maps and an Italian one called Ariadne, there was no information on
how these were accessible on the Android platform.
Eamonn was still having issues with voice over when replying to emails
on his iPhone, Bert suggested that Eamonn contacts him to see if the
problem could be resolved.
Cearbhall wants to change his iPhone 7, the SE2020 was suggested by
several members, advised to research whether to get the phone on a
contract or buy it out right and claim the VAT back.
The online Sight Village which starts tomorrow was discussed, to register
go to the Queen Alexandra website or contact Stewart Lawler to gain
access to the Sight and Sound area.
The Signal app was mentioned, some users found it good for texting,
voice messaging and making phone calls. The Cork group will be trying
out the feature to set up a conference call. there are some issues
with unlabelled buttons.
Mentioned was the advantage of using the iPhone as a hotspot to connect a
laptop to the internet when on holiday.
There was a discussion on the various user groups available, the
following were mentioned:
Check in and chat group, information from NCBi website

Apologies if I have forgotten to mention any issues raised, my brain
ran out of memory. Paul, get well soon.
