If you'll be using your Apple Watch's fitness features, you'll want to become acquainted with the Workout app, which helps you to keep track of your progress.
Starting with watchOS 3, you can customize your workout metrics, and in this tutorial, we'll talk about all the ways you can do that.
Filter out the contents of your email inbox in the Apple Mail app on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac to quickly find what you’re looking for. This will ensure you no longer have to scroll endlessly through your inbox, which can be a real pain when you receive a ton of emails.
Power Reserve mode is a feature of watchOS that let's you conserve what's left of your battery when you get low on juice by limiting your Apple Watch's functionality to nothing more than a time piece.
Starting with watchOS 3, the steps to enable it has changed, so we'll show you how it's done.
Learn how to edit, annotate, and markup a photo in the Apple Messages app on your iPhone or iPad before sending it to the recipient.
Learn how to spice up your iMessage conversations with bubble and fullscreen effects that play in the Messages app on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch.
The iPhone 7 came with a shiny new Home button to take advantage of built-in pressure sensors and an enhanced Taptic Engine to detect and simulate clicks. Because the button no longer uses any moving parts, you’re less likely to break it. A new “Meet the new Home button” section in the iOS installer allows you to “make your iPhone experience even more personal by choosing the click that’s right for you”.
Of course, you can select between three degrees of haptic feedback that simulate clicks at any time using the stock Settings app, here's how.
Apple's Messages app provides an optional iOS-only mode which cuts down your cellular data consumption to a bare minimum when sending image attachments. I don't know about you, but I worry about sharing high-resolution images when cellular data is on. In my experience, most normals are oblivious to the fact that sending a single shot-on-iPhone photograph through iMessage burns through one to five megabytes of data, sometimes even more.
In low quality mode, Messages uses only 100KB per image attachment. Another way to think about it: you can send 30 to 50 images for the same amount of data required to share a full-resolution attachment in Messages. In this brief tutorial, we'll teach you how to tell Messages to send lower quality images in order to optimize your cellular data consumption and prevent unwanted overage fees.
Two-Factor Authentication strengthens the security of your Apple ID by preventing anyone from accessing or using it, even if they know your password. With Two-Factor Authentication, one of your trusted devices generates a one-time code when you make a purchase or sign in to your Apple ID, iCloud, iCloud.com, iMessage, FaceTime or Game Center account on a new device. Two-Factor Authentication is also required for Auto Unlock so you can unlock your Mac by wearing an Apple Watch.
In this tutorial we'll show you how to protect your Apple ID with Two-Factor Authentication or, if you're still using the older and less secure Two-Step Verification, upgrade to Two-Factor Authentication.
With Instagram drafts, you can save any half-finished photo edits and work on them later, which is handy for those times you get too busy to post right away. And if you run an Instagram account for your business, letting your social media manager save a post as a draft makes it easy for you to review it in advance of publishing.
One of the more useful features for iPhones that comes packed inside of Apple’s new iOS 10 release is voicemail transcription, which transcribes your voicemails into text so you can read them rather than listen to them.
The feature is available to users in the United States and it’s very much still in its beta stages despite the fact that iOS 10 is now a public firmware, but if you want to know how to use it, or to see if you can use it yet, then you’ll be happy to know it’s quite easy to follow.
Just like you probably do, I have a folder on my iPhone whose sole purpose is to store all of Apple's apps that I don't use. Stocks, Compass, Voice Memos, Tips, etc. They're all in there because I can't get rid of them. But this is changing!
Beginning with iOS 10, Apple now allows you to delete some built-in applications from your iPhone or iPad to help you tidy things up and bit and rid you of apps you don't actually use.
This comes with some minor strings attached. For one, apps aren't technically deleted from your device. That said, the process to remove them and get them back on the Home screen is similar to how you handle other apps. We'll have a look at all this right now.
watchOS 3 released alongside iOS 10 with a bunch of new features, core technologies and user interface enhancements. With watchOS 3, navigating your watch is now intuitive, as it should have been from the onset. A new Dock feature lets you access your frequently used apps with a press of the Side button and they load way faster, even on the original watch.
Apps can also take advantage of Background App Refresh technology to stay up to date, Messages now supports stickers, enhanced Digital Touch features and even fullscreen and bubble effects, like in iOS 10, plus tons more.
