Episode 41: A different way to look at things.

Looking for specific word in an article or web page on your iPhone or iPad? Type the word in the search bar and scroll down to where it says “On This Page”. When you click on the word, it will highlight the word on the screen. Use the navigation buttons to find the next match.

Photo Album: Send multiple photos
Looking through your photo album, did you know you can send more than one photo at a time? From your Photo Album, click on the Print/Send icon (looks like an arrow coming out of a box) and select up to 5 photos. Choose “Share” and then Email. *Note, when you send more that one group, it will hae the same file names...photo1.jpg, photo2.jpg, etc.

Google Map: Street view
Did you know when looking up a place in “Maps” you can switch to street view? Street view puts you on the street, like you are standing in front of the place you are looking for. Pan around to help you find landmarks to help you get to your location. When you click on the pin and the info bar pops up. If it show an orange person icon, click on that to see the street view.

Deleting items: You can swipe in either directions
Looking at some of you delete items, is like watching someone conduct an orchestra. Your fingers or stylus are moving from right to left and circling back to click delete. Try moving left to right and straight down to delete.

I hope to have more tips for you next year as we countdown to the new year (“you know, there’s an app for that”). Be safe during the holiday break and remember if you have a tip, share it with the world (or group)… It’s cheaper than a gift card.  : )
