iPhone / iPad Monday Minute - Quick Swap Between Open Apps

From https://billsiphonetips.com/ Today's video shows a quick and easy way to "swap" - or move, to put it simply - between open apps on your iPhone or iPad. The technique works with either iOS device. In the "old days" of iPhones and iPads, a user (that's you and me) would have to quickly double-press the "home" button on your device (back when they had physical home buttons...) to see a display of all the open apps currently running. Then you could tap on any of those open apps to open it full-screen to use it. Now, the latest versions of iOS have a much quicker (and better!) way of moving between apps, and you'll see it in this "Monday Minute" video. I promise - it's fast and easy! It may take a little practice to get it right, but once you do, you'll never go back to the old way of moving between open apps.

iPhone Friday - Creating Reminders from Email Messages

From https://billsiphonetips.com/ Today's video combines two of the most-used iPhone / iPad apps - Mail and Reminders - and shows you how turn an email into an iPhone (or iPad) Reminder, complete with due-date and time. For me, I get lots of email messages that I need to be "reminded" of at a later date (or time). Stuff like doctors' appointments, car repairs and lots more usually show up in my inbox several days before the actual event. With this technique, you can turn any email into a reminder that will - you guessed it - remind you of the event before it happens. This technique has absolutely saved my bacon many times! Unfortunately, Apple's built-in email app on the iPhone and iPad does not include the "Share Sheet" function that's found in so many other apps. (Why is that, Apple? Can we get some software guys working on this ASAP?) However, that doesn't mean we still can't "send" an email message to the reminders app for future reference. There's at least one good workaround, which we'll show you in this video. Even better, when you create a Reminder using this technique, the actual reminder entry in the Reminders app includes a clickable / tappable link that opens up the original email, right in the Email app. Again, very useful and helpful.
