Your insights are pure gold, thank you! Now, onto more pressing matters-have you ever thought about narrating an audiobook? Because honestly, I'd listen to you read the ingredients label on a can of potted meat and still be captivated.
😂 Funnily enough, I did voice overs for 4 years before I started this UA-cam channel! There's a LOT of people working in some big corporates that have to listen to me drone on through some pretty dry eLearning...
I agree! I’d listen to you reading the telephone directory! But more important - do you do any one on one Zoom lessons? I’m so bewildered by my iPhone 15 Pro!
I have an iPhone 13 at version 17. It’s surprising how often the things that you talk about are not available to me. It would be useful for you to include a quick way to tell which tips, if any, are applicable on phones below the most recent model.
Love your videos. I’m a proper geek, especially when it comes to Apple, and that you continually find new things to share blows my mind. And in such a professional way…… but the thought of you sat there editing videos listening to Grime has completely thrown me for a loop 😂 Keep doing what you do, my man.
For the older user the record message to yourself function is great. Record something interesting and then wait a few days before playing it. With any luck you'll have forgotten you sent it and be convinced you've got a new friend. Send one in reply and you create a feedback loop with your new friend that'll last a lifetime 🙂
A messages trick I just learned… to easily check updates on flight info, simply send yourself a text with the flight number. Tap on the link that’s created and view preview for current info such as gate departing or arriving, departure, arrival or flight time and more.
Great tips, but with 17.5, it looks like the drag-and-drop tip for Podcast transcripts is broken. When I try it now, I just get the same summary I get with cut and paste.
Agreed. The transcript on 17.5 now terminates at “copywrite” text which appears to be hidden. I tested 17.4.1 on my wife’s iPhone and I can copy the entirety of the transcript. The AI engine (co-pilot or chatpt) error out on the amount of text but I’m probably doing something wrong as I haven’t worked much with AI yet. 8:45 Great Content Tom!
I am a sub for a while now. Your videos are always full of knowledgeable info and I'm very engaged while watching. I actually didn't know about the first tip with lifting your phone to your ear to start recording a voice message while in messages !!! That was a very useful tip Thank you for your content. Aaron United States
I really love these videos thank you very much BTW I have actually managed to copy text from a voice recording in messages so long as the message is long enough you will get a “show more” option in the text bubble, then when you click “show more” it opens all the text on a separate new page and you can just copy it then but for some reason if the message isn’t very long you cant just copy it from the message string itself, anyway I hope that helps and I haven’t misunderstood anything 🙏👊👍
Another great video. Thanks for all the info. Does anyone know if there’s a way to send voice messages from the Apple Watch? Not dictation but actual voice messages. Thanks
I have a question regarding your tip about sharing messages by mistake. I have an iPhone 15 Pro. When I go to Siri and scroll down to "suggestions", I can only turn it on or off. It is currently off. Is there another way to address this issue?
I was very excited the other day because I finally learned an iPhone trick that I didn't know after using the iPhone for almost 14 years. This trick allows you to override the silence mode by going to the contact, selecting ringtone, and activating emergency bypass. I tried it immediately on my son's iPhone because his phone is always on vibrate. Unfortunately, it didn't work, and the phone didn't ring. And raise to record a message doesn't work for me
Thank you for the tips, but for the love of God, I cannot get the first one to ever work for audio message. Is there anyone who can suggest tips how to get it to work or turn it on? I followed this video and the other one and I can’t get it to work ever. 🤷♂️
HELP! my contact card does not show up in messages. Actually mine does not look like yours at all. I don't see the contacts listed alphabetically. I just see messages ordered by most recent. Running IOS 17.4.1 on iPhone 15 Pro Max.
Very good tips. However, my contact card is not at the top of my messages list. There are some images of people there that I frequently Contact. But my contact card is not among them

Have you ever had this problem? I was just in Cabo with my family and I was trying to work in the sun direct sunlight by the pool and my iPhone either got too hot or I couldn’t really see my iPhone in direct sunlight because the brightness is really poor.

At 1:02 you discuss tapping my contact card at the top of the screen in the messages app. My card doesn’t show there, but I have six pinned chats. If those pinned chats weren’t there, would that change things, or is there a setting I need to change? I’m on an iPhone SE 2023, in case that matters.
I did find that this works from the Contacts app if you click on the "message" button at the top of the screen. Or, in the Messages app, if you open a message you've sent to yourself previously. Not as easy to do if you haven't sent a message to yourself recently.
@@eightwheels Yeah, one of those chats I have pinned is to myself. I had no idea we could make voice messages so easily (the first tip). I also use the message to myself to test how things will appear if needed.
@@al-knows-nothing I thought it didn’t work until I noticed that, although I did not hear anything when putting my iphone to my ear, just by talking and then looking at the message that an audio attachment was there ready to send. So my issue is that I do not get an audio or haptic confirmation that Audio recording is initiated.
Great tips! I will switch to iOS whenever they make customizable keyboard layouts possible. I'm Hungarian and type on a layout having letters like éá őú öüó which reside on the right side of the keyboard, next to L and around the ENTER button. I know long press a is á or long press e is é but that is not where I look for these letters when typing, so it makes me completely freeze and numb when I type naturally. Small things, but they matter A LOT!

Hello , can you please tell me why my iPhone 12 mini keeps dropping its internet and also why does my registered contacts not show on my home screen when they call , Sometimes they do but most of the time it’s an “ unknown “ call .. I don’t know who is calling me … it’s the worst iPhone I’ve ever had .. thank you .
The Siri & Search - show when sharing option is something I have wanted to turn off for years!!! Thanks so much! Now if I could just block certain people from showing up in airdrop when they are in close proximity to me, that would work wonders!!
Wonderful video thank you. I love your stuff as so much of it I don’t know about and it’s so useful. I already know that I don’t use my apple products to its full potential so this helps tons. Ty

While watching your videos you frequently use a QR code. When watching your vids on my iPhone, is there a way I can scan the code?
By far the best channel for learning about your phone to help with productivity! Apple needs to pay you well! Lol
