Your iPhone’s
iOS 15 Apps.
One of the best things about the iPhone is
the amazing range of apps that come
bundled with its operating system, iOS 15.
You can send and receive emails with
Mail, surf the web with Safari, find your
way around with Maps, and more. Several
apps get some great new features in iOS
15. Look out for hashtags in Notes and
Reminders, some awesome new
FaceTime features and a great way of
using Maps to find your way around. The
Weather app has had an upgrade too,
offering far more information than before.

Your iPhone’s Built-in Apps
Maps App
For Navigation
Maps is a superb navigational tool. Making great use of the iPhone’s
location awareness, it gives an accurate map of your location, shows
directions to where you want to go and helps you find local amenities.
Maps in Focus
DTap the folded map icon
for a pop-up window,
where you can switch
between four map types;
Explore, Driving, Public
Transport and Satellite view
HTap this arrow icon to focus
the map on your current
location. Tap it again and the
map rotates as you move, so the
direction your travelling is always
‘up’. A third tap returns it to its
default function.
The blue dot shows your
current location on the
map and the direction you’re
facing. The smaller the blue
circle around it, the more
accurate the location is.
Use the search bar found
here to look for a location
or nearby feature; we looked
for Fast Food. Tap the Search
field without typing anything for
a list of recent searches and
popular search options such
as Petrol Stations, Restaurants,
Shops and Bars.
Current weather
information is shown
here. Go to Settings > Maps
and turn on Air Quality Index
and this is then shown here
too. Deep press on this data
for a window showing more
weather information, drawn
from the Weather app.
The ‘X’ icon collapses the
bottom window panel,
giving you a better look at the
main map screen; or you can
simply swipe it down.
Use these buttons to filter
and fine-tune your search,
for example, restricting a
search to specific fast food
outlets, and changing how
they’re sorted.
We’re looking for fast
food, so nearby burger
and pizza places are shown
here. The list offers information
on the establishments shown
on the map. Tap one, on the
panel here or on the map for
more details.
A word of warning.
A Like any sat-nav, Maps is not infallible.
It’s up to you to make sure you follow
road signs and the road laws. By all
means follow the Maps app but don’t
neglect your basic road skills.

Enter the name of the place you want
to go to, in the Search field at the foot
of the screen. Choose the destination option
you’re looking for if necessary, and then tap
the blue button showing an estimated
journey time. Alternative routes are then
shown as lighter blue lines: switch between
routes by tapping one.
2
If your starting point isn’t your current
whereabouts, tap My Location at the
top of the sidebar and change it. You also
can change your intended mode of
transport using the icons near the top of the
on-screen window. These icons are for (in
turn) driving, walking, public transport,
cycling and sharing rides.
3
Scroll the bottom panel up for a link
to options for the transport mode
you’ve chosen. For example, Driving
Options lets you plan your journey,
avoiding toll roads or motorways. When
ready, tap the green Go button. Your ETA,
estimated travel time and total distance are
displayed at the foot of the screen.

then tap Add a Stop. A list of options
appears, such as Fast Food, Petrol
Stations and Banks. Tap the option you
wish to stop for and a list of nearby
amenities appears. Choose one, tap Go
next to it and a new route is planned.
5
When you’ve done what it is you
stopped foe on the Maps screen, tap
the blue strip at the top labelled ‘Resume
Route to [Destination]’. The originally
planned route is resumed. Another option
available on the bottom panel is Share ETA.
Tap it to share your expected time of arrival
with friends and contacts.
6
If there’s a problem and you need to
change your route on the fly, tap the
chevron on the left of the bottom panel for
the options, and tap the End Route button.
You can then tap Directions to your
destination again on the next screen and
choose an alternative route when Maps
recalculates your journey.

Choose a destination, and tap the
train icon for public transport
routes. You can journey using more than
one method of public transport. Scroll the
window up and untick anything you’d
rather not use. Find the route you want
and tap its Go button.
3
You’re guided along your route just
like you were in the earlier tutorial
about Turn By Turn Navigation. You’re
instructed when to get on a train, where to
go from the station when you get off, which
bus to catch and more.
Q 16 minutes
Q Great Western Railway Train
2
Tap on a train or subway station
on the map for a pop-up showing
a list of forthcoming departures from
that station. Tap on a service for more
information. Transit and flight information
is now updated in real time, so check
back often for the latest information.
Buildings such as subway stations
have been carefully surveyed, so
Maps shows not only their location but
also all the entrances and exits to that
station. It can even show maps of their
indoor areas and features as well.
Cycling and
Electric Cars.
Two features that are gradually being
rolled out in Maps, but aren’t yet
available in all territories, are travelling by
bicycle and driving an electric car.
For cyclists, choosing a bike as your
mode of transport gives you route
planning that takes account of dedicated
cycle paths and road elevations. If there’s
a dedicated cycling route available, your
route plan will take you down it as an
alternative to using the road. And you’re
warned about big hills too, so there are
no nasty surprises on the way.
For those who drive an electric car, the
route planning features are largely the
same as they are for petrol cars, but for
fuel stops you’re shown recharging
stations along your journey instead of
petrol stations.
Unfortunately, both of these features are
limited to certain locations and journeys
at the moment, but they’ll roll out in other
territories with time.

More great Maps features
Traffic information.
When following a driving route, traffic information is incorporated into the route information,
so you know what to expect. For example, sections of your route where traffic jams are
expected are coloured red. Workman signs means there are scheduled roadworks
happening. Tap a workman icon and then tap the information icon for more details.
Features and Favourites
Type a location in the search field to find
it. This can be a town or city to which
you wish to travel, an address or
postcode you’re looking for, or a local
service or facility like a train station or a
museum. When looking for the latter, a
list of nearby establishments is given and
they’re located on the map.
3D features
In Satellite view, tap the 3D icon (top right) to switch to a 3D
perspective. Zoom in and out, and twist to explore, tap 2D to
return to a flat map. Also, after accessing a city’s details, if
there’s a button marked ‘Flyover’, you can tap it and watch a
3D flyover tour.
6 hours 34 minutes
Favourite locations are listed under the
search field. If you’ve identified your home
address in Contacts, that’s already there,
and you can add your work too. Tap Add to
add more locations to your favourites,
where they’re always to hand and easily
selected when using the Maps app. To add
a location or feature to your Favourites, tap
the three-dots icon near the top of the
guide, next to the blue button, and choose
Add to Favourites.
Guides.
Swipe up the information panel to see My Guides; groups of favourite places you’ve
saved for later use. By default, you have a Guide called My Places. Tap New Guide to
start a new one. Type a name for your Guide, then tap Create. You can then search
for and add as many locations as you like. Tap the Share icon and you can share the
entire collection with someone else too.

AR walking instructions
When using Maps on your iPhone or on
CarPlay, the 3D city maps have been
enhanced. New on-screen details make
things like turnings, bike lanes and
pedestrian crossings more apparent. On
public transport, nearby stations are
made clearer, and Maps lets you know
when you’ve arrived at your station.

If you have an iPhone with at least
an A12 chip (XS/XS Max/XR or
later), and are in a city where the service
is available, you can use augmented
reality to find your way around. After
inputting where you want to go, in the
application’s Street View, scan local
buildings with your iPhone.

Maps works out where you are
and superimposes walking
directions onto the screen as shown.
This feature will roll out in London, Los
Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, San
Diego, San Francisco Bay Area and
Washington DC by the end of 2021, with
other territories following.

With climate change and global warning, flash
floods are becoming more common. Thankfully,
the Maps app warns you of adverse weather
conditions such as this. If your route is likely to
take you through an area where a flood is
current or imminent, for example, you get a
weather warning and an alternative route that
avoids the problem. Tap one of these on-screen
warnings for more details of what the issue is,
and you’re shown the warning on the route on
which it occurs. Tap More on this warning, and
more information is offered. If you want to leam
even more about the problem, this screen will
offer a link to The Weather Channel.
All Around the World
The Maps app includes a beautiful
interactive globe which you can spin,
explore and zoom into on your iPhone. To
access the globe, simply open the Maps
app, and pinch until the map zooms out
so far that you can see the Earth as a
whole. Drag your finger around it to rotate
the globe in 360 degrees.

countries. Mountains, for example, are
located on the map. Tap one and you’re
shown information such as its elevation
above sea level and how long it is from
the bottom of the mountain to its summit.

Ever since the mysterious Off ™
which had been paid to our camp we
always returned to it with some misgiv-
ings. However, on this occasion we
found everything in order.
That evening we had a grand dis-
cussion upon our present situation and
future plans, which I must describe at
some length, as it led to a new depar-
ture by which we were enabled to gain
a more complete knowledge of Maple
White Land than might have come in
many weeks of e®4*ing. It was Sum-
merlec who opciJKMnc debate. All day
he had been querulous in manner, and
now some remark of Lord John's as to
what we should do on the morrow
brought all his bitterness to a head.
"What we ought to be doing to-day,
to-morrow, and all the time," said he,
"is finding some way out of the trap
into which we have fallen. You are all
turning your brains towards getting
into this country. 1 say that we should
be scheming how to get out of it."

To start a FaceTime conversation
from the Contacts app, first find the
contact card of the person you wish to call.
If that person’s email or phone number are
registered with FaceTime, you can see
FaceTime icons for both audio (the
telephone receiver) and video (the camera).
Tap one to make the call.
There are several ways of starting a
FaceTime call from the FaceTime
app. Tap the New FaceTime button (top
right). Add the name of the person you want
to call (or their phone number or email
address if they’re not in your Contacts), then
tap a button for either a video or audio
FaceTime call.
3
The FaceTime app also shows a list
of recent FaceTime calls, showing
whether they were audio or video. If you tap
one of these, you can make that same call
again. A name in red means the call was not
answered. If you tap the T to the right of the
name, you get their Contacts card within the
FaceTime app.
Portrait Video.
Hold the iPhone sideways and you can video chat in Landscape Mode, as shown. If you
have an iPhone XS or later, you can activate Portrait Mode, with the background blurred.
Just tap your own video feed, then tap the silhouette icon in the top-left corner to activate
and deactivate Portrait Mode. Tap the arrows icon to shrink your window again.

Windows &
Android.
It’s now possible to answer FaceTime
calls on Windows and Android devices.
You can’t download a FaceTime app
and initiate calls on those devices, but
when the Apple user is on at least iOS
15, iPadOS 15 or macOS Monterey,
FaceTime Links can be sent to
non-Apple devices and answered on
the Google Chrome web browser.
First of all, an Apple user needs to
make a link using the Create Link
button in FaceTime, then send it to the
Android or Windows user, probably by
email. When they get the link, they
need to open it in Chrome. They can
then join the FaceTime call in the usual
way, right from their browser.

FaceTime
Mic Modes.
There are new microphone modes to
choose from in FaceTime audio calls.
While in conversation, open the Control
Centre in the usual way and tap the Mic
Mode button. As well as the Standard
option, you can also opt for Voice
Isolation or Wide Spectrum. Voice
Isolation focuses the outgoing sound on
your own voice, cutting out ambient
noise in the background. During a
keynote demonstration, Apple
successfully conducted a FaceTime call
with a leaf blower being used in the
background. Wide Spectrum does
exactly the opposite, taking in sounds
from all around the room, and not just
your own voice. Just the thing if you
have music on that you want to share
over video chat, for example.
Spacial Audio
In order to make FaceTime video calls
seem more natural and comfortable, Apple
has incorporated a feature called Spacial
Audio into the app. This makes each
person’s speech seem to come from the
area of the screen where their video is
situated, making for a much more lifelike
and organic conversation.

Coming Soon: SharePlay
SharePlay is a brand new FaceTime
feature that was expected to launch with
iOS 15, iPadOS 15 and macOS Monterey,
but unfortunately, it has been delayed and
did not debut with the 2021 Apple
operating systems.
With SharePlay, you can get together with
your friends to watch a movie or listen to
an album together over FaceTime. When
listening to an album, for example, during a
FaceTime call you can press Play in Apple
Music. The album then plays for everyone
in the call on their own devices, with all of
the gear used playing the tracks in sync so
you don’t get an irritating echo. You’re still
connected in FaceTime, so you can chat
about the album as well as listen to it.
Anyone in the chat can add songs to a
queue too.
It works for movie night too. While on a
FaceTime call, launch a streaming app,
press Play and you and your friends are
watching the movie, again in sync so no
one’s stream is ahead or behind the
others. Once more, you’re still on the
FaceTime call, so you can chat about it as
you watch. With Picture in Picture mode,
you can even open another app such as
Safari and order a pizza while watching the
film. Best of all, if you have an Apple TV,
you can beam the movie to the big screen
while using FaceTime on your iPhone,
iPad or Mac without losing sync.
SharePlay will be included in future
releases of iOS 15, iPadOS 15 and
macOS Monterey. We can hardly wait.

The Clock app might not be the most spectacular feature on your iPhone
but it does a lot more than simply tell the time. With our guide, you can
set alarms, check the time in cities all over the world and even use it as a
stopwatch and countdown timer. Just the thing if you’re travelling light and
you don’t want to weigh yourself down by carrying a separate alarm clock.

Setting alarms
Tap the Alarm tab at the bottom of

your alarms. To set a new alarm, use the
'+’ icon (top right). This opens an Add
Alarm window. Use the two wheels to
pick a time for the alarm to sound. You
can also choose which days the alarm
plays, the sound, whether it can be
snoozed and what it’s called. When
you've set an alarm in the Clock app, an
alarm clock icon appears at the top of
the Home screen to show that it’s active.
2
You can set an alarm to repeat at
the same time on specific days of
the week or never repeat. To turn each
alarm on or off independently, tap the On/
Off button. Alternatively you can remove or
edit an alarm. Use Edit and either tap the
time you want to amend or the minus
button to delete that alarm from your
listings. A deleted alarm is permanently
lost, so if you need it again, turn it off
using the on-off switch mentioned earlier
and turn it on again later.
The Stopwatch
Tap Stopwatch at the foot of the screen.
Tap the green Start button to start the
stopwatch, then the red button that
replaces it to stop it again. The grey
Reset button on the left clears the
readout. While the stopwatch is running,
the grey button reads Lap. Tap this to
record the current time without stopping
the readout. This is great for recording
the time of each lap of a race, before
tapping Stop as the competitor crosses
the finish line.

iCloud Drive is Apple’s own cloud computing service and it comes free with
the iPhone. With iCloud Drive, you can sync your documents across all of
your Apple devices and even access them through a web browser; they’re
all found on your iPhone in the Files application. If your free space isn’t
enough, you can buy more for a set monthly fee.

Documents contained in your iCloud Drive are kept in sync across your devices. If you make a change on one device,
when you open that particular document on another, that change is already there. So, for example, you can work on a
document on your Mac at home, then edit it on your iPhone on the bus.

When you open an iCloud
document on your iPhone, it’s
downloaded to your smartphone. It then
opens in the usual way, so you can edit,
modify and generally work on the
document on your iPhone.

Edits and changes you make on
the iPhone are also made on the
cloud copy of the document. This means
if you edit it on the go on your phone,
then open it on your Mac at home, the
changes are there.
Tap and hold a document until you
get the pop-up menu. From here,
you can copy the document, duplicate it,
delete it, rename it, share it, move it to
another folder, and more. If you don’t see
all the options, scroll up and down.

Private Relay: When this is active, your
Safari browsing is encrypted and sent
through two separate Internet relays.
The user experience is the same, but
websites and snoopers are unable to
obtain your IP address or build a profile
of your web activities. Go to Settings >
[Your Name] > iCloud > Private Relay to

To use a photo with your iCloud

Go to Settings > [your name] >
iCloud for a list of apps that can be
kept in sync with iCloud. Switch on the
ones you want to sync. Their data and
settings are then kept synchronised with all
your Apple gear, so changes made on one
device are also applied on your others.
iCloud Private Relay keeps
your internet activity private
Private Relay hides your IP address and browsing
activity in Safari and protects your unencrypted
internet traffic so that no one — including Apple —
can see who you are or what sites you're visiting.

In the Settings app, after tapping

Your information is encrypted and cannot be read

Tap the Keychain link and you can
turn on the iCloud Keychain
service here. This stores things like
passwords, usernames and credit card
information; for example, when you log on
to an online forum, you won’t need to
keep typing your details every time.

Hide My Email: Go to Settings > [Your

create a unique email address to use
when you don’t want to reveal your
actual email address. Emails sent to this
new address are forwarded to your
Apple ID email address. You can delete
a Hide My Email address at any time,
and no longer receive emails sent to it.
Custom Email Domain: If you want to
customise your iCloud email address,
and allow family members to also use
this domain (the part of your email
address after the ‘@‘). So, for example,
if you run a bike shop you might prefer
to use fredbloggs@townbikestore.com
instead offredbloggs@icloud.com.
HomeKit Secure Video: Store video
footage from surveillance cameras on your
iCloud. This footage does not take up any
of your regular iCloud storage space.
Remember, to use these extra features
offered by iCloud+, you must be using a

Live Text
Pics to Words
Live Text is a great feature that lets your iPhone identify and copy editable
text from your environment, simply by pointing your camera at it. You can
also copy text from photographs you’ve already taken. When you’ve copied
the text, you can paste it into any app that uses editable words, such as
Notes, Mail, Messenger and more. You can even copy handwriting.
Using Live Text
1
Using the Camera app, point your
iPhone’s camera at a piece of text
or numerals, such as the picture here.
The text is identified, and a ‘page’ icon
appears in the bottom-right. Tap this icon.
2
The text is lifted, and a menu appears
giving you the chance to copy it,
select more text, look it up, translate it or
share it. You can also tap and drag to select
a portion of the text instead of all of it.
3
You can copy and paste it into any
app that uses text, or share it
directly to that app. It sometimes needs
a little editing, especially if the original
text is presented in an unusual font.

other Internet device online using your iPhone’s cellular connection.
First of all, open Settings > Mobile Data >
Personal Hotspot or Settings > Personal
Hotspot, depending on what version of iOS
you’re using. Make sure it’s switched on,
and Allow Others to Join is on. Make a note
of the Wi-Fi password, which you might
need later. Now you must connect the
device you wish to take online through your
iPhone, using Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or USB.

On the computer or tablet you wish to take
online, open your Wi-Fi settings and look
for the name of your iPhone in the list of
available networks. Connect to it, and use
the Wi-Fi password shown on your
iPhone’s screen; the one you made a note
of earlier. If you’re using an Apple device
logged into the same Apple ID as your
iPhone, the password might not be
necessary. A connection is made, and your
device can access the Internet using your
iPhone’s mobile data plan.

A Viewing Feature
You can now shut down a video page on your iPhone and continue
watching on a floating window, while using other apps. It works for regular
videos such as a website’s videos, the TV app and also when in a FaceTime
video call. It’s a great way to continue watching while doing something else
on your iPhone and it’s easy too. Here’s how it works.
While watching a video or in a
FaceTime video call, swipe the
screen up or tap the Home button to get
back to the Home screen. The video
continues to play in a floating window
on top of whatever is open on your
screen on your iPhone.
Tap screen for controls; play,
pause, 15 secs and scrub through
the video. Tap the video to hide and
show on-screen controls. The icon in the
middle lets you pause and play the
video and you can skip forward and
backward 15 seconds too.
Close window or back to full size
You can drag the floating window
into any corner of the screen. Tap the X
icon in the top-left to close it or tap the
Picture-in-Picture icon in the top-right to
leave the iPhone’s Picture-in-Picture mode
and return to full-screen viewing.

Your iPhone’s Advanced Functions
л The Siri Assistant
A PA Feature
Siri has a great new compact design. Your personal digital assistant no longer
takes over the whole screen but lets you concentrate on what you’re doing.
What follows is a short guide that takes you through the task of activating and
using Siri and using some of its more advanced features like setting alarms,
checking appointments, looking things up and identifying a song.
How to activate and speak to Siri
1
To open Siri, hold down the Home
button or the Side button on Face ID
iPhones. Siri now appears at the foot of the
screen; as you can see here.
Begin speaking and the coloured
icon reverberates to let you know
that Siri can hear you. If it doesn’t, tap it
to talk to Siri again.
3
You can also access Siri by saying
“Hey Siri” and then speaking your
request. Tap the answer shown to open
the app that created it.
Siri learning
The more you use Siri, the more it learns about you, your voice and the sort of words you
use. The digital assistant gets used to your accent and also your way of speaking. Over
time, Siri has become better at understanding natural language and expressions, making it
easier to use and far more useful to you.
Some things you
can ask me:
72 | www.pclpublications.com
The Siri Assistant
What Siri can do for you
Check appointments
Siri can tell you if you have any
appointments on any particular date, or
even within a time frame. Say to Siri
something like “What’s my schedule for
April?” and it tells you how many
appointments you have in that month and
lists them on screen. If you want to be
more specific, say “What are my
appointments today?” or "What’s my
schedule for June 19th?”
Look things up
To look things up using Siri, speak to Siri
as you would if you were asking a human
being. For example, ‘Which planet is the
largest?’ ‘Why does snow fall?’ or ‘What
movies has Clint Eastwood starred in?’
Siri uses the source it thinks best able to
answer the question. If you want to use a
particular search engine, simply say the
name before the question: “Google, how
far is it to the Sun?”
Add things up
Siri is particularly good at maths
questions, from general things like "What
is six multiplied by nine?” to more
real-world problems such as splitting a
restaurant bill, “What is 96 divided by
five?” If that isn’t impressive enough for
you, try something harder like “What is
the square root of 45,051?” Just for a
laugh, ask “What is zero divided by
zero?” Maths has never been more fun.
Turn alarms on or off
Siri makes common tasks easier but don’t
forget there are many other things that
your personal assistant can help you with.
Rather than fumbling about late at night to
turn your morning alarm on or off, simply
raise the phone to your eai; wait for the
beeps and say “Turn on (or off) my
alarm". Siri confirms it.
Siri in third-party apps
Apple has made Siri available to
third-party developers. You can now
operate non-Apple apps using the Siri
assistant. For example, you can say “Send
a message using WhatsApp” and Siri
opens the WhatsApp messenger, or “Book
me an Uber” and a car is booked for you.
More will follow soon.
Identify a song
Siri is not only there to search for content
on the web, it also lets you identify a song
using the Shazam audio recognition
software. While a song is playing, activate
Siri and ask, “What is this song?" Siri
searches, finds the title and then links you
to its entry in iTunes to give you the
chance to buy it.
www.pclpublications.com | 73
Your iPhone’s Advanced Functions
Play music
Siri can find and play music. You can tell Siri
to play your music in a few different ways.
The simplest is to say “Play <track name>".
You can also use commands such as “Play
drum and bass” or "Play my exercise
playlist”. Assuming that you have some
music defined as drum and bass or a
playlist called Exercise, they start to play. It
can source music from the Apple Music
streaming service on your iPhone too.
Show me pictures of...
Siri can search both your Photos app and
the web for pictures. Ask (for example),
"Show me pictures of sunsets", and Siri
searches Photos for suitable pics. Ask
"Show me pictures on the web of
sunsets”, and you get results from Safari.
Tap on a picture for a bigger preview and
tap again to open it in Safari.
Get directions
Siri really comes into its own as a personal
assistant when you need directions. Just
ask “How do I get home?”, “Show me the
way to <address>” or “Which way is it to
work?”, and Siri summons the Maps app,
giving you directions. You can even ask,
“Where is the nearest pub”, or train station,
or other such facility, and if Siri finds an
appropriate venue, follow up with “How do I
get there?” Siri understands perfectly.
Send messages
To send a message using Siri, say, "Tell
[person] [message]”, eg. “Tell my wife I’ll
be late.” When dictating a message,
speak the punctuation. For example,
“Hello comma I have arrived full stop”. Siri
then produces the message and asks if
you’re ready to send. Say “Yes” or tap
‘Send’ and it’s sent.
Siri dictation commands
Siri also understands dictation as well
as words, so if you are dictating an
email, for instance, this useful list of
dictation commands that Siri recognises
will prove very useful.

Troubleshooting
& Maintenance
Your iPhone is very reliable but even the best tech goes wrong sometimes.
If you’re having problems, try one of these tips and tricks. It may get you up
and running again without having to go to the Apple Store.
Close an application
If an application has frozen or is running
very slowly, try forcing it to quit. On an
iPhone with no Home button, on the Home
screen swipe from the bottom to half-way
up the screen. If your phone has a Home
button, Quickly press it twice. Either way,
you get to a screen showing your open
apps. Find the faulty one and swipe it off
the top of the screen.
Clean your SIM
Dodgy connections might be caused by a dirty or dislodged
SIM. Insert a paperclip or a purpose-built SIM removal tool
into the small hole on the side of the iPhone to eject the SIM
tray. Clean your SIM card with a dry cloth and replace it.
Restart your iPhone
This tip solves most iPhone issues, and
indeed, most tech issues in general, so
always start with this if you’re having a
problem.To restart an iPhone with no
Home button, press and hold the Side and
top Volume buttons. On older iPhones,
press and hold the side or the top button.
This screen appears, from where you can
shut down your iPhone with the slider.
Force reboot
If your phone is frozen and you can’t restart
the normal way, try a force reboot. If you’re
on an iPhone 8, 8 Plus or an iPhone without
a Home button, press and release the
volume up button, press and release the
volume down button then press and hold
the side button (perform these presses
quickly). On an iPhone 7 or 7 Plus, press
and hold the side button and the volume
down button. On an iPhone SE, iPhone 6s
or anything older, hold down the Home and
side buttons. Whichever phone it is, this
forces the iPhone to restart and the Apple
logo appears.

Dirty ports
Pocket lint sometimes gets into the
Lightning port or the headphone socket. If
you’re having trouble, try cleaning these
ports by poking out the lint with a plastic
toothpick or other such non-metal device.
It’s surprising how much can accumulate,
preventing the plugs from inserting correctly.
Cleaning your iPhone
If you need to clean your iPhone, use a
soft, lint-free cloth. If you must use a liquid,
make sure it’s a 70 per cent isopropyl
alcohol wipe or a Clorox disinfecting wipe.
Avoid abrasives and never use bleach.
Never let a liquid get into your iPhone’s
Lightning or earphone port.

point isn't your current whereabouts, tap My Location at the top
of the sidebar and change it. You can change your intended
mode of transport using the icons at the foot of the sidebar.

The Maps app quickly calculates the best route for you to
follow, based on the mode of transport you chose, and
displays the chosen route on the map marked blue line as seen here.
The total distance and estimated travel time are displayed on the
map and also in the main sidebar window on the left of the screen.
3
By default, the best routes are chosen, including toll
roads and motorways. If for some reason you wish to
avoid these things, at the bottom of the sidebar, there are
switches that are off by default. Turn them on to avoid Tolls/
Motorways; your route is recalculated.
4
Tap Go on your preferred route to start. For a step-by-step
breakdown of the route, swipe the window in the bottom-left
up and tap the Details link. Scroll it up and down to see every turn
and change on your journey, and also for a Share link at the
bottom.
5
You swipe the black instruction box right and left, taking
you to the next, or previous, instruction. Pinch and spread
on the map to zoom in and out and tap the arrow on the bottom
right to get back to your current location on the map.
6
If you come across a problem and you need to change
your route, tap the chevron in the window in the bottom

The Public Transport Feature
1
Find the directions to your chosen destination in the usual
way. In the sidebar, under that destination, you see four
icons, for Driving, Walking, Public Transport and Cycling. Tap the
train for Public Transport routes.
2
Tap on a train or subway station for a pop-up showing a list
of forthcoming departures from that station. Tap on a service
for more information. Transit and flight information is now updated in
real time, so check back often.
3
Several public transport routes are offered, with methods of
transport (bus, trains, ferry etc.) shown. A route might include
short walks between stops too. To get a more detailed view, tap the
Preview Route link for that route.
4
Scroll the sidebar up to see the Prefer Trips Using options.
Uncheck any modes of transport you’d rather not use.
When you’re done, scroll the window back down, choose a route
and tap its Go button.
5
You’re guided along your route just like you were in the
earlier tutorial about Turn By Turn Navigation. You’re
instructed when to get on a train, where to go from the station
when you get off, which bus to catch and more.
6
Buildings such as subway stations have been carefully
surveyed, so Maps shows not only their location but also all
the entrances and exits to that station. This has now been
expanded to show maps of their indoor areas.

Cycling Directions.
Cyclists will be pleased to hear they’re catered for in Maps. When
planning a route, tap the bicycle button in the sidebar to be shown
the most favourable directions to take when riding a bicycle. These
routes take account of dedicated cycle paths, and also the
elevation of the road, so you’re not sent up a steep hill when there’s
a better route. Cycling Directions isn’t yet available in many
locations but more will be added over time.

Measure App
Virtual Dimensions
Augmented reality’s usefulness is highlighted by Apple’s Measure app. It does
exactly what its name suggests; acting as a virtual tape measure to work out
dimensions of items or the distance between them. Let’s see what it can do.
Measure in Focus
96 |
nThe back arrow undoes
the last command but
doesn’t clear all the points of a
multi-point measurement.
Measure is designed to
calculate the distance
between fixed points such as
the height of this church or
width of the window.
В The Clear button gets rid
of all the current
measurements so you can
move on to the next one.
□ You will need to direct
Measure to the object
you’d like to measure by
hovering over it.
The onscreen Shutter
button is used to take
a photo of what you’ve
just measured for handy
tutu re reference.
О The + button is used to
specify the start and
end points that Measure
should use.
Measuring Regular Shapes.
No doubt some objects you measure will be square or
oblong. Measure can automatically recognise some such
regular shapes, particularly screens. When it does, a yellow
mask appears in the
rough vicinity of the
shape it recognised,
and an extra ‘Add a
rectangle’ option
appears beneath
the + button. Tap
this and then line up
the iPad accurately
to calculate the
fixed area.
5
Measure
Make the Most of
the Measure App
The Measure app is bundled with
iPads but only those powerful
enough to run it. Open the app and
you’re asked to move your iPad
around so it can get a feel for the
space you’re in. When the virtual
box disappears, it’s ready to use.
Measures markers can shift as you manoeuvre
your iPad to line up each point. If so, tap the
back arrow to undo the last measurement or
Clear to start again. You get a prompt to ‘Move
your iPad to resume’ if you pause while using
the app.
Move your iPad towards the object you want
to size up. When Measure recognises a
straight line, a white circle with a dot
appears. Move the iPad so the dot hovers at
one end of what you’re measuring, then tap
the + button on the screen.
To add more endpoints to the item you’re
currently measuring, move your iPad to the
next point, tap + again, and then move the iPad
back to the last measured point and tap +. You
should now have two linked lines, each with
their lengths listed.
Measuring People’s
Height with an iPad.
If you’re lucky enough to have an iPad Pro from 2020
or later, Apple has improved the Measure app using
the LiDAR Scanner, and it can now automatically
calculate a person's height. Object measurements are
faster and more accurate thanks to automatic vertical
and edge guides, plus there's a new Ruler View for
more granular measurements.

Translate App
For Other Languages
The Translate app is already a hit on the iPhone, and with iPadOS 15,
it comes to the iPad too. You can translate text copied and pasted from
another app, something you typed in or even voice chat in real time.
Translate in Focus
DThe two languages at the
top of the screen are, in
order, the language you’re
translating from, and the one
you’re translating into.
И Tap one of the chevrons
next to the language
you’re translating into or out of
and you get a list of languages.
Tap one to change the
language you’re using.
И As you can see, we’re
currently translating into
German, hence the tick. Tap
another language to switch to
that tongue. You can do this with
the language you’re translating
from, as well as the language
you’re translating into.
И Tap Manage Languages
at the foot of the
language list and you get the
chance to download language
packs, which lets you translate
that language without sending
information to Apple’s servers.
В This is the text that was
typed into the Translate
app for translation.move, so the
direction in which you’re
travelling is always ‘up’.
□

This is the text that has
been translated. It says
the same as the black text
above it, here it has been
translated into German.
These three icons are, in
turn; expand the
translated text to fill the
screen; favourite the translated
text; open the dictionary in a
pop-up bubble, showing the
definition of a piece of text
(translated or untranslated)
that you’ve highlighted.
This is the Play icon. Tap
it to have the translated
text read to you.
И If you want to type some
more text to translate,
tap here and type it.

Tap the microphone to
speak into the iPad’s mic,
and have your words
converted to text and
translated.
ШТар here for a menu that
lets you play translations,
and automatically detect the
language you’re speaking in
when you use the mic.
Did you know you can get System-Wide Translation via this
app. You can get translations carried out in a lot of the apps
that are bundled with your iPad, such as Notes, Email and
(pictured) Safari. This system-wide translation is powered by
the Translate app.

FaceTime App
Audio and Video Calls
Your iPhone’s FaceTime app can make audio and video calls, and with
iPadOS 15, they can be to Android and Windows devices as well as other
Apple gear. As FaceTime calls are made over the Internet, they’re free.
1
You can make a FaceTime call from a person’s card in
the Contacts app or from the FaceTime app. In Contacts,
tap the FaceTime audio or video icon to start a call. In the
FaceTime app, tap New FaceTime, enter a contact’s name and
tap the audio or video.
3
Bring up the controls, and swipe it up, using the handle at
the top, to see all options. You can end the call, or add
more people, or by tapping Share Link and then sending it to
others, who can then ask to join the conversation, turning it into a
group chat.
2
Tap the screen to show/hide controls. The icons on the
small screen are for effects and to switch cameras. The
icons on the main screen are Message; Speaker/mic on/off;
camera on/off. The red button ends the call, and the white button
takes a photo of the screen.
Portrait Mode
If you have an iPad Air 3rd generation or later, you can activate
Portrait Mode, with the background blurred. Just tap your own
video feed, then tap the silhouette icon in the top-left corner to
activate and deactivate Portrait Mode. Tap the arrows icon in
the top-right to shrink your video window again.
112 | www.pclpublications.com
FaceTime
Group FaceTime Chats
The easiest way to start a Group Chat is to open the
FaceTime app, tap Create Link and then send it to those
you want to invite, either by tapping Add Name or using the
buttons below it.
James Gale, Alison Willis or Ian
Osborne, Andrea Gale & 2 other
Up to 32 people can join a Group FaceTime chat. To leave,
tap the screen to raise the icons as before and then tap the
red button to leave the call. The rest of the group is unaffected.
1
4
You can send the link through apps such as Mail,
Facebook, Messages, Twitter and more, or save it for later
use. Recipients tap the link to join the chat. Tap Edit Actions to
add or remove actions from the list.
You can watch a group chat in Grid View. To switch between
views, tap the screen to get the controls, tap the names of the
people in the chat and tap the Grid View button, this will show all
members of the chat at once.
2
Additional Options
Spacial Audio
In order to make FaceTime video calls seem more
natural, comfortable and lifelike, Apple has
incorporated a feature called Spacial Audio into the
app. This makes each person’s speech seem to
come from the area of the screen where their video
is situated, making for a much more lifelike and
organic conversation.
Mic Modes
There are new microphone modes to choose from in
FaceTime audio calls. While in conversation, open
the Control Centre in the usual way and tap the Mic
Mode button. As well as the Standard option, you
can also opt for Voice Isolation or Wide Spectrum.
Voice Isolation focuses the outgoing sound on your
own voice, cutting out ambient noise in the
background. Wide Spectrum does exactly the
opposite, taking in sounds from all around the room,
and not just your own voice. Just the thing if you
have music on that you want to share over video
chat, for example.
More Settings
In Settings > FaceTime, you can switch Speaking
prominence on or off, depending on whether you
want the person who last spoke to be more
prominent, turn the Live Photos button on and off
and set whether you want to announce FaceTime
calls in various circumstances.

_ Find My
Friends & Gadgets
You can use the Find My app to locate Apple gear that has been mislaid, lost
or stolen. This now includes AirTags, AirPods Pro and AirPods Max. New
Separation Alerts tell you if you’ve left an Apple device behind in an unfamiliar
location, and when tracking your friends or family with their permission, their
location is now live-streamed to give a sense of direction and speed.
The People Tab
The Find My app is divided into four sections, represented
by icons at the foot of the screen; People, Devices, Items
and Me. Unsurprisingly, the People tab is for finding your friends.
If it isn’t selected, tap it.
To start sharing your location with friends or family members,
tap the large Start Sharing Location button. You should then
enter the name, Apple ID email, or phone number of the person with
which you want to share locations.
3
As is usual, you can tap the + sign to the right and select
a person from your Contacts app. Add as many people as
you wish, and tap the Send link. Then you can choose whether
to share for an hour, the rest of the day, or indefinitely.
Sharing Your Location.
When someone shares their location with you, you’re given a
notification. Tap this and you can quickly and easily choose
to return the favour and share your location with them.
114 | www.pclpublications.com
The people with whom you shared your location can now
see exactly where you are, that is the blue spot and picture
on the map. You can pinch and spread to zoom in on this map,
just like you can in the Maps app.
5
To access an options screen, tap on the name of someone
with whom you’re sharing your location. Pull the menu up to
see all of the options. From here, you can tap Contact to bring up
their card from your Contacts app.
6
When someone who’s location you’re sharing is moving,
you’re sent real-time updates on where they are. It’s very
useful if, for example, you’re out for the day and need to keep
track on the family's locations.
You are notified when a person leaves, arrives at or is not
at a location. Tap their name, then in the options window,
tap Add. Choose a location from the list, or tap New Location
and find a new one.
The Me Tab.
Tap the Me tab at the foot of the screen for a range of options
and info. You’re told where you are, given the option of naming
that location (work, home, school, and so on), and can also
stop sharing your location too.
8
Tap a friend’s name, that isn’t currently sharing their own
location with you, and then, to request they do so, tap Ask
To Follow Location. If they comply, they also appear on the map,
along with yourself and others who are sharing their locations.

The Devices Tab
1
The Devices tab, found at the foot of the screen, gives
access to what used to be called Find My iPhone. Tap it,
and all of your Apple gear that’s logged into the same Apple ID as
your iPhone, is shown on the map.
2
Swipe the devices list up to see all your Apple gear If a
device hasn’t been online recently, it is listed as 'No location
found’. Its location will be updated when it next goes online, so if
it’s been stolen, keep checking back.
3
Tap any device on the map, or list, for an options screen. To
locate a device that’s likely to be within earshot, tap the Play
Sound link. Your device makes a noise, enabling you to find it; just
the thing if it’s lost in the house.
D Tapping the Directions link opens up the Maps app and gives
you directions from your current location to the whereabouts
of your missing device. As you can see, this one isn’t too far away;
maybe it was dropped in the street?
5
If you fear a device is lost, as opposed to simply being
mislaid in the house or at work, you can tap Activate
under Mark as Lost to lock and track it. This prevents thieves or
finders getting at your precious and valuable personal data.
6
When you lock a device, you can enter a phone number
and a short message, which is displayed on the gadget’s
lock screen. This way, an honest finder can see the message and
give you a call via the emergency contact details provided to say
they found it.
116 I www.pclpublications.com
Find My
The Items Tab
7
In the Devices list, an item you've marked as lost is shown
with a Lock icon next to it. You can still tap the item in this
list to go to the options screen mentioned earlier. Tap the Activated
link for various Lost Mode options.
8
Tap the locked device in the Find My list, then tap Mark as
Lost again and you can change this phone number and/or
message. You can also get email updates (on by default) and, when
you’ve found it, switch off Lost Mode.
9
As a last resort, you can tap Erase this Device to wipe it
clean. This should only be done if you’ve given up hope
of ever recovering it, as, when it’s wiped, it can no longer be
tracked using the Find My app.
The Items tab lets you keep track of other devices such as
AirTags, and similar third party devices. Tap this tab and
then tap the Learn More link to find out how to add an AirTag to
your Find My app on your iPad.
2
Tap Add Item, and then tap Add AirTag to add an Apple
AirTag. If you have a third-party device that’s certified as
working with Apple Find My, tap Other Supported Item and
follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Third-Party Products.
Apple has opened up the Find My app to third-party
developers, so they can make their own Bluetooth trackers
appear on the map too. For example, if you attach a tracker to
your luggage, you can trace it.

individual show or an entire season, it’s up to you. You can choose
between HD (high definition) and the usually-cheaper SD (standard
definition) where both are available.

from a TV show season, and decide you want the rest, when you
buy the album or season, the price is adjusted accordingly, based

You receive an iCloud account, with a complimentary 5GB
of online storage space, with your Apple ID. Open the
Settings app; at the top of the sidebar, you should see your name.
If you don’t, you need to sign in with your Apple ID; tap the Sign in
to your iPad link to do so.
To use a photo with your Apple ID and iCloud account,
tap the grey circle at the top of the right hand column and
then take or add one from your Photos library. If you don’t have
one yet, just leave it; you can come back and take or add one
whenever you choose.
In Settings > [your name], tap the iCloud link for a list of
apps that can be kept in sync with iCloud. If an app in this
list is switched on, it means changes you make on one Apple
device are also made on all your other Apple devices signed into
the same iCloud ID.
For example, if you have Calendar switched on in this list,
and then enter a new Calendar event using your iPad, it is
also shown on your iPhone and Mac, if they’re signed into the
same Apple ID. In Calendar’s case, it’s also available online at
www.icloud.com.

iCloud Photos lets you sync your photographs over iCloud,
and optimise storage space by keeping the full-resolution
versions on the cloud while displaying smaller versions on your
iPad. You can use shared albums too. If you wish to use iCloud
Photos, switch it on.
6
Tap the Keychain link and you can turn on the iCloud
Keychain service here. This stores things like passwords,
usernames and credit card information; for example, when you
log on to an online forum, you won’t need to keep typing your
details every time.
7
The Backup option lets you automatically back up your iPad
whenever it’s switched on, plugged into a charger and
connected to the Internet over Wi-Fi. It’s a great option for
hassle-free backups. You can also trigger an immediate backup
on this screen too. Just tap the Back Up Now link and your iPad is
backed up straight away.
8
Further down the list, you see all of the Apple apps you’ve
installed on your iPad, such as Designer, Dropbox and
iKIips (assuming you have these apps, of course). You can sync
these with iCloud too; once again, just tap their switch to turn
syncing on. Further down still are third-party apps that can be
iCloud-synced.
9
Some apps allow other users to find you, using your
Apple ID. If this applies to an app you have on your iPad,
it will ask permission to do this, after which it can be found in
this section, labelled ‘Look Me Up’. Tap this link to edit the list
of apps that can use this function on your iPad.
10
The Mail option towards the bottom of the screen shows
the details used for your iCloud email account; this is
automatically configured in the Mail app. You can change some
of the advanced settings relating to the mailbox behaviours if
you wish; take a look and explore the options.

iCloud Backup
Subscription Upgrades.
Go to Settings > [Your Name] > iCloud, scroll up until you
see the iCloud Backup option and tap it. If you want to
back up to iCloud, your iPad won’t auto-back up in Finder when
you connect it to a computer to sync.
DGo to Settings > [Your Name] > iCloud; at the top of
the screen, tap the Manage Storage link to take you to
the iCloud Storage screen. You see a link titled ‘Change
Storage Plan’.
This switches on the iCloud Backup feature. Now, when
your iPad is: connected to an external power supply, like a
computer or your charger, online with Wi-Fi, and locked, it
automatically backs up.
Tap ‘Change Storage Plan’ to see your current
subscription. You get 5GB of online storage with your
Apple ID and it’s free of charge but if you want more, you can
upgrade to a paid-for monthly plan.
There’s also an option on this screen to Back Up Now. This
backs up your iPad immediately, and is useful if you’ve not
backed up in a while or are about to upgrade the operating
system. Tap it to back up.
□ You can also downgrade to a smaller, cheaper plan if
you wish. Just tap Change Storage Plan as before, tap
Downgrade Options at the foot of the window and choose a
cheaper option.

iCloud Drive
Manage Storage Option
iCloud+ Explained
1
In Settings > [Your Name] > iCloud, tap Manage Storage.
You see a list of applications that are storing data on iCloud
and how much space this data is using, as well as your iCloud
Drive, and Backups if stored on iCloud.
2
Tap one of the apps. Many applications, such as XCOM 2
Collection (seen here), have data which can be deleted
individually. Swipe left and tap the Delete button instead of
tapping Delete Documents and Data.
3
Some apps don’t split their data into individual files that
you can delete individually, but rather let you delete
everything at once (an option that’s available in all apps). It’s a
great way of freeing up space.
When you register for an Apple ID, you automati-
cally get 5GB of iCloud storage for free. But if you
upgrade this storage, for a set monthly fee, you also
get extra features, collectively known as iCloud+.
• Private Relay: When this is active, your Safari browsing is
encrypted and sent through two separate Internet relays.
The user experience is the same, but websites and
snoopers are unable to obtain your IP address or build a
profile of your web activities. Go to Settings > [Your Name]
> iCloud > Private Relay to switch it on.
• Hide My Email: Go to Settings > [Your Name] > iCloud > Hide
my email to create a unique email address to use when you
don’t want to reveal your actual email address. Emails sent
to this new address are forwarded to your Apple ID email
address. You can delete a Hide My Email address at any
time, and no longer receive emails sent to it.
• Custom Email Domain: If you want to customise your iCloud
email address, and allow family members to also use this
domain (the part of your email address after the ‘@‘). So,
for example, if you run a bike shop you might prefer to use
fredbloggs@townbikestore.com instead of fredbloggs@
icloud.com.
• HomeKit Secure Video: Store video footage from surveillance
cameras on your iCloud. This footage does not take up any
of your regular iCloud storage space.
Remember, to use these extra features offered by iCloud+, you
must be using a paid-for iCloud service. iCloud+ is not
available for free iCloud users.

Files App
Sharing & Collaboration
Compressing Files
To share an individual file, navigate to it in the Files app
and tap and hold to get the pop-up menu. You can then
share it using Messages, AirDrop, Mail and more. Scroll to Add
People and tap it to invite someone to collaborate on it, with edits
visible to all.
1
You can compress a folder by tapping and holding it and
then selecting Compress from the pop-up menu. You can
compress a group of files by selecting them and then tapping
the More link in the bottom right corner; then selecting the
Compress option.
2
You can share and collaborate on a folder as well as an
individual file. To do so, tap and hold on the folder, choose
the Share option and then either share the folder (so the recipient
gets a copy of it) or Add People, which lets you invite people to
collaborate on it.
2
A compressed archive is shown as a Zip file. Tap to
uncompress it or tap and hold it for the pop-up menu, which
again lets you carry out a range of tasks. Zipping files and then
tapping the pop-up’s Share option is great for sending a group of
files by Messages, email or more.
External Drives.
If you connect an external drive to your iPad, its contents are
accessible through the Files app. With iPadOS 15, you can
use a hard drive that uses APFS encryption. To access the
hard drive’s contents, you need to enter the password you
used to encrypt it.
The Cloud Icon.
If a document is stored on your iCloud but not on your iPad,
there’s a Cloud icon in the top right corner of its thumbnail. Tap
the thumbnail to download the document to your tablet and open
it, so you can edit and modify it on your iPad, with your changes
synced to iCloud.

iPad Multitasking
sz Improve Productivity
Multitasking has had a boost in iPadOS 15. As well as the usual methods of
working with two apps open on the screen at once - or even the same app
twice - a new multitasking window has been added, which makes it even
easier to use your iPad in this way. Here’s how it all works.
Slide Over & Picture in Picture
1
When using an app, swipe up from the foot of the screen
to access the dock, then drag another app to the side of
the screen. Let go and it’s shown on a card-like window. You
can drag it across the screen with the three dots atop the app,
or to the side, from where it can turn into a Split View app.
2
To close the sidebar app, swipe it off the side of the
screen. You can open several apps at once as Slide
Over cards. With more than one Slide Over app open, to switch
between them swipe the black line at the foot of the Slide Over
app left and right, or swipe this line up for a Slide Over picker.

When watching a video in a supported app, look for a big

Tap that button and you can watch your video in a window while
you use another iPad app on the screen.
4
You can drag the video window to any part of the
screen, Pinch and Spread to change its size and tap it to
see the controls. Tap the ’squares’ icon (top right) to view in full
screen, or the ‘X’ (top left) to close.

iPad Multitasking
Multitasking Tools
Split View.
1
If you tap the three dots at the top of an open app, you
get the multitasking tools. They are, left to right; Full
Screen; Split View; Slide Over. Tap Split View or Slide Over and
the open app moves out of the way so you can open another.
1
Split Screen mode will only work with compatible apps
and only when in landscape mode. Open a Slide Over
app, as described on the previous page and, using the grey
line at the top, drag it to either side of the screen.
The second app opens, giving you a Split View or Slide
Over multitasking screen. When you have two open apps
in this way, the three-dots icon at the top remain; tap the
three-dots icon over the app for the tools.
2
The apps appear side by side. You can resize them by
dragging the black line in the centre left or right, to give
one or the other a greater portion of the screen. Drag all the
way left or right to close one of the apps.
3
With the multitasking tools, you can take a Split View or
Slide Over app back into full screen by tapping the first
icon, the Full Screen tool. You can also use the tools to turn a
Split-Screen app into a Slide Over app, or vice versa.
3
You can also use Split View multitasking to run the
same app twice, on both sides of the screen. Here,
for example, we’re looking at two different Safari pages;
Apple’s on the left, BDM Publications’ on the right.

Voice Control has been released across Apple devices, with the
feature being built into its operating systems since iOS 13,
iPadOS and macOS Catalina. Apple has released a video of a
user making the most of his Mac using Voice Control. You can

To open Voice Control, say, “Hey Siri, turn on Voice Control”, or
open Siri with the buttons. If you get stuck, try, “Show me what

with practice, it’s immensely powerful.

Notification Centre
Alerts for Your iPad
Notification Centre has a great new look for iPadOS 15. When a notification
arrives, the app icon is larger, and when a notification comes from a person
in your Contacts app, you get their contact photo too.
1
Whether you’re on the Home screen or using an app, you
can access Notification Centre at any time, simply by swiping
your finger down from the top of the screen. You can also swipe the
Notification Centre screen to the left to open the Camera app.
2
The most recent notifications you have received are shown
on top of the Notification Centre. Notifications can be
automatically grouped by app, topic and more. Tap on a stack to
open it up so you can see the individual notifications.
3
When you’ve opened a stack, you can close it again by
tapping Show Less. You can also clear it in one stroke by
tapping the ‘X’ next to the Show Less button, then tapping the
button marked Clear The entire stack is then deleted from the
Notification Center not the app itself.
4
Tap and hold a notification to open it within Notification
Centre. Options available depend on the app that created
it, but you can read or save a news story, mark an email as read
or delete it, reply to a message without opening the Messages
app and more.

app’s notifications, view its notifications in the Settings app or turn
notifications off completely for that app.
Setting Up Notifications
Go to the Settings app and tap Notifications in the
left-hand column. Tap on one of the listed applications to
see its notification controls. Flick the switch at the top, labelled
‘Allow Notifications’, into the Off position to stop notifications
from that app.
2
Below the Allow Notifications switch you can find
customisation options. The Badges option, when on,
displays a number on the Home screen app icon showing how
many items have arrived. You can add a sound for a
notification’s arrival too.
If you choose to switch on the Show as Banners option,
there are two types of banner alerts available. Temporary
banners disappear automatically after a while, but Persistent
banners require an action before going. Tap the type you prefer.
Apps not included in Notification Centre are labelled ‘Off’
in the apps list. You can, of course, tap on an app that’s
currently off and then tap the Allow Notifications switch, so that
it’s then included in Notifications once more.

gx Taking a Call
7 Cross-device Feature
If you have an iPhone and an iPad, you can make and receive calls on your
Apple tablet, as long as your phone is nearby. Your Apple devices just need
to meet the system requirements and be on the same wireless network.
Setting Up Continuity
Calls on Your iPad
To take iPhone calls on your iPad instead of your iPhone (known as
Continuity Calls), make sure of the following;
• Both devices must be signed in to iCloud with the same
Apple ID.
• Sign both devices in to FaceTime with the same Apple ID.
• Both devices must have Wi-Fi turned on
• The iPad and iPhone must be connected to the same
wireless network.
Now you must turn on the Continuity Calls feature. On your iPhone,
go to Settings > Phone > Calls on Other Devices, and turn on Allow
Calls on Other Devices. On your iPad, go to Settings > FaceTime,
and turn on Calls from iPhone. With that, you’re ready to make and

Making and Taking

After setting up for Continuity Calls, when your iPhone rings, your
iPad also rings. If you’re using your iPad and your phone isn’t to
hand, you can take the call on the iPad instead. If your iPad is
locked, slide to accept the call. If it’s unlocked, the incoming call no
longer takes up the whole screen. Instead, it appears as a
notification. You can accept or reject the call using the green and
red buttons.
To make a call on your iPad, just tap on a phone number found in
Contacts, Calendar; Safari, Notes or any other app that automatically
detects phone numbers.
To stop iPhone calls coming to your iPad, go to the Settings screen
described in the Setting Up section of this tutorial and turn the
feature off.
System Requirements
To make and receive iPhone calls on your iPad, your Apple
devices must meet the following requirements. Your iPhone must
be running iOS 8.1 or later and be connected to a mobile phone
network for calls. Your iPad must run iOS 8 or later or any version
of iPadOS.

sz Searches and More
Spotlight Search can do more than you think. A Spotlight search can launch
an app, look for a person in Contacts, find pictures in your Photos app and
lots more. Here’s how to use the excellent Spotlight feature.
Searching for Photos
Type (or at least, start to type) ‘Photos’ and you can open
the Photos app, or see photographs taken from apps,
including the Photos app. Tap Show More next to Photos from
Apps to see more pictures.
You can look for specific subjects within your photos if you
wish. Here we’ve searched for ‘cats’. In the search results
are pictures taken from the Photos app; tap Search in App and
you see the results in Photos.
2
You can be more specific too. By searching for ‘Cat
Person’, for example, we see pictures that contain both
cats and a person or people. Of course, we could use that
search in other apps too, such as Mail and Safari.
Accessing Spotlight.
To access the Spotlight feature on your iPad, swipe down
with a single finger from the Lock screen or the Home
screen. Only a short swipe is needed. Swipe on the middle
of the screen, not the top, or you open the Notification
Centre instead of Spotlight. Tap that Search field in the

Adding Games Controllers
In a great feature of iPadOS 15, you can now pair a wider
range of controllers with your Apple tablet. The iPad is at
last becoming a serious games machine.
Apple introduced controller support with iPadOS 13.4, which launched along with the Apple
Arcade gaming subscription service. iPadOS 15 takes things a step further. The range of
joypads has been increased, with support for Microsoft’s Xbox Elite Wireless Controller
Series 2 and Adaptive Controller being added. New controller features added for iPadOS 15
include custom button mapping, force feedback and speciality features like motion
sensors, lights and battery level.
Mouse and trackpad support is no longer a throwaway feature tucked away in the
Accessibility options. The new operating systems bring support for the mouse and
trackpad to the fore, with better, more highly integrated options. The iPad can, for the first
time, register multiple key presses. This is essential for some games. In first-person
shooters, for example, it means you can move and shoot at the same time and in platform
games, you couldn't previously tap the Jump button without letting go of the direction key
first. To make use of these exciting features, you must first pair your controller or keyboard
with your iPad. This is achieved in the following ways.
On your PlayStation 4 controller, press and hold both
the PS Button and the Share button. After a few
seconds, the controller’s light flashes white, showing
it’s in pairing mode.
On your iPad, go to Settings > Bluetooth. Switch it on
if necessary. You see a list of devices currently paired
with the iPad and at the bottom, under Other Devices,
you see DUALSHOCK 4 Wireless Controller listed.
Tap DUALSHOCK 4 Wireless Controller and agree to
pair it with your iPad. It can now be used with
compatible games.
150 | www.pclpublications.com
Games Controllers
Make sure the device you wish to
pair with your iPad offers
Bluetooth connectivity. If it
doesn’t, it cannot be used with
your iPad in this way.
Follow the manufacturer’s
instructions for putting the device
into pairing mode. All devices are different in
this respect, so we can’t be more specific.
On your iPad, with Bluetooth turned on, go to
Settings > Bluetooth. Under Other Devices, at
the foot of the screen, you should see the device
you’re pairing. Tap it and then agree to have it
paired in the pop-up window.
Customising
Control
When you’ve paired a mouse or trackpad with your iPad, you can go
to Settings > General > Trackpad & Mouse and configure it Settings
that can be configured include tracking speed, natural scrolling and
secondary click. If you’ve paired a keyboard, go to Settings > General
> Keyboard > Hardware Keyboards for a similar set of options.
After pairing a games controller, go to Settings > General > Game
Controller > Customisations to change button configurations.
