Hi Ellen, well, I thought I already new this but nope - there is always something new to learn with Ellen. :). Thank you for all these tips and tricks. I love that you speak so slowly and clearly. I don't need that yet and I do know how to slow down a video speed but I think you take great care to cater to all of us lovely oldies. Have a great weekend.

Hi Ellen, I never realized my iPhone had a Magnifier included. This will be a great help the next time I forget my reading glasses at a restaurant. Thanks

Great video, picked up a couple of tips! I find assistive touch really useful. It has its own menu and you can add a link to the control centre from there plus other useful things like restart and screenshot, I sometimes have problems swiping down to enable the control centre. With the assistive touch enabled you see a small dot on the screen that you just have to touch.

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

Thanks for sharing Peachy Nana! I have a video coming up on Assistive Touch. It’s a great feature. Thanks for watching.

[@christinerobinson-eb4my]

Excellent video once again. Just one comment which might be useful for others, on my iphone I have to swipe up from the bottom to open the contol centre. It took me a while to accidentally find that out 😂.

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

Sorry Christine!! Yes if you have an older model you have to swipe up. I should have mentioned that. Thanks for the comment.

[@jackwilson2304]

Thank you.

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

You're welcome! Go Steeler’s

[@jeepysjubilee]

How do I get the calculator control ? I don’t have it in my control center settings. Thanks. Great video very helpful !

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

It’s there by default on the iPhone but if you’re looking for it on the iPad it won’t arrive until iOS 18 in the fall.

[@jeepysjubilee]

@@EllensTipsForiOS Oh ok that’s what I was looking for was on my iPad. Thank you !

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

You’re welcome! It will be there when iOS 18 comes out in September.

[@jamesmcgee2447]

🖐🏻 Ellen , many thanks for the info 👍🏻

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

You are so welcome James!

[@javtimestwo]

Just wait for iOS 18 update later this year. If the stories are legit the control center is going to get a huge makeover and that will be fun to learn, huh? Keep up the great work! What is your most used control center feature? Mine is probably announce notifications

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

Can't wait for iOS 18! My most used control is the calculator.

[@PaulsFishroom]

Excellent video. I found the magnifier function useful when using the camera. However, I have difficulty in cancelling the magnification function when using the camera? Advice please…

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

I’m not quite sure I understand Paul’s Fish room but the camera and magnification are separate apps. So to leave the magnifier just swipe it up and away like any app. If I don’t understand the question let me know. Hope that helps!

[@PaulsFishroom]

@@EllensTipsForiOS the problem seems to be that I opened the app while using the camera and I thought that the app just gave additional functionality to the camera app. At first I didn’t realise that the app was separate from the camera. Still a useful app but not as useful as I first thought. Thanks for your reply 🤓👍

You’re welcome John!

[@Mickey-jn8hz]

If you record a voice memo, where does it go? Sorry, not too tech-y……81 is my excuse….thank you, great video.

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

Hi Mickey! It’s saved in the Memos app. You can export it to another folder if you want to. You can also share voice memos via text or email. Hope that helps.

[@tanagra2]

I have latest IOS update but if I swipe from upper right corner the control centre does not appear. You get notifications. What is required is to swipe from the bottom. What’s going on?

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

Sorry Tanagra2 you must have an iPhone SE or iPhone 8 or earlier model that requires you swipe up from the bottom to access the Control Center.

[@tanagra2]

⁠@@EllensTipsForiOSThank you for replying. I do have an SE, realised soon after I commented, sorry. Love your videos .

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

Sorry I didn’t make that clear enough?

[@ndiaz181]

I have an android phone is this control center, and in my phone ?

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

Sorry I have no idea.

[@virginiabrooks3861]

Ellen what did they do? My KZbin list that I have had forever is gone!!! Can you help us all get it back? Thanks

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

Hi Virginia! I’m not sure what to tell you. You might need to reach out to KZbin.

[@gaylevaughn]

Why is your recording skipping? I cannot hear what you are saying? Am I doing something wrong? Thank you!

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

It must be in your end Gayle! I just checked and it fine. Sorry 😞 Try rebooting your device.
