      Building your own shortcuts is also very complicated, especially for those of us too old to have learned scripting, coding and the like in school. That’s unfortunate, because it seems as if Apple is going to make the most of Siri through shortcuts, rather than to just bake her new features into the OS.

Obviously, I'm not an expert user, but that's exactly what I love about iPhones, they are built for everyone. I am stunned that you have only 82k subscribers, there should be so much more of them checking your channel. Thank you again for the way you explain these things to us, average users.

      @@StormyDay If you follow the steps given in the video about guided access, you can stop the screen being touch sensitive. The image you want to trace won’t be affected by pressure so you can trace it with a pen or pencil. I’ve used it for art and also when redesigning my garden. I had a survey plan and I could quickly sketch out options for where I wanted to put new features. Obviously you can do that digitally but it’s quicker sometimes to do these things on old fashioned paper. Hope that helps!

    As someone who is medically blind I use the text facility in photo with voiceover turned on if my dedicated apps (Seeing AI, Supersense) have decided to spontaneously update so I can’t use them. So handy when I want to check street names, or labels on packages.
    Also that look up option looks like it will be useful if my travel apps (Soundscape, Moovit, Lazarillo) have decided to play up by spontaneously updating.
