How To Use Apple Watch Wisely

Carol Bratt — Tue, 09 Dec 2025 06:03:10 +0000

Well, here I am again. I have been learning so many things about my Apple Watch! It really is amazing what these things can do! I have to say, for an older person, I find that I can use many of these things, and I love the simplicity and helpfulness! Another great thing about this watch is that it greatly lowers the texts and phone calls to my daughter asking her how to do something.

This Is Why I Use Google Maps Timeline

I ride around Buenos Aires on my motorcycle almost every day as a courier, but remembering where I’ve been over time can be a chore. It’s even more difficult to pinpoint where you were on a specific day, say last year or even five years ago, unless you keep a diary, which I don’t. Of course, in many TV shows and films featuring court cases and police investigations, witnesses are able to recall…

How To Improve Your Mobile Signal

Jim Canfield — Wed, 26 Nov 2025 05:04:06 +0000

In the past, I have heard many of my clients complain about spotty cell phone performance to the point where the phone won’t even ring, and the call might automatically go to voicemail. I personally have never experienced this problem, and to be honest, I never gave it much thought. I simply assumed they had spotty area coverage or poor carrier services to begin with. In a recent service call…

Update Your Phone’s Emergency Address

Jim Canfield — Wed, 19 Nov 2025 05:01:14 +0000

In a previous article, I mentioned that some of my clients experienced poor phone coverage. Their problems varied from issues occasionally popping up to major issues where their calls went directly to voicemail, low or spotty volume, and messages arriving late. I showed that the phones could use Wi-Fi Calling, which usually fixed the issue. However, when using Wi-Fi Calling…

How To Make A Selfie That Looks Like Someone Else Took It

Carol Bratt — Tue, 11 Nov 2025 16:47:59 +0000

I know that is a long Title, but I wasn’t really sure how else to phrase it. What I actually meant was that people have asked me how to take a selfie so it looks like a mirrored image. Hmm, I thought. I had just thought that was just the way it was and that there was no other way. WRONG! I did a bit of sleuthing and found an answer, and now I will share it with you! I think you will be amazed at…

I’m not sure about you, but I have thousands of photos on my iPhone. You know how it goes – every new baby step, the first day of kindergarten, and so on. You have the family over, and all of them are there for the holidays, and you must have those shots. And it is not only the pictures of the little ones either. I know with my family, there is always a family photo for each family that has to be…

Well, it’s the old fuddy-duddy back again. I have just been so busy trying to find ways to make my iPhone do what I want it to do. Granted, I may have an old-fashioned way of doing things, but hey, I bought the phone, and to my way of thinking, it should do what I want it to do. Right? So I cannot imagine (hope not) that I am the only fuddy-duddy out there who wants to know how to conquer their…

How To Recover Deleted Photos On Your iPhone

I tend to go nuts at family gatherings, any kind of celebration (especially if my grandchildren are involved). But here’s the thing – I also tend to erase some of those adorable photos accidentally! I hate when that happens! It upsets me to no end. Just recently, I had to send a picture of my medical information to a doctor, and I had no problems taking a picture of it and sending it where it…

I know, I know, it’s a phone and a pretty snazzy one at that! But there are lots and lots of other things that your iPhone can do other than allow you to make and receive phone calls. It really is amazing. Well, at least it is to ME! I have always been known in my family for getting lost, no matter how good the directions given to me. Once I was out to dinner, and I asked where the restroom was…

Yes, you read that correctly! I know, I know! It sounds crazy, but yes, that’s yet another cool thing you can use your iPhone for! Who knew? Certainly not me! But when I found out, I had to try it. It works! And since it does work and it actually comes in handy, I thought I would share it with you.
