Call Screening on iPhone with iOS 26

Call Screening on iPhone with iOS 26

iOS 26 gives iPhone users a smarter way to handle unwanted calls. The new Call Screening feature lets your phone ask unknown callers to identify themselves so you can see who’s calling and why before you decide to answer.

How many times this week did your iPhone ring with a number you didn't recognize?

And how many of those calls were legitimate?

If you are like most professionals, educators, or entrepreneurs today, that ratio is heavily skewed toward telemarketers, automated messages, and outright spam.

Our phones have become essential tools, yet they are constantly hijacked by noise, eroding our focus and costing us valuable time.

Here's a Cool Tip: Call Screening on the iPhone with iOS 26.

Have you ever opened a file thinking it was a harmless document, only to realize it was something else entirely?

That tiny “.exe” or “.pdf” at the end of a filename isn’t just decoration.

It’s the digital equivalent of a food label.

And yet, Windows 11 hides these extensions by default, leaving users to guess what they’re dealing with.

For business users, educators, and anyone juggling dozens of files a day, that’s a recipe for confusion or worse, a security risk.

Meta Vibes: Meta’s New Playground for AI-Generated Videos

Meta Vibes: Meta’s New Playground for AI-Generated Videos

Meta just dropped Vibes, a dedicated feed inside the Meta AI app (and at meta.ai) where every video is AI-generated. You can browse, remix, or build videos and share them across Facebook/Instagram. This Cool Tip cuts through the hype to show what’s real, what’s experimental, and what’s useful (or not) for everyday creators.

Imagine opening your Meta AI app and seeing a Reels-style feed but none of the content is human-shot.

Instead, every video is born from a prompt.

No actors, no live filming, just AI weaving visuals, music, and style.

Here's a Cool Tip: Try Meta Vibes.

The feed feels like wandering through an art gallery run by a robot.

Some clips were oddly beautiful; most were gloriously bizarre.

It’s intriguing, weird, slightly off-balance, and worth a closer look for creators, social strategists, and anyone watching where AI is pushing the limits of social media content.
