There are a lot of ways to make small text bigger on the iPhone. Here's the one I prefer.
A new feature in iOS 18.2 allows you to change your default apps for email, web, phone calls and more in a new section in the Settings app.
Beyond basic math, and even more complex math, you can do things like: multi-unit conversions, currency plus unit conversions, calculate and convert, time conversions and calculations, and adding percentages.
Text Clippings have been around for a long time, allowing you to drag and drop a previously-saved rich text snippet into a document. But how useful are they today?
MacWhisper is a third-party Mac app you can use to transcribe audio and video locally on your Mac. It is feature packed, going way beyond what macOS Sequoia includes.
In iOS 18.2 you can now get the current app and use it in an If statement. This can be handy in creating Action Button shortcuts that do different things depending on which app is open.
A small new update to Pages, Numbers and Keynote gives easier access to Apple Intelligence writing tools and Image Playground. It also allows you to ask ChatGPT about your open documents.
A new feature in macOS 15.2 and iOS 18.2 is the ability to create links with highlights in Safari. These links take the recipient directly to text on a web page and highlight it.
While building a recent MacMost video, I posted microblog-style while doing it. It gives some insight into my process and a few useful tidbits as well. You can see the whole thing at Bluesky without even needing to log in at https://bsky.app/profile/rosenz.bsky.social/post/3lcqanpunc227. But I have also compiled an image with all of the posts.
NOTE: macOS Sequoia will most likely come out Monday, December 9. I’m releasing this video then. If 15.2 isn’t out yet when you first view this, consider this a preview of what is to come very soon…
Here is a simple Shortcut that will let you add minutes to a timer that is already counting down on your iPhone.
