March 17, 2023AppleKelsey Jezbera
Most of us rely on Messages every day to text with family, friends, and colleagues.

Protect Your iPhone Passcode by Using Face ID or Touch ID

March 16, 2023AppleKelsey Jezbera
This is troubling. Joanna Stern and Nicole Nguyen of the Wall Street Journal have published an article (paywalled) and accompanying video that describes attacks on hundreds of iPhone users in major cities throughout the United States. Some attacks involve drugging people in bars or even violence, but the most avoidable involve the thief or a...

A Practical Guide to Identifying Phishing Emails

March 15, 2023AppleKelsey Jezbera
Phishing is becoming an ever more common way for people to get in trouble when using the Internet. A phishing attack is some communication, usually an email, that tries to lure you into revealing login credentials, financial information, or other confidential details. A State of Phishing report from security firm SlashNext claims that there were...

Is Your Wi-Fi Network a Security Risk?

March 8, 2023AppleKelsey Jezbera
With Wi-Fi security, it’s easy to fall into the “out of sight, out of mind” trap. Your Wi-Fi router probably lives in a corner or closet, and of course, Wi-Fi’s radio waves are invisible. But the ease of connecting your devices to your Wi-Fi network means it’s equally as easy for a hacker to connect...

What’s the Difference between Removing and Deleting an App?

March 1, 2023Apple, iPadKelsey Jezbera

There are many reasons you might want to get rid of apps from your iPhone or iPad. To begin, touch and hold on a blank spot on a Home Screen to enter “jiggle mode.” Then tap the ⊝ icon for any app to see the question about whether to delete the app entirely or merely…

What Is Google Web & App Activity, and Should You Leave It Enabled?

February 21, 2023AppleKelsey Jezbera
Earlier this year, some of our clients received an email from Google reminding them that they have Web & App Activity turned on. Those with a healthy dose of caution were concerned that it might be a phishing attack, but no, it’s legitimate. Their next questions were often, “Wait, what is Web & App Activity,...

It’s Time to Try Dictation in iOS 16 and iPadOS 16

February 20, 2023Apple, iPadKelsey Jezbera

Apple has long provided a microphone button in the keyboard to invoke dictation on the iPhone and iPad. But, it wasn’t always easy to hit, and you had to switch back to the keyboard to fix the inevitable mistakes. (Apple’s dictation is a huge timesaver but far from perfect, particularly with homonyms and proper nouns.)…

Use Quick Look to Preview Spotlight Results in Ventura

February 8, 2023Apple, MacKelsey Jezbera

When you search using Spotlight on the Mac, it provides a decent amount of information about each result, including name and other metadata. But what if you want to see what’s behind the search result? In macOS 13 Ventura, Apple added Quick Look support to Spotlight so you can easily preview the search results. Do…

You Can Now Upgrade to macOS 13 Ventura When You’re Ready

February 7, 2023Apple, MacKelsey Jezbera

When upgrading to a new version of macOS, we err on the side of caution, at least in our recommendations. (We’ve been using macOS 13 Ventura for some time now and often install beta releases on secondary machines for testing purposes.) Upgrading is easy, but if you upgrade too soon, the new macOS version could…

You Can Use Face ID in iOS 16 on Newer iPhones When You’re Lying on Your Side

February 7, 2023AppleKelsey Jezbera

If you’ve ever tried to use Face ID to unlock an iPhone while lying on your side in bed, you may have noticed that it didn’t work. That’s because Face ID used to require that the iPhone be upright, in portrait mode. In iOS 16, however, Apple has improved Face ID so it will unlock…
