Keyword search in text does not take me to actual text I have been trying to find a text from a few years ago. I have found it using the keyword search. It only shows a preview of the text though. When I click on the text to take it there, it just takes me to the last text in that conversation. I can’t scroll to it because it was from several years ago and the app always crashes. What do I do to access conversation that took place several years ago?

Customizing the Apple News feed I keep asking Apple News to “suggest less” on stories in my feed in an attempt to customize the news feed. But I keep getting more of the same kind of stories. How long is it supposed to take Apple to reflect my preferences using this system? Also, why is there no search function in the News app for iPhone on the main screen when you want to find a story that you saw but can’t find it in your feed any longer? There is a search under “manage favorites,” but search should be easily accessible from the home screen of the app.

Searching my apps When I search my apps from my outer screen (i’m not very technical, but it’s the one to the left of my sign on screen) and I type the first letter of an app that I want to pull up quickly (example United Airlines) it shows the app when I type ~ or( or m or even x. so my question is what is the criteria that it searches for to pull up an app when none of those are located in the name of the app?

That’s unfortunate. We pay monthly subscription for the Apple News+ and don’t have such a simple ability to look up text/words. Do you happen to know if there are any workouts/ shortcuts ?
