Shortcuts

Last updated: November 30th, 2023 at 18:27 UTC+01:00 Meta has pushed many security-focused features and improvements to WhatsApp in recent months, including an option to hide locked chats behind a secret code. WhatsApp also made locking chats quicker by introducing a dedicated shortcut in the chat list and another in the chat info screen in the Android version of the app, and those shortcuts are now making their way to the iOS version.

Brett Jordan / Pexels Shortcuts is probably the most frustrating app I’ve used on macOS.

It’s like being given a supercar, but the dealership forgot to include the keys. Most of the time in macOS, the low level of official support is not a problem. But with Shortcuts, it’s detrimental.

If you also want to explore the keyboard shortcuts for Macs, then check out the newly found MacOS keyboard shortcuts.MacOS keyboard…

One of the newest features on the iPhone 15 Pro models is the new Action Button, which replaces the Ring/Silent switch. This change lets you customize this button with whatever action you might want. Although Apple already suggests a few built-in possibilities, there are several third-party apps that make use of the Shortcuts app to improve your routine by bringing a (sometimes) complex operation with a press and hold of a button. For example, right after the iPhone 15 Pro launched, we’ve seen a person…

The more you use Apple’s macOS operating system, the more you come across amazing little tools and features that you’ve somehow never heard of, yet which can totally blow your mind.

Meghan Markle didn’t always conduct her own interviews for the “Archetypes” podcast, according to Podnews. Instead, sources say her interview questions were edited in afterwards. Markle and Prince Harry’s podcast in question ran 12 episodes and was part of a $20 million Spotify contract, the likes of which may not be paid in full because Meghan Markle and Prince Harry didn’t meet their deal’s productivity requirements (as reported by the Wall Street Journal). “Not bad for 12 hours work,” said former chief…
