Wi-fi assist was introduced in iOS 9 to help improve your internet connectivity when you were connected to wi-fi but not getting a great connection. The idea is that it uses your mobile or cellular connection to keep you connected. However, it could be using up your data allowance so it might be a good idea to switch it off. By the way, I had this switched off and then when I upgraded to iOS 10 it was switched on again, so if you upgrade please check this.

If you are using the iCloud Photo Library and you want to get a video from your computer to your iOS device like your iPad, iPad Pro, iPhone or iPod touch so you can use them in apps like iMovie or to share using Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and other apps. To do this you need to load the video into the correct place on your computer. This works on both Mac and PC although they work slightly differently. If you are not using iCloud Photo Library then here is a video I did on how to do that by syncing by connecting to your computer. https://youtu.be/DRFPPTqWibI To setup iCloud and the Photo Library on your Windows PC then here is a link to the Apple support page for it https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT205323 http://www.jargonfreehelp.com shows us how.

The new Maps app in iOS 9 now shows you more than before including public transport information so you can see where bus stops, train stations and other travel options. But what is really useful in addition to this is they show you routes, route numbers, train lines and the times for these services so you can see when the next bus or train is due, it also shows you any that are coming after that if there are any due shortly after. This also works well for the London Underground, the Tube and if you have wifi on the underground then you can see updates whilst you wait and perhaps choose another route. Another great update is the Notes app in iOS 9, check out the video here https://youtu.be/2MvjIWgCSdw Created by Gary Schwartz from http://www.jargonfreehelp.com

Most people think you can only do a panorama photo on your iPhone or any other smartphone you think of using going left to right or right to left,. Panos can also be done top to bottom or vice versa. This is great for getting tall buildings or anything else that lends itself to a vertical pano. In the photo in this demo the sky looked amazing and I wanted to capture the clouds. However, you will see I went in a 180 degree arc and captured more than I bargained for. If you want to see more then check out my website http://www.jargonfreehelp.com

One of the things I hadn't anticipated when I got a iPhone 11 Pro was how WhatsApp would work having two numbers in the same device. As it happens it just picked up the one number, which was the personal number on this occasion. I could have changed it to my work number but opted to keep it personal and check the work one on another device. But this defeated the purpose of getting a smartphone with two SIM cards. Initially I looked at other apps that do also have the ability to allow me to connect to WhatsApp but wanted something I could trust. I also used the web version but that wasn't as convenient. Then WhatsApp brought out their business version of the app and that solved my problem.

DoubleTake is a great app if you are in to filmmaking. You can use two cameras at the same time on your iPhone to record with two different cameras. That means you can film with your front and back camera at the same time, useful for a lot of things including interviews. If you have more than one camera on the back you can use two of these so you get two angles at the same time. Why not record a wide and telephoto version at the same time. This works on the iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 12 and iPhone 13. This is useful for teaching, recording concerts, performances and more. With the iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max you can now record in ProRes. By the way, I used the Rode Wireless Go II microphone when recording outside. What is useful is that it records on to the microphone so I didn't need to plug it into the iPhone, although I could have it would have unbalanced the gimbal. However, even if plugged into the iPhone or camera it is a useful backup. Link below if you are interested.

Have you done any editing in the photo app on your iPhone, iPad or Mac then you might have noticed a setting called brilliance. Now I use Lightroom for a lot of my photographic processing but there isn't an option there for brilliance, so I wondered what it did.

We have these incredible devices we carry around in our pockets, it's a portable photo studio that has a camera and editing software. In my case it is an iPhone and after I have taken a photo I want to edit it. I can do this easily using the built-in photo app on my iPhone, iPad or Mac. And like a lot of other software such as Adobe Lightroom it is non-destructive. What does that mean? Well if you make changes to the photo it does not change the original and you can always go back to that original. Even if you crop it. In this video I talk about a setting that I don't have in Lightroom so I have done a video all about that, although I touch on it in this video.

Multiple timers have been available on the Apple Watch for some time and I wondered when they would introduce them to the iPhone. It is so useful if you have a number of things on the go, such as making dinner. Cooking is just one example of how it can be used. One of the things about it is if you use Siri to set a timer then you can add a label so you know what the time is for, like put dinner on. In this videos I show you how to use it.
