What is the orange dot on the iPhone email?
This indicates the message is unread. The dot is orange because of the theme you have chosen; it would be a different color with a different theme. To get rid of the dot you need to choose "unflag". If you flag and mark for unread, then the button turns into an orange ring with a blue center. I hope this helps!
My iPhone's Facebook app icon and a few other app icons have turned dark and show 'waiting.' These apps are also not opening. What is a solution?
I just fixed mine in 2 mins. It is about updates. Here is 3 steps I did. I have an iphone 5 and iOS 7.1.1 (check @ settings/general/about). 1. check which app icon(s) turned in grey. ( It is not really critical tho. For example: my greyed app icons are google drive/One drive/Uber/ skype/ twitter/ google chrome/ electric company (kid's app)).2. Go "App Store App" and click on "updates" find any one of your greyed icon App. ( I found none of my greyed-icon Apps are shown at the first pop out screen which listed Available Updates icons. So, I clicked the "PURCHASED" and found more App icons including those greyed-icons. At those right side, those Apps all have a cloud sign with a point-down arrow. )3. Click on the cloud sign at the right side and download it. Once downloaded, the cloud sign will turn to be a rectangle sign "OPEN", done! (message shown : "The current version requires iOS.8.0,but you can download the last compatible version.")Note: The back-to-normal icons will show up individually. Not sorted in the category group box before updated. Just need an extra step to drag it around as desired.Hope it helps! Sometimes professional techies think too much......

Should I get the iPhone 8 or iPhone X?
Both phones are great!For 2 phones released at the same time with the same internal specs (CPU, GPU…), you might find that a 300$ difference is too big to justify going towards the model X. However, if price does not stop you, I will compare the major differences. This will help you decide if the top of the toppest tier model is worth it or not.Before we begin: I am biased!I bought the iPhone X and knew I wanted to buy the iPhone X the moment it was officially revealed! That’s because of all the differences it has with the iPhone 8 and it’s predecessors. I was holding out for an upgrade of my iPhone 5s to get an iPhone like this! :-)Both phones are about the same size. The X is slightly larger/taller, but it feels about the same as an iPhone 8 in the hands. However, the iPhone X’s screen measures 5.8 inch compared to the iPhone 8. That’s because of the one obvious huge difference: The iPhone X is the first almost full screen iPhone!The display is also OLED and has a higher resolution making the colors vibrant and crisp.Another major difference is Face ID. With a bezel-reduced phone, there was no more space for a Touch ID sensor. So Apple created Face ID! It comes with an array of sensors in the top notch of the display to unlock your device precisely simply by looking at it!Removing the home button comes with new gestures at the bottom of the display like swiping from left to right to change apps. That’s great for multitasking!Both the back and front cameras are also an upgrade compared to the iPhone 8. The back camera is dual lens compared to a single lens on the 8. Putting it simply, the iPhone X camera is superior and will take nicer pictures/videos. Because of Face ID, the front camera is also a big upgrade because of all the sensors packed for Face ID. It is true depth which is the technology that enables us to have fun animojis! :-) The picture quality will also be enhanced.All things considered, the iPhone X is the superior phone in terms of innovation and new features. The iPhone 8 is still a very good phone and it costs less. In the end, it’s up to you to decide what features you want in your phone! :-)
What does a crescent moon symbol next to the time on an iPhone mean?
The crescent symbol means that 'Do not disturb' mode is turned on. This means that the ring tone and text tone will not sound if you get a call or text. It may apply to other notifications as well. Banners will appear as per their usual settings.I use 'Do not disturb' if I am in a meeting, at an appointment or otherwise unavailable. Some people might use it when they are in bed (hence a 'night time' symbol like the Moon)and don't want to be disturbed. Some might use it for a work phone when they are off duty.Check Settings → Do not disturb for more info. You can adjust settings to exempt certain numbers or to allow repeat calls (from the same number) to sound. You can also set it from the 'swipe up' screen. Google 'iPhone swipe' if you you aren't familiar with it.Missed calls and texts will still be received. They will appear in recent calls and texts so that you can attend to them at a more convenient time.I have found that it is possible to accidentally turn on 'Do not disturb' from the swipe screen. You might bring up the swipe screen unintentionally while scrolling and inadvertently touch to 'do not disturb' icon (crescent Moon) when trying to get rid of it. If you don't recall setting 'Do not disturb' this might have happened to you. I've done it once or twice. Just swipe up and turn it off again or turn it off via settings. Then attend to any missed calls.
What is the difference between the blue and green messages on the iPhone in iOS 7
Blue is free, Green costs money.Blue is abundant, Green is limited.Green is the old SMS. Blue is the iMessage delivered by Apple systems. With iMessage you can simply send text, voice, voice files, pokes, smileys, video files, photos, doc files, xls files, contact data, locations, … to your friends or group of friends. All encrypted from your machine till the other end machine.We have a “family channel” where we share videos, docs, photos, texts, all “blue”, several times a day. Having three grandssons, living in different countries, knowing this much about them is simply amazing.Green uses the old SMS environment, it needs the phone connected to the mobile phone network. Blue can use Wifi or the the old mobile phone network, and will decide which channel is better for you.If you have iMessage set up, the app will try to send it “blue”, and if it does not go well, it will resend a downgraded text message “green”, after some minutes. (cannot send videos, documents on SMS, and please do not use MMS any more.).Blue needs an internet connection (WiFi or internet on the old mobile phone network), Green does not need or use WiFi. At both ends!Green will be delivered to other makes of phones. Blue will be delivered in its original form to and from Apple phones, to and from iPads with or without a phone card, and will be downgraded to the old SMS format for other phones.What is great, you do not need to care. All this above is super simple, is super automatic. Just set up iMessage.These are some sentences which will help you. Even if these are not always true or exact.
Why do messages on Facebook Messenger sometimes change from "seen" to "delivered"?
Paul Olaru is correct. I am not sure what version of Messenger you're using, but "Seen" means the person opened their chat or Messenger to the conversation. My version of Messenger doesn't have "Delivered" as a status message, but it says "sent" if the message has not yet been opened by the recipient (Apple's iMessages shows "delivered" if the message was sent but not opened, and "read" if it was opened). In Messenger specifically a "seen" message may have a little circle with a miniature of the recipient's profile picture next to the message to indicate that she's opened it; a "sent" but not opened message has a check-mark next to it.Edit: Combined three answers on merged questions. This question is very merge-worthy; I rarely go more than a couple days without a new A-to-A on the exact same question. I won't be answering it in the future, nor any similar question, because there's not much to add. Hopefully one of these answers will be helpful.Originally Answered: I sent someone a private message on Facebook, and their profile picture icon showed up, indicating that they read it. When I look at the icon next to our last two conversations, it is a white circle with a blue checkmark. Does that indicate that they marked it as unread or deleted the message?It usually means they haven't looked at the latest message in the conversation, whatever that may be. You got the "seen" icon for any messages that were there the last time they went into the conversation, but if you have sent a new one since then they might not have "seen" it.I've seen numerous questions on Quora asking about the following: If you had a "seen" icon and it changed back to a blue circle without you sending any more messages in between? That I think must be a database glitch—I have attempted several times to recreate such a situation with my computer, phone, and a dummy FB account that I mostly use for testing, and I wasn't able to recreate a situation like that when I experimented with it just now. I've never seen it in the "wild", either. And as of today, 20 September 2015, FB aren't marking messages "Delivered" on the desktop chat window either.Whether the other person deletes or marks unread a conversation affects only the way it shows up on their device, not yours.
