ed How to Configure Your iPhone or iPad with Touch ID to Open Immediately After Authenticating By www.applevis.com Published On :: Mon, 14 Aug 2023 20:51:17 +0000 In this episode, Tyler demonstrates how to configure your iPhone or iPad with Touch ID to bypass the Lock Screen and open immediately after authenticating.By default, after authenticating with Touch ID, you should hear what sounds like a lock opening, at which point you can either press the Home button if the device has one, or slide up from the bottom if it doesn't.

Hello AppleVis, good evening from Ida and tonight I'm going to be doing a podcast app demonstration of an app called Connected Breath.This is a meditation app that connects people from all around the world to do a meditation together.So this app works just similar to apps that are social media apps where you can connect in real time with people but you can't communicate with them.It simply shows you how many people are using the app at a time.So if I open the app, open Connected Breath, this app is used in portrait mode and the first thing we get is to select breathing duration.You can do one, three, or five minutes.I'm going to select three minutes and then I will show you what happens.For anybody who's curious, I'm using an iPad.I'm using Daniel as my voice over voice, the compact version of Daniel because I like him better than the enhanced and I'm using an Apple keyboard that doubles as an iPad case.So you can choose to breathe for one, three, or five minutes in this app.I'm going to double tap on three minutes and you're going to hear a bell.And then go to the bottom of the screen, okay that message is going to change throughout the meditation.I will show you, okay so that's the starting sound and then breathe in, breathe out.This message is changing with the music.Breathe in, breathe out, and now it's going to change.You are breathing in and then it's going to tell you how many.Seven other people are currently connected right now.The stars in the distance are the people breathing, that's the visual representation.We are all breathing together, we are all connected, I guess I don't need to repeat.Now close your eyes and focus on your breath.Now the rest of the time it's going to say breathe in and breathe out over and over again.And for those of you with perfect pitch, you will notice that it's saying breathe in on the C chord and breathe out on this like A minor type chord.So if you don't want to constantly listen to the messages, just listen to the music and follow the music.You hear the peaceful nature sounds in the background?You kind of hear a breathing noise too, it's kind of creepy honestly.Breathe in and breathe out.See it's still changing from breathe in to breathe out.And it will… Full Article

If you find that hearing these suggestions spoken by VoiceOver is more distracting than helpful, you can turn them off by going to System Settings > Keyboard, clicking the Edit button under the "Text input" heading, and toggling the "show inline predictive text" switch off.transcription:Disclaimer: This transcript is generated by AIKO, an automated transcription service. It is not edited or formatted, and it may not accurately capture the speakers’ names, voices, or content.Hey, Apple vissers, Tyler here, with a quick tip for how to disable predictive text suggestions on macOS.By default, as you type on your Mac, macOS attempts to finish words and phrases that it thinks you're trying to type.While this may increase the speed of text entry for some, if you're a voiceover user, you may find that hearing these suggestions spoken while you're trying to type is more distracting than helpful, in which case you can turn them off.To do that, go into system settings, keyboard, hit the edit button under the text input heading, and turn the show inline predictive text switch off.And I'm going to demonstrate that now, I'm going to system settings on my Mac, k for keyboard, vio command h to get to the text input heading, vio right, edit, and at the leftmost of this dialog, k, that's what we want, vio right, scroll area, interact with vio shift down arrow, and vio right until I find the setting I want, show inline predictive text, if I vio right once more, show inline predictive text off switch, it's off for me because I turned it off.If it's on for you and you want to turn it off, just press vio space, then stop interacting with the scroll area, with vio shift up arrow, and vio right to done, hit it, and here we are back in keyboard settings.So now as you type, you will not hear text suggestions predicted by macOS, which could almost ironically increase your speed of text entry because this feature is off and is no longer giving you distracting or potentially distracting feedback.So that's a tip for how to disable predictive text suggestions on macOS, I hope you found it helpful.Peace.Thank you.
