Discover what the Apple Support app is below and how it can help you with your iPhone woes.
What Is the Apple Support App?
Apple Support is a dedicated app that provides all the support you might need for your Apple devices. It comes built-in on iPhones and iPads. However, unlike Messages and Safari, you can delete this pre-installed app. If you removed yours, you can easily download it again for free on the App Store.
For you to be able to use the app, you need to be running iOS 14 or later.
The app lists all the devices registered to your Apple account and keeps a record of your model, warranty, and OS for each of them. This can be beneficial for people who need to check their iOS version.
The devices you own are listed at the top, under My Devices.
You’ll also see personalized content based on the devices you own to make it easier to find the support you need. The app offers a wide range of guides on how to use various features and instructions on how to troubleshoot common problems.
How to Get Help With the Apple Support App
You can use the Apple Support to help you with concerns like resetting your Apple ID password, fixing Bluetooth issues, or troubleshooting connectivity concerns. Open the Apple Support app, tap on your iPhone, and select from the listed topics.
If you find it difficult to find a helpful article for your concern, the app allows you to explain your problems in your own words. Just tap Describe Your Issue, then type your concern. It will list related articles based on keywords from your description.
If you still can’t find the article you need to help resolve your issue, you can chat or call an Apple technician. Most topics give you the option to contact Support. You should see a Message or Call option under Contact.
When you tap Call, you’ll be asked to select a schedule by which an Apple technician will contact you. If you choose Message, you’ll be redirected to Messages, where you can instantly chat with an Apple technician.
Schedule a Repair
Apple Support might ask you to go in for a repair. This is often the case if your concern is related to hardware or if your software issues persist even after following the relevant instructions.
To schedule a repair:
Select the topic that best describes your issue, then tap Find Authorized Locations. You might be asked to select your carrier from the available options. Tap Allow Location Access to turn on Location Services for the app so that it can find your location and suggest nearby service providers. Alternatively, you can type a location in the search bar. Select a provider from the list. Select a schedule and a time, then tap Reserve.
Seek Support for Your Apple Subscriptions
The Apple Support app also shows your Apple subscriptions for services like Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, and iCloud. You can find articles on common issues and concerns about the services.
You can also update your payment method for any of these services. Just tap Update Payment Method, then follow the onscreen instructions to change your preferred payment method.
Get Instant Help for Your iPhone
It’s frustrating when you can’t use your iPhone because of technical issues. Save yourself time and stress by using the Apple Support app to quickly find a helpful article or immediately connect with an Apple technician to fix it.
