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).

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.

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.

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.

CWBChicago: Use an AirTag or Drive a Stick Shift Bradley Chambers | 9to5Mac: HomeKit Weekly: Aqara brings HomeKit Secure Video to a battery-powered doorbell for the first time 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.

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.

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. Support the showBrett Burney from http://www.appsinlaw.com Jeff Richardson from http://www.iphonejd.com

We found them at an Indonesian flea market 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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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. Jeff’s App: Flighty Almighty!

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.

When I was reading more about the new Race Route on the Apple Watch, I discovered that you can SORT your workouts by several categories: Suggested, Goal Based, Custom, and now Route. It’s so cool to see each of my walk/run routes listed and it even animates the route! Jeff’s iTip: Turning on and activating Advanced Data Protection in iOS 16.2 is a LOT more advanced that you might think!
