Your iPad and iPhone can now auto-fill those SMS verification codes - here's how

At iTandCoffee, our strong recommendation to all clients and subscribers is to, wherever possible, set up an extra layer of protection for any online accounts. This extra layer of protection is called two-step-verification or two-factor-authentication.

While this adds a level of comfort when it comes to security of your accounts, it can be annoying to have go and get the code that is sent to you as an SMS, and then enter it as part of the account login process.

Your iPhone and iPad is now an amazing measuring tool

Have you upgraded to iOS 12 (which is now up to iOS 12.0.1 after a 'patch' release.)

iOS 12 has delivered a great new app for the iPad and iPhone, one that allows you to measure surfaces, objects and rooms.

Having completed your measuring, you can then take a photo that includes the measurements - like the photo I show here of a cabinet in our living room.

We cover this new app - and how to use it in this week's handy hint for iTandCoffee Club members.

A really handy feature of iOS 12 makes editing your text much easier

I have been regularly making use of a really handy feature of iOS 12 - available on iPad and iPhone. It is a feature that was previously only available to those who had an iPhone 6s or newer, and wasn't previously available at all on the iPad.

Watch this short video to find out more.

iOS 12 has arrived with some great new features - but make sure you do a backup before you install it.

Tuesday 18th September brought the arrival of iOS 12 for Apple Mobile Devices, and it has a great set of new features. Of particular note are

The new Screen Time set of options for managing your own and you child's screen time and app/website usage.
Performance improvements that will breath new life into a slow device.
New Do Not Disturb options of 'one hour', 'until this evening', and 'until I leave this location'.
Siri Shortcuts - allowing you to set up series of instructions that can be activated with a single phrase
A new Measure app that allow you to measure sizes and distances.
A revamped Books app (replacing iBooks)
Fun new 'Memojis' if you have an iPhone X series phone. Here's a quick one I did for myself!

Here's how you can stop your child from changing their device password (and recording their fingerprint on your own)!

One of the frustrations I hear from parents all the time is that they wish they could stop their child from changing the passcode on the child's iPad, iPhone or iPod touch.

Not only does it prevent the parent from doing any 'spot checks' of the child's usage of the device, but we regularly deal with situations where the child changes the passcode to keep Mum and Dad out, and then forgets the passcode! This means the device has to be completely wiped, which may result in the loss of photos, app data and more.

Amazing new Parental Controls are coming to Apple mobile devices - and here's how to learn about them

What a great group of staff and parents at the Keeping kids safe on iPhone, iPad & iPod Touch workshop, held at Hartwell Primary School last week. Thank to everyone who came along.

We talked about the great new Parental Controls that will be released for Apple mobile devices in September (and lots of other essential information for parents).

We so regularly hear from parents who were left terrified by what they heard at a previous Cybersafety session, but came away from that session not knowing how implement the necessary controls on their child's device/s.

The feedback we get at the end of our workshop is always so positive - that the practical information provided fills the gap left by these other CyberSafety information sessions.
