Chris: Settings to adjust for iOS Significant locations:

  • Keeps track of specific locations you frequent that may help maps, calendar, photos, and more (and Apple can’t read it)
  • Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services > Significant Locations
  • At the bottom you can clear your significant locations
  • At the top you can turn off significant locations

Speech Enhancement

  • Lets your phone read text on your screen.
  • General > Accessibility > Speech
  • Select any text and press the “Speak Text” button OR…
  • Turn on “Speak screen” if you want to swipe down with two fingers from the top of the screen to hear the content of the screen
  • Click “Voices” to download a better quality voice (Alex is the best)

Pronouncitations

  • You can tell Siri how to pronounce words (Say, “Hey Siri, Learn to pronounce ‘Sample Name’”)
  • Or you can go into the speech settings above (General > Accessibility > Speech), scroll down to Pronunciations, and add phrases individually

Scott: Screen time You have several options:

  • Downtime
  • App Limits
