How to Fix iPhone Saying You Have Unread Messages
Whenever your iPhone is saying you have unread messages but you’re sure you’ve read them all, you might have actually missed an old text that remains unread. When this happens, there is a pretty easy way to find the message. First, you need to have Filter Unknown Senders enabled. Once that is done, simply head over to the Messages app.
* Open the Messages app, and tap Filters in the top right corner. This button only appears when you enable Filter Unknown Senders.
* Tap Unread Messages.
* Any texts that you have not opened will appear here. If there is an older text that you haven’t read yet, you can tap on it here to mark it as read.
This trick should help you easily solve why your iPhone is showing unread messages. For more hidden iPhone tips and advice, be sure to sign up for our free Tip of the Day newsletter. However, if you did not see any unread messages after trying the above steps, there is another trick that could help you locate the mysterious unread message.
How to Use Siri to Mark iMessages as Read
If you’re still unable to locate your missing unread message, Siri can always help. Simply tell Siri, “Read my unread messages.” Siri will then read aloud any texts that you have not opened yet. This should resolve your iPhone showing unread messages when there aren’t any.
If not, try restarting or rebooting your iPhone and trying the solutions in this article again. Lastly, if all else fails, try reaching out to Apple Support or visiting an Apple Store for further assistance. Next, find out how to see unsent messages on iPhone.

* If you can't receive group texts, try resetting your network settings in your iPhone's General Settings.
Not receiving group texts on your iPhone? Or maybe you can't send group messages? Sometimes, an iOS update can be the cause. Other times, this problem crops up randomly. Here's how to fix it if you can't send or are not receiving group texts on your iPhone.

Easy Ways to Fix iPhone Group Messaging Problems
If group messages on your iPhone or iPad are not working, whether your iPhone is not getting group texts or can't send them, there are a few things that you should try before moving on to more involved troubleshooting. First, make sure to enable group messaging. Next, check for an Apple service outage. If you see a green dot next to iMessage, then the problem isn't on Apple's end.
You should also make sure iOS or iPadOS are updated on your device. If your software has already been updated, force restart your iPhone or iPad. You can also close the Messages app and reopen it to see if the problem resolves itself. There are also a few general steps to take when iMessage is not working that may help if group texting on your iPhone isn't working.
If group texting is still not working, read on for more ways to fix iPad and iPhone group messaging issues.
Check Your iPad or iPhone Storage
Your iPhone group messaging may not be working because your device doesn't have enough storage available. Check your iPad or iPhone storage and make sure you aren't about to run out. Optimize storage and clear space on your device if necessary.
Reset Network Settings
Sometimes network issues are the cause when group messaging isn't working on your iPhone. You may be able to fix group texts on your iPhone by resetting network settings. This step often gets rid of problems and glitches when nothing else will. Keep in mind that you will need to rejoin all Wi-Fi networks and re-pair all Bluetooth devices.
Delete Group Message & Restart It
If your iMessage group chat is not working still, I'm sorry to say you may need to delete the group text, then start a new group message with the same members. You can print the text messages or save them as screenshots if you want to preserve the texts.
To delete a group text on your iPhone:
* Open the Messages app.
* Swipe left across the group message you want to delete.
* Tap the Trash can icon.
Is your iPad or iPhone group text not working still? Please contact Apple Support to see if this is a known bug or glitch, and if there are any other possible ways to fix the problem. For more great Messages app tutorials, subscribe to our free Tip of the Day.
FAQ
* I keep getting a "Messages in iCloud not available" error message; how can I fix it? If you get this iCloud error message, make sure all your Apple devices are signed in with the same Apple ID. We have a few more ways to fix "Messages in iCloud not available" errors if that didn't help.
* Why is iMessage not working on my iPhone? If iMessage isn't working, check if Apple has an outage, or if you need to update iOS on your iPhone. For more troubleshooting steps, read this tutorial on how to fix iMessage.
* Can you show me how to leave a group text on my iPhone or iPad? Yes. We can show you how to leave a group text, but keep in mind this is only possible if the group message has four or more participants, and all members are using iPhones.

How to Fix Group Message Sending as Individual Texts on iPhone
* Force restarting your iPhone is the first step to take when group texts on iPhone are coming in separately.
* If group messages are sending individually after rebooting your iPhone, make sure MMS Messages is toggled on in Settings.
"Why are my group messages coming in separately on my iPhone?" is a question I get a lot. Sometimes group texts send as individual texts because not everyone in the group message is using an Apple device. We can't fix that for you, but we do have several ways iPhone users can fix it when a group message replies individually.
Easy Ways to Fix It When Group Message Replies Individually on iPhone
When an iPhone group text is not working, there are a few easy fixes to try. First, check the Apple System Status page and make sure there's a green dot by iMessage. If iMessage is working on Apple's end, update iOS. If your iPhone is already updated, force restart it. Tell all the members of the group message to update or force restart their phones, as well. If group texts are coming back as individual texts still, read on for more solutions.
Note: You can send the same message to multiple contacts separately on your iPhone if you want to.
Check Group Messaging Settings on iPhone
Group messaging settings changed with iOS 17, so if you've followed my earlier advice to make sure your iOS is up to date, you won't need to make sure Group Messaging is toggled on. If you have an older device that can't be updated to iOS 17, though, you'll need to follow slightly different steps:
* Open the Settings app.
* Tap Messages.
* For earlier than iOS 17, make sure MMS Messaging and Group Messaging are toggled on.
* For iOS 17 and later, make sure MMS Messaging is toggled on.
Remember to pass this along to the others in the group chat, so they can make sure their Messages settings are correct, too!
By now, your group messages on iPhone should be sending all together, rather than coming in separately. If not, check in with Apple Support to see if there's another fix! Be sure to check out our free Tip of the Day for more great group message tutorials!
FAQ
* How do I add a number to a group text on my iPhone? To add a number to a group text tap the group info at the top of the page, tap the number of people, tap Add Contact, and then add the additional person. Keep in mind you can only add a person to a group chat if all members are iPhone users.
* What do I do if I get an "iMessage not sent" notification? If iMessage is not working you may need to change certain settings, update iOS, and make sure MMS Messaging and Send as SMS are enabled.
* What does the iMessage waiting for activation error mean? An iMessage waiting for activation error may mean that your iPhone's date and time settings are wrong, or you need to reset Messages, FaceTime, and your Apple ID.

How to Turn Up Your Apple Watch Brightness—Two Easy Ways!
* There are two main ways to adjust the brightness of your Apple Watch screen.
* You can press the digital crown on your Apple Watch to open the Settings app, then select Display & Brightness.
* You can also adjust the Apple Watch brightness from the Watch app on a paired iPhone.
So, why is your Apple Watch face dark? If your Apple Watch display is dim, the screen brightness may be turned down in your Apple Watch settings. There's two ways you can adjust the screen brightness of your Apple Watch: through the Watch app on your paired iPhone, or you can make the change directly in your Apple Watch. Here's how to turn the brightness up on an Apple Watch using both methods.
How to Turn Brightness Up on Apple Watch
Be sure to check out our free Tip of the Day for more great Apple Watch tutorials! Now, here's how to brighten your Apple Watch screen with just a few taps:
* Press the Digital Crown on your Apple Watch.
Image courtesy of Apple
* Tap the Settings app.
* Tap Display & Brightness.
* Tap the brightness icon on the right of the brightness control bar to increase the brightness of your Apple Watch screen. You can also tap the slider, then turn the Digital Crown clockwise to turn up the brightness.
* Tap the brightness icon or turn the Digital Crown until you see all three sections of the brightness bar lit up green; this means your Apple Watch screen is as bright as it can be.
* You can also turn the Digital Crown counterclockwise or tap the brightness icon to the left of the brightness slider to dim your Apple Watch screen.
How to Turn Up Apple Watch Brightness on iPhone
Alternatively, you can turn up the brightness on your Apple Watch from your paired iPhone. Here's how to access your Watch settings from your iPhone to adjust the brightness of your Apple Watch screen:
* Open the Watch app on the iPhone paired to your Apple Watch.
* Tap the My Watch tab at the bottom of the screen, then tap Display & Brightness.
* Touch and slide the white dot in the brightness bar to the right to increase Apple Watch brightness, and to the left to decrease brightness. Sliding the dot all the way to the right will increase your Apple Watch brightness to maximum.
Now you know how to change the brightness of an Apple Watch, and you can make your Apple Watch screen brighter or dimmer whenever you need to.
FAQ
* How do I turn off the Always On display on my Apple Watch? To turn off the Always On display, press the Digital Crown, tap Settings, then Display & Brightness, and then Always On. You can tap Always On to turn the feature off or on.
* Does the Apple Watch have a flashlight? Yes! With watchOS 10 and later, Apple Watches have a flashlight, or a flashing white light that's useful for things like night walks and bike rides.
* What are things you can do with an Apple Watch? We have an article about Apple Watch tricks that include quickly silencing incoming calls, locating your lost iPhone, remotely controlling your iPhone, and much more!

Everything Apple Announced at Its ‘Let Loose’ iPad Event
iPad Air (6th Generation)
Pricing
* Starts at $599 for the 11-inch iPad Air
* Starts at $799 for the 13-inch iPad Air
Availability
* Pre-order starting May 7, arriving in stores and on doorsteps May 15th.
The 13-inch tablet used to be reserved only for Pro users, but Apple has expanded the iPad Air screen real estate, which now comes in two sizes: an 11-inch and 13-inch screen (for comparison, a 13-inch screen is the same size as most laptops.) This iPad Air has a landscape front-facing camera, a welcome change for those who often used their tablets for landscape video calls and found their camera angle was awkwardly off to the side. Both models support faster Wi-Fi and cellular connectivity than the previous iPad Air generation, and have the same advanced screen display features, like the Liquid Retina design, creating a display with high brightness, super-clear resolution, and rich color.
However, the biggest change to this tablet is that it now has the M2 Apple Silicon chip, allowing for 50% faster performance over the previous iPad Air, while using less power. Both iPad Air models have double the starting storage space the existing generation did, starting at 128GB for the same price as the previous models. For those who require more storage space, you can also upgrade to the 500GB and 1TB storage options. The new iPad Air is available in space gray, starlight, purple, and blue.
iPad Pro (7th Generation)
Pricing
* Starts at $999 for the 11-inch iPad Pro (M4)
* Starts at $1,299 for the 13-inch iPad Pro (M4)
Availability
* Pre-order starting May 7, arriving in stores and on doorsteps May 15th.
Now thinner and lighter than ever, the new iPad Pro debuted with the brand-new M4 chip (the most advanced Apple silicon chip currently available in any Apple product). The M4 chip offers faster and more powerful performance than the previous iPad Pro M2 chip, using just half the power. The difference is significant—the Neural Engine in the M4 chip is 60x faster than Apple's first Neural Engine in the A11 Bionic chip. This makes it a powerful device that can easily support more AI-enabled features and workflows requiring heavy processing. At the same time, Apple made some notable upgrades to the Pro display, which is now the most advanced screen display available in any Apple device. The Ultra Retina XDR display features new tandem OLED technology, meaning that it uses two layers of OLED screens to make the display brighter, with more brilliant colors, deeper true blacks, and more ability to capture detail in motion. The new Pro models also feature nano-texture glass, which disperses ambient light while maintaining high screen resolution. This way, you have less glare from your tablet screen while working outdoors or in well-lit environments (an upgrade I deeply appreciate, since I often struggle with glare when working outside on my tablet).
The new Pro models support faster Wi-Fi and cellular connectivity, and the quality of the camera has also been improved, with better colors, improved textures, and greater low-light detail. If you often use your iPad Pro for document scanning, you'll be intrigued by Apple's new AI feature in the Camera app: now, when you scan a document with a shadow on the page, the camera instantly takes multiple photos with the new adaptive flash and stitches the images together for a better document scan, sans the shadow. Pretty cool! The new Pro models are available in silver and space black and are offered in two sizes: an 11-inch and 13-inch screen.
Sound interesting? You can check out our deep dive into the new iPad Pro models to see if it's time for you to upgrade.
Magic Keyboard
Pricing
* $299 for the new 11-inch iPad Air (M2) and iPad Pro (M4)
* $349 for the new 13-inch iPad Air (M2) and iPad Pro (M4)
Availability
* Pre-order starting May 7, arriving in stores and on doorsteps May 15th.
Apple also offered some practical updates to its Magic Keyboard for the new iPad Pro and iPad Air: the redesigned keyboard is thinner and lighter (excellent news for iPad owners who value the portability of the tablet). It also now includes a function row allowing you to adjust settings like screen brightness right from the keyboard, so you don't have to open the Control Center or Settings app. For those who were occasionally annoyed by the slightly clunky touchpad, you'll be pleased to learn that the new touchpad on the Magic Keyboard is larger and more responsive for easier navigation, and has haptic feedback, making it similar to the touchpad on your MacBook. This new keyboard is available in both black and white color options for the 11-inch and 13-inch iPad Pro (M4) and iPad Air (M2) models.
Apple Pencil Pro
Pricing
* $129; compatible with the 11-inch and 13-inch iPad Air (M2) and iPad Pro (M4)
Availability
* Pre-order starting May 7, arriving in stores and on doorsteps May 15th.
If you're a fan of the Apple Pencil, you'll likely be pretty excited by the new Apple Pencil Pro. Apple added a new sensor in the barrel of the pencil, so that when you squeeze the pencil, you can open a tool palette to adjust settings like colors or line weights without having to navigate back and forth to a toolbar bar on a different portion of your screen. They've also added a custom haptic engine that provides feedback to help you know when you squeeze or snap to a Smart Shape, which helps your drawing and illustration process feel more intuitive. The Apple Pencil Pro will also feel more like your pen-and-paper drawing tools with the upgraded barrel roll functionality. Now, when you tilt the Apple Pencil, the orientation and line thickness will shift, just like it would while sketching on paper. They've also added Apple Pencil hover, which allows you to hold the Apple Pencil above your screen to preview the orientation and thickness of a tool before you even make a mark on your screen. (Less time spent erasing is always a good thing!) You won't even have to worry about losing this upgraded Apple Pencil Pro, since Apple has finally added Find My support to the Apple Pencil, meaning you can track the Apple Pencil Pro through the Find My app if you misplace it.
iPadOS & App Updates
With the September 2023 iPadOS 17 updates, you have new features, such as more Lock Screen customization options, interactive widgets, and AutoFill, which identifies blank fields in forms and fills them in. For more iPadOS updates, we'll have to wait for WWDC, when Apple will debut iPadOS 18. However, some new graphics, video, and audio features were debuted for the Logic Pro apps and Final Cut Pro apps for iPad in the Apple 'Let Loose' event.
Logic Pro for iPad 2: Powerful New AI-Driven Features
Pricing: $4.99/month or $49/year
Availability: New users can purchase on the App Store now; free updates for existing users will be available starting May 13.
The new-and-improved Logic Pro app leverages AI for some cool new capabilities. Apple added Session Players, which is essentially a virtual band member powered by AI. This is an expansion of the previous Drummer feature and now also includes a Bass Player and Keyboard Player. You can add these to your music, while easily customizing parameters like slides and dead notes for audio. There's also a new Stem Splitter feature that allows you to recover moments from your favorite recordings and even separate mixed audio recordings into their distinct parts (such as drum, bass, and vocal) for easier song remixing. An added Chromaglow feature helps you hit the perfect tone with different saturation styles (like nostalgic vintage warmth or modern clean sounds). Essentially, the new app is faster and allows for much greater creative control over your audio production through the expanded editing options.
Final Cut Pro for iPad 2: Multi-Angle Recording & Faster Editing
Pricing: $4.99/month or $49/year
Availability: Available for purchase now; updates for existing users will be available for free later in the spring.
Perhaps the coolest new Final Cut feature is the addition of Live Multicam, which works with the new Final Cut Camera app. With Live Multicam, you can set up multiple devices to record up to four different angles of a shot and view them as they record live from the same Final Cut Pro screen. This gives you a director's view of the shot, and you can even adjust the exposure and zoom of each video feed individually from the combined view. You don't have to be a director to think this is pretty cool—I'd love to try a setup with my iPhone and iPad to test out some cool action shots, like at a local climbing gym. If you often work on larger video-editing projects, you'll be pleased to learn that the new Final Cut Pro leverages the new iPad Pro M4 chip, allowing you to edit video files directly from an external storage device. This means you can quickly make edits without importing, and the project files won't take up space on your iPad.
Final Thoughts
The new iPad Air, starting at $599, is the obvious purchasing choice for most tablet users: it has the speed and processing power of the Apple M2 silicon chip, a high-quality screen, and fast connectivity, while still being cost-effective. However, if you frequently do detailed graphics design work, high-resolution video editing, or game-playing requiring super-fast processing power, it's worth considering the more expensive price for the new iPad Pro models. You'll likely find the display and processing power upgrades to be well worth the extra money.
As for the accessories, I'm already planning to purchase the new Apple Pencil Pro! While I found the improvements to the Magic Keyboard to be pretty incremental (I suppose it is just a keyboard, after all), the improvements to the Apple Pencil Pro make it seem much more intuitive to use and more like using a physical sketch pad and paper, while continuing to offer the no-mess convenience and cool effects you can achieve through digital mediums. Enough said!
