Griffin Jones | Cult of Mac: 8 secret features in Apple MapsBrett’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).Support the showBrett Burney from http://www.appsinlaw.comJeff Richardson from http://www.iphonejd.com

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

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

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

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.Jeff’s App: One of my favorite apps for the iPad that I use all the time is Support the showBrett Burney from http://www.appsinlaw.comJeff Richardson from http://www.iphonejd.com

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 quicklySupport the showBrett Burney from http://www.appsinlaw.comJeff Richardson from http://www.iphonejd.com
