Siri activates on my Apple Watch when water is running nearby

Picture
This is something that happens regularly.

When I am washing my hands, or just have the tap running, Siri will suddenly activate and say 'she' can't understand what I am saying.

It seems that Siri hears the words 'Hey Siri' in the running water.

Ever wonder what CAPTCHA stands for?

Picture
It's almost impossible to say, and most people would have no clue what it stands for. I'm talking about the phrase CAPTCHA.

Here's what it stands for, and how you can learn more about it (in case you are interested!).

A feature of iOS 16 that I didn't think I'd be interested in - but now love it

Picture
One of the many features of the new iOS 16 operating system for iPhone is the ability to customise your Lock Screen and set up different Lock Screens.

I didn't think that this would be a feature that I would pay much attention to, but I have found that I really love it. I have created multiple Lock Screens with some favourite photos, ​and can easily switch between them.

Here's a preview of this feature, and a handy hint tutorial that goes through how to set it up.

September's User Group Video is now available

Picture
We had a great turn-out for our September User Group, held on Zoom.

Here are the topics we discussed in the hour:
  • Google Photos on the iPhone or iPad - why does it show all my device photos and how do I stop it uploading them all to Google
  • How do I save Google Photos that someone else sends - to my iPad/iPhone Photos.
  • What is the 'unique password' message I get on websites?
  • A look a the new Photos feature of iOS 16 - duplicates identification, extract people/objects from photos, Hidden album needs authentication
  • How to separate a shared iCloud account
  • How to stop the 'Live Photo' setting from coming back on when I turn it off
  • A handy feature of Live Photo - choose the key photo from a selection of frames
  • How to reset the fingerprint of the device when it stops working
  • Google maps sound in car keeps 'hanging up' phone
  • Why is there a 'system resources are low' message in Zoom on Windows 10 and poor audio?
  • How to make sure that Messages deleted on my iPhone are also deleted on my iPad
  • Outlook on Windows PC is not showing all my emails - it is only showing those with attachments. (Tip. It will have a filter that needs to be turned off.)

Why I nearly tapped this scam text's link!

Picture
​The above images shows a text I received this morning.

Co-incidence so often catches us out with scam texts, emails and calls - and this one nearly caught me.

I had recently taken a trip on the freeway and wasn't sure if I heard the 'beep' from my Linkt device when I went through the toll sensors. So I wasn't surprised to see a text like this.

How to close all Safari pages at once. And why you don't need to do the same with Apps

Picture
A regular iTandCoffee Client yesterday expressed concern that she hadn't 'closed all her iPad apps' lately, and she was worried that this was a problem for her device's performance.

She was also concerned about the number of Safari Tabs she had open, and that it was tedious to close them one-by-one.

I reassured her there was no need to worry about closing any apps on the iPad or iPhone and that, in fact, this is actually counter-productive. And showed her a quick and easy way to close all open tabs in Safari.

New products announced by Apple in Sept 2022 - iPhones, Watches, AirPods Pro

Picture
You most likely saw the press announcements this past week about this one! Apple announced some new products on September 8th -
  • a new iPhone series, iPhone 14
  • new Apple Watches (Series 8 and Watch Ultra) 
  • new AirPods Pro.

Also announced the upcoming availability of iOS 16 on September 13th - see our separate article on this.

No announcements were made on new model iPads - this is rumoured for October, when Apple will most likely also announce the release of iPadOS 16.

Here is some information about the new products - including pricing and suggestions on what device might be best for you.

How to avoid paying a fortune for all those Streaming services

Picture
If you are like us, you probably have a subscription to at least one streaming service. In fact, our current set is Netflix, Prime Video, Binge, and Apple TV. During COVID lockdown times, we also had Stan and Paramount+.

All those streaming services can add up to quite a sizeable monthly bill.

So there is an approach I now take with these services to avoid unnecessary charges.

New version of iPhone Operating system (iOS 16) arrives Tuesday - but don't rush to install it

Picture
I you hadn't already noticed, Apple releases a major upgrade to the 'operating system' that runs everything on our iPhones (called iOS). Around this time of year, they also concurrently release a major upgrade to the operating systems running our iPads (iPadOS) and Macs (macOS). 

They will usually also usually announce the imminent arrival of a new iPhone model at this time of year.

In line with this, on September 8th (AEDT), Apple announced that iOS 16 for iPhones will be available on September 13th (AEDT).

(It also announced the next model of iPhones, the iPhone 14 series, and new AirPods and Apple Watches. We talk about in the new product announcements in a separate article.)

Here's why you should not rush into downloading and installing iOS 16 on September 13th (or soon after).
