In this post, I will show you how to quickly access old e-mails while composing a new one on your iPhone.
This tip is useful when you realise that you need to look up or copy/paste some information from another e-mail after you just started typing.
Please note that to take advantage of this feature, your iPhone needs to run at least iOS 9.
The trick consist in
In this post, I will show you how to quickly swap e-mail recipients between the To: and Cc: fields when replying to all in Mail on your iPhone.
When you hit "Reply All", the sender's e-mail address will be put in the To: field and the recipients that were in the Cc: field will remain there.
Did you know that you can very easily swap recipients between those fields?
In this post, I will show you how to restrict email notifications for only a select group of people, called VIPs, on your iPhone.
This tip is useful if you want to:
remove all email notifications except for VIPs
quickly access email conversations from a small group of people
be able to customise email notifications for loved ones or important relatives
What is even better is that the VIP list is synchronised across multiple devices via iCloud.
In this post, I will show you how to configure and act upon notifications on your iPhone.
Both built-in and third-party applications can notify us of new or updated information via a combination of
sound (the ding that you hear when a new email arrives)
badges (the red number on the top right corner of an app’s icon)
on the Lock Screen and Notification Centre
on the Home screen or within an app via banners, which exist in 2 forms:
Temporary (the banner goes away automatically within 5 to 10 seconds)
Persistent (an action is required for the banner to go away)
In this post, I will show you how to silence notifications and even calls on your Apple devices for a limited amount of time.
Don’t get me wrong, I love being notified of important emails, messages and reminders, yet there are times when I would love to get rid of them.
If you don’t know how to tweak the notification level/frequency on an app by app basis, I’ll show you in the next post.
Here, I’ll focus on temporarily blocking most of them with a single switch, called “Do Not Disturb”.
In this post, I will show you how to quickly reopen a recently closed tab in Safari on your iPhone.
In my previous post, you learned how to quickly clean up all opened tabs, which is great but what if you were too quick or need to reopen one?
Apple has thought about this and here’s how to do it:
In this post, I will show you how to navigate quicker through the page history in Safari (approx. 1 minute reading time).
When you want to go through the history of a particular tab in Safari, you usually click or tap multiple times on the icons which looks like "<" and ">" (top left on a Mac and iPad or bottom left on iPhone) until you reach the page that you're looking for.
But did you know that you can easily have access to the complete navigation history for this page?
In this post, I will show you how to quickly access relevant information via the Today view.
One way to assess our efficiency is what I call the 10 seconds rule which goes like this: "Can you find, in 10 seconds or less, what you’re looking for?”
This rule applies to physical (paper clips, scissors, …) and digital (a folder, a document, an app, information like the weather, …) things.
Since iOS 7, Apple has been gradually implementing and improving features that allow us to access information more efficiently, and one of those is the Today view.
Today, I’ll show you how to quickly launch applications and even perform calculations with Spotlight.
In case you don’t know Spotlight, it’s the built-in search tool available on your Mac, iPhone & iPad.
Since it can find any file very quickly, Spotlight can be used to launch applications, even those that are hidden anywhere on your device.
Did you know that it's possible to remove an app while keeping its documents and data intact with iOS 11?
As explained in my previous post, this feature is called app offloading.
It allows to temporarily save local storage space on your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch, without losing any data along the way.
This is especially useful for devices with only 8 GB or 16 GB of local storage space.
Apple released iOS 11 on September 19th.
If you stayed on the sidelines, you did well.
Indeed, early releases of a brand new operating system invariably brings a few bugs along.
This is why it’s usually wise to wait at least for the second point release.
Still wondering whether you should upgrade your iPhone to iOS 11?
Well, you are not alone asking this question.
My goal with this post is to help you make a decision.
Sean Arenas asked the following question on Quora:
Can I sync photo albums and choose which ones to sync if I enable iCloud storage on my iPhone and Mac?
The short answer is "possibly" and it depends from two factors:
