In this post, I will show you how to collaborate with others on the same note through iCloud, directly from your iPhone.
This tip is useful if you’re using Notes to:
Create your shopping list
Plan small trips and holidays
Organise family reunions or friend parties
Collect ideas for projects like house improvement
Save / store recipes either your own or found online
… and want other people to stay in the loop and be able to edit the note by adding attachments or checking off to-do items.
In this post, I will show you how to find out the exact time at which a specific message was sent or received.
By default, the Messages app groups conversations together and provide a unique timestamp, even when replies are tens of minutes apart from each other.
There is a simple way to reveal the exact time for each specific message on your Apple devices.
In this post, I will show you how to mute unknown senders in Messages.
This tip is useful if you don't want to receive a notification when someone not in your contacts list (most probably a spammer) sends you an iMessage.
It's important to understand that only iMessages are concerned; SMS messages cannot be muted, unless the sender has been explicitly blocked (as explained in my previous post).
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:
