You should do a video on how to create an audiogram via a hearing test app and thereby improve audio on AirPods.

[@MrDingleberry31]

If you know how to do that, please share

[@MohammedShahin]

If you long press the plus button next to the text input field in iMessages, it'll directly open the photos or gallery. It's the same as choosing the gallery option from the menu.

[@quadimus]

I searched for thunder sounds as well as motorcycle and fire. All worked well! I was presented with still pictures of the search results as well as audio (in videos) of the results. Pretty cool feature.

[@igorua178]

Never getting bored of your videos-so informative!!! Thanks

[@brisser1]

That sound search is gold, gold I tell ya!

[@boblyle8121]

Thanks as always for your high quality content!

[@mannym7849]

Hi Tom, thanks for another fantastic video explaining how to make iOS 17 more useful and productive. Congratulations 🎉 to you both on the birth of your twins a few weeks ago, all the best 😁

[@suzanner3894]

Always excited to see your videos. You always manage to find something that I didn’t know about IOS. Well done.

[@TrippHo]

Thank you for your video. I just learned that Live Photos can be saved as videos directly.

[@rschaefe1]

Great video, I especially like the tips on creating a shortcut - something I need to try.

[@emanuelpillay7579]

Your content is always helpful and useful. Thanks for South Africa 🇿🇦 👌

[@M4NA5]

I’ve got a 3 sec. video that I’d like to use as a live wallpaper. How to go about doing it?

[@rominaespinosa]

I had no idea about the search sounds in videos feature. I just tried it and was able to get some results. Thanks for the guide! ☀️

[@noahmadsen3319]

I love this KZbin channel!! so much good info!

[@RandyHanley]

Your videos are, by far, the best iOS how-to videos. They're honest and not clickbatey and a very useful.

[@andyfx]

Wow the search for sounds feature. Works brilliantly. Thank you !

[@tp7147]

Thank you Tom always superb content covered in your videos. Really helpful and clearly put across. And a belated Congratulations to you and your wife and family on the birth of your two beautiful babies they are adorable. Welcome to the parents club ❤

[@weircottage]

Really flawless and professional presenter. Always interesting and informative

[@petarcubas2951]

Thank you for all your professional videos. You are the best.

[@brottochstraff]

It actually opens the songs on spotify directly for me as i have spotify installed. really nice!

[@MrDingleberry31]

WOW. Thanks. Great summary and some real useful features I would have never know about. Appreciate the work!

[@kohili8]

Outstanding! Your videos are some of the best on KZbin. I appreciate your tone, speed, and accompanying graphics clearly depicting what you’re talking about. Love your channel! ❤😊

[@robcbr91]

I completely agree!!!! 👍

[@Joe-lb8qn]

NIce. That camera shortcut seems useful for me. Thanks.

[@shivanshshukla989]

You have a soothing voice. Content is good too.

[@maikaimakena9424]

As always you have the best videos. I really love offline maps it helped me ditch Google Maps

[@segorteclesmayer9336]

Great video and tips. Txs for sharing

[@PhilRead80]

I can't believe I didn't know about search by sounds in videos. I'm usually to speed on iOS functions. Great video as always.

[@davidhardwick3816]

Brilliant video - thanks!

[@stratman103]

Awesome video as always. Thanks!

[@slippyu1]

the first search I put in for sounds was 'engines' and it came up right away 👍🏻

[@shreyasjoshi3743]

Very nice video really mentioning about hidden updates

[@SaltAndVi]

Nice tips, didn't know about many of these.

[@a.mariedixon-jenkins]

As always an excellent and informative video. At present I am enjoying some of IOS17 features on my iPhone 11 and my 2 year old iPad. I plan to upgrade my phone to either 15 Plus or 15 Pro soon. Thanks for the upload.

[@steveh7216]

Great tips Tom! 👍 There's another feature you may like to include for your next video that's in iOS 17... "Live Stickers", which are a cool feature for text messages. :)

[@robsawalker]

Another great video, as usual! Thanks for these tips. The Live Photos are definitely flaky though, if I edit one and try to loop it it doesn't work at all sometimes

[@KevinJandus]

When they introduced searching for text in photos that made a HUGE difference when it came to productivity for me. I was wondering if they'd do something akin to that for videos and it looks like they did it with some sounds which is great! I hope they add the functionality to add more sounds, words and even text in the video. THAT would be a huge game-changer I think! =) Tom - Thanks for pointing out the 'sound search' feature - had NO idea you could do that! Fantastic!

[@janeybaby069]

Thanx again for a highly informative video

[@DrumSorcerer]

Interesting features, and useful video as usual! PS. Idea for a drinking game. Take a shot every time he says "photo"! 😁

[@elizabethyoung8150]

Thanks once again great content 😊

[@thethirdcrouch]

thanks for the cropping one! i've been meaning to understand it but haven't found a good instruction 😅

[@arashy]

Thanks for the info! Kept thinking I was doing something wrong. I hate the way iOS 17 dealt with cropping my favorite picture of my late cat-it blurred from the top of his head down to passed his eyes.

[@Marvin-fn7ks]

Im old but like learning and you are a great teacher!

[@cynthiag3065]

Thank you ☺️

[@BruceVigneault]

Great content and quick and dirty! Thanks for the education ;)

[@mansoorahmad927]

very helpful 👍

[@mgaming7]

great info.

[@dwainwilder7337]

Hi! This is a great informational video. Is it possible for you to create a tutorial on using the notifications app in ios17? Particularly sounds, vibration and the scheduled summary section? I have already seen a few videos, with one being totally wrong and confusing. I think with you explaining it in your clam manner, it will be easier for me and many others (who may be interested) to find it very understandable. Thank you in advance!

[@deetrvl4life875]

Love your videos! I just wish there was a way to lock the last action in an iPhone menu. Kind of like the camera remembers the last settings that you used. Is there a way to do that?

[@raymondnjagala1097]

Beautiful video

[@user-il5cw4pp6v]

Tim, do you just prefer using light mode or are you simply using light mode because of the video?

[@JimFlanneryDRONES]

On the LOCK SCREEN display, I made photos of my Rec. Centre BarCode and Costco BarCode, and used FOCUS to have those activated whenever I reach those locations. It works flawlessly! Er, but you can't insert your phone in the slot of the GAS PUMP. But it works inside the STORE.

[@gnybbe]

Thanks!

[@sailendrapamidi]

Hey Tom - thanks for these educational videos. I enjoy learning from them and find your newsletter very engaging read. On the Siri back to back requests - is there any setting that needs to be turned on? For some reason, the back to back does not work. I wait for the first command to complete and then try to continue with the next related request but Siri does not activate until I say "Siri" again. A quick google search showed there are other users who are experiencing similar issues and Apple has no input on that in their forum.

[@ThePigletpilot]

Another great video of useful features. Really disappointed with Siri since I updated. She appears to have gone deaf and we don’t have the option of “Siri” in New Zealand 😢

[@georgeiscreative]

Thanks for another great video! Any tips on why 'Listen to Page' is greyed out in the Safari pop up menu? I tried with several web pages and articles. (iOS 17.0.3, iPhone 13 mini)

[@Leedscity]

Great. Video mate. How do you turn on the transcribing of iMessage voice notes? I can’t figure out how to do and it’s not instructed anywhere

[@MartinSchabbauer]

Ohlala. Great stuff. Great video. 3:18

[@sailendrapamidi]

One easier way to add the shortcut for Portrait or any came ra mode is to just open the Shortcuts App and in the All Shortcuts list navigate to the Camera section. Click on the > sign and it would expand to show all available options. Press and Hold on the Portrait icon and in the popup menu select 'Add to Home Screen'.

[@peterheels5495]

Started using reminders as my groceries list, although found it limited with no aisle numbers or costs to items. Are Apple planning on further enhancements?

[@oljobo]

Thank You! I found something new and useful! In iOS17 I can now dictate without Internet connection and also dictate indefinitely IN NORWEGIAN LANGUAGE 😃. This worked before in English language, but dictation in Norwegian required Internet connection AND it stopped after one minute anyway. So this is great news for me and I don't know how many other languages this has become a reality 👍😊

[@JuliusBjornsson]

I’m honestly not sure if this is a new feature, but I’ve recently discovered that you can assign actions to double and triple tapping on the back of the phone. Have you tried that out?

[@donfrankie]

Does the crop feature replace or make a new photo? Because it might not be optimal if it just replaces the old larger photo.

[@anthonyferrara2222]

I have an I phone 14 pro which is just about a year old. My battery life is a 96%. Does this seem normal to you or a am I charging the phone incorrectly? Thanks

[@728474]

Hi Tom. I would like to know if the below scenario is possible. I have two iPhones one with an active sim another without a sim which is connected to a DAC + receiver ( wired for hi res music playback ). But both are in the same WiFi network and logged on to same Apple Music account. Now I would like to “view” music playlist and “control” music from the iPhone ( with the sim ) from my couch of the iPhone ( wired ) which is actually playing the music. Is this possible ? Please help.

[@272roby]

iPhone 15 Pro Could you please explain why the audio sounds like it's coming out of a tin can? Is there a possibility to echo it somehow? Thank you

[@TechflareTV]

how do you edit your iphone with the frame afterwards?

[@joshuaoehler5796]

In photo search, "talking" also worked well. "Barking" also returned results, but wasn't very accurate (results included a cat meowing and a goat eating). I also searched "running" and got a video which included a man moving quickly through the frame. That portion of the video was helpfully highlighted, just like the sound search.

[@sandrahanna934]

After downloading the new iOS 17 on my iPad (iPad Pro 11” 4th gen) I have a thick black frame Is there anyway I can remove that?

[@SLATEB0Y]

i have yet to have any voice messages transcribed (ios 17.0.3) Are there some settings we need to change or is it limited to certain languages or regions? (im UK english btw)

[@janicelaswell361]

How to change the default timer sound? The set default sound is to low to hear. It’s very frustrating!!

[@soliver68]

One more thing is in the music app: you can now display information (artist, producer, …) about a song (three dots menu). Not yet linked like in movie apps, but maybe in ios 18 😁

[@RiQWitDaBliQ]

Also in iMessage if you hold the plus sign it’ll take you straight to your photos.

[@bewithasn9195]

Could you plz address the issue where phone app consumes 1gb to 4gb of data for contact & poster in ios 17. Is this a bug or something?

[@JesseFlannery]

Did they update and remove the camera mode? It isn’t working for me.

[@sbradley34]

What's the scrub option?

[@babycharliebrown]

Just recently downloaded IOS 17 and it seems to have gobbled up loads of my memory! Anything I can do to remedy this?

[@vaidy2000]

Hi. would like to have a video on iPhone 15 Pro please

[@SkwrHdz]

At the 5min 17 sec mark you displayed a QR code on the screen. If I'm watching on my iPhone how can I scan that QR code if the iPhone I'm using that is displaying the QR code is the only phone available to me?

[@TheCallyjean]

How on earth do I get to download the lock screen wallpaper at the start of this video? It's not automatically on my 13 Pro? Can you help?? Please?

[@TenkoMary]

Drink every time he says photo

[@Sinnebuleo24]

Aaaah! Now I can’t stop counting every time he says Foutoe. 😂 😂

[@issiewizzie]

Apple should be thanking you

[@zahifar3936]

The added gradient to black on top of a photo is a great addition. I wish Apple would already include the feature of taking a scrolling screenshot, that it that goes beyond the visible page. Samsung for example have had a smart implementation for years. It’s occasionally useful for me, but good to have a swift solution when needed instead of having to open an app for that. Typing here as it the channel has some direct line to Apple Inc.

[@nares2005]

You can do that in Safari. Choose Full Page instead. That’s all.

[@zahifar3936]

I never paid attention to that. Thanks!

[@karenkirkpatrick6715]

Is it worth it trading an iPhone 13 Pro Max for an 15 pro?

[@jpjp3873]

How about a dedicated alarm volume toggle?

[@aa85720tw]

Swiftie from Taiwan: NICEEEE now I know it all too well!

[@Azza662]

How do assign a phrase for a shortcut?

[@69megacock]

In message, 6:55 you can also long press + to directly go to photo

[@ThomasEJohnson]

I hope you have an indepth dive into iPadOS17 coming up? 😊

[@Thepublicaccount]

Can you cover FaceTime voicemail. Example my friend called left me a message I didn’t know what it was and pushed it away and no clue where they go

[@thomaslomax8769]

Organiser of the Home Screen does not work on a IPad 9th generation running ISO 17.0.3

[@brottochstraff]

Live photo to video. But still not able to grab a frame out from a video and save as a photo (without 3rd party apps)

[@theeTRIPPYone]

Shouts to Dave East that new album is fire 😊

[@ProperHonestTech]

Yup 🙌🏻

[@mrbee15]

Howay the lads!

[@artfartzy]

You can also just use Siri to open the portrait shortcut, just say Portrait and it will open. Then you dont need to have it on the homescreen.

[@LarryFasnacht]

QUESTION; how do I get Siri to stop listening?

[@ghornik]

What happened to your newsletter this week?

[@joTHIraja.]

I Already know all these, I won the bet 😂😅

[@georgecaplin9075]

Probably the best place to ask this, in another video, PHT, (don’t know his name, I’m sure he’s said it somewhere), said about shopping lists in reminders. I made one in the phone, (the function’s quite cool), but it didn’t show up in the watch app. Somebody on this channel can help me, surely?

[@jamesakadamage]

whats the square monitor i need one name?
