Both of these services have deals right now, and you can get $30 back by signing up through Rakuten (you can use my link https://www.rakuten.com/r/BBURNE17?eeid=28187), searching for TunnelBear or 1Password and making the purchase that way - you’ll get $30 back!

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!)

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.

Brett’s iTip: Quote highlighted text when sharing a link in Messages.

Jeff’s iTip: If you copy a web address and paste into the Mail app on the iPhone or iPad, the link quickly changes to a graphical preview of the website. 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.

Brett’s iTip: Use Your Apple Watch to get insight into your sleep habits. In order to best track your sleep, you’ll need to wear your Apple Watch overnight while you sleep, and the Watch must be in Sleep Mode. 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.

Jeff’s iTip: Turn off auto-play of videos. Go to Settings - Accessibility - Motion and toggle off “Auto-Play Video Previews.” This will stop apps like the App Store from automatically playing video previews.

D. Griffin Jones | Cult of Mac: 8 secret features in Apple Maps

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. But to send replies without waiting for confirmation, do any of the following: On iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Go to Settings - Notifications - Announce Notifications, then turn on Reply Without Confirmation. On Apple Watch: Go to Settings - Siri - Announce Notifications, then turn on Reply Without Confirmation.

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.

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 improv

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.

Jeff’s iTip: There are a couple of ways to switch between open apps on your iPad: 
1. Swipe left or right with four or five fingers.

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.

What if a picture comes up that I don’t want on my home screen: Tap Don’t Feature Photo.

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/

Jeff’s iTip: HomeKit Cameras – see live streams and recordings by going to Home app (on iPhone) - Top right icon, circle with three dots - Home Settings - People - select a person. For the Cameras you can set them to “Stream
