Is wrestling with the tiny cursor to make text changes giving you a headache? 

Here's a Cool Tip.  Use the hidden power of the three-finger tap.

What is the Three-Finger Tap?

The three-finger tap is a convenient iOS gesture that brings up a handy editing toolbar.  

This toolbar usually offers actions like:

• Cut
• Copy
• Paste
• Undo
• Redo

Here's how to do it. 

1. Open any app where you can edit text (Notes, Messages, email, etc.)
2. Tap into a text field.
3. Tap one time on the screen with three fingers.
4. The editing toolbar will appear above your text selection.

fig. 1 - iPhone Three Finger Tap

This gesture is a must-know productivity shortcut for iPhone users.

It streamlines workflows, especially if you do a lot of editing on your iPhone.

After performing a three-finger tap, a single tap on the side of the screen will usually dismiss the toolbar.

The three-finger tap is a lesser-known but incredibly useful iPhone gesture.  

Whether you're a writer, student, or everyday texter, adding this shortcut to your toolbox will supercharge your editing game, saving you time and frustration.

Ready to streamline your iPhone editing? 

Start using the three-finger tap today and see the difference!

Can Your AirPods Amplify Your World?

Ever found yourself straining to hear conversations in a crowded restaurant or struggled to catch the dialogue in your favorite movie? 

Could you not hear the daily special or did you miss the punchline?

Have you ever wondered if your Apple AirPods could amplify sounds or boost the sounds around you? 

Millions of people face these situations daily. 

But what if there was a discreet, convenient solution tucked away in your pocket? 

Here's a Cool Tip.  Use your Apple AirPods with Live Listen.

The Live Listen feature transforms your iPhone or iPad into a microphone, amplifying surrounding sounds and sending them straight to your AirPods. 

Here's how to do it.

• Wear your AirPods, and make sure they’re connected to your device.
• Open Control Center on your device (swipe down from the top right),
• Tap the Hearing button.

• Tap Live Listen.

fig. 1 - Select Live Listen

• Position your device near the sound source and enjoy clearer conversations, whether at dinner or during presentations.

fig. 2 - Live Listen Amplifies Sounds

• If you don’t see the Hearing button, add it to Control Center—go to Settings  > Control Center, then choose Hearing.

This tip is not a replacement for medical hearing aids. 

For significant hearing loss, consult a professional!

While not a true medical solution, Apple AirPods offer surprising functionalities for those with mild hearing loss. 

They're a handy, accessible way to boost everyday sounds and enrich your world. 

So, the next time you reach for your AirPods, remember: they might just hold the key to hearing life a little louder and clearer.

Enjoy!

Stop the Hovering Hints: How to Turn Off Inline Text Predictions on iPhone

Have you ever tap out a text and feel like your iPhone is reading your mind a little too closely? 

Those hovering word suggestions hovering above your keyboard - the ones you accidentally tap all the time - are called inline text predictions. 

While helpful in theory, they can sometimes be more distracting than insightful.

Tired of the unwanted auto-complete?

fig. 1 - Inline Predictive Text Example

Here's  Cool Tip.  Turn off Inline Text Prediction in iOS 17.

Here's how to do it.

• Update your iPhone to the latest version of iOS (17.2).
• Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
• Scroll down and tap "General."
• Tap "Keyboard." (You might need to tap "Keyboard Settings" on older iPhones.)
• Under "Predictive Text," toggle off the "Show Predictions Inline" switch.

fig. 2 - iPhone Inline Predict Text Setting

That's it!

No more accidentally tapping the wrong suggestion or fighting against the auto-complete.

So, say goodbye to the unwelcome word whispers and hello to a clean, distraction-free typing experience. 

By taking a few simple steps, you can reclaim your keyboard and unleash your inner wordsmith (without any unwanted autocomplete interference).

Protect Your Privacy. How to Disable NameDrop on iPhones

Have you recently updated your iPhone to iOS 17.

Did you notice a new feature called NameDrop? 

Are you curious about what it does and how it can affect your privacy? 

NameDrop is a new feature introduced in iOS 17 that allows iPhone users to share their contact details simply by holding their iPhones close to each other. 

Here's a Cool Tip.  You can Disable the Feature.

It’s designed to make sharing contact information quick and effortless. 

But like any feature, it has its pros and cons.

For most users, this is an unneeded feature.

Here's how to disable NameDrop

• Open the Settings app.
• Tap General.
• Tap AirDrop.
• Toggle the switch next to Bringing Devices Together on or off.

The primary benefit of NameDrop is convenience. 

It eliminates the need to manually type in contact details, making the process of sharing information faster and more efficient.

However, many users have privacy concerns. 

Many police departments around the country warned residents to turn this new feature off.

Although NameDrop requires both parties to agree before any information is shared, the feature could potentially be triggered accidentally. 

If you’re worried about this, you can choose to disable NameDrop.

And if it's not a concern to you, leave it on!

That's it.
