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
- Communication Limits
- Always Allowed
- Content and Priavcy Restrictions
It may be helpful to…
- Give your password to someone else
- Set time limits for apps or groups of apps
- Block or allow some app/sites all the time
