Hello Cearbhall, Great minutes.
I have a small device called Tile.
You can attach it to a key ring and when you press a button on the device it
causes the iPhone to ring.

Subject: [fb-exchange] Cork Meeting Saturday 23rd. January 2021
Inn attendance: (12 participants)
Gavin Allman, Martha Parkinson, Martin Kelly, Paul Griffith, Pat McCarthy,
Derry Walsh, Ken Walsh, Jackie McBrearty, Chris Egan, Dominique Farrell, Noreen
Meagher, Cearbhall O'Meadhra.
Noreen is getting used to her new watch. Various members offered useful advice
on what can and cannot be done on it. The watch is waterproof and really useful
as a fitness monitor with many intriguing features for swimming.
Dominique needed help with two-factor authentication on the iPhone. She
encountered it when trying to hook up her watch with the phone. Jackie had
recently discovered that when she connected the Envision AI app to her camera
on the iPhone, she had to use two-factor authentication and was surprised to
find that she was not asked for any security verification after that. Ken also
shared that experience. Jackie noted that a continuity keyboard appears
whenever a password is required. This is a qwerty-style keyboard that only
appears when entering passwords and does not appear when entering text in the
body of a message.
Ken wondered if his battery was running down too quickly in his iPhone 11. He
explained that the sate of the battery can be seen in "Battery Health" under
settings. Compared to other iPhones among the membership, this was a
significant drop and might indicate a faulty battery. Pat advised that the
battery life could be lengthened by managing apps more efficiently and only
keeping them open while they are in use. Ken likes to keep his phone locked
during lengthy sessions such as the regular Zoom meetings, so that the usage of
the battery is considerably reduced.
The presence, amongst members, of various iPhone models without a home key,
opened up a question of how to access functions previously requiring the home
key. Jackie, Chris and Ken explained the single finger up-stroke and double
tap that achieves the home key function. All felt that they had become so used
to the new keystroke that they no longer missed the actual home key.
Pat drew the attention to a special feature of the iPhone 12, the presence of
"Lidar". Lidar stands for light detection and ranging. It uses lasers to ping
off objects and return to the source of the laser, measuring distance by timing
the travel, or flight, of the light. Nobody in Ireland has used it yet but
Jackie had heard that UK users are using it to maintain social distancing. This
is a development that would be worth watching.
Pat is a volunteer in assessing a new app that is still in development on
behalf of the RNIB-Northern Ireland. The "Finderr" app competes with the Seeing
AI app and, he finds, is more effective at identifying physical objects. The
app works with a library of images so it can identify an object that matches
one of these. Pat was disappointed that it failed to recognise a wheelie bin
although it was very accurate in identifying a whiskey bottle. A lively
discussion ensued in which various objects were discussed. Some very practical
detection requirements relating to dog management and cleaning up created quite
a stir but no firm conclusions emerged!
Chris had a bit of a fall recently and his iPhone went flying out of his
pocket! He had an awful time trying to find it again and wondered if there was
any solution that others could offer. Hey Siri was the best option.
Gavin was worried that he could not keep track of the premiership in Britain.
Derry found five Live very good. Paul likes Talk Sport as it broadcasts live
matches. Jackie found that other services were able to provide preview
discussions but were barred from reporting the actual matches.
Martin asked Jackie about saving photos in the Cloud. He wondered if they were
deleted from the phone would they still remain in the iCloud. Jackie explained
that this depends on the synchronised setting in the iPhone. With this control
"on", the photos are removed from all connected systems when deleted from the
iPhone but remain in the cloud if not synchronised. Pat pointed out that items
saved in the iCloud have to be kept active. If the iCloud is not used for a few
months, the contents are automatically deleted, even though the storage is paid
for, in accordance with the terms of the agreement with Apple. This applies
when data is backed up to the iCloud in the course of an update. So, Pat
suggested that users regularly click "update", even if there was nothing to
update, to avoid a break in continuity.
Prior to the meeting, Jackie raised an important question on the FB-Exchange
list looking for help to attach multiple files to an email from within the
Files app on the iPhone. She needs to attach several reports to one email on a
weekly basis and is tired of having to add each file singly every time.
Cearbhall recommended using Dropbox so that she need only update the files in
the same folder every week. This would mean that she could just send a Dropbox
link every week. Jackie was not comfortable with this option.
Everyone got down to the job of finding the right answer. Acting on the many
suggestions that began to emerge, Jackie eventually found the perfect solution!
here is the answer:
1. open the Files app;
2. double tap on Browse" at the bottom of the screen;
3. A new screen will appear, showing a list of folders;
4. select the button marked "on my iPhone" ;
5. A new screen will appear, showing various folders such as "Microsoft Word"
folder, double tap to open the desired folder;
6. In the new screen that opens, find the "more" button at the top left of the
screen;
7. This opens a range of options, double tap on "Select" to start a selection
mode;
8. Next, double tap each file that is to be attached (VoiceOver will confirm:
"files selected" on each one);
9. When all are selected, double tap on "done";
10. open "share" and double tap on "Mail";
11. This opens a new email message with all the selected files attached.
Great teamwork, everyone!
the meeting ended.
All the best,
Cearbhall
