Did you know that when you open up Photos, there is a search bar on the bottom right? If you type in something like “dog,” all of a sudden, dog photos appear. If you type in “dog beach,” then photos of a dog on the beach appear.

There are many ways to scan a recipe or document. Most people use their iPhone camera to take a photo of it.

In the Notes App, you can scan a piece of paper by clicking on the Camera icon on the bottom and choosing Scan a Document.

But there is another way on the iPhone using the Files App. Open up the Files App and choose iCloud Drive, where you can store the scan. On the top right is … three dots — click on it and create a new folder where the scan will be placed. Now click on your new folder (nothing exists in it yet), then click on the … three dots again and choose SCAN.

Your camera comes on, so position it over the paper, hit the white button and then Save. You can also take more than one scan if you have two or more pages.

Try it out and save important receipts, news clips, articles or documents.

Here is something everyone should do if you have an iPhone and you’re concerned about apps tracking you. Go to Settings, Privacy and Security, and make sure that you don’t have “Allow Apps to Request to Track” turned on. Then go back to System Settings, click on Safari, scroll on down to “Prevent Cross-Site Tracking and turn that on. Then go up to “Hide IP Address” and check mark that on.

A lot of people think that if they remove an App, they are going to save space on their iPhone. Well, there is another way that allows you to keep the app and save space. It’s called Offload, and I’ll show you how to use it.

Open up Settings, General, iPhone Storage, select the app you want to off load and choose Offload App. If you go back to the desktop, the App is still there but has a cloud next to its name. If you ever want to use the app again, just click on it, and it downloads. This can save you space with out removing the app totally (then you have to go to the App Store and download and install it again). So, you’ll save space on your iPhone and still have the app showing.

Okay, to end this issue, we are going to have some fun — so get READY. First we are going to choose Messenger and then choose a friend. On the bottom left is the Camera icon. Click on it and choose Video. On the left side is a STAR, so click on it. Wow, a whole bunch of colorful icons appear; we are going to choose the three colorful circles. Double wow! On the bottom, you can scroll over and see many images of yourself in colors and black and white. Go ahead and choose one, click on the “X” and then the big Red Dot to start the video and White Dot to finish. Now click on the blue circle with the up arrow in it, and it’s sent out.

If you want to save the video, you can click on Done, and it’s saved to your photos, where you can use it a couple more times with another friend.

Try this out and get a kick from what your friends say!
