What I did just so you know is a quick swipe down in the middle of the phone to get into the spotlight search. Okay, don't even know what that is. Spotlight Search is it'll find anything on your phone that you need anywhere so single finger swipe in the middle of the screen here look up at me real quick, single finger swipe down the middle of the screen to get this little search area. Okay, then I just typed in watch and then it brought that app to me I don't have to go search for it or look for it. Oh, that's good. That's really nice.

00:31
a spotlight search you can put in any keyword and look in your email to look through your text messages to look through your notes and look anywhere for that keyword.

Jamie 'jMac' Pollock here. Welcome to the second episode of jMac fixes Everything. Very excited to continue our series called making the switch from Android to Apple.

This week, we're going to continue our conversation with my co-host, Audrey, now that she has her iPhone for a while she's starting to use our apple watch more. And we talk all about how that comes into play. And we have a great conversation talking about what the difference is between reminders the to do list what is an alert, what is an alarm when you're gonna use a calendar event versus a reminder, it's a very confusing topic, we have a great time talking about it. We also talk about a lot of other things like Siri location services, emojis, all sorts of stuff. So thank you for coming by. We hope you really enjoy this episode.

"Hi, everybody."

And this is part two of our new series. And we're still batting around what this is going to look like when we're done. But I'm going to try to get a couple episodes in the can before we do anything with it. I originally was calling it the switcher. But I think I'm going to change that I think I'm gonna call it making the switch to Apple. A little parentheses at the end there.

But last episode, we had a really good little conversation about a couple different things and I'm gonna just gonna bring back up real quick the emotion that how we feel about our tech the frustration of losing information that's in our brain that we've already spent time to coalesce and bring together the peer pressure that we feel when everybody else has apple and we don't and why you know why? Why that pressure? What do we what do we have to do with it?

So it's been a few weeks since we talked last and you've had your tech on your wrist? And in your hand? Why don't you give me an update on how are you feeling? Let's get back to that emotional concept first.

03:41
It still is very emotional. Because there's moments when I'm at home late in the evening, I'm finally able to relax and play a game on my phone or check in with friends do some text messaging, that kind of thing. And I'm still finding myself do the knee jerk reaction of you know, oh, you know, like, Oh, it doesn't work that way.

04:02
Last time. You said, Why did I do this to myself was one of them

04:05
myself, and why isn't this working? You know? And so there's definitely still a lot of moments of frustration where I'm just not used to the tech.

04:15
Okay. Okay, just to kind of keep that gauge on where you're at. Because again, my job is soon to be trying to smooth some of these things over for you. Are you glad you did it? Are you still are you not glad you did it? Where are you on the rainbow?

04:30
I'm very glad that I did it. There's uses that I'm getting out of it right now that I perhaps didn't need before in my previous world of things, but I need them now.

04:40
So why don't you give me just like one or two examples. What's this phone allowing you to do now that you weren't doing previously?

04:47
So I do a fair amount of driving right now. And I've come to realize that I can answer a call on my watch. Every now that's fine. My husband will check in with me and say you know Hey, are you On your way home, that kind of thing, and I don't have to go trying to figure out that I remember to put my phone in a hands free spot. I'm not digging in a purse. I'm not digging in my coat.

05:12
I may be showing my age, but do you feel a little Dick Tracy at that point? Do you know what that means at all? Is that

05:19
oh, you know what that means? Yeah. Dick Tracy, or even Inspector Gadget.

05:24
Okay, maybe that's more modern. Thanks for digging me, digging me out of that hole. But yeah, a lot of my older clients, that's what they say. It's like all of a sudden I answer answer on my watch. And they're like, are you Dick Tracy? What are you doing? percent?

05:36
Yeah. And and so that has been really, really useful. Good. Good. And I also use the watch for an alarm to get me out of bed because it has the, the, you know, vibrational,

05:50
the tapping the yeah, whatever that is. So that's actually let's, let's make sure we hit the technical terms. It's called haptic so and so. So so when you think of it think of taptic right. It's tapping you right to taptic. It's called the haptic engine Ha, PTI. See haptic engine. Okay, yeah, it sounds so weird term,

06:07
but they changed the tack the tap. I don't know what you just did.

06:12
There's no such thing as tap to the tap tick isn't a word. I don't know. taptic is not a word. Haptic haptic is actually a word based on the technology. So the half the haptic engine is what taps you on your wrist. Okay, well, are you are you wearing? Are you wearing your watch at night, then you sleeping with it?

06:30
I am most of the time, I will say that. I don't love to wear it every single night. And partially just because my wrist gets tired of that. I don't know what it is. Maybe it's my getting older or whatever. But I you know, I can feel it. And it wakes me up at night. And I used to not be able to wake up for anything. And now little thing.

06:52
Do I maybe the watch or it may be that we're getting older, I don't let's not even go there. It's not even go there. Have you happened to go into the phone and look in the health app and check your sleep? Stats, you know, that's a new a new feature that they're doing where you can actually look at how long did you sleep? How many times did you wake up?

07:11
I'm not sure I have the same app that you're talking about? My I think I'd mentioned in the last episode, or whatever the one we did this last time that has been has been an Apple user for a long time. And so one of the first things he learned was, you know, monitoring the sleep and all that. And so he kind of pointed me to an app and got me, you know, going with that. Yep. And surprisingly, I'm finding it to be interesting, but also kind of like a Do I really need to care about this,

07:44
TMI a little bit. I'm like, I kind of know, like already, like I slept for hours versus eight.

07:52
You can just feel it, you can just feel it.

07:55
But it's kind of nice to see it to do this kind of extra ignore acknowledgment that well,

08:03
let's make sure we keep touching the informational points. First off, there's three apps on your phone that relate to your watch. One is the watch app where you can do configurations, look at different faces if you want to switch your faces and configure the watch. The second one is the health app. And that's the one that's pulling data from the watch into the health app. So you can like how many steps that I take or you know, what was my heart rate or different things like that. And the third app is the fitness app. And so it does feed into and connect with the fitness app also. Especially if you have an iPad, there's new fitness plus if you're doing like you know yoga or stretching or hit exercises and stuff like that, then that's going to directly link to the fitness app.

But also pull stats from the fitness app into the health app. So there is a little kind of an ecosystem on the phone that links into the watch for that. Awesome so and I think I said before my number one watch use is a timer in the kitchen when I'm cooking. You know set a timer for 10 minutes when I've got to like stir the pasta or making a cup of coffee in the French press let me know when five minutes is up so I don't overstate my coffee.

And I'm just going to say this because I know I see beginners get into this I had somebody actually asked me a couple of watch questions the other day a brand new to the watch had bought a used one. The number one question is how can it not be British man. How can I make it to be any voice but that so I showed them how to go to the apps you know, you take the crown, you push the crown in you get to the apps, find the settings app, right and inside the settings app, we can go to Siri and and alter the voice right so we did that one.

And I mentioned that my favorite watch thing is setting the timer and they immediately said oh let me try it. And they said, set an alarm for half an hour from now. No, setting an alarm and a timer are not the same thing. And so I want to just bring that up here saying that my struggles.

Exactly. So again, we're gonna keep trying to make sure we're bringing in little tidbits of knowledge to make your life better as you're asking questions, and I see and feel the frustration. So let's distinguish this one as a quick little lesson for you and everybody else that might run into this. On alarm is like, in the morning, my alarm goes off. Hey, wake me up every morning at seven o'clock, bing, bing, bing, I'd snooze for nine minutes. Snooze for nine minutes. That's an alarm. A timer is in nine minutes, just go bing, bing bang, and we're done. Right? There's no snoozing, there's no nothing. It's just like set a timer.

And so the other thing that's tricky is if you tell the watch to set an alarm, it's going to set it and keep it on a list of alarms that you've created over time. And then eventually, you go into the clock or the alarm area, and there's like, why are there like
57 alarms for all these weird times? And why are they still there? And then you've got to, you've got to audit that and delete and clean up and maintain it, right? Where you've really kind of distinguish what is it you're trying to do if if I'm just boiling water and I put pasta in and I need to pull the pasta out in 10 minutes. I'm setting a timer for 10 minutes.

11:24
So it's very important to stick with your terminology.

11:29
Really, terminology is important with Siri and voice control. And to a certain point dictation even right? Because if I say new line versus new paragraph, I'm getting some different depending on what I just said. Right, right. And so reminders fit into all of that. Is it an alarm? Is it a timer?

11:52
Okay, so now we're gonna get a little deeper because also you get confused between a reminder in the Reminders app versus an alert on a calendar event.

12:01
No, there's like four terms. Terms on it. There are there's a few there's a few days. Reminder, alarm timer. Yeah, exactly all of these fields time based.

12:14
So a reminder is a to do list item, right, remind me to lock the gate remind me to go to the grocery store, remind me I've got to meet Audrey at 330 for this webinar, or whatever it happens to be. Now for the Reminders app or the to do list. The cool thing about reminders is that you can make them location based or time based. So first location based, remind me to call my clients when I get home. Remind me to take out the trash when I get home. So the minute I get into my driveway, my phone or under watch will be like Bing, bing, bing, you're at your house, remember to do these things that I've told you that I've told you to remind me of.

12:58
So it senses when you're home.

13:01
It's using the location services and the GPS to tell where you are. Another command you can use is remind me to call Audrey back when I leave here. Where's here doesn't matter. But if I'm not here anymore, and I'm moving over there, then my watcher phone should say hey, remember to call Audrey back. Right? I use that one all the time because I drive around in my car going to clients and people call me and I answered the phone hands free, but then I can't type anything in or set an appointment or do anything. So when I get off the phone, I just say remind me to call so and so when I get home remind me to do this when I get home. And so I just make a quick to do list on the fly that is location based.

13:44
Okay, in different locations just turned on by default. That's on.

13:51
But there's a couple of different so on the phone here, which will pull a phone up and I'll just show you where this is.

14:00
And how does it know if it's my home versus somewhere else that I frequent?

14:08
In a bar Okay, let me get my iPhone up here and I'll show you where the location services is. Okay, you can see my phone now. Yep. Okay. So in the phone, we're gonna go into the settings application. And we want to check into the privacy area right here privacy on the very top one is location services. Okay, so it says on as long as location services on this means that this app can access the GPS function of the device. That's what a location services now in my beginner's class, we make fun of this because the question it asks is, Can I use your current location? Nothing sounds more big brother. Than Can I use your current location shouldn't people are like, I don't want to be tracked. I don't want my location on a server somewhere. But that's not really it's not big brother. And I also make the joke when I'm teaching the younger kids, they're like, Oh, I love that show big brothers awesome. And I'm like, no read a book. Like you need to, you need to get a book on here. So here's a list of apps that I can say never use, always use and or use while I'm using. When I'm using the app, you can leverage the GPS.

15:32
I think I just started hit getting while I'm using the app, honestly did not really understand or know what this was

15:41
absolutely fine. And it is can this app use the GPS now, rule of thumb for me is most apps are fine, because that's what the phone is good for. I want to find a restaurant within three miles of me. Yelp needs to use GPS. I want to see a movie at a movie theater nearby Fandango needs GPS. What I don't like my rule of thumb is no social media. I don't want when I post to Facebook, I don't want it to tag it from Seattle. Right when I'm publishing to the internet, when I'm posting on social media is when I shy away. So my social media apps can't use location services. Because if I'm not in my hometown, because I'm traveling, I don't need everybody on Facebook to know I'm not home. So for me, that's just kind of something I watch out for.

16:25
And for me, there's like obvious ones, like the maps, one, you know, that's pretty obvious, you know, once you use the GPS or your location to help you navigate,

16:34
yeah, the Maps app would be absolutely useless. Right? Okay.

16:37
But some of these other ones are just like, Why does it need that?

16:41
So if you're not sure why then maybe you say no, or never. And you can always change it later. So now I'm just real quick. I'm in the Watch app. Okay. And I just because I don't want to I'm not sure where I keep the watch app in here. I think it's over in this fitness area here bump, watch app. What I did, just so you know, is a quick swipe down in the middle of the phone to get into the spotlight search.

17:04
Okay, I don't even know what that is.

17:07
Spotlight Search is it'll find anything on your phone that you need anywhere. So single finger swipe in the middle of the screen here, look up at me real quick, single finger swipe down the middle of the screen to get this little search

17:20
area. You have to be on the homescreen first,

17:23
yes, you need to be on one of the homescreen. Yeah. Okay, then I just typed in watch. And then it brought that app to me, I don't have to go search for it or look for it.

17:33
Oh, that's good. That's

17:37
while spotlight search, you can put in any key word and look in your email to look through your text messages to look through your notes. It'll look anywhere for that keyword. Okay, so I'm gonna go into the watch app. Scroll down from the main screen until we see privacy again. And we'll see if we see location services. And here we don't. Right now a lot of things on the watch are feeding off of phone settings. So if the phone is set a certain way, the watch will just inherit it. But we'll go ahead and search in here, I'm gonna use the search inside to hear just some type and location. And the only thing that's referring to location is current location in the weather area. So this must leverage. Whatever I've let the phone do the watch can do too. Does that make any sense to you?

18:30
Yes.

18:31
So here's the thing as I scroll down, here's all the settings that The watch comes with. Just default because I'm on an iPhone and I have a watch. Okay, right the map setting the messages, setting all that kind of stuff. But as I get down here, it says installed on Apple Watch here are the other apps that aren't Apple based. These are third party apps that have a watch applet. Okay. Right. But you'll notice even here for Yelp, I don't have any settings, I don't have anything I can change. So the assumption is if I let Yelp use location services on the phone, obviously, they can use them on the watch also.

19:14
Okay, okay.

19:17
Okay, so a nice little quick lesson on location services and the fact that that's saying yes, this app can use the GPS portion of the phone. Okay, now let's get back to the question. Reminders location based reminders is how we even got to this topic well of course there's there's time based reminders remind me every Thursday night at eight o'clock to take out the trash.

19:42
Right? You have to be that specific? Well

19:45
to a certain degree, but I personally don't like to do reminders that are repeating on a on a weekly basis. I would rather make a calendar event.

19:54
Okay, I would rather make Oh Siri that

19:58
Siri in the calendar a little more. challenging because you can say, hey, set an appointment for Thursdays at eight o'clock. But the problem that I find with Siri in the calendar, she always wants you to name somebody and send an invite to that person. And it's just, it's a little too automated for me. So I will manually go to my calendar, and make an event and then put a repeat on it, and then set an alert for it.

20:23
Okay, so if you're driving, and you can't be like doing that, you're gonna, I

20:29
would, I would probably say, remind me to create an appointment for this thing when I get home. Okay, we're layering or layering the technologies. Right? It just really depends. I mean, you've got to practice theory, you've got to practice voice control. You know, and for me, there's just some things that I it's just too complicated, and it's too easy to have it go wrong. And then you feel like you need to correct it. Right. And I'm not pulling over to do that. And if I if I do something, and it's wrong three times I'm on now there's three events or three reminders here, three, you know, so I keep it simple. You know, I do some simple things, I practice them when I'm not driving for sure, you know, like, you gotta gotta get used to, to that. But this is a good conversation on like, like peeling the onion on the options, like all of a sudden, there's there are a lot of options on like, a reminder versus a calendar event with an alert versus, like, if it's repeating should it be this or that, you know,

21:37
found that you have to get like really specific. And if you're just not in that mindset to do so then it becomes really weird.

21:46
Yep, yep. And that's when I gave up with Siri and the calendar. And when I would say, Hey, make an appointment with Audrey for Tuesday at eight o'clock and be like, Okay, I'll send an invitation. No, no, no, I don't want you know, I just want to remember something I don't you know what I mean? But when you use Siri in the calendar, that part is kind of part of the automation. So you kind of gotta watch out for that. And how do we start this conversation is that there's a difference between telling Siri on the watch to set a timer versus set an alert or an alarm? Yeah. Right. So that terminology does matter. Okay, so that's our first example of something that you're doing now that you weren't doing before? Do you have another example or anything else you want to share with us? That's, that's,

22:34
I'm having a big challenge with actually with my, the muscle memory, I guess, I should say, because it seems like but everything is backwards. And maybe this is like the apples to oranges coming from an Android to, you know, iPhone and stuff. But when I swipe, I'm like swiping in the completely opposite direction of what I meant to do.

23:01
Oh, weird. Like what I mean, but when you're in an app, like if you're in Facebook, it should be all the same. Right? Facebook is a platform, there's not different on which one you're on?

23:12
I maybe it's the operating system, or I don't know if I'm picking the tech.

23:18
No, no, I so let me address one thing. That again, I can't change it for you, but I can help you understand it. Yeah. And sometimes we can get our brain around it that our physical body might be able to juggle differently or whatever. Yeah. One of the biggest challenges with newer technology, and this is something that Apple's changed specifically when you're on a trackpad, like a laptop trackpad, and you're swiping with couple fingers to scroll. So you're talking about swiping and scrolling and things like that, right? When we just even go ahead, let's demo this. So we see it. Okay. So I've got a scroll bar here on the right side. Yes. And if I click it, and I drag it, I'm dragging it in what direction?

24:03
dragging it down, and what's happening to the page, the pages scrolling upward, going

24:09
upwards. Right. Now, if I'm on my trackpad, and I put the cursor over the middle, if I go up, it goes up, and if I come down, it goes down. Yeah. Okay. So this is called natural scrolling. Up is up and down this down, which is the exact opposite of the way we've all been trained our entire lives, which is to drag this down, so things go up.

24:36
Right? Yes, that is

24:38
the origin of this. What seems like a disaster to a certain degree. Now, the funny thing about Apple is they always want you to have some form of control. And so I could always come back here to my trackpad settings and go to my scroll area. And say I don't want it to be natural, make my scrolling I Natural. Oh, wow. Okay, so now down is up and up is down or I can say turn on natural scrolling. So that up is up and down is down.

25:09
For that you could never sit at somebody else's workstation.

25:13
And I'm gonna go ahead and call this one out. I've got an employee and his name is Payden. And Payden Miller is our marketing guy. And he was a windows. We a paid and he was a Windows guy. And he switched to Apple for us just because he worked with us. And we gave him an Apple computer gave him an iPhone. But he has turned this off. Because he didn't, he didn't want to have to relearn it. He just wanted it to be the way he thought about it. And so anytime I touch his laptop, I go, why is it going that way? Like I've like how you feel about your phone right now? I feel on

25:54
his belly want to mess with somebody? This is the setting the two.

26:00
So but that's on only on Payton's laptop, is that the case? Because when he goes back to his phone let me get in here right up. As I swipe down, it goes down, I swipe up it goes up. Now is that What's let me get in here right up. As I swipe down, it goes down, I swipe up it goes up. Now is that What's blowing you around are always so it's so when you're on the lockscreen. And it's showing you like like that you've had a couple of messages come in.

26:28
Right. So you've got a couple of notifications. Yeah, a couple of notifications on

26:31
an Android, or at least on my last role Androids, I'd be able to swipe, I don't know, left or right, right or left or whatever. And it would basically remove the notification off of the homescreen. And now when I tried to do is the completely opposite, and it takes me somewhere else. Okay, so I'm just trying to get rid of the notification.

26:55
Okay, so let's talk about some the apple basics, like what is you just kind of got to get into your head. So that so that hopefully we get this taken care of. So I'm gonna go back to my phone. You know what, yeah, go ahead and shoot me a text. See, I don't have any notifications right now. And if I swipe down from the top, I should go see notifications, right, I just don't have any notifications. So just shoot me a text so that it comes in, I'll get notified about it. But what I want to show you first is this is if I go into if I go into mail, and I want to delete a message, all I have to do is swipe it to the left. Oops, swipe it to the left, see how that little thing opens up? Yes, so if I swipe it a little bit, I get the options of more flagging or trash it. If I swipe hard, it's just gone.

27:45
Okay, where did it go?

27:48
Either archive or trash depending on how you're configured in mail. Okay, now so when I do this, it says trash, therefore it's going to the trash. But if you are a Gmail account and it says archive, it will be removed from the inbox but stay in the all mail folder. And that's a whole different discussion. Okay, so the other place that that comes into play is in messages, text messages. Right? And if I want to delete a text message, I can swipe that left and do the same thing. Okay, see, that's I can delete this whole conversation. Yeah, no, I don't like deleting text conversations. I like to have them. So let me put the phone to sleep and wake it back up.

28:31
You're on Do Not Disturb. pop up for you can turn that off. Okay. All right. I did actually accomplish something in here.

28:43
Text me again. Shoot me another one. Okay, so there we have we have a notification on our lock screen. If I swipe it left, I can either clear it. Or this is brand new. Actually in the last two operating systems I have options on how am I notified. Okay, so I can just clear this notification or say I want to get better idea of like mute this notification for an hour muted for a day. Turn off all notifications from messages or view my settings for how can messages notify me Okay, okay, but it's still a left swipe to clear to clear the notification

29:26
and also wiping right if you swipe right

29:30
then you're just gonna get like this. This is actually the like a today's screen or like a spotlight. Yeah, so you've got to start thinking I'm swiping left is the way to process things left swiping is the way to process it. Also, I want to make sure that you realize that this is not let me get back in there. If I swipe it left and clear it I'm just clearing the notification the text message is still waiting for me and I Could just tap here and go to the text message.

30:02
Okay, look at that. Look at

30:05
that your Bitmoji your emoji. Yes, me emoji.

30:11
Brian showed me how to set it up and I've been playing with the clothing.

30:14
Yeah. Oh, very nice. You know what I still haven't as far as my main emojis go I think I still have long hair. On my my emojis.

30:28
We you have more than one? Yeah,

30:30
you can make more than one emoji. You can. Yeah. Oh, that's cool. So there's me when I had my long hair. And then this is what I look like now. Super fun. Yeah, looking good. So I don't know if you know this. Also, if you swipe down from the top by the wall clock and down, here's your notification center. So you can see all the notifications that have gone by that you've missed. Oh, okay. Okay. Okay, so that's just on any homescreen or lock screen, top middle of the phone down to get an education center. Now, if you swipe in the middle of the phone, you get that spotlight search. So you got to kind of get that straight. So watch real quick, watch me do a real quick spotlight search in the middle. Notification Center from the very top. Okay. And then if you're too far to the right, and you come down, then you're in the control center.

31:28
Okay. So get it really picky about where you are, and then up is to get rid of your apps. Right?

31:35
Well, that little gray line across the bottom flick that up to close things.

31:40
Yeah. So that one? Well, that's been fun.

31:43
Well, let me say something about that, too, is no momentum. I see people doing this. It No, no, just gentle,

31:55
right? It's just it's so subtle. It's a flick. It's just whoop, flick. Now, here's the other distinction too is if I just flick up, I've closed the app. Right, or excuse me, put it in the background. But if I flick if I if I swipe up and pause for a second. That's when I'm in the app switching area where I can close apps

32:27
are you used to that yet?

32:29
Yeah, I've been closing the apps. I wish they had closed them all at once often, but

32:35
you can close all Safari tabs, you can't close all apps. It doesn't work that way.

32:39
Yeah, that's the other thing that feels backwards is I'm getting used to Safari and the URL, like will disappear. And it's also at the bottom, whereas like the other platforms have it at the top.

32:52
That's brand new, and that just showed up in the last operating system. Apple just changed that on us.

32:57
So you're taking it.

33:00
It's not because you're the switcher. It's not just you. I also am like where is the where's the so I guess let me let me demo that too. Just so we keep

33:11
directions, you know, is like wow, okay, what? Why does it feel backwards? Oh, because it is?

33:18
Because it is hey, wait a minute. It because it is a new thing to do for sure. Okay, so I'm back on my phone, you can see my phone. Okay. I'm gonna go into Safari. One of the things about the way Safari works is if I'm scrolling they want to give me as much screen space as I can get So when I'm works is if I'm scrolling they want to give me as much screen space as I can get So when I'm scrolling up, you notice it disappears. Yes. When I scroll down, it shows back up. Okay, right, just scroll up. It wants to have as much room to see as I can scroll down. And now I've got my location bar and my menu back.

33:53
Okay, so I have to scroll back up in order to read navigate.

33:57
Got scroll down. If you want to find the location bar. Yeah, swipe, swiping up, we'll make it disappear, swiping down, we'll make it reappear.

34:06
See what I mean about the direction

34:10
this one is not you for switching. This is everybody. Just just to tell you,

34:16
okay, and then how do I get to the tabs again to make them all the way down

34:21
here in the square and a square at the bottom the square of the square behind it. Okay. Can you can swipe them left again, swipe them left to make them go away. Or you can touch and hold on the done button and then you get the pop up of close all of them at once.

34:35
You do a lot of research.

34:38
I do have a lot of tabs I keep open where there's a tablet so I'll get rid of that tablets from tomorrow's verse yeah, there's my red well, how do you say sorry in ASL? Nice. I was actually at the bar and there was a guy that sat down next to me at tomorrow's verse. And he was doing he had his phone up and he was just stalled. And he was just like going nuts. And I was just like, Dude, are you okay?

Are you okay? Like I like, you know, I kind of checked in on him and he was just like, and then it hit me. He was he was deaf, and he was signing in through his phone. And then I felt terrible. And I was like, sorry. Yeah. And then he actually gave me props for realizing and making sure I had the right sign to apologize to. Well, I've got a bunch of above Deaf clients that say blind, deaf, excuse me. Deaf clients and not blind, deaf. So I've been trying to learn some ASL some American Sign Language anyway, just because I need it to help them. Okay. So I feel like we covered a lot of great topics. And hopefully, we're kind of again, just guiding you toward this understanding of it was this way, and now it's this way, and we're kind of gotten specific. I remember last conversation, there was a specific question that you had asked me and I got all excited about it. And then you changed it on me. Do you remember what that question is? Do you have it on your list?

36:21
I don't know. I've got a number of things on my list here.

36:26
Well, we got time for one more if you want to bring up one more kind of like, conundrum switch your conundrum.

36:33
Well, okay. Okay, here's one that I don't know if you can answer or not.

36:41
She's playing stump the chump. We love. We love we love car talk around here.

36:48
Do I have the ability to schedule a text message?

36:55
Not until iOS 16 comes out? I think it's coming out in the next operating system is not there yet.

37:02
Like I want to tell my bestie that, you know, does not want to do it tomorrow at like the crack of dawn. No,

37:10
or? No. You know, that may? I'm not sure if that's the feature at that time. Yeah, I'm not sure if that I mean, we kind of expect that to show up and mail along before text messaging. I mean, just think of think of the world we would live in if everybody could automate text messages.

37:27
Well, so I we use, I used to, I used to write like I had, maybe it was the app that came with the phone. Maybe it was a different app? I don't know. But I also noticed that the apps on my iPhone are, they're not always the same, right? Like some people,

37:47
the developers change them a little bit depending, you know, and or, you know, like, with Apple apps, there's some common icons and or standard ways of doing things. And the developers do kind of have to adhere to those standards. So it can be a little bit different can be a little bit weird.

38:04
Well, and I've searched for apps that I used to have that are not offered on iPhone.

38:09
I mean, you might have to do that in like a whatsapp situation. Or some you know, there might be like in Facebook Messenger or something weird, but not natively and messages.

38:20
So this is how I used to, you know, help people think that I was really on my game as I was scheduled.

38:29
Yeah, the things that are coming in iOS 16, two messages that are like groundbreaking, but we're not sure how they're gonna affect privacy is being able to edit messages after you send them. Oh, wow. And then delete them, like remove them say, Oh, I didn't mean to send that I'm going to unsend it. And then that comes back to you know, if somebody's being stalked if somebody's being abused, if somebody is like, you know, being harassed over text messages. And the people just go in and be like, See, I didn't say it forever, you know. So I'm not sure how they're going to handle that. And we're kind of expecting to hear more about that before I was 16 launches, or Iowa 16 is not going to have this in it when it happens. So

39:15

that's a fair answer. I mean, you know, I mean, I was apparently using it for all the wrong reasons. And

39:23
part of my job is to tell people what they can and cannot have how to do something. Yeah, like, does it do this? And how do I do it? Yes. Should it do this? Right, like, we still have to keep a small eye on that part of the technology. How did we do today? Did you feel

39:39
better, better? Yeah. I think understanding the terminology behind the alarms and the timers in the end is really kind of funny, too. I mean, you'd mentioned in the, you know, kitchen cooking and set a timer and whatever. Right and I it didn't really dawn on me that I was setting a timer in that sense of setting timer, right? I just wanted that alert from, you know, Siri or whatever

40:05
I was with a client and I said I'm gonna set a timer. They said set an alarm for half an hour and I wouldn't know exactly rollout exactly wrong. So

40:14
my husband will be like, Hey, can you can you set set a timer for 15 minutes or whatever and and now now it's really funny because he has a watch on his wrist, right? So I get to look at him and be like, Hey,

40:32
let me Google. Let me Google that for you. Right how

40:35
that works, honey.

40:36
Hey, all right. Now Now you're talking. See, now you're talking we're gonna get you like above speed. So you're like ahead of him a little bit. And then you can start start giving him some.

40:47
It's kind of your personal, you know, assistance anymore. You've had the watch longer than I have.

40:56
And I also I have a watch class, I encourage you to take an hour out of your day and watch the watch class. You can even watch it at 1.25 time if you want to speed it up and hear me talk like I

41:11
did we cover whether or not I got the right one? Did we cover that last time?

41:15
You did talk about that last time. And I just remind you the hard drive space is the only concern I normally have. When you're buying a new phone the version isn't even that important. Do you have a high enough level camera that you're happy with it all the cameras are awesome. The only question I always have is did you get a big enough hard drive because if you want to record 4k video, that could be like 10 gigabytes of space. But honestly, they don't make below 128 anymore, like 128 gigs is the smallest hard drive that a lot of the phones can have. You know so if you get the iPhone SE I think maybe you can get a 6064 gig drive or something like that, but almost everything else is 128 then higher.

41:57
What I am getting a lot of right now is your phone is so small, I'm like well yeah, it's a 13 Mini

42:06
Yeah, right. Right. So an iPhone people Hey, know you've got you switched, you did the switch, don't let the peer pressure tell them to you know, they're actually that's jealousy that's not even peer pressure that's your phone still fits in your pocket. That's like weird okay with that I want to thank Audrey for spending the time with me and being my my test subject my switcher willing to come with her questions and, and guide all of us, right?
