There are plenty of reasons as to why phone users would want to block unnecessary calls, such as spam. Here’s a quick way to do it:

1. To delete a caller from your list of recent callers, open the Phone app and select Recents from the menu.
2. After tapping the information icon that appears next to the number of the caller that you want to block, pick the Block Caller option.
3. After you have done scrolling down the menu, locate the option to Block this Caller at the very bottom of the screen. Tap the Block Contact button once more to confirm that you really do wish to block this individual.
4. To reactivate the caller’s ability to reach you, select the “Unblock this Caller” option.

iPhones include a handy feature that will allow you to share WiFi passwords to other iPhones. Although the execution is simplistic enough, there is a checklist:

First off, when using two iPhones to share a WiFi password, ensure sure they are both within range of each other. It’s also recommended that you make sure that your WiFi and Bluetooth are turned on and that your Apple ID is set up to allow you to share passwords with other people. You can do this by checking the toggles in the Settings app.

Both owners’ Apple IDs need to be in the other’s Contacts. Unless both of your Apple accounts are included in your contact list, shared files will not be available.

One iPhone has to be connected to the WiFi, while the other is trying to connect. Tap the Password Sharing button when a message pops up, requesting to provide the password.

The WiFi network’s password will be copied to the other phone and automatically filled in so that you may join the network.

After a few weeks of testing, Apple has finally made the most recent versions of its mobile operating systems, iOS 15.5 and iPadOS 15.5, available to the general public as of today.

With this specific version, iOS 15.5, the Communication Safety in Messages feature is now accessible in the United Kingdom, along with Australia, Canada, and New Zealand, according to reports.

This application, which was once accessible to users in the United States, is called Communication Safety in Messages, and it was developed to identify instances of nudity in images sent or received over iMessage on children’s electronic devices.

If it finds any, it will let the user know that the images in question could contain potentially harmful content. If a kid receives an image that depicts any inappropriate adult content, the photograph will be altered, and the youngster will be given information from organizations that advocate for the protection of children.

If a kid sends a photo to another child that contains related content, the recipient will get a notification warning them that the child is not allowed to share the image again.

Back in March, we made a blog post about how one feature in particular had become into a contentious topic of debate in a variety of online discussion boards.

Apple recently shared an update on their App Store Improvements project.

This one shouts out to developers, stating if their applications are out of date, it will be removed from the App Store. The policy says that if your app hasn’t been updated in the last three years and doesn’t have a certain amount of downloads, you’ll receive an email notifying you that your software has been reported for removal from the App Store altogether.

However, developers are speaking out against it. According to MacRumors, “Many of the affected developers objected to Apple’s policy, noting that their apps continued to function just fine despite a lack of updates, highlighting the amount of work that might be needed to submit even a minor update, and pointing out that many apps can exist as finished works without a need for continual updates.”

Thankfully, Apple announced the deadline for app updates has been extended from 30 days to 90 days.

This is a pretty cool tip if you don’t have a printer with a scanner. If you have an iPhone, you can scan important documents using the Notes app.

All you have to do is go to the Notes App and click on the Camera icon on the bottom of the screen (it’s right in the middle). Once you’ve clicked on it, the option Scan Documents will be available for you to pick.

From there, you’ll just position the document and take a picture. You can drag the sides to match up to the paper. Then save the scan.

After all that is said and done, you can print off the document by hitting the Share button in the top right corner. Then scroll down the options until you find Print. What a handy feature on iPhones!

This new event, like WWDC and last year’s fall events, will be controlled online, with no members of the media invited to attend in person.

Apple appears to be able to provide pre-recorded portions for each new product that is announced. Apple said today that it will conduct a special event on September 14th.

Their main focus on this event will be surrounding the iPhone 13, the AirPods 3, and the Apple Watch series 7.

The event is likely to be the first of several in the first few months of 2021, following Apple’s request to unveil numerous products in three events over three months in 2020.

Rumors suggest that there will be at least two Apple events this autumn, most likely in the month of September.

If you have an iPhone, you will want to try this feature out!

I just recently found out about this simple, yet wonderful feature on the iPhone. Screenshots can usually be taken by holding down the power button and the volume button simultaneously. It can be frustrating, however, if you don’t, as if not done properly you will just turn off the screen.

Here’s how you can screenshot by just tapping on your iPhone’s back:

• Go to Settings
• Scroll down to Accessibility
• Under Physical and Motor, click on Touch
• Scroll to the bottom and click on Back Tap

From there, you will find Double Tap and Triple Tap are your options. If you click on one, you’ll find a list of uses, such as Home Screen, Mute, Siri, among others. 

Click on Screenshot.

And there you have it. When you double tap (or triple tap, whichever one you chose), a shot of your screen will appear. Super easy and quick! Be sure to check out the list and see if any of them are worth utilizing with the back taps.

Note: I do have a case on my iPhone 12 Pro Max, and the double tap STILL DOES work. I’m unsure if it will work with all cases.
