Khalid: Amazon's new pitch: let Alexa speak as your relatives from beyond the graveBrett’s iTip: Normally I play all my music from my iPhone and use my Apple Watch to simply control the music, but I recently stumbled on this clever tip that lets me load music locally on to my Apple Watch and play it directly from there! I originally had “Recent Music” toggled on and the storage space on my Apple Watch was full - but then just added the albums I really wanted. This seems to only work with Apple Music (although I don’t believe you have to be a subscriber, just have the music stored in the Music app). Also note that the music won’t actually be transferred until the Apple Watch is being charged.   Jeff’s iTip: Turn on Sounds on the Apple Watch. I usually have my Apple Watch muted throughout the day just because I don’t want to annoy people around me with extra noises and alerts. But recently I tried the new WatchTube app for my Apple Watch and couldn’t hear the audio until I swiped up on Watch to reveal the Control Center and turned un-muted the audio.

First, the brilliance of Mr. Pawel to create such a monstrosity. And second, just hearing those sounds again, albeit in an orchestrated way, takes me back. Lot of nostalgia involved here. Jeff’s iTip: Pin a conversation in Messages. You can pin up to 9 conversations at the top of your Messages screen so you can quickly access your family and friends.

If you need to secure a Keynote presentation with a simple password you can tap into settings and select “Set Password” to add a password. You can type a hint if you’d like and decide whether you want to use FaceID or not. If you send the file to someone else they’ll need the password to open it (and so will you!). To remove a password, you’ll have to enter the password first and turn OFF “Require Password.” Jeff’s iTip: Force Quit an Apple Watch app: Open the app, if it is not already openPress and hold the Side Button.When the Power Down menu appears, release the Side Button.Press and hold the Digital Crown button until the app goes away and the watch face returns.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

I’ve been thoroughly enjoying my 2nd Generation Apple Pencil for taking notes on my iPad (mainly using Notability) and one of my favorite little tips is simply double-tapping the Apple Pencil to quickly switch between the writing pen and the eraser! It’s so quick and easy, and doesn’t require me to lift my finger to tap another option, etc. There are other double-tap options under Settings - Apple Pencil but I very much like the immediate toggle between pen and eraser.   Jeff’s iTip: iPad as a White Board at Home (using GoodNotes). We use it for homework at our house, but you can use this for anything! For example, you can just put up a blank background and then take notes, and share those notes with others. Here’s a bonus tip when using GoodNotes and accessing the “lasso” tool” - you can customize what you grab with the lasso tool by tapping the tool and toggling on or off the following: handwriting, images, text boxes, and comments. When you’re done with the note you can export it as Support the showBrett Burney from http://www.appsinlaw.comJeff Richardson from http://www.iphonejd.com

By default, all iMessages are synced across my devices but not all the SMS/MMS messages. These messages only go to your iPhone, but you can go into Settings - Messages - Text Message Forwarding and toggle on your other Apple products to make sure ALL your messages are synced across all your devices.  Jeff’s iTip: COMPLY Foam Apple AirPods Pro Earbud Tips. I wrote my initial review of these earbud tips about 6 months ago but they started to show some wear, so I purchased a 3-pack from Amazon since they have been the best tips that I’ve used on my AirPods Pro ($25 at Amazon).Brett Burney from http://www.appsinlaw.comJeff Richardson from http://www.iphonejd.com Support the showBrett Burney from http://www.appsinlaw.comJeff Richardson from http://www.iphonejd.com

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
