A great feature of the Camera app on the iPhone that now has been enhanced further in iOS 15

I am in the process of preparing a series of videos about the new features of iOS 15, and these will be featured over the upcoming days and weeks.

There is one feature that I found myself using today - and it relates to the Quick Take Video feature that arrived in iOS 14. Have you discovered that feature?

This one is up there as one of my favourite new features of iOS 15!

It is the ability to adjust a photo's metadata - including the Date Taken - from within the photos app.

Why is this so important?

Here's the video from the September Technology User Group

I have heard the following comment a few times this week: You don't know what you don't know.

That's where our Monthly User Groups are so great. You are guaranteed to learn something new - and it is often something so useful in your day-to-day use of your technology, or it may solve a problem that you hadn't even realised you had.

It was a great turn-out for the September User Group on 17/9/21 - it was lovely to see some new faces. And, as usual, there were lots of laughs.

Here's the list of topics that the participants raised for discussion:

Here's a new idea - for learning about the iPad and iPhone

A couple of months ago, we published our latest book about the iPad and iPhone - called Introduction to the iPad and iPhone - A Guided Tour.

I have now started recording some videos that talk about the content of this book and demonstrate the iPad and iPhone features that it describes, working through the guide section by section.

I'd love to know what you think of the first couple of videos that have been recorded - and let me know if you would be interested in more of these videos.

So here are the first two for all readers to check out. Please us a comment below to let us know what you think, and whether we should keep going with recording of these videos.

Checking retrospectively how long your Zoom Meeting went for and who attended

I'm not sure how many of you will need this, but I regularly need to go back and check how long a Zoom Meeting went for.

For other meetings, I sometimes need to go back and see the list of people who attended.

I do this by visiting the Zoom website. Here's where to find the relevant option and information.

On Facebook, are you giving away identity info, answers to secret questions, and passwords?

Every day on Facebook, I see the posts that are seeking to steal information from my Facebook Friends.

The posts look innocent enough - perhaps even fun. Quizzes where you share information about yourself with your friends or prove how good your memory is.

And I see my Facebook Friends getting caught out by these posts, and 'joining in the fun'.

But here's why you should never engage with posts like this - why they can be very dangerous.
