In this episode, Thomas Domville demonstrates how to delete your entire iPhone call history or a specific call.There are several reasons why individuals might choose to delete their iPhone call history or specific call log entries. One common reason is to ensure privacy by removing records of personal or sensitive calls that they wish to keep confidential, especially from others who may have access to their phone. Additionally, deleting old or irrelevant call logs helps maintain an organized call history, making it easier to find important calls and reducing clutter.

In this episode, Thomas Domville delves into the seamless sharing of content from your iPhone screen via iMessage, thanks to Siri’s enhanced capabilities. Apple has equipped Siri with on-device processing, offline support, and advanced contextual awareness, which facilitates a smooth “Share This” feature.Here’s the process:When you’re in any supported application, such as Safari, Apple Music, or Photos, you can initiate sharing by saying, “Hey Siri, share this with [contact name].” Siri will grasp the context and ask for confirmation to share the particular content. Afterward, you have the option to append a personalized message before sending it off.Should the content be unsharable directly, like a weather forecast, Siri cleverly captures a screenshot to share instead.transcription: Disclaimer: This transcript is generated by AIKO, an automated transcription service.

In this episode, Tyler demonstrates how to start your Mac in safe mode and explains in what situations this may be useful.Safe mode is a feature of macOS that disables login items, third-party drivers, and legacy system extensions at startup, useful if an incompatible item in one of these groups is causing a problem with your Mac. In addition, system caches are cleared, and a light check of your startup disk is performed when starting up in safe mode, which can identify possible issues that could be causing slower than expected performance.To start up in safe mode, start up the Mac while holding down the Power button, and interact with your startup disk (usually called Macintosh HD) in the grid that appears. Focus on the Continue button and route the mouse pointer to it by pressing VO-Command-F5, (or VO-Command-Globe-5 if you’re using a Mac with a Touch Bar) hold down the Shift key, and click the mouse. Maintenance tasks are completed once the Mac has finished starting; restart your Mac to exit this mode.If y
