I often use my iPhone to look things up on the web while I’m out and about. If I want to pick up where I left off later using my iPad, I don’t have to remember how to get back to that page. There is a very simple way to jump right to it.
In my last article, I showed how to set up a shared shopping list using the Reminders app, and I showed how to quickly use Siri to add items to those lists. Did you know that Siri and the Reminders app can help you remember many more things?
Many of you probably use your iPhone to keep track of shopping lists. It makes it easy to jot things down that you want to remember to buy, and you always have your phone with you. Wouldn’t it be nice if several people could add items to the same list so you know that you’re getting everything needed at the store? Luckily, that’s pretty easy to do with the iPhone.
I was recently asked to write a guest post by a blogger that had visited this site and found it helpful. Hugh Roberts is a blogger, writer, and photographer and he has a great blog. You can visit his site here.
This is the first time I’ve been asked to write guest post and was quite excited to do it. The article I wrote shows how to use tabs in Safari to keep several web pages open at once, and includes a nice tip for how to re-open a tab that has been accidentally closed.
You can read the post here. I hope you find it useful, and I hope you enjoy Hugh’s blog.
We recently moved into a new home and once all the furniture was placed and the boxes unpacked, we started to hang pictures. The problem was that the garage was still a mess and we couldn’t find our level. The solution? The iPhone, of course!
Have you ever seen something on the web or in an app that you don’t have time to read at that moment, but want to remember to read later? Safari has a great feature called Reading List that keeps track of those pages for you. And best of all, you can read those saved articles even when you’re offline.
I’ve written previously that I do a lot of reading on my iPhone and iPad. Unfortunately, reading a web page is not always a great experience. Many web pages are filled with things not related to what I’m trying to read: ads, links to other sites, comments, social media, and more. Safari has a great way to focus on just the main content: Reader View.
The iPhone does an amazing job taking great photos. It sets the focus and exposure, detects faces, adjusts color and white balance, and much more, all automatically. Most of the time, you simply point and shoot and get an awesome photo. Sometimes, however, you may need to take more control.
Our iPhones can do so many wonderful things that it’s sometimes easy to forget they are also telephones. And while making phone calls may seem old school, there are many times when speaking to someone is the best way to communicate. With that in mind, here are a few tips to make using the phone easier.
Our world has become more and more digital. We watch digital movies, listen to digital music, and many of the documents that used to be paper-based are now sent and received in digital form as PDF files. Do you ever find yourself needing to print, sign, scan, or send these documents? If so, there are easy ways to do this using your iPhone or iPad.
