How to Share Health Data with Your Doctor (2023)

The iPhone, in tandem with other Apple devices like the Apple Watch, is amazing at collecting crucial health data throughout your daily life that would be otherwise impossible for a doctor's visit to track in one sitting. But what good is all this data if you can't share it with your healthcare providers? If you have a tech-savvy doctor, you may be able to share the data you collect about your health. Why You'll Love This Tip * Share the data you've collected about your health with a healthcare professional. * Track information regarding your health and get that information to the people who need it most. * Your Health app may be tracking relevant information that would be difficult for you to report to your doctor independently, like your heart rate or sleep cycles. How to Share Data from the Health App with a Doctor on iPhone Although not many doctors allow for sharing health data via the iPhone at this time, this technology is quickly spreading because it is so convenient for tracking a person's physical health. If you like tips about using your Apple devices, be sure to sign up for our free Tip of the Day! Here's how to share my health data: * On your iPhone, open the Health app. * Tap Sharing. * Tap Share with your Doctor. * Tap Next. * Select the hospital, clinic, doctor, or doctor's office you'd like to share your health data with. Do note that not all doctor's offices or hospitals have this feature enabled, so you may not find yours listed.  * Tap Connect Account. * You will then be taken to your doctor's office's site, where you will be required to sign in to your pre-existing account and follow the instructions on their website. Your iPhone will share any health data it has with your doctor's office, and your doctor's office will use its own medical record-keeping system to analyze your data. You can stop sharing your data by disconnecting your account at any time. You can also make your medical records available for you to view in the Health app. How-ToiPhoneAppsApple AppsHealthHealth & FitnessMaster your iPhone in one minute a day: Sign up here to get our FREE Tip of the Day delivered right to your inbox.

How to Use the Hidden Water Eject Shortcut on iPhone (2023)

What to Know * Most iPhones are water resistant, but none of them are waterproof. * There is a handy shortcut for getting water out of your iPhone. * When you run the shortcut, it will emit a sound to expel water from your phone speakers. The Apple Watch has a nifty feature that ejects water from the speaker after you’ve been for a swim. The iPhone doesn’t have the same feature, sadly, so if your iPhone ever takes a dive, there’s no option to clear water from your speakers. However, some tech-savvy iPhone users have found a way to create a water eject shortcut that performs a similar function. Check it out below! Jump To: * Is the iPhone Waterproof? * How to Get Water Out of iPhone Is the iPhone Waterproof? Before we get started, every iPhone owner should know that iPhones are not waterproof. They are water resistant, but that is not the same thing. Depending on which model you have, your iPhone likely is designed to survive being submerged about 6 meters underwater for 30 minutes. This does not mean you should take your iPhone for a swim or try to use it for underwater photography without a case. The iPhone’s water resistance is meant to protect it from accidents involving water, like if you accidentally drop it in the pool or spill a drink on it. For more advice on protecting your iPhone, be sure to sign up for our free Tip of the Day newsletter. Now, let’s move on to how to get water out of iPhone with the water eject shortcut. How to Get Water Out of iPhone When your device gets wet, liquid can easily make its way into the speakers. The quickest way to remedy the situation is with this handy water eject shortcut. Here’s how to use it: Note: This article requires adding a shortcut from a third party. Always be careful when adding third-party shortcuts. We cannot guarantee the safety of all third-party shortcuts. * First, you’ll need to install this Water Eject Shortcut from Shortcuts Gallery. * Tap Get Shortcut. * Tap Add Shortcut. * Now that you have the shortcut installed, you can run it two different ways. The first is to just tap it in the Shortcuts app. * Tap Start to start up the shortcut. * Select an intensity level. * Your iPhone will emit noise to get water out of the phone speakers for a few seconds, depending on the intensity level you selected. * When you run the shortcut for the first time, it will ask for a few permissions. Tap Allow. * Tap Always Allow. * This simply allows the shortcut to display a notification once it has finished ejecting water. * You can also run this shortcut with Siri. Activate Siri either by saying, “Hey, Siri,” or by pressing and holding the side button, then saying, “Water eject.” Now, if you ever accidentally drop your phone in the sink while doing dishes or spill a drink on it, you can easily use the water eject shortcut to get the water out of your iPhone speakers.

Explained: Where Do Saved Voice Messages Go? (2023)

What to Know * When you save an audio message, it is stored in your Voice Memos app. * Your Voice Memos app may be automatically sorted into a Utilities folder. * If you set your audio messages to never expire, you can always access them in your Messages app. Where do voice messages save on the iPhone? Whether you're looking to preserve your adorable niece's voice telling you about her day at preschool or save directions on how to complete a task correctly without having to ask someone again and again, you'll want to know where to find the audio messages you saved. Turns out, there's very easy to find! Where Do Saved Audio Messages Go? If someone sent you an audio message you want to save, it turns out it's pretty easy to get to them once they're saved to your device. Audio messages save to your Voice Memos app, and will appear in a list when you open that app. You do, however, need to save them for them to appear here, or they'll stay in your Messages app and expire when they're set to. How to Save an Audio Message to Your Voice Memos App * Open your Messages app and tap to play the audio message you want to save. If the message is one you received instead of one you sent, you'll have to listen to the whole thing before you are able to save it. * You'll see a message that says, "Expires in 2m." * This will disappear and you'll see "Keep" instead. Tap Keep. * Long press on the voice message you'd like to save. * Tap Save. * Go to your Home screen and tap on your Voice Memos app. Your iPhone may have automatically sorted it into a Utilities folder so if you don't see it, check there. You can also search your App Library. * Your most recently saved audio message will appear at the top of the list. And there you have it! However, if you want to keep your audio messages in your Messages app, you can set them to never expire. How to Keep an Audio Message in Your Messages App Audio messages automatically expire after two minutes in your Messages app, so if you don't save them to your Voice Memos app, they'll be gone forever. You can change this setting, though, and keep your audio messages in your Messages app. Here's how: * In your Settings app, tap Messages. * Scroll down, and under Audio Messages, tap Expire. * Select Never. This will make it so audio messages stay in your messages app and you can always access them there. However, audio messages can take up a lot of storage, so unless there's a specific reason you want to be able to access all audio messages through your Messages app, you might be better off saving the ones you want to keep to your Voice Memos app and letting the others expire.

How to Unsend an Email in Gmail (2023)

What to Know: * Every time you send an email on Gmail, you will receive a notification that pops up on the bottom of your screen that allows you to click "Undo." This will unsend an email on Gmail. * You can increase or decrease the amount of time (up to 30 seconds) you have to unsend an email on Gmail by going into your Gmail settings. We've all made the mistake of sending an email too quickly and forgetting the attachment, or leaving in embarrassing typos. Luckily, if you use Gmail, you have the ability to unsend an email for up to 30 seconds after you sent it! We'll walk through how to unsend emails in Gmail, whether you're using the app or the web version. How to Unsend an Email in the Gmail App If you've made a mistake when sending an email in Gmail, don't panic! It's super simple to fix if you catch it quickly enough. If you like tips about using Apple devices, be sure to sign up for our free Tip of the Day! * Tap the Send button to send your email in the Gmail app. * After a second, you will see a notification pop up that says "Message Sent." Tap Undo. * From here, you will be able to edit and amend your original email. You can send the message again as soon as you've made the changes you need. Or, if you decide you don't need to send the email at all, you can just delete your draft, and no one will be the wiser. How to Recall an Email in Gmail on Desktop To unsend an email on the Gmail website while using your Desktop, it's basically the same process. * Click Send to send your email. * You will see a notification pop up that says  "Message Sent." Tap Undo. * From here, you will be able to edit and amend your original email. How to Increase or Decrease Unsend Window Time Depending on your preferences, with Gmail, you actually have the option to customize how much time you have to choose to unsend a message. When choosing the amount of time you'd like to have to unsend a message, keep in mind that Gmail will hold off on sending your emails for this amount of time, to give you a chance to cancel them. So, if you choose 30 seconds, your emails won't send for 30 seconds after your hit send. * On your computer, go to Gmail. * Click the Settings icon in the top right. * Click See All Settings. * Next to Undo Send, click the drop-down menu for Send Cancellation Period. * From here, you can either choose from 5, 10, 20, or 30 seconds. * Then, click Save Changes. And that's all you have to do to unsend an email from Gmail, whether you're using the app or the web-browser version.

How to Use HomePod & HomePod mini Physical Controls (2023)

What to Know * Your HomePod's touchpad can do a lot more than increase or decrease volume. * Depending on the app using your HomePod, tapping the touchpad can do different things. * The HomePod touchpad can be tapped multiple times or tapped and held with different results. HomePods have a simple touchpad on top of them, but these have a surprising number of functions! I will teach you all the ways you can control your HomePod or HomePod mini using physical controls or touch gestures. How to Use Every Single HomePod Physical Control It doesn't matter if you have the discontinued HomePod, the new HomePod, or one of the HomePod minis; all physical HomePod controls are the same! When controlling your HomePod, all you need to do is tap the touchpad with your finger. The controls depend on the app using the HomePod and the number of taps and tap-and-holds. For more HomePod and other Apple product tips, sign up for our free Tip of the Day newsletter. Here's how to use all the HomePod physical controls: * To turn the volume up by one level, tap the + button to make your HomePod louder. * To turn the volume down by one level, tap the - button to make your HomePod quieter. * To change the volume continuously, double-tap and hold the + or the - and let go once you reach your desired volume. * To pause any audio playing on the HomePod, tap the middle of the touchpad. * To resume playback when the HomePod is paused, tap the middle of the touchpad again. * If you have a stereo pair of HomePods as your Apple TV speaker, tapping the middle of the touchpad will pause or resume playback of whatever is playing on your Apple TV. * To skip a song when listening to music, double-tap the middle of the HomePod. * To replay the previously played song, triple-tap the middle of your HomePod's touchpad. This will not play the song you are currently listening to from the beginning but will skip to the previous track. * To activate Siri without using your voice, tap and hold the middle of the touchpad until you see the visual waveform for Siri. Once you see it, you can speak your command without saying "Hey Siri" first. This is useful if you have a lot of Apple devices and want to make sure that your HomePod responds instead of your iPhone or Apple Watch, for example. Image source: Apple   * If you set an alarm on your HomePod, you can dismiss it once it goes off by tapping in the middle. Unfortunately, you can't snooze it with physical controls; you'll have to say, "Hey Siri, snooze" to do that. * If you are using your HomePod as a speakerphone for a call, you can end the call by tapping on the green light on the touchpad. Image source: Apple   * If you are in the middle of a call and a second call comes in, you can tap and hold the green light to put a call on hold while accepting the other call. * If you put a call on hold and accept a new one, as explained in step 12, you can switch between the calls by double-tapping the touchpad. Warning: If you have enabled the VoiceOver Accessibility feature, you can double-tap your HomePod to activate it. If enabled, all of the other controls will require an extra tap! Now you know how to control your HomePod with physical gestures!

Turn Off Notification Badges on iPhone (2023)

What to Know * Notification badges are the red dots with white numbers that appear over app icons on your Home Screen. * These badges tell you how many unread notifications you have from a particular app. * You can turn these off by going into Settings > Notifications > [App Name] > Turn off Badges. You’ve probably noticed those numbered red badges on your apps. If you’re anything like me and you don’t open every email you receive, you probably have hundreds of them on your Mail app. When your notification badges pile up, turning them off can help de-clutter your Home Screen. Now, let’s go over how to turn off notification badges on iPhone. Jump To: * What Are Notification Badges? * How to Turn Off Notification Badges What Are Badges on iPhone? Notification badges are those red app icons that appear over an app with a white number inside. You’ll frequently see them on the Messages app, the Mail app, the Phone app, or any other app where you get frequent notifications. The number in your notification badges simply tells you how many unread notifications you currently have for that app. So, if you see a badge with the number one over your Messages app, that means you have one unread message. When the notifications start to pile up, the notification badger number climbs with it. This can be annoying for those that want to keep their Home Screen clean. For more notification management tips and tricks, be sure to sign up for our free Tip of the Day newsletter. Now, let’s dive into how to turn off notification badges. Turn Off App Icon Badges on iPhone Personally, I am pretty good at keeping up with my app notifications. However, the one area where I am neglectful is my emails. I tend to let unread emails pile up, which results in some pretty staggering notification numbers: In order to keep my Home Screen from looking cluttered, I’m going to turn off notification badges for the Mail app. Here’s how: * Open the Settings app, and tap Notifications. * Scroll down to the list of apps, and find the one for which you want to turn off badges. For this example, I’m going to tap Mail. * Scrolls down to Alerts, and tap the toggle next to Badges, so that it turns gray and is positioned to the left. This means Badges are turned off. * My Mail app no longer shows the number of unread emails on my Home Screen. You can repeat these steps for each app that has a high number of iPhone notification badges, which will help make your Home Screen look much cleaner.

Apple Pencil Not Charging? 6 Easy Fixes (2023)

What to Know * If your Apple Pencil isn't charging, try restarting your iPad, turning Bluetooth off and on, and unpairing and re-pairing your Apple Pencil. * Updating your iPad can also provide a solution if the issue is from a known software bug. * Physical issues might be to blame; clean your Apple Pencil and iPad, and if none of this works, contact Apple Support.  Why is my Apple Pencil not charging? An uncharged Apple Pencil can put a dent in any iPad user's workflow. Buying a new Apple Pencil can be expensive, so before you throw your Apple Pencil away and order a replacement, try these quick and easy fixes. How to Fix Apple Pencil Not Charging Why won't my Apple Pencil charge? Connection issues can cause an Apple Pencil to not charge properly. Luckily, there are a few easy ways to remedy connection issues. Disconnect & Reconnect Your Apple Pencil If your Apple Pencil won't charge because of a glitch, you may be able to fix it by simply toggling Bluetooth off and on again. If you have a first-generation Apple Pencil, try unplugging it from your iPad and plugging it back in again. These simple restarting techniques might get your charging back on track. For more easy troubleshooting tips, check out our free Tip of the Day newsletter. Restart Your iPad Your Apple Pencil may not be charging if your iPad doesn't recognize that it's connected.

Carefully clean both and make sure there isn't any dirt or other physical blockages that could be causing your charging issue. Update Your iPad Software updates frequently address known glitches and bugs, so if your Apple Pencil still won't charge, check to see if you can update your iPad. Even if the update isn't specifically there to address the charging issue, it may do what's needed to get your Apple Pencil working again.

How to Use the HomePod mini Temperature and Humidity Sensor

What to Know * The HomePod mini and HomePod 2 have a sensor that can measure temperature and humidity. * Ask Siri to find out the temperature or humidity level of the room your HomePod is in. * You can use your HomePod’s sensor to automate smart gear in your home via the Home app. Apple surprised HomePod mini owners with the iOS 16.3 update that activated a previously unused sensor sitting on our shelves. This HomePod sensor not only measures your home's temperature and humidity but can also trigger HomeKit automations for your smart home setup! This means that a change in temperature or humidity can turn on your AC or dehumidifier as long as they are compatible. Jump To * How to Use the Homepod mini Temperature and Humidity Sensor * How to Create Temperature & Humidity Automations How to Use the Homepod mini Temperature and Humidity Sensor Learning how to use the HomePod humidity and temperature sensor is super simple. As long as you have a HomePod mini or the HomePod 2, your device has a built-in sensor that can measure the temperature and humidity in your living space. If your HomePod is running iOS 16.3 or later, it should work automatically.  All you need to do is say, "Hey Siri, what is the temperature in my room right now?" and your HomePod's Apple temperature sensor will take a measurement, and Siri will respond. If you are wondering how to check the humidity in your room, just say the same thing but replace temperature with humidity. You can experiment and see what works best for you. Sometimes even a short "Her Siri, humidity/temperature in this room" is sufficient! Just make sure to say "in my room"; otherwise, Siri may look up the weather in your location instead. How to Create Temperature & Humidity Automations One of the coolest things about this HomePod temperature and humidity sensor is that you can use it to create smart home automations. I will explain how to set up Apple Homepod mini (and HomePod 2) automations using this sensor. Even if you don't have a smart device that can turn on your AC, humidifier, or dehumidifier, this automation can still be useful to you. * Open the Home app. * Tap the + icon. * Select Add Automation. * Under events, tap A Sensor Detects Something. * Now you can select a sensor. If you have multiple HomePods, you will see a separate humidity sensor and temperature sensor for every HomePod. Tap Next. * By default, rises above 55% will be selected. You can tap Drops Below instead. * You can swipe up or down to change the percentage. * If you tap Any next to Time, you can select a specific time of the day for your automation to go into effect. For example, you can select "At night" if you want to automate a device to keep the humidity at a comfortable level while you're sleeping. I'll keep it at Any time. * If you tap Off next to People, you can select for the automation to only happen if no one is at home, for example. * Tap Next. * Now, if you have a smart device such as an AC unit, humidifier, dehumidifier, fan, heater, or even a smart plug that can turn one of these devices on, you can select the device or scene from the list below. Unfortunately, I don't have one, so I'll select one of my HomePods and set up an alarm for when the humidity in my house gets too high. Once you've selected your device, tap Next. * Next to Audio, tap Play Audio. * Tap Choose Audio…. * If you have an Apple Music subscription, tap Apple Music to select a song to play when your HomePod detects temperature or humidity outside of the bounds you set. Otherwise, tap Ambient Sounds to select from a list of preset options like rain sounds or forest. * Find a song or audio file you wish to play to alert you of the humidity level. I’ll give you a fun tip for this in the Pro Tip box below.  * Once you’ve picked something, tap Back. * Now tap Test This Automation. You'll hear the alarm you set in the previous steps going off on your HomePod. You can ask Siri to stop the alarm or tap the touchpad on your HomePod to turn it off. * Tap Done and you’ll be returned to the Automations page. You can always tap the automation to make edits! Now you know how to check indoor humidity and temperature and even create automations using your HomePod temperature and humidity sensors. Pro Tip: If you don't have any smart devices to use this with, you can use the Voice Memo app to record yourself saying something like "Warning, humidity is above (number)". You can then select this in step 16 above. This way, your HomePod will say the humidity level or temperature when it gets too high or too low so that you can turn on whatever applicable device will make your home more comfortable. I like this option because anyone in your home will hear this and can make adjustments to your environment before it gets too extreme. Now you know how to check indoor humidity and temperature using your HomePod mini or HomePod 2! So if you've been on the hunt for the best free room temperature app for iPhone, you might already have it: it's built into the HomePod mini you've always had sitting on your shelf. If you want a device to monitor the home temperature while away, this HomePod mini 16.3 update may be the solution you've been waiting for.

How to Change HomePod Wi-Fi without the Hassle (2023)

What to Know * Your HomePod automatically connects to whatever Wi-Fi your iPhone is connected to. * You can only change the Wi-Fi on a HomePod if your iPhone is connected to a different Wi-Fi. * Open your Home app, tap on your HomePod, and follow the on-screen prompts to switch to your iPhone's current Wi-Fi. Changing your HomePod's Wi-Fi is only possible if your iPhone switches to a new Wi-Fi. Your HomePod initially automatically connects to whatever Wi-Fi your iPhone is on, but if your iPhone moves to a new Wi-Fi, your HomePod won't automatically follow. Here's how to change a HomePod's Wi-Fi network. How to Change Wi-Fi on HomePod You might want to change the Wi-Fi on your HomePod if a new, stronger Wi-Fi network becomes available, or if your Wi-Fi goes down and you want to switch to a hotspot. Note: You can't change your HomePod's Wi-Fi independently of your iPhone, but you can change your HomePod's Wi-Fi by switching your iPhone's Wi-Fi first. To switch your HomePod to a new Wi-Fi, make sure to connect your iPhone to that Wi-Fi first. Make sure to be within Bluetooth range of your HomePod when you try to switch its Wi-Fi network. Once your iPhone is connected to the correct Wi-Fi: * Open the Home app on your iPhone. * Tap on your HomePod. * You'll see a notification that your HomePod is not connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your iPhone. Swipe up to scroll down. * Tap where it says Move HomePod to "[Wi-Fi Network Name]." Your HomePod will take a moment to switch, and then align with your iPhone's current Wi-Fi network. FAQ How do I connect my HomePod to a new Wi-Fi network? If your HomePod is already connected to a Wi-Fi network, you'll have to take the steps above. However, if it is brand new or set up in a new location, you can follow the prompts during your HomePod setup to connect it to a new Wi-Fi network. Will my HomePod automatically switch Wi-Fi networks? If you switch your iPhone to a new Wi-Fi, your HomePod will not automatically switch, however, the prompt above will automatically appear when you follow the steps. Also, if you connect to a hotspot and then move out of range, your HomePod may switch back to the original network. If you are connected to a hotspot that moved in and out of HomePod range and your HomePod doesn't appear to be on the same network, follow steps 1 and 2 above to see if it is still connected to the hotspot or reverted. Do my iPhone and HomePod have to be on the same Wi-Fi? Your HomePod can operate independently of your iPhone if it is on a different network, but only in a limited capacity. For example, you will not be able to set a timer if your HomePod is on a different network than your iPhone. For full functionality, make sure they are on the same network.

How to Turn Off Notify Anyway on iPhone (2023)

What to Know * When a Focus is active, your contacts have the option to Notify Anyway when they text you, which means you'll still get a notification. * You can disable this option by turning off Focus Status Sharing in Settings > Focus > Focus Status. * You can also turn off Focus Status Sharing for specific Focus modes and contacts instead. When texting someone who has a Focus active, you've probably noticed a message asking if you want to notify them anyway. Maybe you've even gotten an annoying notification even when you had Focus turned on. What does Notify Anyway do? Can you disable it? In this article, we'll answer these questions and show you how to turn off Notify Anyway. Jump To: * What Does Notify Anyway Mean? * How to Turn Off Notify Anyway * How to Turn Off Notify Anyway for Specific People What Does Notify Anyway Mean? If you have a Focus, such as Do Not Disturb, active and someone sends you a text message, they will see a message on their end saying that you have notifications silenced. They'll also see a button labeled Notify Anyway. If they tap this, their message will be pushed through and you'll receive a notification on your iPhone even if you have notifications silenced. This feature is meant to make it so that others can still reach you if the situation is urgent, like in case of an emergency. However, it also leaves the door open for others to annoy you with texts when you're trying to sleep or get some work done. For more Focus-related tips and tricks, be sure to sign up for our free Tip of the Day newsletter. Now, let's go over how to disable Notify Anyway. How to Turn Off Notify Anyway Notify Anyway is linked to your Focus Status. If you are sharing your Focus Status, you will need to turn it off. There are a couple of ways to do this. First off, you can turn off Focus Status in the Settings app: * Open Settings, and tap Focus. * Tap Focus Status. * You can tap the toggle next to Share Focus Status to turn off sharing completely. If you turn this off, no one will ever know whether or not you have a Focus active, no matter which Focus. The toggle will be gray and to the left when turned off. * Alternatively, you can turn off sharing for specific Focuses. * For example, if you don't want anyone to be able to text you while you're sleeping, tap the toggle next to Sleep. The toggle will be gray and to the left when turned off. Now, whenever Sleep is active, your contacts will not see the message that you have notifications silenced. However, if you do not want to turn off sharing your Focus Status completely, you can disable it for specific contacts. How to Turn Off Notify Anyway for Specific People If there's a specific person in your contacts who tends to abuse the Notify Anyway functionality, you can simply turn off sharing Focus Status for that person. To do that, check out our article on how to customize who sees your Focus Status in Messages. By turning off Share Focus Status with specific contacts, they will no longer know whether or not you have a Focus active and, therefore, will not be able to use Notify Anyway. Now, if you ever find yourself getting bombarded by message notifications while in a Focus, you know how to turn off Notify Anyway. Next, find out how to make your notifications private.
