Adding Contact Card To Contacts

Good morning, Someone sent a contact card to me from their iPhone contact's list via email and I haven't been able to figure out how to add it to my contacts, or how to open it. I'd be happy to learn how to do this on either (or both) my iPhone and/or my Mac. All help most appreciated! Joy

Phone Numbers And Text Messages

Good morning, I was wondering about a couple of things: First, is it possible to find out what phone number a text message was sent from if it isn't sent from a number in your contacts? I received one the other day and all I can get from it is an email address. Second, can one add a phone

Re: Following in native Twitter app

When I follow an account I tap on the profile, and find the follow button between the profile picture and the account's blurb. I'm doing this on the phone so I just start at the top and swipe right a few times until the follow button comes up. If there is a way to follow without first going

Voice Over And Twitter App

Thanks Sieghard! That did the trick, didn't think of multi-finger swiping. What does punctuation do? Didn't expect that to be an option. Thanks for introducing me to this terrific little shortcut. Since Siri and I do Not get along I adore this alternative! Joy "Avoiding danger is no safer

Hand-writing IN Rotor

Good evening, I just read about this feature in the rotor, it is new to me and I went to check it out. I'd really like to make use of it, however, when I bring it up it is saying lower case and I'm afraid my printing doesn't extend to lower case letters. Is there a way to switch

Re: Siri Not Setting Alarms

For me it really has nothing to do with the update. I haven't updated to 13.6 yet, and the first time it happened was before 13.5. But as mentioned it is intermittent! I can set alarms and have them go off without a problem for a week or more, then one doesn't. The intermittency is why I

Complicated is beginning to have more appeal! But in the early days or when in a rush (or having almost forgotten and already in bed) calling out to Siri can be useful. "Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. ... Life is either a daring adventure or nothing."

Siri Not Setting Alarms

Re: Accessing zoom breakout rooms with voiceover on an iPhone

I've attended two meetings where break out rooms wer eused. Perhaps it has something to do with how the host handles the set up, in one meeting I did indeed need to do nothing. In the other Voice over read out that I had been assigned to break out room one and had to tap the button to join

Think that is more less what I'll do Sieghart. I would rather look after it now but trying to do this via email will be too time consuming so I'll wait and hope the phone centre opens soon. Re the actual app, my player tab went away for weeks but then returned so you may be right, a reinstall
