iPhone question

I have an iPhone 6 that doesn’t have service is there a way it can be used as a gps? Are there any apps that would work offline?

You can download Google maps for the areas you want and try that.

The TomTom gps app is good without service on android I would think iPhone would be the same

I'm sure there are apps on the app store. Just search for offline navigation/GPS and it should come up with a few. But you should know offline maps are usually much slower than if it's online.

Thanx I’ll have to try it... It can give turn by turn directions even if the phone has no service?
How does that work? How does it know your location?

I have an iPhone 8 that’s very slow
I checked to see how much memory is available and was surprised to see that 60 out of 64 GB is being used, and it says after all pictures, emails and apps I used a total of 18 GB, but “system” is using up 42GB! Does anyone have any clue why it’s using up so much space? Is that why my phone is slow? Anything to do about it?
TIA

Do you have a aftermarket filter on it?
I'm not who you think I am.

You likely have your stuffed backer up more than once. Bring it the Genius Bar they should be able to figure it out.

Is there some software that can do basic diagnostic stuff for iPhones. Screen, mic, speaker, battery health...?

Willing to pay.
