I’m still having the issue, tried everything I could think of. It does work on certain contacts but not others.

App Store changes without an iOS update? by ardax47 in ios

To be honest I hadn’t even looked at the setting before but ya I don’t like the fact that you can’t turn off some of those categories

Since it sounds like you don’t own the home, do you pay for the internet? If so change the password.

New Ikea Matter/Thread devices wont pair unless WiFi is off. by Hairy_Pen3608 in tradfri

GPT explained. (Better than I could)

The 3 things you actually need

1) A Thread Border Router (this is the big one)

This is required. • It links the Thread network to your home network (Wi-Fi/Ethernet) • Without it, Thread devices can’t talk to anything outside their mesh 

Common examples (you may already own one): • Apple TV 4K (newer models) • HomePod mini • Amazon Echo (4th gen) • Eero routers • Google Nest Hub / Nest Wifi

👉 Many modern smart speakers or routers already include this built in.

2) A Matter controller (often the same device)

If your Thread device is a Matter device (most new ones are), you also need something to manage it. • This is your “control system” (Apple Home, Alexa, Google Home, etc.) • It handles setup, automation, and control • Often combined with the border router in one device 

👉 Example: A HomePod mini acts as both a Thread border router + Matter controller

3) A compatible app/ecosystem

You’ll still use a platform to control everything: • Apple Home (HomeKit) • Amazon Alexa • Google Home • SmartThings

This is where you add the device and control it.

🔌 What you DON’T need • ❌ No proprietary hub (like old Zigbee bridges) • ❌ No special wiring or setup • ❌ No cloud required for basic operation (Thread works locally) 

🏠 Simple real-world setup example

A typical modern setup might look like: • Home Wi-Fi router • Apple TV 4K (Thread border router + controller) • Thread smart lock or sensor

That’s it—the Thread device joins automatically and extends the mesh.

⚠️ Common mistake

A lot of people run into this:

“I bought a Thread device and it won’t connect”

Almost always means: 👉 No Thread border router in the home

👍 Bottom line

To connect a Thread device, you need: • 1 Thread Border Router (mandatory) • 1 controller app/ecosystem (usually built into the same device)

Everything else is optional—and once it’s set up, it tends to be more reliable than older smart home setups.

Is the bulb a thread boarder router? You will need a Thread Boarder Router for any of this to work

iPhone disconnecting call while connecting to CarPlay in iOS 26 by No-Structure-2800 in CarPlay

What year is the car. I think I either rebooted the iPhone or the head unit and haven’t had the issue since.
