How to Check Your Wi-Fi Ghz on iPhone & iPad (iOS 17)

What to Know * To know if your Wi-Fi is 2.4 or 5 GHz, open the Settings app, then look next to the name of your Wi-Fi network. * To change from 2.4 to 5 GHz and back again, tap Wi-Fi in Settings, then tap the Wi-Fi frequency you want to switch to. * The 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi frequency is weaker, but has a larger coverage area. 5 GHz Wi-Fi has a smaller coverage area, but a stronger signal.  Are you wondering what Wi-Fi frequency your iPhone or iPad is connected to? Here's how to check your Wi-Fi GHz on an iPhone. How to Check Your Wi-Fi Ghz on iPhone & iPad   Be sure to check out our free Tip of the Day for more great internet and Wi-Fi tutorials. Now, here's how to know if your Wi-Fi is 2.5 or 5 GHz, and how to change your Wi-Fi frequency.  * Open the Settings app. * You'll see Wi-Fi with a network name and either 2.4 or 5 GHz next to it; it's just that easy to find out which Wi-Fi frequency you're using! If you want to change Wi-Fi frequencies, just tap Wi-Fi. *  The network you're currently using is the one with the blue checkmark next to it. Tap the network without the checkmark to change from 2.4 to 5 GHz, or from 5 to 2.4 GHz.  FAQ * What does 2.5 GHz mean, and what does 5 GHz mean? GHz is short for gigahertz; 2.5 and 5 GHz are two frequencies with different speeds and ranges used by your Wi-Fi router.   * Should I use 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz Wi-Fi? 2.4 GHz has a larger coverage area and can penetrate solid objects better than 5 GHz, but has a lower data rate. But, 2.4 GHz usually has more devices connected, and is more prone to interference.  * What GHz is my Wi-Fi? It's easy to check if Wi-Fi is 2.4 or 5 GHz on an iPhone or iPad; just open the Settings app, and you'll see your Wi-Fi frequency next to the name of your Wi-Fi network.  By now, you should know how to tell if your Wi-Fi is 2.4 or 5 GHz.

5 Quick Ways to Secure Your iPhone

With hacking making the news every few weeks, it’s high time to take a moment and tighten our digital defenses. Apple makes tons of privacy and security tools available, but it’s up to you to make the most of them. 1. Use a Strong & Unique iPhone Passcode Your passcode is the entry point to your digital security; with the keys to the gate, an attacker can walk right past the walls. With only your iPhone (and the passwords it saves), you can log in to most of your online accounts, so don’t make it easy! Make sure your iPhone has a passcode on it and use a 6-digit code rather than 4. To set your iPhone passcode, go to Settings > Face ID & Passcode (or Touch ID & Passcode) > Turn Passcode On. You can also change your passcode on that same screen if you’d like to set a stronger one. For more iPhone security advice, be sure to check out our free Tip of the Day newsletter. 2. Protect Your Passcode One of the most consistent threats to your very-modern digital property is the oldest one on earth: thieves. Crooks sometimes sneakily film you entering your passcode before they snatch your iPhone. If they succeed, they can use your passcode to get into your stolen iPhone, and then away they go helping themselves to whatever they want from the device, including bank accounts, credit cards, and more. Make sure that you use Face ID or Touch ID to cut back on how often you have to enter your passcode in public, and if you do have to enter your passcode in public, then hold your phone where only you can see. To turn on Face ID or Touch ID, go to Settings > Face ID & Passcode, toggle it on, and walk through the setup. 3. Turn On Find My for All Your Devices Find My is Apple’s built-in app for tracking lost and stolen devices. Apple’s security systems are designed so that Apple can’t track you: they don’t have access to your Apple ID passwords or Find My. That means they can’t help you if your iPhone is lost: you have to do it yourself. You can turn on Find My in Settings > Your Apple ID > Find My > toggle on Find My iPhone. Then go and turn it on in the same place on your Mac and iPad. This doesn’t just help you find a misplaced iPhone hiding under your car seat, it also lets you remotely disable and lock your iPhone if it’s ever stolen. 4. Use a Strong Unique Password for Your Apple ID With just your Apple ID password, a crook can log in to iCloud.com and register your iPhone as stolen, locking you out of your own device (even if it isn’t actually stolen). If you’ve been using the same password in multiple places, your Apple ID is the first one you should change to something unique! Go to the Settings app > Apple ID > Password & Security and then tap on Change Password to set a new unique password. Remember: longer is better than weirder. Use four random words, randomly generated, to get a nice long password that’s easy for you to remember and hard for computers to guess. While you’re there in the Password & Security menu, make sure that Two Factor Authentication is turned on (it’s on by default with newer Apple IDs). Final tip: use a password manager like iCloud Keychain or third-party options like Bitwarden, 1Password, or Dashlane to store the login credentials of all the accounts you’ve set up online, including your Apple ID! 5. Set Up an Account Recovery Contact Losing access to your Apple ID account would be a real nightmare, as it stores your photos, contacts, app purchases, the locations of your devices, and even your passwords for other accounts (if you use iCloud Keychain to save your passwords). Protect yourself by designating an Account Recovery Contact. Go to Settings > Apple ID > Password & Security > Account Recovery and tap the button labeled Add Recovery Contact. Your phone will let you designate a contact who will receive a special code you can use to securely recover your account if you’re ever locked out.

See Real-Time Transcriptions of Voicemails (iOS 17)

Ever get a call from an unknown number, but don’t want to pick it up? Live Voicemail is a new feature that takes the iPhone back to the days of answering machines. Now, whenever you receive a call, you’ll be able to see a live transcription of the voicemail message being left by the caller, as they're leaving it. Why You’ll Love This Tip: * Find out who’s calling and why before you pick up the phone. * Make sure it's someone you want to talk to before you answer a call. * Interrupt your friends while they’re in the middle of leaving a voicemail. How to Use Live Voicemail on iPhone System Requirements This tip works on iPhones running iOS 17 or later. Find out how to update to iOS 17. While iPhone voicemail transcriptions have been available for some time now, Live Voicemail works a bit differently in that it provides the transcription while the voicemail is in progress, rather than after. It’s super useful in helping you determine who is calling and why so that you can decide whether or not you’ll answer the phone. To get the most out of the latest iPhone features, be sure to sign up for our free Tip of the Day newsletter. While this feature is enabled by default when updating to iOS 17, here’s how to confirm that it’s turned on and working: * Open the Settings app, and tap Phone. * Scroll down and tap Live Voicemail. * Tap the toggle to enable or disable Live Voicemail. * When you get a call, tap the Voicemail icon at the bottom-right of the screen. * You may see a message that says "Waiting...". Wait a moment, and the transcription should begin. * If your device is locked, you may need to unlock it to see Live Voicemail. Just swipe up from the Home Bar. * When your iPhone unlocks, tap the voicemail icon in the status bar (or in the Dynamic Island if your device has one). * You’ll then see a live transcription of the message being left. Since most unknown number calls turn out to be scams or spam calls, this feature has been super useful for finding out exactly who is calling before I pick up the phone. However, this works with all phone calls, not just ones from unknown numbers.

How to Pause Your Location on Find My iPhone (2023)

What to Know * Find My iPhone lets users see the location of their own devices, as well as the locations of their friends and family. * To stop sharing location with Find My iPhone, open the Find My app, tap People, tap the contact, then tap Stop Sharing My Location. * You can pause location sharing with Airplane Mode or by turning off your phone. Here's how to freeze your location on Find My iPhone, make your location stay in one spot, or even how to spoof or fake your location on an iPhone. Remember, use your powers for good, everyone! Jump To: * How to Turn Off Location Sharing in Find My iPhone * How to Freeze Your Location on an iPhone * How to Fake a Location on an iPhone &iPad How to Pause Your Location on Find My iPhone It's essential to turn on Find My iPhone in case your iPad or iPhone gets lost or stolen; it's also a great way to share your location with friends and family members and see their locations. But, if you want a little more privacy, here's how to freeze your location on Find My iPhone, and how to fake your location on an iPhone. Be sure to check out our free Tip of the Day for more great Find My iPhone tutorials! How to Turn Off Location Sharing in Find My iPhone The easiest way to pause or freeze your location on Find My iPhone is to turn off Location Sharing. Here's how to turn off location sharing on an iPhone or iPad. Keep in mind that this is not a way to stop sharing your location without notifying the other person. When you stop sharing your location in Find My, your friend or family member will be able to tell you stopped sharing your location—if they're checking—because they'll see a screen that says No location found. They will not, however, get an official notification from their phone that says you have stopped sharing your location. How to Freeze Your Location on an iPhone If you want to stop sharing your location temporarily, you can turn on Airplane Mode. Airplane Mode turns off the wireless features on your iPhone or iPad, so your location will not be updated in the Find My app. You can still use Bluetooth devices like AirPods, headphones, and speakers. Here's how to turn on Airplane Mode. * Open the Control Center on your iPhone or iPad. * Tap the Airplane icon to turn on Airplane Mode; it will turn from gray to orange, and you'll see a small white airplane icon at the top of your screen while Airplane Mode is on. If you don't want to use Airplane Mode, you can just turn your iPhone or iPad off. These methods are also not a way to stop sharing your location without a notification, because there will be a slight difference in the description at the top of the screen. As with above, the person with whom you are sharing your location will not received an official notification that you've stopped sharing. They will just see the difference in how you appear in the app. * While you are sharing your location and not using Airplane Mode, and have not turned your iPhone off, your friend or family member will see Live at the top of the screen.     * When you turn on Airplane Mode or turn your phone or tablet off, your friend or family member will see a number of minutes at the top, which indicates how many minutes ago Find My was connected.  How to Fake a Location on an iPhone &iPad If you want to fake a location on your iPhone or use an iPhone location spoofer, here's how, and I surely hope you're using this information for something innocuous like playing Pokemon Go. There are several third-party apps that will allow you to fake a GPS location on your iPhone or iPad, but it's difficult to find a highly-rated one. Here's one that seems to check all the boxes: Tenorshare iAnygo ($14.95/ month) This app for Mac and iPhone will let you change your GPS location without jailbreaking. This works with all location-based apps, and is compatible with the latest iOS update.  FAQ * What happens when you pause your location on Find My iPhone? When you pause your location on an iPhone or iPad, your friends and family members will see the location where you were when you froze or paused your location with the number of minutes since your location was live.  * Does Find My iPhone work if Wi-Fi and cellular are off? Apple says, "If you turn on Find My network, you can locate your device or item even if it's not connected to a Wi-Fi or cellular network. The Find My network is an encrypted anonymous network of hundreds of millions of Apple devices that can help you locate your device or item."    * Can you find a lost iPhone if the location is off? You can find a lost iPhone, even if it's dead or offline, but if you've turned off Find My iPhone, you're only going to see the last location of your iPhone before your turned off Find My or before the battery died.  I hope this article has taught you how to freeze or pause your location on Find My iPhone. If you enjoyed this article, you may also want to learn how to send someone your location, the fastest way!

How to Use Custom Photo Stickers in iOS 17

iOS 17 has brought with it a bunch of cool new features. But the new Custom Photo Stickers is my favorite update yet. With iOS 16, we gained the ability to remove an image from the background of a photo. This takes that concept, streamlines it, and then gives us a bunch of new and fun ways to customize it. Here's how to make a sticker from a photo on iPhone with iOS 17. Why You'll Love This Tip: * Create stickers of various subjects that will be accessible through the emoji keyboard wherever you're typing. * Add effects to the stickers, like making them a GIF, turning them holographic, and more. How to Make an Image a Sticker with iOS 17 System Requirements: In order to use this tip, you will need to have updated to iOS 17 on any of the following devices: * iPhone 14, 14+, Pro, Pro Max * iPhone 13. 13 mini, Pro, Pro Max * iPhone 12, 12 mini, Pro, Pro Max * iPhone 11, Pro, Pro Max * iPhone XS, XS Max * iPhone XR * iPhone SE (2nd Gen or later) Before we get started, there are a few important things to note. Firstly, to create an animated sticker on the iPhone, you will need to choose a Live Photo. You can create static stickers with any photo, but for the sticker to be animated, the photo needs to be a Live Photo. While you will be able to send the stickers to almost every texting application, some apps are not yet updated to allow the sticker to be animated. Additionally, the stickers will sometimes remain very small and blurry. This happened when we shared our own stickers in the iPhone Life company Slack. Another problem people tend to have with the feature is that it struggles to pick up the subject. Not all photos have a clearly defined subject for the AI to identify, so try to choose photos where there is a clear subject. Users also find that sometimes the Live Sticker option is finicky, and it seems to only work within the Messages app at present. Hopefully, though, this feature will be able to work across more Apple native apps and others with future updates. Lastly, it's important to remember that the other person you are sharing the sticker with must have updated to iOS 17 to see the intended result. With all that being said, this feature is still very cool nonetheless. Here's how to do it! How to Make iPhone Emoji Stickers from a Photo This feature is so much fun to use, and I've already created many stickers of my cat and sent them to my family and friends. If you like being in the know about the latest Apple software updates, be sure to sign up for our free Tip of the Day! * Open the Photos app and select a picture where the subject clearly stands out from the background. Additionally, choose a Live Photo if you want the sticker to be animated. * Tap on the image. * Then, tap and hold for a quick moment directly on the subject to bring up the menu. You will know the subject has been highlighted because there will be a silver line around the border of the subject. * Tap Add Sticker. * Next, if you want to add an effect, tap Add Effect. * From here, you can choose the Original option. * With the Original option, you can also tap Live in the corner as long the photo you chose was a Live Photo to animate your sticker. * You can also choose Outline, which gives your subject a thick white outline, just like a real sticker. * The Comic option will turn your subject into a drawing. * The Puffy option makes the sticker look like a 3D puffy sticker. You can tilt your iPhone to play with the shadows and light to see that it's 3D. * And lastly, there's the Shiny option, which turns your sticker holographic.
