Brett’s Favorite Tip from ABA TECHSHOW: Easy-Peasy Print to PDF from any Print Preview on the iPhone / iPad. Any time you see a Print Preview, you can spread your finger and thumb on the image and it will immediately convert into a PDF file that can be emailed or uploaded to Dropbox.
Jeff’s Favorite Tip from ABA TECHSHOW: Better zoom. When you want to zoom, instead of doing a reverse-pinch with both fingers, hold one finger down on the page (the thumb works well) and then just move the other finger back and forth to zoom in and out (the pointer works well).

Brett’s Favorite iOS 18 iTip (so far!): Currency Converter in iPhone Calculator
Jeff’s iOS 18 iTip (so far!): In the Settings app, the “Privacy & Security” section has gotten a substantial overhaul that makes it easier to manage. Now each separate section (Location Services, Calendars, Contacts, etc.) has a little subheading that tells you how many apps have access to that particular section. The same goes for hardware features like Bluetooth, Camera, and the Microphone. It makes it far easier to audit a specific set of permissions and make sure that only the apps you explicitly want to give permission to have it.

Including age, ID #, eye color, expiration date, class, restrictions, and whether it’s Real ID compliant or not.

Brett’s Apple Watch Tip: Absolutely enjoy using the wake-up alarms on my Apple Watch, but of course there are some days when I don’t want the schedule to go off so I can easily “skip” the alarm for one day.
Skip a wake-up alarm
Update Next Wake-up Only
Jeff’s iTip: Make those paste alerts go away. If an app keeps asking you whether you want to allow something to be pasted into the app every single time, you can often can set the app to always allow. But you have to do it through iPhone settings, not the pop up. Go to settings, then find the app you want to always allow paste to, and select to allow for pasting from other apps. (Works with the Parcel app!)

2. TV that supports 4K HDR. HDR part is essential; even my Apple Studio Display 5K is not good enough.
3. The YouTube app for Apple TV (free)
4. Visit a 4K (or higher) HDR channel on YouTube, such as 8K Vision

Brett’s iTip: Be aware of “Offload Unused Apps” which was introduced in iOS 11 to conserve space on your iPhone by “off-loadnig” apps you haven’t used in a while. All your documents and data are saved, but the app is “off-loaded” until you tap it to re-download it. You can toggle off this feature by going to Settings - App Store - and toggling off “Offload Unused Apps.”
Jeff’s iTip: Don’t Fear the Shortcuts App! You can visit Apple’s Shortcuts User Guide to find out more about this powerful option built into your iPhone and iPad, including many free Shortcuts that you can enable from Apple.

Jeff’s iTip: Use Remind Me to come back to emails later by tapping the “Reply” arrow and then “Remind Me” where you can have the Mail app remind you about the message in “1 Hour,” or “Tonight” or “Tomorrow” or a custom date & time.

That looks pretty, but sometimes you just want the plain text link. Tap the preview once and then an arrow will appear to the right of it near the top. Click that arrow and tap Convert to Plain Link. Especially important as more folks learn about the dangers of clicking on links in emails that could be phishing attempts.

And this works in conjunction with the Health App on your iPhone where you set up your Sleep Schedule.
Jeff’s iTip: A few tips on how to organize your home screens. You can hide and show Home Screen Pages. You can also move multiple apps at the same time and use both hands to independently move between screens. One trick to create a “blank” screen on your iPad you can use the Widgetsmith app.

Brett’s iTip: When I search for a restaurant in either Google Maps or Apple Maps, I usually select “Sort by Distance” so I can see what’s closest (default is “sort by relevance”). Wish I could set this as default, but haven’t found that setting. Also in Google Maps, I use the “Measure Distance” tool that lets me drop multiple points to get an accurate measurement of the total distance from point to point.
Jeff’s iTip: Words to the Wise: Displaying Siri text on the Apple Watch. In the Apple Watch app on your iPhone, go to Siri - Siri Responses. Or on the Apple Watch: Settings app - Siri - Siri Responses. You can “Always Show Siri Captions” ON / OFF (Show what Siri says on the screen) or “Always Show Speech” ON / OFF (Show a transcription of your speech on screen).

Brett’s iTip: Control how Siri announces text messages by going to Settings - Notifications - Announce Notifications and un-toggle the announcement for specific apps. But I also add “Announce Notifications” in the Control Center so I can temporarily mute them.
Jeff’s iTip: For apps where you can send a reply, like the Messages app , Siri repeats what you said, then asks for confirmation before sending your reply.

Brett’s iTip: Temporarily Disable FaceID on iPad. I know an easy tip for making my iPhone temporarily disable FaceID and require a passcode is either quickly click the side button 5 times or click and hold the side button + volume button (either one) for 2 seconds. That second method also works on the iPad.
Jeff’s iTip: Perform a Safety Check on your iPhone (this is a new iOS 16 feature). Go to Settings - Privacy & Security - Safety Check. Then you can determine who can access your Find My, and which apps can access Location, Bluetooth, Microphone, etc. There’s also a handy “Quick Exit” button in the upper right.

Brett’s iTip: Use the Flashlight on Your Apple Watch - Swipe up to the Control Center and tap the flashlight button. The watch face will light up with a white light - it’s kind of bright, but when you turn the watch face to yourself it will dim a bit. Gives off plenty of light to see around your surroundings. You can swipe to the left for a flashing white light (good for runs or bike rides at night) and swipe again for a red light.
Jeff’s iTip: On the mend? For me, cast on the leg, but could be any illness or COVID quarantine. Use an Apple Watch. It’s always with you so you can text or call someone within your house from your Apple Watch; you can control lights if you have a smart home; manage medications; set alarms; and even use the Mindfulness app to stop and breathe.

Even if the iPhone’s time keeps updated, you can choose to have your Calendar stay on a specific time zone by going to Settings - Calendar and toggle on Time Zone Override. I personally leave this off so that my calendar updates to the local time zone, but some folks may want to force their Calendar to stay in a specific time zone.

Brett’s iTip: Turn on “Optimize iPhone Storage” so full-resolution photos and videos are then transferred up to iCloud, while smaller, lower-resolution versions are kept on your device which take up less space. Go to Settings - iCloud (your picture) - iCloud - Photos and make sure “iCloud Photos” is toggled on and then make sure “Optimize iPhone Storage” is selected. If you want to access your higher-resolution photos and videos, you can go into the Photos app and download any file that's being optimized, but this requires a decent internet connection. Your more recently taken photos and videos may exist in full-resolution, so you won't need to download every photo or video.

Brett’s iTip: The iPhone actually has two different volume controls that can be confusing, especially when you don’t want to miss your alarm! There’s the media volume which controls sound from apps, games, videos, music, and phone calls. There’s the ringer & alert volume which controls sounds for your ringer, notifications, system alerts, and alarms. By default, the media volume is controlled by the side buttons. And by default, the ringer & alert volume is controlled by going to Settings - Sounds & Haptics and changing the slider under “Ringer and Alert Volume.” But this gets confusing because under that slider there is a “Change with Buttons” toggle. If that’s turned on (and probably is) then the side buttons will change both volumes.
Jeff’s iTip: Here’s a trick for faster scrolling on the iPhone or iPad. Start to scroll a list like normal and you will see the scroll bar appear on the right. Tap and hold the scroll bar until you feel the haptic feedback on the iPhone. On the iPad, you just have to hope that you have held it long enough. Move that finger pressing the scroll bar up and down to scroll much more quickly

Brett’s iTip: Apple’s True Tone technology adjusts the white colors on your screen to keep your eyes from getting tired, and Night Shift makes your screen more orange and warmer towards the evening before your bedtime. This is probably turned on by default, but go to Settings - Display & Brightness - Night Shift if you’d like to change your Night Shift schedule. You can also adjust the color temperature of Night Shift from “less warm” to “more warm.”
Jeff’s iTip: You can see and control your Apple Watch directly from your iPhone by going to Settings - Accessibility - Apple Watch Mirroring.

Brett’s iTip: If you enjoy a podcast (like ours … thank you!) then consider sharing the podcast-love with someone else. Overcast has 3 excellent ways to share:
1. You can simply share a link to the podcast that opens in a web browser.
2. You can share a link to the “current time” of the podcast at which you want someone to listen.
3. You can also share a clip of a podcast so you can send just the part you want someone to hear. The Overcast app has this nice interface where you can listen to the audio and set an start and end time on a clip, and then it generates an audio clip or “video” .mov file that can be sent via text message, email, or shared in social channels.
Jeff’s iTip: If you pay for the Overcast podcast app ($10/year), you can use the Overcast.fm website to upload an audio file, or provide the URL for an online audio file. The website will convert the audio and automatically download it to the Overcast app on your iPhone, where you can listen to it just like any podcast. This means: easy 15 seconds forward / backward controls, Voice Boost to improve sound, Smart Speed to shorten silences, speed up playback, easily scrub through the recording, etc.

Brett’s iTip: I’m at a conference where there are lots of QR codes that people want me to scan. In recent versions of iOS you can simply open the Camera app, make sure you’re in “Photo” mode and point it at the QR code. You should see a yellow link button appear that you can tap to visit the link. You can also tap the little “code scanner button” in the bottom right corner. There’s also a dedicated “Code Scanner” that you can add to your Control Center. Go to Settings - Control Center - and add “Code Scanner.” Now you can launch that from Control Center and it will give you 4 corners in which to place the QR code (along with a flashlight if you need it). Be warned that when you hover over the QR code it will immediately open the link in Safari or your your email app.

Brett’s iTip: You can temporarily mute notifications from the Lock Screen by slowly swiping to left and tapping “Options.” You can mute the selected notifications for 1 hour or the whole day.
Jeff’s iTip: In iOS 16, you can display a random image from your photo library on your lock screen. The iPhone picks 16 images to rotate, so I recommend that you select to have the image change every hour or daily instead of on lock or on tap; those last two options make it too easy to quickly shuffle between the 16 images.
But what if a picture comes up that I haven’t seen in a long time and I want to see that image in my photo library? In iOS 16.3, hold a finger down on your lock screen and tap Customize at the bottom. Tap Lock Screen (on the left). Tap on the image to cycle between the 16 currently in rotation until you find the picture that you want. Tap the circle with three dots at the bottom right. Tap Show Photo in Library.

Brett’s iTip: Installing Fonts on your iPhone & iPad. I typically only need a custom font when I’m creating a presentation on my iPad and in the past, it was quite a pain to go through and create a “Profile” to install a font. You can still do this, but in iOS 13, Apple provided a much easier way to use fonts on your iPhone and iPad through the Settings app. One of the easiest ways to get some custom fonts is through a free app called Font Diner which will provide you with a free set of 20 fonts. You install the app, tap the free fonts, and now you can go to Settings - General - Fonts and turn them off or on. And now these fonts should be available in apps like Microsoft Word, Keynote, Pages, etc. You can NOT use these to change the system font like names of apps, etc. Here’s some additional information about installing fonts: https://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/best-font-apps-for-iphone-and-ipad/

Justin Meyers | Gadget Hacks: The Little-Known iPad Feature You'll Never Stop Using Once You Know About It
Brett’s iTip: If you need to include an image in your email signature on your iPhone or iPad, the built-in signature tool doesn’t let you do that. The easiest workaround is to create the signature in another app like Notes, Drafts, or TextExpander complete with the image, and then copy & paste that signature into your email message.
Jeff’s iTip: When a HomePod or HomePod mini is in a stereo pair, only one speaker talks to you, the left one. But it isn’t always easy to tell which one is designated as Left, and that might not be the one that you want to speak Siri’s responses. To change which one that is, tap and hold the top of the HomePod that you select to make the HomePod listen for a command and then say “Turn on Siri.”

Brett’s iTip: We’ve talked about using the built-in “Text Replacement” setting on iPhones and iPad before, but if you have a word or phrase that you regularly type, and get frustrated with it being corrected all the time, then simply create a “Text Replacement” entry and type in that word or phrase in the “Phrase” field at top, but leave the “Shortcut” field BLANK. The next time you type that word it will not auto-correct. You can get to the Text Replacement section by going to Settings - General - Keyboard. Or wherever you’re typing tap and hold on the globe icon and then tap “Keyboard Settings” from there.
Jeff’s iTip: You can play background soundscapes when you need to focus, relax, or fall asleep. Listen to rain, forest, ocean, white noise, night, fireplace, or stream sounds.Say, for example, “Hey Siri, play Ambient Sounds” or “Hey Siri, play forest sounds.” This also works on iPhones. And when iOS 16.3 gets released we’ve been promised “Remastered ambient sounds are more immersive and can now be added to scenes, automations, and alarms in the Home app.”

Brett’s Site: 1Password’s Switch Page. If you are considering switching your password manager to 1Password then visit 1Password Switch Page and if you sign up, they will pay the remainder of your invoice with the current password manager.
Jeff’s iTip: A few months ago I explained the changes in the interface for 1Password 8 on iPhone J.D. and here are some tips:
- Customize Order of items on Home Screen. I recommend Pinned Field followed by Favorites followed by Recently Created. Then Frequently Used, Recently Used, Recently Modified.
- Pin specific fields. The specific items you tend to look up the most. Hold down on an entry -> Pin to Home.
- Manage favorites. While looking at entry, tap the circle with three dots at the top right, then tap Add to Favorites.

Brett’s iTip: Automatically share your Hotspot with Family. During our travels, the family still needed to connect to the Internet for work, school, and play so we’ve made good use of our wi-fi hotspots on our iPhones. I have an unlimited data plan from AT&T and sometimes need to let the kids connect to my hotspot. Since I’ve already turned on Family Sharing in my iCloud account, I can easily share my hotspot with them either “Automatically” or have them “Ask for Approval” first. Either way, they do not have to enter a password to connect.

Brett’s Gadget/App: I always thought the Ember Mug2 was something that was too much of a splurge but my wonderful daughter got it for me as a Christmas present - I guess she was tired of hearing Dad complain about cold coffee. Battery life isn’t terrific, but I’ll take that over all the fantastic-ness of having hot coffee as LONG AS I WANT!! Plus I can always use the charging coaster. The App lets me regulate the temperature and it even connects with the Apple Health app to track caffeine intake!
Jeff’s iTip: Accessing your HomeKit devices when you are away from home and take an Apple TV with you. In order to designate a HomeKit hub, go to Home (app) -> tap icon at top right (circle with three dots) -> tap Home Settings -> Scroll down to and tap Home Hubs & Bridges -> ensure that at least one hub device is identified as Connected. The rest will say “Standby.” If nothing is identified as Connected, restart the Apple TV or other device. A HomeKit hub can be an Apple TV, HomePod, HomePod mini, or even an iPad that you leave home and plugged in.

Brett’s iTip: Stop Multiple Message Alerts (or add more alerts). By default the iPhone will send you TWO alerts for an incoming message - an initial one and then another two minutes later if you don’t see the first alert or open the message. If you don't want this, go to Settings - Notifications - Messages, then scroll down to “Customize Notifications” and “Repeat Alerts.” You’ll see by default the alert is set to repeat “Once” but you can up the repeats or set it to “Never” repeat.
Jeff’s iTip: Share photos and videos with an iCloud Link on iCloud.com. You must be using iCloud Photo Library then go to Share and tap “Options” to select between Automatic, Individual Photo / Video, or iCloud Link. You can also choose to share Location and other data with the image. This is a great way to avoid avoid multi-MB attachments and an easy way to share full picture info. The share expires after 30 days or you can stop sharing sooner if you choose.

Brett’s iTip: Controlling Background App Refresh. It is disputed whether this will really be necessary, or save battery power, but I jumped into the setting to control “Background App Refresh” on my iPhone. When you switch out of an app, it goes into a suspended state which means if you jump BACK to that app it will need to refresh … unless you turn on Background App Refresh which means the app will check for new updates and content and be ready to go. This may “potentially” use more battery but you can control this by going to Settings - General - Background App Refresh and turn it completely off, or only toggle on certain apps. Wish they had a way to turn ALL off and then let me toggle on ONLY the ones I want.
Jeff’s iTip: AirDrop Settings. You can also set your AirDrop options in Control Center:
1) Swipe down from the upper-right corner of the screen to open Control Center. Or on your iPhone 8 or earlier, swipe up from the bottom of the screen.
2) Press firmly or touch and hold the network settings card in the upper-left corner.
3) Touch and hold the AirDrop button
If the person you're sharing content with is in your Contacts, you'll see an image with their name. If they're not in your Contacts, you'll see just their name without an image
There are three settings you can choose from: Receiving Off, Contacts Only, and Everyone.

Nick deCourville | The Mac Observer: Apple Makes iCloud.com Redesign Available to All Users, Includes New Tile Feature
Brett’s iTip: Previously the Apple Watch had a “Power Reserve” mode but with watchOS 9, there is now an official “Low Power Mode” which does a whole lot of things to lessen the strain on the battery including less pings to cellular, etc. The Apple Watch Ultra also lets me go to the Workout settings and turn on "Low Power Mode Workout with Fewer GPS and Heart Rate Readings" which I had to confirm each time I started a workout, but it GREATLY extended the battery life on the watch!
Jeff’s iTip: Consider Turning Off 5G on your iPhone - you can toggle 5G on or off in the Settings app by going to Settings - Cellular - Cellular Data Options and selecting whether you want to use 5G or just LTE. Test having it on versus having it off. If it isn’t helping, it may be draining your battery unnecessarily.

Brett’s Gadget: Anker 737 Charger (GaN Prime 120W - Amazon Affiliate Link). After doing more travel and wanting to consolidate the number of charging bricks that I had to take with me, I finally invested in a GaN charger that has been wonderful. The only downside is the process I had to go through to learn about all the wattage requirements, my specific USB needs, and all the port configurations for charging. But I finally landed on the Anker 737 Charger and have been quite happy.
Jeff’s iTip: I was excited to upgrade my Mac to the Ventura operating system so that I could finally use the Continuity Camera feature which let me use my iPhone as a webcam for Mac. I’ve propped up my iPhone behind my Mac and pointed the camera at me, and the difference has been absolutely tremendous in using my iPhone camera.

Brett’s iTip: Managing Stage Manager … so far. I’m starting to like it, but still working through all the different options and confusion. I like using Command + Tab to switch between apps … and that works if the apps are open in the same “Stage.” But if it’s another “Stage” then it will switch to that Stage. I also can’t see apps “behind” apps in a Stage unless I re-size them. The 4-finger swipe gesture still works, and a new 1-finger at bottom of the screen gesture is there, but that seems to only switch between “Stages.”
Jeff’s iTip: Customize the Mail Toolbar on the iPad. In iPadOS 16.1, you have control over the icons that appear at the top of the screen in the Mail app. Tap the circle with three dots at the far right, select Customize Toolbar, and then move icons around and drag additional icons on or off. I immediately added the mark as read / unread icons up there. More recently, I added the Later button (to remind you of the email in an hour, tonight, tomorrow, or some other time) and I like it a lot. You can also add Flag, Junk, and Mute.

Brett’s iTip: Finally set up cellular on my Apple Watch Ultra. My Apple Watch gets a separate phone number but that’s just for billing purposes. The Apple Watch actually “shares” the same phone number as your iPhone. Each carrier calls this something different, but on AT&T it’s called “NumberSync” (Verizon calls it “Number Share”).
Jeff’s iTip: You can set a favorite timer on your Apple Watch for quick access.

I really like the new Search box but many people seem to NOT like it - fortunately you can turn it off by going to Settings - Home Screen. If you do keep it, it’s easy to tap on it to access the search function, and you can also tap and hold to quickly get into jiggly mode so you can move your apps around or delete them.
Jeff’s iTip: Turn on Wi-Fi Calling–or Turn it Back On … It’s possible when you upgraded to a new phone or upgraded your current phone to iOS 16 that Wi-Fi calling might have turned off. If this is something you use, go to Settings - Phone - Wi-Fi Calling and make sure it’s on (you might have to verify your home address for emergency call purposes).

Jeff’s Favorite iOS 16 Tip (so far): The Photo Shuffle option in Lock Screen Wallpaper - you can customize the photos that shuffle through on your Lock Screen and the shuffle frequency. Looks like you’re only limited to 16 photos and unfortunately the Depth Effect won’t work on them :(

Brett’s iTip: Been doing a lot of traveling, which means I’ve been using my AirPods Pro a LOT during flights, working in coffee shops, and many, many phone calls and Zoom calls … to the point where I get nervous my AirPods are going to run out of battery. You can check the battery charge status by opening the AirPods case next to your iPhone, but I don’t like waiting a few seconds for the status to pop up. I prefer to add the large battery widget to my Today screen so I can quickly swipe to the right and see the battery status of my iPhone, Apple Watch, and my AirPods Pro … but only if they’re open and connected to my iPhone, or in my ears.
Jeff’s Apple Watch Band Problem: While I have a number of Apple Watch bands in my personal collection, my absolute favorites are the Milanese Loop and the Solo Loop (my review here: https://www.iphonejd.com/iphone_jd/2021/01/review-solo-loop-band-apple-watch.html).

Brett’s iTip: I didn’t realize how much I would be checking the weather when I’m on vacation, but I’ve visited the default Apple Weather App a lot. Apple acquired the Dark Sky weather app in March 2020 (and they are sunsetting it by the end of 2022) and I’ve been perfectly happy with the Weather App in iOS 15. Pretty much everything in the Weather App is obvious and intuitive, but one thing I didn’t know you could do is enter the map, move around / zoom, and then tap and hold on a location to get info about that specific location!
Jeff’s iTip: Manage email notifications on the iPhone using VIPs. First, you need to identify people as a VIP so go to the Mail App and tap at the top left to go to Mailboxes. Tap Edit at top right and enable VIP. Tap on the info button to see who is currently a VIP or add someone new. Next, to set notifications go to the Settings app, select Notifications, then Mail, then Customize Notifications. Decide how you want to be notified of new emails on your accounts – either badges or alerts or both. I select badges. Then decide how you want to be notified of new emails from a VIP. I have Alerts turned on, with sound set to vibrate only.

Brett’s iTip: I finally went swimming with my Apple Watch ON! So I’m sharing a couple of tips on the “Water Lock” feature of the Apple Watch (make sure it’s Series 2 or higher!!). You can manually turn on Water Lock from the Apple Watch Control Center or frankly the easiest way for me was to start a swimming workout and that automatically puts the Apple Watch in Water Lock mode.
While in Water Lock mode, you can’t tap the screen (something about the water interferes with this) but pressing and holding the side button will still dial emergency services where possible. And you can pause your swimming workout by pressing the Digital Crown and Side Button at the same time - and this is a good way to dry off first before you unlock the Apple Watch. To get out of Water Lock, do the oh-so-fun twisting of the Digital Crown to have the Apple Watch expel excess water with sounds and vibrations!
Jeff’s iTip: There is a “hidden” battery graph in the Apple Watch Battery Settings that allows you to see charging details. You must be running at least watchOS7 and just simply visit the Battery page in Settings.
The graph here is similar to the one that you can see on your iPhone

Brett’s iTip: Control access to information on the iPhone Lock Screen. Let’s say you regularly set your phone down on a table or desk where other folks can see it, which means they can see any notifications or messages that appear on there too. But you can disable some things from being accessible or viewable from the Lock Screen by going to Settings - FaceID & Passcode, and scrolling down to “Allow Access when Locked.” I turn off access to Control Center when locked, but usually leave on the Notification Center. The only thing you can’t do is turn off access to the Camera - that will always be available from the Lock Screen by swiping to the left.

Brett’s iTip: Setting up a Simple “Focus.” I finally set up a Focus mode on my iPhone and Apple Watch for when I’m running outside. When I run, I like to have music playing a certain BPM and while I don’t have a lot of notifications it seems like they all pop up when I’m running and interrupt my music. I finally went into Settings and created a simple Focus that turns off all notifications EXCEPT any that come from my wife, my kids, or my mother, and any notifications from 3 specific apps. Everything else can wait! And I usually turn on this Focus by swiping up on my Apple Watch which engages on my iPhone as well (make sure you have “Share Across Devices” turned on in the Settings).

Michael Potuck: iPhone allegedly stops bullet, saving Ukrainian soldier’s life
Brett’s App: AllTrails app - Free! Or $29.99/year for Pro
Recently got on a kick to do some more hiking and walking outside, and so pulled up the AllTrails app I had downloaded a few years ago. Great way to find nice trails for walking, hiking, biking, dog-friendly paths, etc. Plus the best part is all the reviews that people post giving you helpful advice about each trail. You get basic info about the trail like length, what’s allowed, and how long it should take to walk it, along with easy/moderate/hard labels. Plus you get a full map of the trail. The free app is probably just fine for most folks, but upgrade to Pro for unlocking more map details and downloading offline maps.
Jeff’s iTip: Using AirPods with Windows. First it’s helpful to keep Settings pinned to your Taskbar so that it’s easily accessible when you need to connect your Windows computer to your AirPods. If you need to check the battery status of your AirPods Pro when they’re connected to your Windows computer, you can do that on your iPhone. Also be careful about removing one from ear because it can jump over to your iPhone or iPad and then you would have to re-connect to your Windows PC.

Brett’s iTip: Change the Tab Bar Layout in Safari on your iPad - Separate or Compact. Separate takes up more space but offers a more familiar-looking appearance with the address bar displayed above your open tabs. Compact takes up less space by having your currently viewed tab act as an address bar, and also matches the Tab Bar's color to the site you are viewing. Make the change in Settings - Safari. I’ve been preferring the Compact layout, but it still seems like I’m having to get used to it.
Jeff’s iTip: AirTag replacement batteries: avoid bitterant coatings. The battery in an AirTag should last about a year. When you are alerted that it is time to replace the battery, you use a standard CR2032 battery. Because this battery is so small, a child might think that it is something to put in their mouth and swallow, so some battery manufacturers now add a non-toxic bitter coating to the battery to deter a child from swallowing the battery once it is placed in the child's mouth. Unfortunately, CR2032 batteries with this bitterant coating might not work with the AirTag, as Apple warns in this support article: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211670
And I can confirm, based on my recent trip to Italy, that batteries with this bitterant coating are problematic in an AirTag! Here is what I purchased: https://amzn.to/3aByI1r

Brett’s iTip: Normally I play all my music from my iPhone and use my Apple Watch to simply control the music, but I recently stumbled on this clever tip that lets me load music locally on to my Apple Watch and play it directly from there! I originally had “Recent Music” toggled on and the storage space on my Apple Watch was full - but then just added the albums I really wanted. This seems to only work with Apple Music (although I don’t believe you have to be a subscriber, just have the music stored in the Music app). Also note that the music won’t actually be transferred until the Apple Watch is being charged.
Jeff’s iTip: Turn on Sounds on the Apple Watch. I usually have my Apple Watch muted throughout the day just because I don’t want to annoy people around me with extra noises and alerts. But recently I tried the new WatchTube app for my Apple Watch and couldn’t hear the audio until I swiped up on Watch to reveal the Control Center and turned un-muted the audio.

Brett’s iTip: Password protect Pages, Numbers & Keynote files on your iPhone or iPad. If you need to secure a Keynote presentation with a simple password you can tap into settings and select “Set Password” to add a password. You can type a hint if you’d like and decide whether you want to use FaceID or not. If you send the file to someone else they’ll need the password to open it (and so will you!). To remove a password, you’ll have to enter the password first and turn OFF “Require Password.”
Jeff’s iTip: Force Quit an Apple Watch app:
- Open the app, if it is not already open
- Press and hold the Side Button.
- When the Power Down menu appears, release the Side Button.
- Press and hold the Digital Crown button until the app goes away and the watch face returns.

Brett’s iTip: Double-tapping your Apple Pencil for easy erase access! I’ve been thoroughly enjoying my 2nd Generation Apple Pencil for taking notes on my iPad (mainly using Notability) and one of my favorite little tips is simply double-tapping the Apple Pencil to quickly switch between the writing pen and the eraser! It’s so quick and easy, and doesn’t require me to lift my finger to tap another option, etc. There are other double-tap options under Settings - Apple Pencil but I very much like the immediate toggle between pen and eraser.
Jeff’s iTip: iPad as a White Board at Home (using GoodNotes). We use it for homework at our house, but you can use this for anything! For example, you can just put up a blank background and then take notes, and share those notes with others. Here’s a bonus tip when using GoodNotes and accessing the “lasso” tool” - you can customize what you grab with the lasso tool by tapping the tool and toggling on or off the following: handwriting, images, text boxes, and comments. When you’re done with the note you can export it as a PDF to share it around.

Brett’s iTip: Many times I prefer to reply to text messages on my iPad or Mac with a keyboard instead of tapping a reply. By default, all iMessages are synced across my devices but not all the SMS/MMS messages. These messages only go to your iPhone, but you can go into Settings - Messages - Text Message Forwarding and toggle on your other Apple products to make sure ALL your messages are synced across all your devices.
Jeff’s iTip: COMPLY Foam Apple AirPods Pro Earbud Tips. I wrote my initial review of these earbud tips about 6 months ago but they started to show some wear, so I purchased a 3-pack from Amazon since they have been the best tips that I’ve used on my AirPods Pro ($25 at Amazon).

Brett’s Apple Watch Tip: Just got a MagSafe Duo charger from Apple (I’ll report on that in a future episode) and was excited to try out the Apple Watch Nightstand mode, thinking it would keep the watch on all the time … it doesn’t. In order to see the time, you’ll need to either move towards the Watch or tap it, which isn’t always easy to do in the dark. But previously, I would have my iPhone sitting next to me and have to pick it up, so this is better. Just nice to put the Watch to use while it’s charging overnight.
Jeff’s Apple Watch Tip: Apple Watch Theater Mode - This turns on Silent Mode and the screen stays dark until you tap or press a button. You can also wake your watch screen gradually by turning the Digital Crown. How to open Control Center: Touch and hold the bottom of the watch face. Wait for Control Center to show, then swipe up. You can open Control Center from any screen. To close: Swipe down from the top of the watch face, or press the Digital Crown.

Apple: Use Keynote Remote to control your Keynote presentation
Brett’s iTip: First the most important reminder - you can’t have TouchID WITHOUT a passcode - you still ALWAYS need a passcode. When I used TouchID on an iPhone, I really only used one thumb, but with the iPad Air it makes sense to have multiple fingers for TouchID depending on the way that you’re holding the iPad. You can go into Settings - TouchID & Passcode and add more fingers, and even rename the fingers that you’ve used for TouchID. You can even add a family member’s finger to unlock your iPad.
Jeff’s iTip: You’ve always been able to copy an entire text message by tapping and holding and selecting “Copy” from the pop-up menu, but that copies all of the text in the message. If you only want to copy part of the text, create a screenshot of the text message and then in the screenshot drag your finger across the text to select and copy it - this works because the iPhone recognizes the text through the Live Text feature.

Brett’s iTip: When I create an appointment for say a lunch date, I like to reserve time on my calendar for actually getting to the restaurant.

It doesn’t require a location, but it does look like this is only available on iCloud-based calendars.
Jeff’s iTip: Speedtest by Ookla to check on the speed of your Internet connection. You can either visit www.speedtest.net from any web browser, or also use the iPhone or iPad app.

Brett’s iTip: I just got a BRAND NEW iPad Pro 12.9 this past week along with the Magic Keyboard!!! Wow!!! But one thing right off the bat that I despised about the Magic Keyboard was the trackpad made a loud CLUNK / CLICK and I’ve always liked tap-to-click on my Mac. So I was thrilled to see that there is an option under Settings - Trackpad for the Magic Keyboard!!
Jeff’s iTip: My favorite tips for using an external keyboard with an iPad. Many of these are the same or similar to what you would do on a Mac or PC, which makes them easier to remember when you are using an iPad.
- Command-Space to search, a great way to launch an app.
- Command-Tab to switch through apps
- Press and hold down the Command key to see all of the keyboard shortcuts that you can use in the current app, organized into sections.
- Command-H always hides the current app and brings you to the Home Screen
- Command-F to find
- Command-Shift-3 to take a screenshot of everything displayed on your screen.
- Shift-Left or Shift-Right to highlight text one character at a time, in the direction you press the arrow key.
- Shift-Option-Left or Shift-Option-Right to do the same thing one word at a time instead of one character at a time
- Globe Key + A: Open/Close Dock
- Globe Key + Left / Globe Key + Right to switch apps

Brett’s iTip: Reduce the space between app icons on your iPad (well, Apple calls this “Use Large Icons” but I like thinking about it in the inverse). With iPadOS 15 you can now go to Settings - Home Screen & Dock - and toggle on “Use Large Icons” which smoothly increases the size of your app icons and app folders. Switch back and forth to see which mode you like best.
Jeff’s iTip: Quick Action Menus on Apps. Instead of tapping on an app icon to open the app and then looking for the right place to tap to do what you want with the app, hold your finger down on the app icon to see the Quick Action Menu for that app. Some of my favorites:
Messages - Quick link to start texting with three specific favorite people
Photos - Favorites, One Year Ago, Search
Music - Play Most Recent
Notes - New Note
Calendar - New Event

Brett’s iTip: You can use the “Create PDF” command in the iOS Files App to merge multiple pictures or PDFs into a single PDF file. The files must be in the same folder, and you rename the files to make sure they’re in the order you prefer. Then select the files you want to merge, tap “More” in the bottom right corner and then “Create PDF.” For more information on managing files on the iPad check out my online course at www.ipracticeonanipad.com.
Jeff’s iTip: In the Photos app on the iPhone/iPad, you can add a caption to a photo, but you cannot change the filename. Thus, when you send the photo to someone else, the filename will be something like IMG_5340.jpg. But if you export the picture from the Photos app to the Files app, then you can change the filename to something more descriptive, which often makes it more useful for the person receiving your picture.

Another feature is the “If You Like” feature that recommends similar shows based on what other listeners enjoy, along with other podcasts produced by the same studio.

Julie Strietelmeir: Mount your Apple TV or Roku on your TV
Brett’s 15.4 iTip: Even if you previously set up Face ID, you’ll have to do this again so that the iPhone can “recognize the unique features around the eye area to authenticate.” You must have an iPhone 12 or higher for this to work! (NOT available on iPads yet!) You can add multiple pairs of glasses, similar to the way we could add multiple fingerprints for TouchID. I found this worked superbly during my recent trip this past week, although I’m still a little concerned about my trade-off in security.
Jeff’s 15.4 iTip: If you have both a Mac and an iPad signed in to your iCloud account, you can now use a single keyboard and cursor to control both devices. To turn this on, after you update your Mac to macOS12.3, go to System Preferences -> Displays, and then click the Universal Control button. Then turn on each of the features. (You will see several warnings that this is still just a beta feature.) I used this feature for a short period of time last night, and Universal Control worked incredibly well. It is immediately apparent to me that this is a feature that I will find very useful.

Brett’s iTip: It’s Time for Time to Run! I had to take a business trip to NYC this past week so I thought it was a good time to try out one of the newest “Time to Run” episodes running around Central Park! (I originally thought you had to be actually IN Central Park but that’s not the case!) Coach Emily described landmarks as we ran along the route, and little pictures would pop up on my Apple Watch to show what she was describing. Wholeheartedly recommend trying out an Apple One subscription to enjoy all the benefits of Apple Fitness+ (along with Arcade, TV+, iCloud+, News+, etc.).
Jeff’s iTip: Apple News+ for $9.99/month OR part of Apple One Premier ($30/month). There are hundreds of magazines that are fun to browse even if you might not buy them including Vanity Fair, the Hollywood Reporter, etc. You also get top stories, an Apple News podcast, and even newspapers like WSJ. In fact, if you don’t subscribe to WSJ separately, you can open an article on the wsj.com website on your iPad or iPhone, then tap the Share button, then share it with the News app. The Apple One Premier subscription can be shared with 5 people that also includes Music, TV+, News+, Fitness+, Arcade, and iCloud+ with 2TB for everyone.

Brett’s iTip: I’ve really been impressed with what Apple is doing with the iPhone’s default weather app since they purchased the Dark Sky app in 2020. Now with iOS 15 you can have the default weather app provide notifications when precipitation starts or stops. First you’ll need to make sure you allow the Weather app has access to your current location in the Settings and Privacy section. Then open the Weather app (I have my as a widget on the front of my iPhone screen) and tap the “bullet list” in the upper right. Then tap “Notifications” and toggle on notifications for the locations you have in the list.
Jeff’s iTip: If you use the excellent CARROT Weather app, you can choose the weather data source from within the app’s settings. Sources in the United States include:
- Dark Sky
- AccuWeather
- Tomorrow.io
- AerisWeather
- Foreca [based on Finland]
- MeteoGroup [based on the Netherlands]
- Personal weather stations
- Public personal weather stations
…and don’t forget that you can customize the layout of the app.

Brett’s iTip: Access files from a USB hard drive or thumbdrive on your iPad or iPhone. It’s so easy to do with the Files app, but there are several caveats. First, the USB external drive needs to be formatted in a file system that iOS can recognize, which most modern USB hard drives are these days. Second, this works best with a USB 3.0 drive. Third, so many of our USB hard drives and thumbdrives are USB-A so you’ll need an adaptor to plug it into your iPhone/iPad. If you have a Lightning iOS device, you can use Apple’s “Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter.” If you have a USB-C iPad, you’ll need a USB-A to USB-C adapter or today you might be able to find external drives that can connect directly to the USB-C port. You can also use USB-C hubs.

Brett’s iTip: A little bit of a self-serving tip with my iPractice on an iPad courses now available at www.ipracticeonanipad.com, but here are some tips on selecting text in Microsoft Word:
- The “old” way: tap and hold on a word until you see the Edit menu and then tap “Select.” That will select the word and you can use the blue dots to expand the text selection.
- Double-Tap to select a word. And then you can use the blue dots to expand the selection.
- Triple-Tap to select a sentence or a paragraph. More times than not, I see this selecting the entire paragraph, but in some cases a triple-tap just selects the sentence. But you can always use the blue dots to expand the selection or make it smaller.
- Use your External Keyboard: Hold down Shift + Left/Right Arrow Keys and this will select text one character at a time. Hold down Shift + Option + Left/Right Arrow Keys and this will select text one word at a time. (You can also use the Up/Down Arrow Keys)
Jeff’s iTip: Easily convert a Microsoft Word document to PDF on your iPad or iPhone. If you receive a Microsoft Word document on your iPhone or iPad and you need to convert it to PDF, just open the file in the Microsoft Word app and tap the “Share” button in the upper right corner (a small box with an arrow coming out). You’ll then see an option to share the Word document as a PDF. You can either email that PDF file to someone or open the PDF file in other apps like PDF Expert or GoodNotes.

Brett’s iTip: It’s Time to Pay the Apple Way! If you haven’t yet used your iPhone instead of an old-fashioned, physical credit card, it’s time to understand how this works because it is definitely the near future. Here’s how I recommend starting: You already have a physical credit card so add that card to your Apple Wallet (open Wallet and tap plus sign) - you’ll have to verify adding that card to Apple Wallet with your card issuer (the app walks you through all the steps). Now instead of handing over a physical credit card the next time you visit Target or your store of choice, pull out your iPhone and double-click the side button to bring up Apple Pay and select the card you want to use. Then hold your iPhone close to the payment terminal - you’ll have to verify this with either your FaceID or TouchID or your Passcode.
Jeff’s App: Picsew (shout out to iOS Today 588 https://twit.tv/shows/ios-today/episodes/588 and Rosemary Orchard). Free to download, $2 to unlock all features:

The app is free with a $2.99 in-app purchase to support multiple devices. Get a taste of something similar to Universal Control in iOS 15.4 / macOS Monterey 12.3. And the question is “will KeyPad remain useful after the updates?”

Brett’s iTip: Don’t Forget About Scribble on your iPad! Usually I either type notes or handwrite, but I never intend for my handwriting to convert into editable text which is why Scribble is such a great option. You can try it out by first going to Settings - Apple Pencil. You can really see the Scribble feature shine in the iOS Notes app - just bring up the Pencil toolbar by tapping the pencil with a circle around it, and then tap the “Handwriting” pen (it has a capital A on it). Now just start handwriting one letter at a time and watch the magic. You can also circle a text word with the Apple Pencil to select it. You can delete a text word by scribbling it out. You can tap and hold with the Apple Pencil to create some space to start handwriting more. I DO wish it was supported in more apps - I regularly use Notability when I handwrite notes which has its own full set of features.
Jeff’s iTip: Consider using GoodNotes for annotating documents instead of a traditional PDF app such as PDF Expert.
Advantages of GoodNotes:
- If the document is not OCR’d, the highlight tool keeps the text a dark black.
- Easier to move a bunch of annotations by using the lasso tool.
- Somewhat better tools for drawing a sketch, such as the shape tool.
- Search your handwriting.
Disadvantages / why PDF Expert is better:
- If the document is OCR’d, the highlight tool doesn’t snap to the text.
- Easier to move a single annotation by tapping it and then moving or deleting.
- Better polygon tool.
- PDF Expert lets you add your own toolbar

Over the last few months I’ve been enjoying reading PAPER (gasp!) books from my local library which, through technology, gives me access to books from ANY library across the state of Ohio! Been enjoying sitting in the evening, putting on jazz instrumental channel on Spotify (I created one called “Jazz Ballad Salad”) and read. But WHAT do you read? There’s so much! Recently found the Five Books site and I’ve spent a LOT of time looking through the top 5 recommended books in a wide variety of categories and just having a great time.

Brett’s Photos Tip: Change the cover photo for an album! Photos will automatically select the photo to use as an album cover and it’s typically the oldest picture in that album. But you can go into the album and long-tap whatever picture you prefer to be the album cover, and then select “Make Key Photo.” You can’t change the album cover of the Favorites or Recents albums.
Jeff’s Photos Tip: Sharing your photos on SmugMug. Great site for sharing photographs (and short videos) with others, in full quality, with no ads, on password-protected pages. There is also an app for the iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV. The basic plan is $75/year, but there are other plans. (I've been using SmugMug since Apple shut down its MobileMe web gallery service in 2012.)

Brett’s iMessage Tip: It’s possible to text a PDF (or Zip files, or other files), but a few caveats to be aware of … On an iPhone, in the iMessages app, there is no “direct” way to attach a PDF or other file. It’s easy to attach an image from your Photo Roll, or a GIF, or an Emoji. To text a PDF or other file, you’ll need to go into the Files app, or any other app, and Share it from there. The main thing I don’t like about this method is that I have to type in a name or phone number of my recipient, as opposed to selecting from a list of conversations. Just try to make sure the files are small enough, or compressed - don’t use this method to send large files. Also, this works great through iMessage from one iPhone to another, but it may not work as at all from iPhone to Android. You might have to use WhatsApp for this, or ugh, resort to email.
https://www.idownloadblog.com/2021/12/28/how-to-send-pdf-zip-files-on-imessage/
Jeff’s Mail Tip: Quick access to folders in the Mail app on the iPhone/iPad. When you are looking at your Inbox in the Mail app, tap the arrow at the top left of the app to see Mailboxes and folders. A number of folders are listed at the top, followed by sections for the different mail services that you have associated with Mail. On this screen, tap the Edit button at the top right. From there, you can select which folders from which mailboxes you want to have listed in the top section. You can also select special folders such as only unread messages, only messages with attachments, etc. And tap Add Mailbox to select any specific folder. Using that Edit button makes it much easier and faster for you to access specific folders or the special folders that work well for you.

Brett’s To Do Tip for the New Year! My favorite “to do” app is appropriately named “Microsoft To Do.” There are TONS of ways to track to-dos or tasks (Jeff uses Things) but I don’t think of Microsoft To Do as a “task management” app … for me it’s a “stress avoider” because it’s the easiest way for me to capture a to-do that pops up in my mind before it disappears, and I don’t have the STRESS of trying to remember it!
I usually add a “Due Date” to an item which simply means that I know that to-do will bubble up on that date, and then I can triage it to either do it or schedule it for another day.
A couple of quick tips:
1) You can add an emoji to your list name and that’s a fun visual cue for your list.
2) You can also add “tags” by using the hashtag before a word which turns into a tappable word for bringing up all the related tasks.
My video review of the Microsoft To Do app:
https://appsinlaw.com/microsoft-to-do-a-simple-way-to-track-lists-and-tasks/
Jeff’s Text Replacement Tip:In our last episode we discussed how to type special symbols on your iOS devices like ¶, §, Π, Δ. But you can also use the Text Replacement feature for typing phrases or even adding words to the built-in dictionary. Recently, John Gruber talked about using Text Replacement to make sure your iPhone properly types “20” (https://daringfireball.net/linked/2021/12/27/ios-15-autocorrect). I use this trick to make sure my iPhone always types specific items such as “Saenger Theatre” and “writ.”

Brett’s App: Stitch It! I came across this app because I needed a way to create a “stream” of screenshots. For example, today attorneys need their clients to preserve text messages and the easiest way (though not always the most comprehensive way) is to take a series of screenshots of a text messages conversation (take a screenshot, scroll up, screenshot, scroll up, screenshot, rinse & repeat). But this can also be a series of screenshots from a Twitter conversation, or Instagram comments, or Facebook page, anything …
Now you have a bunch of screenshots in your photo roll. Open the Stitch It! App and pull in the screenshots you want to “stitch” together. The app is free, but for $1.99 you can unlock the “no ad” mode, and you can stitch more than 3 images together. You can also crop each screenshot to fit seamlessly together and even redact personal info.

Jeff’s Photo Tip: PixelMator ML Super ResolutionYou can increase the resolution of pictures and add missing detail. Especially useful if you substantially crop an image.

Brett’s iPrivacy Tip: With iOS 15, Apple baked in some privacy features but some are still in “beta” like “Private Relay” that works sort of like a VPN, and allows you to hide your real IP address with a random one. If you pay for iCloud in any form or fashion (e.g. additional storage, Apple One, etc.) then you have Private Relay for free, and you just need to turn it on in your iCloud settings. This will basically hide your IP address from websites or present a random IP address.
But even if you do NOT pay for iCloud services, you can still hide your IP address in Safari (requires iOS 15). This basically prohibits websites from following you, tracking you, profiling you, or even understanding your basic geographic location. Go to Settings > Safari > Hide IP Address.

Brett’s CarPlay Tip: We’ve talked a LOT about CarPlay on this podcast so wanted to share a couple of ways you can customize the interface. First, check if your car model can support it through this link: https://www.apple.com/ios/carplay/available-models/ (usually cars from 2016 and up).
To customize your CarPlay wallpaper, you must be in the car to do this. Tap Settings in CarPlay and tap the image you want as your background. To Add or Re-Arrange apps, do this on your iPhone in Settings > General > CarPlay and then select the model of your car (so you have to have used this at least once and paired with car). Now you can move apps up and down, or add or subtract apps that will be shown on screen.
Jeff’s Apple TV Tips: To access the Control Center on your Apple TV, press and hold the TV button your Siri remote which will give you access to several options:
- Switch to another user. When you switch to another user, the previous user is signed out, and the TV and Music apps refresh with the new user’s unique Up Next lists, video or music collections, and recommendations.
- Put Apple TV to sleep - useful for first generation remote
- See the currently playing song in Music
- Control HomeKit scenes and cameras
- Access AirPlay controls
- Search
- Game controller settings
- TO CLOSE: Press back button / menu button
There are also several App Options - First, select an app (navigate to an app, then press and hold the center of the clickpad / touch surface until the app starts to jiggle). Second, press the play/pause button to bring up more options. Now you can delete an app or move the app to a folder.

Brett’s Presentation Tip: I really like using my iPad to drive a presentation because I can glance down at the iPad screen to see my speaker notes or the next slide. But while I don’t do a lot of LIVE presentations any more, I STILL like using my iPad to give presentations through Zoom or Teams. While both Zoom and Teams have built-in methods to “share” your iPad screen, I like using the AirServer software on my PC or Mac to do this (www.airserver.com consumer license $19.99 and business license $39.99). AirServer turns my computer into an AirPlay receiver which means I can share my iPad’s screen through the “Screen Mirroring” function in the Control Center. I prefer this method because I can re-size the AirServer window on my computer so I can see more of the Zoom or Teams interface while still driving the presentation from my iPad.
Jeff’s Photos Tip: Access the “Get Info” feature in Photos in iOS 15. Swipe up, or press the Info button. Here are some things you can do:
- People identified in the photo (small circle, button left)
- A caption field to describe the photo or video, and make it easier to find in Search
- Items detected by Visual Look Up
- If the photo was shared with you in Messages or another app
- The date and time the photo or video was taken; tap Adjust to edit the date and time
- Camera metadata such as lens, shutter speed, file size, and more
- Where the photo or video was taken; tap the link to view the location in Maps

Brett’s App: I just sort of “re-discovered” the VoiceDream Reader app and loving it all over again! I used this app when I was driving several hours on business trips - I needed to read articles or columns or documents, but of course I couldn’t read them while I was driving. But someone ELSE could read them TO me! And that’s where the Voice Dream Reader app came in. If there is text in a file, you can pull it into the Voice Dream Reader app - from anywhere. And the app will extract the text and READ it to you. There are so many ways to customize the voices, the speed, how the text flows & highlights. The VoiceDream Reader app costs $19.99 and comes with several voices, but you can pay $4.99 for additional voices.
Jeff’s App: The “When Did I…?” app by Heidi Helen Pilypas. Instead of a “to do” app, it is a “have done” app. My review: https://www.iphonejd.com/iphone_jd/2020/02/review-when-did-i.html

Brett’s iOS Shortcut Tip: I created a shortcut to more quickly switch my AirPods Pro to my phone. I regularly use my AirPods to connect to my MacBook Pro, and my iPad Pro, and usually the AirPods Pro switch between the devices on their own. But sometimes it doesn’t switch as quickly as I want it to, or I want it to switch before I actually start playing music or tap “call” on a phone call. So if I have the AirPods in my ear, and it’s already attached to my MacBook Pro, I can now triple-tap the back of my iPhone to launch the Shortcut to “Get AirPods” to manually switch them over to the iPhone.
Jeff’s iOS Shortcut Tip: Another useful one-action shortcut: Get directions to a specific location. This tip is useful because it works even if Maps has trouble figuring out where that location is.
- Create a new Shortcut
- Tap Add Actions
- In the search field, type Directions.
- Tap the Show Directions action to add it. It will say Show DRIVING directions from CURRENT LOCATION to __Destination__ using MAPS. You can change DRIVING to walking, biking, transit, or ask each time. You can change CURRENT LOCATION to some other location. You need to enter a Destination by searching for it or adding an address. You can change MAPS to another app like Google Maps or Waze.
- At the top, give your Shortcut a name, such as “Bill’s Diner.”
Now you can invoke by saying “Hey Siri, Bill’s Diner”
Another use: by changing the name of the shortcut, you can essentially come up with your own name for the location.

Brett’s “Time Waster” Tip: It’s time to create your Memoji! (You’ll thank me later … after you realized you spent 2 hours customizing your Memoji! It’s SO FUN!) To create your Memoji, you can go into your iMessages app, or even go into your Contacts and change pictures (or your own picture). Tap the + button and customize away! Your Memoji automatically become sticker packs that live in your keyboard and you can use them in Messages, Mail, and some third-party apps. Also new Memoji customizations in iOS 15.

2. At the top of the screen, tap the icon of a person with a plus sign and then tap Show Highlights
How do you share a note?
1. When you are looking at the note, tap the top right icon (circle with three dots) then select Share Note; or
2. When looking at a list of notes, swipe right-to-left across a note to see the Share Note icon
3. Before you share the note, you can tap on Share Options to decide if the person can make changes or view only, and whether the person can add other people to the note.

Jeff’s Post: Only widgets on the iPad
Brett’s iOS Widget Tip: Add the Files App widget and then you can specify which FOLDER you want to view files from under “Location.” You can add “Recents” or Tags, or a folder that you have Favorited. Or at the very bottom you can choose “Pick Folder” but unfortunately you are limited to only folders located “On My iPad” or from iCloud Drive” (although if you Favorite a folder from a cloud-based storage platform you can access that Folder).
Jeff’s iOS Widget Tip: Add and customize the Notes Apps widget on your iPad. I replaced the Siri Suggestion widget that I described earlier this week with the Notes widget. In fact, I replaced it with two of them.
(1) The medium widget shows the three notes you edited most recently in a specific folder of the Notes app that you can select.
(2) The large widget shows the six notes that you edited mostly recently in a specific folder of the Notes app that you can select — plus it shows (a) when you last modified the note and (b) the first line of the note.
(3) The small widget comes in two flavors. The Folder version is a shortcut to the single note that you most recently edited in a specific folder that you select. The Note version is a shortcut to a specific note that you select. Both have room to show a little of the beginning of the note.

How to Add and Manage Live Video in Keynote on the iPad
Brett’s iPhone Tip: We all know how to “Mute” yourself while on a phone call on your iPhone, but if you tap and hold (for about 4-5 seconds) on the Mute button, you can actually place the call on hold. This might be a silly little tip, but when you “Mute” the person who you called cannot hear you, but you can still hear them. But if you put the call on “Hold” then you are muted, and you can’t hear the other side either.
(I’ve only been able to test this on AT&T, but I’ve seen some reports that this only works on AT&T and T-Mobile, and may not work on Verizon or Sprint. Also, some people report that when you put a person on hold, they hear music, but I haven’t been able to verify that.)
Jeff’s iOS Tip: Customize the text size in a specific app. Go to Settings -> Control Center -> and add the Text Size icon. Now when you are using an app, invoke the Control Center and tap the Text Size button. At the bottom left, tap [this app] Only. You can then increase (or decrease) the text size only in that specific app.
This is one of the 50 tips in the MacRumors post by Tim Hardwick.

Brett’s iPadOS 15 Tip: New in iOS 15 / iPadOS 15 in the Files app, is the ability to “Use Groups” when viewing your files. Tap either the bullet list/grid icon on iPad, or the circle-ellipsis on iPhone, and you’ll see the option to tap “Use Groups” at the bottom. By default, this will group your files by “Kind” but you can tap again to group your file by “Date” or “Size. You’ve always been able to “Sort” your files by “Kind” but I like using the “Group By” option - it’s just more visually intuitive to me.
Jeff’s iPhone Tip: Medical ID helps first responders access your critical medical information from your iPhone’s Lock screen, without needing your passcode. They can see information like allergies and medical conditions as well as who to contact in case of an emergency. It’s easy to set this up and you (and all your family members) should do this. Here is Apple's Support Page on how to set this up in the Health App.

Brett’s Apple Watch Tip: Customize the Workout View on your Apple Watch. On your iPhone go to the Watch app - Workout - Workout View, then pick which workout you want to customize. Then you can select which items you want to view on your Apple Watch. For my “Outdoor Run” I like to see Duration, Heart Rate, Current Pace, and Distance. When I’m in “Hiking” I like to see Current Elevation and Elevation Gain.
Bonus: when you’re in workout view, you can turn the Digital Crown to “highlight” one of these metrics with a color which makes it easier to see.
Jeff’s iOS 15 Tip: Drag and Drop between apps on an iPhone - works with photos, URLs, documents (e.g. from a list in the Dropbox app), etc. Here’s a video demonstration from Marcos Alonso, a human interface designer at Apple: https://twitter.com/malonso/status/1439999537133678593

Brett’s iOS 15 Upgrade Tip: Apple will be releasing iOS 15 & iPadOS 15 on Monday, September 20 so here’s how you can check to see if you can upgrade your device. First, go to Settings - General - About to find the Model NAME and Model NUMBER of your iPhone or iPad (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208200). Next you can scroll to the bottom of this page https://www.apple.com/ios/ios-15/ to see if your iPhone is eligible, or scroll to the bottom of this page https://www.apple.com/ipados/ipados-15/ to see if your iPad is eligible.
Jeff’s Apple Store Tip: In my experience, the best way to order an Apple product directly from Apple. And it was better than ever this year because you could prepare your iPhone pre-order in the app so that everything was ready to go when Apple started officially taking pre-orders at 5am Pacific / 8am Eastern. The best experience is with the Apple Store App for iPhone: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/apple-store/id375380948

Brett’s Notes Tip: We talk a LOT about the Notes app on iPhone & iPad, and one of the reasons is because the app is so accessible right from an iOS device. And for me using a Mac, the Notes app is right there and everything is synced. But I know a lot of folks are NOT using a Mac, and unfortunately Apple doesn’t offer a Notes app for Windows. The easiest way to access your Notes on a Windows computer is to simply open a browser and visit www.icloud.com where you’ll find a Notes icon there to see all the synced Notes from your iPhone or iPad. Another way to do this is create a Progressive Web App, which is really a shortcut to the website, but it might be easier to access there.

But you can add the Shazam button to your Control Center by going into Settings and adding “Music Recognition” to the Control Center and this works MUCH better!

Brett’s iPhone Photo Tip: When you take a Live Photo on your iPhone, you can apply “effects” including Loop (video loop), Bounce (Live Photo rocks back and forth), or Long Exposure (e.g. a waterfall becomes a magical blur).
Jeff’s iPhone Notes Tip: Here are some ideas for things to store in the Notes app on your iPhone/iPad. You may want to try one of these, or this may spark an even better idea for you.
- File numbers
- Common phone numbers
- Talk to spouse items
- Movies and TV show I may want to watch
- Packing list
- Names and Faces for a group [profession group, kid’s team]
- Historical items: past addresses/dates, assistants you have worked with and when you did so, past cars you owned, past presents you have given someone. Names and faces can become a historical item.
- Lightbulbs
- Recipes to try. (For me, cocktails)
- Pin just a few key ones!
BONUS: If you use a password manager like 1Password, you can also store secure notes for things that are even more confidential. Keeping track of your salary as it changed over the years. Medical conditions or medications. Gift ideas for your spouse.

Brett’s iMessages Tip: In iMessages, you can “Hide Alerts” for only certain individuals or message groups by swiping to the left on a message and tapping the blue bell with a slash through it. You’ll now see a crescent moon on the left of that message and it will stop notifications for ONLY that conversation, but you’ll still receive notifications for all your other messages.
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201287
Jeff’s iMessages Tip: If you want to let someone know that you are on your way, you can certainly send them a quick text message. If you want to be more precise, there are some quick ways to do that in the Messages app. First, you can type “I’m at” and then hit the spacebar. The iPhone will give you a suggestion of sending your current location on the map. Second, you can type “I’ll be there in” and then hit the spacebar. If the iPhone thinks it knows where you are going (for example, if you are using Maps to navigate or you recently looked up a location), the iPhone will suggest how long it will take you to get there. Just tap the suggestion and the other person will know where to expect you.

Jeff’s Feel-Good Video Pick: Ted Lasso received 20 Emmy nominations this week, the most that the first season of any comedy series has ever received in TV history. But anything that is good can also be made fun of. The very funny Honest Trailers series -- part of the Screen Junkies channel on YouTube -- loves to poke fun at popular movies and TV shows, and this week they released the Honest Trailers take on Season 1 of Ted Lasso. It’s funny and worth watching.

Jeff’s Presentation Tip: You can use Keynote in a PowerPoint world! Start your presentation in Keynote and use the better tools for managing pictures and objects (like the Instant Alpha tool!), and then you can export your Keynote slides to PowerPoint - usually only minor tweaks necessary.
Brett’s Presentation Tip: Use your iPhone to remotely control your Keynote presentation on your Mac or iPad - it’s like a presentation remote on steroids! Both devices must be on the same network and you connect through the Keynote app.

Brett’s App: iExit is one of the best road-trip companion because it tells you what’s coming up on the next exits on U.S. Interstate Highways. Plus it’s FREE!
Jeff’s App: Google Voice is a free app and service that gives you a phone number for calling, text messaging, and voicemail. When a store or company or organization asks me for my number but I don’t want to give them my real phone number, I give them my Google Voice number. They can leave voice mails there or send text messages, but I have notifications turned off for the Google Voice app so that I’m not bothered by those calls coming in.

Brett’s Tip: Ping your iPhone from your Apple Watch! If you know your iPhone is close by, but can’t find it, you can use your Apple Watch to “ping” your iPhone. Simply swipe up on your Apple Watch face, find the “shakey-phone” icon, and tap that to make your iPhone making a pinging sound!

Jeff’s Tip: Use your Apple Watch as a remote camera button for your iPhone! You can prop up your iPhone on a table and use the built-in Camera Remote app on your Apple watch to see a live view of what the camera in your iPhone is seeing, and tap your Apple Watch for a 3-second countdown before a picture is taken!

Brett’s Gadget: Get the AirPods Pro and experience the glory of “noise cancellation” that you switch to “transparency”! You can get them from a variety of places, but Amazon currently has them for $197 which is about $52 off!
Jeff’s Gadget: The HyperDrive 6-in-1 USB-C Hub for iPad Pro DOES work with the 2021 iPad Pro when you use the included larger adapter!! If you have an older iPad with a Lightning port then be sure and get Apple’s USB 3 Camera Adapter but make sure you get the one that says “USB 3” and not the less expensive one!
