Yup. I agree. Fortunately, this lag thing is not a bug I'm dealing with on my XR. Everything else... yes, but not the sluggishness. Cristóbal -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Sunday, September 20, 2020 7:35 AM To:

Smart news question about adding or getting rid of channels

I really like the smart news app. I know there are tabs for various categories. I also know there are channels, lots of them. Sometimes, I will see an article from a new source, and at the bottom it will say add this channel. But I’m already seeing the article, so I don’t understand what they

I very much agree here, always thought how nice it would be to be able to turn off how Voiceover says "Dock" whenever I touch one of the apps there. After all, it doesn't say "Home screen 1" if I touch an app on my first home screen and I think Apple really needs to tie such redundant

For me, the first thing under Settings, general, Software updates, is a button labeled, Automatic updates. Double tapping on that gives, two options, automatically download, and automatically install. You can turn either or both off. Now, this may be new in 14, so you possibly don’t see that.

Hi, There is a way to do this with voiceover. What you do is first, put focus on any icon of the home screen then use the action rotor to select edit mode then double tap. Now, put focus on the page indicator I just found just above the dock toward the middle and then double tap. Now you will

That would be considered a feature by Apple, just like the Dock saying the Dock when you touch the apps at the bottom of your screen. Apparently, we are supposed to know we are in the Toolbar, or Dock, as if one couldn't figure that out because it is the last line of the screen. Richard "He
