Mail app uses wrong name
I had a post in the forums explaining this problem and its solution but someone more concerned with which version of the software was used than whether the post addressed a problem removed it. So I'm posting it here again so the next time someone has this problem they can find it (hopefully). If Apple took its UX development as seriously as they do their curation of forums posts this would be a non-issue. Original post: No matter what I do, the Mail app continues to send the wrong name when I reply to an email. This is incredibly frustrating and I'm hoping someone can suggest something I haven't already tried. What I've tried so far: Contacts I've edited my contact card to not have the wrong name anywhere. Notably, searching for the wrong name still brings up my contact card. Even though it doesn't show in any fields. Mail settings I've gone into Settings->Mail->Accounts and ensured the Name field has only the correct name. iCloud settings I've gone to icloud.com, opened the Mail app, and clicked the gear icon to bring up settings. The right name is listed there. I'm pulling my hair out trying to find where this name is hidden. I would rather it not add any name to my email From line if it can't use the correct one. Solution: in Settings->Mail app->Accounts, make sure you actually enter your name in the fields. If your contact name is there but it's grey, indicating it was the default, this may not be used. Note: I'm putting this under Accessibility and Inclusion because making it difficult or hidden to change your name on email could end up deadnaming someone. Which is not cool. It's bad enough y'all make given name and surname required fields when not everyone in the world uses a surname.

imessage video
Hi! as a sign language user, I send videos often because it is often the prefered way of communication with Deaf people, especially with international persons in my network. And .... I want to ask is there a way to send longer videos rather than putting in time to cut the videos according to the time limit and then send a series of videos. Wish we could send messages up to 10 minutes. Or can you tell me that there's another method that I may be missing or an APP that you would recommend for my iphone. Thank you

Sheets and VoiceOver
Hello, I am trying to add an accessibility label and hint to a SwiftUI sheet's drag indicator but am not having any luck. Currently, VO reads 'sheet grabber, button, double tap to expand the sheet'. I'd really like VO to also include the current height of the sheet (similar to Apple Maps sheet). Does anyone by chance know how I can target the drag indicator/sheet grabber to do this? Thanks in advance.

ABM Connect Account
I have done federated authentication with MS Entra through ABM. It has not been 60 days since then, but I cannot log in with my existing domain account (personal account). I understand that I can log in with my existing domain account even though the "Apple ID update" notification appears for 60 days. (Automatic domain change after 60 days) We are currently forcing an update. How can I 1) log in with my existing domain account or 2) bring forward the "automatic domain change"?

AccessibilityUIServer
I apologize for any possible mistakes, English is not my native language. When I activated the Voice Commands(AccessibilityUIServer) function, I realized that this was not what I needed and decided to log out. However, I noticed that the function constantly uses the microphone and does not allow you to turn down the volume. I tried to turn it off, but I couldn't find the appropriate switch. To solve this problem, I added a command to turn off the function. After that, the switch appeared. Please add the option to disable the "Voice Commands" function.

Bug with my apple developer program
when I log into my developer account (AGV GROUP) developer.apple.com, under my apple id, which successfully opens a connect account, I don’t see my organization - AGV GROUP in the right top menu in the list, I see only those in which I have membership and other organizations - SANZHIRA, the question is where did my account go? and how to restore access to it? in the screenshots I showed that my account is visible in connect and feedback, but it is not visible in developer.apple.com, therefore I cannot renew my subscription developer program and manage even certificates and keys.
