Your videos are always so informative, clearly demonstrated, and concise. Thank you!!

I found out about the voice isolation recently and I absolutely love it! Everyone I show it to is blown away. So useful!

These really are brilliant! I thought I was pretty knowledgeable but Wow there were heaps I didn’t know.
And the double tap zoom in maps also works in CarPlay
Thanks Tom, great stuff

It amazes me how I learn at least one new thing every time I watch one of your videos. Thank you.

Always enjoy your videos! Great reminders and always something new—now if I can only remember it…

Hopefully you know there is a faster way to check the location information for each app than by scrolling down to each app. In settings, go to Privacy and Security, then Location Services at the top. Every app that wants to use your location is listed. You can set it to always, never, or when you're using the app. I have limited those apps I want to use my location to while using. The rest are turned off completely. While this isn't the precise location, it is general location, and can make a faster update.

Always impressed as to what I learn in watching your videos. Thank you so much. I could have definitely been using the Check In tip all this time when traveling to my parent's home and notifying my son and sister. This will so be used from now on. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼. I also liked the screenshot tip .

[FutureSystem]

As always, thanks. I wish I could remember even half the tips you give!

haha, I just saw you had posted an hour ago and I thought I had a chance to be one of the first to comment. As commenter number 53, I clearly have no shame 🤣 but still a fan of the channel. I learn so much that I can use on a daily and really appreciate the work that you do to produce a winning product.

thanks for the vids!
screenshots: i like to take a screenshot, enter editing mode, crop or mark it as needed - then under "done" - i choose "copy and delete".
now i can paste it - either in a comment, a post or a message, without it cluttering my photos.

Always great info even for long time users. Thnx!

[chrislora]

Excellent tips! Now when I click on your newest video I make sure to have my IPhone in hand. Thank you for clear, useful info.

I note that the “Check in” function doesn’t appear to be available for groups - only individuals. I wanted to set it up to notify both my daughters of my non-arrival at home, but it’s not available on our group message thread, so I had to set it for both daughters, separately…which is a mild annoyance…

9:34 if you tap and hold the 1x zoom (or the others) you'll get a scroll wheel of various other focal lengths from 0.5x (13mm) to 15x.

[amylwallace]

I really love your videos! I faithfully watch every one. I'm always fascinated by things I wasn't aware of. So, here's my problem. I never remember them! And then, I'll happen to watch a new video and you point out something and I'm like, Oh yeah! I forgot about that. And then, poof! It's gone again! Any tips for remembering specific things to do?

[bbrothers]

I have been using Voice Isolation and Love it.

[ManInTheWoods-]

Not to mention that a feature called 'hide distracting items' introduced in iOs 18 devoloper beta 5 (i don't know about public betas) where in Safari, you can hide items such as pictures, pop ads and text.

[marklaurendet]

Very helpfull tip of tips, hope you keep these going on a regular basis

Are there similar tips you could give for Mac PC's ?

[no-ywcs]

mic mode (voice isolation), is app specific and needs to be configured individually for every single app that is used to make calls such as FaceTime, WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram etc.

Neva knew about the Drag & Drop screenshot thing. I would always close it out and go to the photos App to send it . 😂
