New iOS a total mess


 

Both my wife's iphone and mine have been updated to iOS 18.2. Both are causing problems.
?
Question 1: Where are the mail settings? I can find nowhere to change the mail password. My wife uses BTinternet mail and we changed her password on another device. Now she wants to access her mail on the iphone and it does not work as we have trawled around all the Settings and there is nowhere we can locate the btinternet mail settings. Why? Who does this? How do we change my wife's btinternet password??
?
Question 2: Since update, my Photos are a mess. In the Library showing all recent images, and in one recent album I created there are a lot of unwanted and undeletable images. They appear to be fragments of recent web pages I browsed - not whole images but just bits. Lots of them. A real nuisance, there are so many. They do not delete (though they can be selected) and syncing via itunes with my laptop does not delete them. Nor does an attempt at deletion by direct connection to the laptop.
?
I could not be more unhappy. Question 2 is a typical software glitch of an annoying kind but question 1 is a bad feature. Mail is a basic function, and modifying it has always been easy. Why change? Why?

Although I don’t understand why you can’t delete photos on your iPhone (I can do so by pressing and holding on a photo and selecting [Delete] from the pop-up menu) you absolutely can do so by logging into your iCloud account, opening Photos, and, on a computer, right-clicking on photos to delete them. ?You are warned as you delete them that they will be deleted on all your devices.

As someone noted on one of these forums lately: ?The truth is in the Cloud. ?It’s the opposite of Las Vegas. ?What happens in the cloud happens everywhere but what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. ??

Thank you Bob. Sorry for my delay in response – Christmas and New Year coincide with several family birthdays and I have been a bit busy.

I decided years ago not to store my photos in icloud, and am turning over your suggestion in my mind. My phone has sufficient capacity to store all the images I want on it (nearly 3000, including undeletable junk). Also, I suspect your suggestion might not work as the work I have done on it looks like the software cannot find the images it is displaying. Sorry that sounds contradictory but it is as though the images are not there if you try to do anything with them.

?

Best wishes for 2025
