Top Community Feature Requests for Apple

Photos App – Export Spatial Scenes

The spatial scene feature in Photos is impressive. Adding support to save or export these scenes as videos or GIFs could significantly increase their shareability and give users a powerful new way to create standout social media posts.

Rethink Siri entirely using an offline LLM

Siri is lagging lightyears behind modern AI. Apple needs to deploy an aggressively fast, secure, local LLM that understands broad context and executes multi-step device actions flawlessly.

Customizable Control Center widgets

Let us add third-party widgets and custom shortcuts to the Control Center. The current set of toggles is too limited for power users who want quick access to specific app actions.

Calculator app for iPad

It is absurd that iPad still does not ship with a native calculator app. This has been a running joke in the tech community for over a decade. Just ship it.

Allow multiple user profiles on iPad

iPads are often shared family devices. Apple should support multiple user accounts with separate home screens, app data, and iCloud accounts, just like macOS.

Sideloading apps globally

Now that the EU has opened up iOS to sideloading alternative app stores, Apple should allow this worldwide. Users deserve to run custom applications without developer cert workarounds.

RCS support as a first-class citizen

Now that Apple added RCS, treat it properly. Show high-res media, read receipts, and typing indicators to Android contacts instead of a bare-minimum implementation.
