t see who is calling when presented with the tiny circle photo. If I’m wrong please help me find out how to reset that feature. FYI, I have many contacts but no longer have the original photos used. I know updates are necessary but significant changes make it difficult for visually impaired people. I memorize much of the steps required to navigate the functionality of each feature. The contact photo/poster feature is complicated and complex given my disability. I hope the solution is an easy one.

Can and cannot send photo to number from scanned QR code I scanned a QR code that starts an SMS message with a number not in my Contacts. I have the ability to send a photo to this number. On my friend's iPhone, their camera icon is grayed out when they scan - they must first send a text before they can send a photo. Why? Neither of us have ever texted the number before.

You can set up a shortcut (via the Shortcuts app) to append data to a Numbers table.

I believe there are also actions for the Shortcuts app that can extract values from an image or QR code.
