Could you please consider making a video on “iCloud”. It’s probably the most complicated thing there is. Like for example the plethora of settings there are for iCloud, for iCloud photo sharing.
Sure, and thanks for the suggestion. It's something I've had on my to-do list for a while, but I'll see if I can make it a priority. I'd welcome any other suggestions for what an iCloud video might include...
@@ProperHonestTech thanks a lot! Sure whenever you wish to address it. Would be more than grateful. Also, glad to see your channel growing so rapidly, hope it continues that way. Love the content you put out, thanks!
Building your own shortcuts is also very complicated, especially for those of us too old to have learned scripting, coding and the like in school. That’s unfortunate, because it seems as if Apple is going to make the most of Siri through shortcuts, rather than to just bake her new features into the OS.
@@ProperHonestTech please remind people to have multiple safe devices or numbers. So many people have access issues because they only have one device and one number and it easily become un accessible
Loved this video! Just wanted to add - the iPhone can convert a screenshot or document or picture to pdf without need for a pdf converter. Simply select the item, select print, tap on the preview and pinch inward to create a PDF
I've been watching his videos for a couple of weeks. There's only pure, refined information, no distractions whatsoever. They're not boring either. For iOS, iPadOS, and/or MacOS users: This is THE channel! I recommended to some of my friends and they also subscribed. Thank you!
This is by far, and I saw plenty of them, the BEST CHANNEL for iPhone tutorials on TH-cam. Whenever I have time, I watch it, I didn't even realize how many things about my iPhone I don't know. Obviously, I'm not an expert user, but that's exactly what I love about iPhones, they are built for everyone. I am stunned that you have only 82k subscribers, there should be so much more of them checking your channel. Thank you again for the way you explain these things to us, average users.
Thank you so much, that's so kind of you, and I'm so pleased to hear that you're enjoying the content so much! It's people like you that I make this content for, so your words really do mean a lot. 🙏🏻
This is the most informative vlog I found here in youtube about my Iphone. And you really really explain it clearly step by step. For somebody like me who is not tech savvy, so proud to say that I can follow the steps in my own pace. Thank you!!!💕
Great comments and suggestions… delivered in an easy-to-understand and common-sense way. Not boring and this gent doesn’t seem to be hamming it up or “performing” to become a star. Just great useable info. Thanks for that. Looking forward to hearing and seeing more.
Just discovered and subscribed this channel and realised how much more my iPhone can do than I had thought and how to easily access it all. Information is clear, concise and relevant. Will recommend to others who also 70+years are keen to get the best from the amazing available technology. This is really useful, thank you.
It's more of a Mac feature but you can use your iPhone to scan things directly into your Mac. You can scan text, photos or even sketch on your iPhone screen and will appear on your Mac. Just hold option and click anywhere on your desktop, then click Import from iPhone. Great feature that I use all the time.
I know a lot about iPhones, but I learn something new with every one of your videos. Your presentation style is the best and I share your tips with others often. Thank you!
@@StormyDay If you follow the steps given in the video about guided access, you can stop the screen being touch sensitive. The image you want to trace won’t be affected by pressure so you can trace it with a pen or pencil. I’ve used it for art and also when redesigning my garden. I had a survey plan and I could quickly sketch out options for where I wanted to put new features. Obviously you can do that digitally but it’s quicker sometimes to do these things on old fashioned paper. Hope that helps!
Man, that live-notes thing is a game changer for making notes, especially since I like handwriting still. I was thinking of a good way to make digital notes as well, and to hear that I can essentially copy and paste my written notes into a word doc makes that so much easier! The App Lock tip is so useful, thank you!
As someone who is medically blind I use the text facility in photo with voiceover turned on if my dedicated apps (Seeing AI, Supersense) have decided to spontaneously update so I can’t use them. So handy when I want to check street names, or labels on packages. Also that look up option looks like it will be useful if my travel apps (Soundscape, Moovit, Lazarillo) have decided to play up by spontaneously updating.
Thanks so much for the tip for the one-handed keyboard. Works so much better for me since I type with one hand. When I first saw it I was a bit doubtful because it makes it a bit more condensed but it actually works very well. I will look at some of the other tips here too. This was the one that really caught my attention. You also have a great format for teaching.
Never knew about the lookup function or the music recognition history 👍 This is the thing with Apple, sometimes they are just too subtle when it comes to some features. Guess that’s good news for TH-camrs though 😉
I so appreciate your videos. I’m new to iPhone and I’m amazed at the things it can do, thanks to you and your training. You’re very concise and the pace you keep is easy to follow. Thank you.
So helpful! I’ve been trying to identify pictures from a trip to Paris I took years ago. I’ve been able to identify most of the landmarks, specific sculptures, etc. using the camera feature you mentioned. Thank-you!
Really useful. I had no idea you could search for photos. I need this sooo much as I work from photos for my tutorials and can never find them so thank you
Thanks for explaining everything so clearly! I really enjoy your videos. They deal with topics worth spending some time on, and you don’t waste anyone’s time. 👍🏽 ❤❤❤❤
Omg!!! What a fabulous content you have created for people to learn to really love their iPhone. Thank you for your delightfully pleasing delivery of “how to”. I’m excited to be a new subscriber and am sure to spread the word about your channel. What a find!
When the photos app can read doctors' writing we'll know that we have reached peak computing. Thanks for helping me get more out of my iphone! I forgot about the measure app lol.
Just replaced my iPhone X with a 15 pro. Your videos are wonderful for getting all the new features installed on the phone or in my memory. Very many thanks!
So so helpful!! Omg forever my screen kept dropping.. then you showed “reachability” and Finally I was able to turn that off and stop that drop! I have had a new phone and a tech look and no one ever discovered that!! Hallelujah! Thank you.. love your videos!
Identifying Music - I can ask Siri to ID music. And the Apple watch. - While I'm in the car, I can ask my watch to ID a song on the radio - it's amazing how well it works.
I didn’t know I could point any imagine with your finger and move image to any spot on same photo and doing screen shot at the same time. Best you can duplicate this over and over again. Amazing.
The Live Text feature is the best! So often friends want my recipes and it’s great to know that I can translate my print scribble to text and then text it to a friend.
Thanks, i have iphone mini and that feature of “reachability” annoyed the hell out of me, i could not understand why the f my phone was dropping half screen sometimes. Now i disabled that feature thanks to u and now my screen stays on place. Also with translating was awesome tip. Usually i was using google app
I like Assistive touch. I have take a screen shot in there as well as mute, Siri, control centre. I think o could have more but the Siri and screenshot sold me on it
At 5:10 thanks for the low key shout out lol. I had just switched to iPhone 13 pro max from the Samsung note series a few weeks before your video posted. I really appreciate the information you provided. It makes this switch that much better! But I wasn’t expecting to see my video on your tutorial! So that was cool too lol.
Lock phone to a specific app-Always wondered if that was possible and you perfectly explained how it works. Outstanding. Keep up the great work. I'm surprised you don't already have at least 1 million subscribers.
I could sit and listen to his soothing voice all day. Very informative videos and I’ve learnt so much more about my iPhone SE 20. Thank you for posting. 👍🇬🇧
Man….THANK YOU for explaining the Look Up feature in Photos. Been doing it wrong for the longest. It has to recognize something in the picture, and it has to have the “sparkle” effect around the “i” button. Now it works! Thanks bud! ✌🏾
@@mattstanley7887 don’t think so. Should be available for any iPhone able to run iOS 15+. Have to check your photos individually. When you find one with the sparkly effect around the “i”, then you can hit it and it’ll highlight what iOS found, be it a landmark, object or subject. Keep trying, and good luck. 👍🏾🍀
Great tips! There is so much I don't know about my phone! I still have an 8+ but hope to upgrade one of these days. I walked through all of your instructions for setting the phone to track with the power off but when I power down I don't get that message that my phone is findable after power off. Am I doing something wrong?
I have tried the first 2 tips with no luck. I tried taking lots of photos around the house, including 2 dogs but my iPhone 10 didn’t recognise anything. I also opened the camera app but it didn’t identify anything as text. Not sure what I am doing wrong.
I don't know about a lot these features because my phone doesn't have these features. Maybe I'll reference this video again if I upgrade. Thank you still though
You helped me in a way you didn't intend. My wife and I have been inadvertently triggering the reachability feature for months without figuring out what it was nor how to do it again nor how to describe it in a way we could lookup what the solution is. It was seldom enough that we didn't make much effort to figure it out. But now that's solved. Thank you. Also I realized that the home button understands a tap as distinct from a press and I didn't realize it could do that.
I think you must be Apples best salesman! As a long time (very long time) Nexus and Pixel user I find your videos exceptionally informative to the point of actually making me want to potentially swap to and iPhone 15 Pro. Keep the superb videos coming.
Great video. You miss one very useful feature called “Search for text in all your photos”. Open “Spotlight Search” by dragging down on home screen. And type in a text to search for - in result list you will see photos containing the text (among other results). When opening one of the photos found - the matching text will be highlighted with yellow in the photo. For some reason this feature only works in “Spotlight Search” and not in “Search” feature in Album app. And this feature requires a newer iPhone (it does not work on iPhone 8) You will be surprised how good it is to find text in all of your own photos
I love the way this gentleman explains things. He’s not rushing as if he were going to a fire and he is very detailed. Thank you.
Couldnt agree more he is great 👍
And no background music intruding on the video!
@@danielmuenchau9006 actually there is background music but I agree with the comments on him.
I agree. Simple to understand suggestions, delivered at just the right speed. So refreshing - and unusual! Thank you.
He doesn't drag, or chatter needlessly either ☺️

Loved this video! Just wanted to add - the iPhone can convert a screenshot or document or picture to pdf without need for a pdf converter. Simply select the item, select print, tap on the preview and pinch inward to create a PDF
Nice! Thanks!
I just tried it and it doesn't seem to work if your phone isn't connected to an actual printer...
true I discover that yesterday lol then I want to send letter in site without screenshoot . just as u said print then pdf

Plant identification perfect first time
The guided access trick is also useful if you want to be able to trace anything on paper - essentially you can turn your iPad into a lightbox.
That's a clever use for it that I'd not considered!
@@ProperHonestTech my phone does not do what you offer
@@StormyDay If you follow the steps given in the video about guided access, you can stop the screen being touch sensitive.

Great tips
Identifying Music - I can ask Siri to ID music. And the Apple watch. - While I'm in the car, I can ask my watch to ID a song on the radio - it's amazing how well it works.
Wish My baseline iPhone 13 had LiDAR. Pressing the + icon to capture all relevant measurement information is really cool.
Well it’s working on baseline iPhone 13. I’ve tested it again since, and discovered it works. Cool tips. Thanks
Had no idea about “guided access”. Thank you!
Also, reachability feature doesn’t work within apps.
Fantastic tips! The translate text is invaluable indeed
Very useful information, thanks for sharing.

Instead of turning on Reachability I now know to turn it off. Would often trigger as I tried to get to notifications.
I do not back up photos to iCloud so identify feature doesn’t work. I assume that is why.
Great information, so l subscribed!

As a long time (very long time) Nexus and Pixel user I find your videos exceptionally informative to the point of actually making me want to potentially swap to and iPhone 15 Pro.
Keep the superb videos coming.
Can you do a video on the scroll control. What to do with white button. The button seems to work in one direction only. Thanks.
Once again, quite excellent. You explain things well. Ty.
Great video. You miss one very useful feature called “Search for text in all your photos”.
Open “Spotlight Search” by dragging down on home screen. And type in a text to search for - in result list you will see photos containing the text (among other results). When opening one of the photos found - the matching text will be highlighted with yellow in the photo.
For some reason this feature only works in “Spotlight Search” and not in “Search” feature in Album app.
And this feature requires a newer iPhone (it does not work on iPhone 8)
You will be surprised how good it is to find text in all of your own photos
