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

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.

I used to add a separate calendar appointment for this, but now on the lunch date I can add “Travel Time” which helpfully blocks out my calendar before the appointment. 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.

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 appsPress 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 ScreenCommand-F to findCommand-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 timeGlobe Key + A: Open/Close DockGlobe Key + Left / Globe Key + Right to switch appsBrett Burney from http://www.appsinlaw.comJeff RSupport the showBrett Burney from http://www.appsinlaw.comJeff Richardson from http://www.iphonejd.com

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 peoplePhotos - Favorites, One Year Ago, SearchMusic - Play Most RecentNotes - New NoteCalendar - New EventBrett Burney from http://www.appsinlaw.com Jeff Richardson from http://www.iphonejd.com Support the showBrett Burney from http://www.appsinlaw.comJeff Richardson from http://www.iphonejd.com

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

My favorite are the recommendations for other podcasts to listen to including “You Might Like” which recommends channels that may be of interest to you based on the channels you follow and listen to. 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.

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

Here Are Other Ways to Find the Cheapest Gas.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.
