How to Use a USB Drive with an iPhone or iPad

Sometimes we run out of space on our Apple devices. External storage for iPads and iPhones can be tricky to use, so we are going to walk you through using a USB (also called a flash drive or thumb drive) with both an iPhone and an iPad. This will help you easily transfer things like photos to an external storage device or external hard drive. Moving certain items to external storage will free up space for you to keep taking photos and utilizing your device to its fullest potential. Let’s look at how to use a USB drive with an iPhone or iPad. Related: Photo Management Guide: How to Organize, Share & Store Your iPhone Photos What's in This Article * How to Use a USB Drive with an iPhone * Tips for Using a USB Drive with an iPad * How to Use a USB Drive with an iPad: Lightning Cable Port * How to Use a USB Drive with an iPad: USB-C Cable Port  How to Use a USB with an iPhone The easiest way to use a USB drive with an iPhone is to use a device designed for this purpose, such as a USB drive with a Lightning cable adapter attached. This device plugs directly into an iPhone with no extra devices. It's a small, portable, and efficient method to expand your storage space by moving items from your iPhone into external storage so that you can free up space on your iPhone. Most USB drives for iPhones have their own apps. No two apps are identical so we can’t walk you through each individual process, but we can give you an idea of how this will typically work. Here's a step-by-step explanation for using a USB drive with your iPhone: * First, download the app that accompanies your USB flash drive. When plugging the flash drive into your iPhone, it may prompt you to download the accompanying app on its own, but if it doesn’t, you can download it from the App Store by searching the device's name or following the instructions included in the device’s packaging.  * If you haven’t already, plug your flash drive into your iPhone.  * A message will appear on your iPhone screen. Make sure to tap Allow on that message. * You will be directed to go to the app associated with your flash drive. On that screen, you will likely see information like how much storage is available on your phone and how much is available on the USB. You will also see transfer options. Each USB drive and app will look a little different. * The instructions included with your USB flash drive will be the most useful. We suggest following those instructions about what to do next.  * The app will likely ask you if you’d like to delete photos or files you’ve just transported from your phone to the drive. If you are trying to clear up storage on your phone, you will want to delete the items you have just transferred. Otherwise, feel free to choose as you see fit!  Tips for Using a USB Drive with an iPad Using a USB drive with an iPad is slightly more complicated. Newer iPads allow you to connect an adapter in order to use a USB drive. However, some USB drives require more power than an iPad can offer. Before purchasing a USB drive, ensure that it is compatible with an iPad. Your iPad allows you to transfer photos from your USB drive to the iPad, but you won’t be able to add any other types of files. You can also transfer photos from your iPad to your desktop, or keep them on the USB flash drive in order to utilize external storage for your iPhone.  iPads have a couple of different ports, which means you will need to know which port your iPad has before deciding which method will work for you. The iPad Pro has a USB-C port. All other iPad generations have a Lightning port. Need to check which iPad you have? Check out our iPad identification article to help you narrow it down.  How to Use a USB Drive with an iPad: Lightning Cable Port Option 1: You can follow the instructions used for the iPhone, and use a special USB made for a Lightning port Option 2: You can purchase a cable that is Lightning to USB. This type of adapter plugs into your iPad on one end and a USB (flash drive) on the other end. When plugging in your USB flash drive for the first time, you will likely be prompted to follow the instructions to download an app and allow access similar to the steps for an iPhone.  How to Use a USB Drive with an iPad: USB-C Cable Port You can use a USB-A to USB-C cable to connect your flash drive to your iPad. A USB-A is the technical name for a flash drive. A USB-C cable is the technical name of the port on many Mac computers and the iPad Pro.  * Connect the adapter to your iPad and plug in the USB-A to the other end of the adapter.  * Follow the prompts to move files from your iPad to your flash drive. * Your flash drive will come with instructions. Each flash drive is slightly different. For a general guide to how to use your flash drive, follow the instructions to use a flash drive with your iPhone. Now that you know how to use a USB flash drive with your device, you can remove photos and files from your iPhone or iPad in order to create more storage. This will help your device function more optimally, and will free up space for you to keep taking pictures!

Review: Tranya T10 Wireless Earbuds

The audio accessory company Tranya has steadily been expanding its product catalog with a broader range of wireless earbuds. The company has recently released a new design, the Tranya T10  ($79.95). Has Tranya made a huge improvement to Tranya's previously released Rimor model that I reviewed last year? Read on to find out. Related: Best Cheap AirPods Pro Alternative & One No-So-Good Option Currently the most expensive model in Tranya's catalog, the T10 wireless earbuds are IPX7 waterproof and dustproof, and Bluetooth 5.0-compliant. They feature 12mm graphene drivers to deliver deep bass audio reproduction in a tiny package. The earbuds can provide up to seven hours of playtime before they need to be charged. If you're on the go, a quick charge (10 minutes) recharges the batteries for roughly another hour via the 480 mAh Qi-wireless capable USB-C charging carrying case. The wireless earpieces can be operated via the usual touch-based controls for play/pause, next/previous track, volume up/down, answer/end call, and they even offer the ability to select sync or mono operation mode. In addition to the earbuds and charging case, the T10 package also includes a short USB-C charging cable, three separate earbud tip sizes, and the usual booklet guide. Like the Rimor model, the construction quality is almost entirely hard plastic, making them durable but rather cheap to the touch. Considering the cost, this degradation in material quality is expected, yet strikingly noticeable. While these earbuds do suffer from the same chemical aroma that eventually makes its way into your sinuses, it's not nearly as overwhelming as the Rimor model. Still, I can't help but be concerned about what kind of long-term effect this manufacturing byproduct has on the listener. Sound-wise, there is noticeably more bass compared to the Rimor model, but the mic still makes the caller sound tinny and compressed. Perhaps a future model will not only improve the manufacturing materials but also focus on the quality of the microphone-captured audio. Pros * Durable * Deep-sounding bass earbuds * IPX7-certified waterproof and dustproof design * Quick charging case * Comparably inexpensive Cons * Subpar mic audio quality * Slight chemical aroma Final Verdict Overall, Tranya is incrementally building on its past successes with the T10. The design still 100 percent perfect in terms of besting competitors, but they are nonetheless improved. It would be interesting to see if and when Tranya is ready to take on the high-end market to see how the company would fare with much better manufacturing materials in an even smaller package. Until then, the T10 earbuds offer a decent listening experience at the right price.

How to Improve Voice Memo Audio: Enhance Recording on the iPhone

Apple has released an enhancement to improve audio quality for Voice Memos on iPhone. No more searching for an audio recording app to enhance sound quality! I use Voice Memos frequently when doing interviews or taking notes for projects I'm working on, so I've been looking forward to this new iOS 14 Enhance Recording feature for some time. Anyone who records audio will find relief in the clearer sound and reduced background noise for new Voice Memos and previously recorded memos. Here's how to use this simple, one-touch feature. Related: How to Make a Voice Memo into a Ringtone on iPhone How to Enhance Voice Memos on the iPhone This new audio improvement feature is tucked away in the Apple Voice Memos app, so it isn't something you're likely to stumble upon by mistake unless you regularly edit your recordings in Voice Memos. For more tips about the great new features Apple included in its iOS 14 update, subscribe to our free Tip of the Day newsletter! Here's how to find and use the Enhance Recording feature to improve sound quality on your Voice Memos: * Open the Voice Memos app. * Either record a new memo and then tap on it when you've finished recording, or select an existing recording. When you tap on it, the recording field will expand to give more options.   * Tap on the three dots at the bottom left of the expanded recording. * Tap Edit Recording.   * Tap on the magic wand icon at the top left to improve sound quality. * When that icon is blue, you've turned on Enhance Recording for that memo. * If you'd like to turn Enhance Recording off for that specific recording, tap the magic wand again. It's as simple as that! Yes, it's a little anticlimactic, but in most recordings Enhance Recording makes a very noticeable difference in sound quality. Please note, though, that some recordings won't be much different because the feature may not have much to suppress or "clean up" from the audio in the recording, or it may have a hard time discriminating between wanted sound and unwanted sound in certain circumstances. Still, I've been quite pleased with the results I've seen in my own improved Voice Memos!

How to Remove Apps from the Siri Suggestions Widget on the iPhone (New for iOS 14)

The new Siri Suggestions widget for iOS 14 groups your frequently used apps together in one place on your iPhone Home Screen. At first, having your most-used apps in one place seems great. But if you're trying to cut back on using social media or playing games on your iPhone, or don't want everyone to know that you've downloaded Tinder, having those apps front and center becomes a problem. We've gone over how to add widgets, including the Siri Suggestions widget, to your Home Screen in a previous article. Now we'll show you how to stop individual apps from being included in the Siri Suggestions widget. There are two ways to remove an app from the Siri Suggestions widget; using your iPhone Settings, or via the widget itself. Let's get started.  Related: How to Hide Photos on Your iPhone (Updated for 2020) How to Remove Apps from the Siri Suggestions Widget on the Home Screen If you see an app in the Siri Suggestions widget that you'd like to remove, you can quickly and easily remove the app right there. * Touch and hold the app you want to remove from the Siri Suggestions widget. * A menu will pop up; tap the Don't Suggest option. * Confirm that you want to remove the app, and it will be removed from your Siri Suggestions widget and replaced with another app suggestion. How to Remove Apps from the Siri Suggestions Widget via Settings You can use Settings to remove apps that are currently showing up in the Siri Suggestions widget as well as to prevent apps not currently being suggested from showing up. * Open the Settings app. * Tap Siri & Search.   * Scroll down and tap the app you'd like the Siri Suggestions widget not to include. * Under On Home Screen, toggle off Suggest App.   * After you turn off this setting, you may still see the suggested app may in the Siri Suggestions widget. In that case, you'll need to lock your phone, then unlock it, and the app will no longer appear there.

Review: InvisibleShield Device Disinfecting Wipes by Zagg

We are all trying to stay healthy and one way to protect yourself is to sanitize items you touch frequently, especially your smartphone. The folks at Zagg, owners of InvisibleShield, among other brands, have been shipping alcohol wipes with their screen protectors, so it was a no-brainer to offer Disinfecting Wipes (starting at $4.99) on their own. They are sold in packs of 10, 25, or as many as 500. At those sizes, the unit price is $0.50, $0.40 and $0.14 each, respectively. Since you'll probably want to clean your phone and other household phones at least daily, most people will find that the largest pack will prove to be the best deal. You can also use the wipes to sanitize remotes, keys, headphones, and other household non-porous surfaces, so it's unlikely that you'll see any wipes go unused. At their small size, about one square inch, you could keep one in your pocket, a few in your car, and a few in a household drawer to make sure you're always prepared. I could also see businesses placing the large size box in public areas like break rooms to encourage their staff to sanitize their phones. It's important to keep your family and your staff members healthy, and this is a simple way to do that. They are a nice companion to InvisibleShield's antibacterial glass screen protector, and InvisibleShield promises the 70% isopropyl alcohol wipes will not remove the screen protector's antimicrobial layer. Pros * Simple, small, and easy to carry * Available in 10, 25, and 500-pack sizes * Affordable in high volume * Trusted brand Cons * Pricey at low volume Final Verdict The Disinfecting Wipes from InvisibleShield by Zagg are a simple way to keep your phone clean and yourself healthy.

Review: Adonit Note-UVC Stylus

I love when a product I've reviewed gets better. Case in point, the Adonit Note. I recently reviewed it, and I won't cover all of the details because much of those observations remain. Instead, I'll focus on what's new or different with the Adonit Note-UVC ($69.99) that Adonit sent me to try. Related: Review: The Logitech Crayon vs the Apple Pencil First, the company has indeed taken away some features. The UVC version is only sold in black with gold accents instead of gold with black accents. Second, Adonit took away the pen clip that I have appreciated as it keeps the stylus in place, but there is a valid reason for removing the clip. In its place, the stylus now has an actual UV light to disinfect surfaces! Lately, everyone is very conscientious about sanitizing their phones, tablets, and other surfaces—as they should be. While you could find, buy, and carry a dedicated device to do just that, the Adonit Note - UVC adds that function for just $20 more and it doesn't take any extra space in your gadget bag. With one device to charge, you get a nice stylus and a UV sanitizer. Charging is done via a micro-USB port at the back of the stylus. A nice benefit of this is you can charge it while you use it. The UV sanitizer draws a lot of power ,so it only lasts for thirty minutes (thirty one-minute sessions is suggested) so this is not meant as something to sanitize a doctor's office. But it should be fine for your office or home work space. Another nice feature is a built-in gyroscope that senses when the UV light is facing up and turns it off to protect your eyes. Pros * Nice stylus for half the price of Apple Pencil * Replaceable tip * Easy to charge even while in use * Palm rejection * Adds UV light with auto sensing for safety Cons * UV light lasts for thirty minutes * Foregoes clip to make room for UV light * Uses micro-USB not USB-C or Lightning Final Verdict The Adonit Note - UVC is a nice, healthy upgrade that is still priced less than an Apple Pencil.
