How to set up navigation in Maps on Apple Watch with watchOS 5

In watchOS 5, there are new options for the Maps application for Apple Watch, including the setting of cornering notifications when navigating.

Previously, they could only be turned on or off. You could not leave a notice, for example, only when driving, but turn them off when walking on foot. In watchOS 5, you can set up cornering notifications for each category.

How to set up navigation on Apple Watch

By default, cornering notifications are active when walking, driving and driving with CarPlay. If you have an Apple Watch with watchOS 5, you can set up notifications to your liking.

1) Open the Apple Watch application on your iPhone with iOS 12.

2) Click the tab with your clock and select the Maps application.

3) In the notifications section, select when they can be displayed: walking, driving and driving with CarPlay.

You can enable or disable the switch next to each of the items. If you use the navigator on your iPhone or iPad, you can disable everything. If you like, when notifications arrive immediately on all devices, the options can be left active.

To recognize the direction through Apple Watch is easy and convenient thanks to the vibration patterns.

• Turn left - intermittent vibration.
• Turning to the right is a prolonged vibration.

In the Clock settings, these options can not be changed yet, but it is possible that such an option will appear in the final version of the update.

How to enable dark mode in the Wikipedia application for iPhone

Many developers add a dark mode to their applications. The dark interface not only looks better but also helps to save charging on the iPhone with an OLED display. Earlier we already wrote about how to turn on dark mode in the applications Bear, YouTube, etc. Today we will tell how to turn on the dark mode in Wikipedia for iPhone and iPad.

How to enable dark mode in Wikipedia

1) Open the Wikipedia application on your iPhone or iPad.

2) Click the Ribbon tab at the bottom of the screen.

3) Click the gear icon in the upper right corner of the screen.

4) Select Reader Settings.

5)  Select a topic from the available.

The following topics are available in the Topics section :

• Default: Standard light theme.
• Sepia: Yellowish shade, as in old photographs.
• Dark : Dark interface.
• Black : Black interface.

The application also has an option that reduces the opacity of images in dark and black themes. Thus, reading articles is more pleasant.

For full comfort in Wikipedia, there is a convenient icon, with which help to change the themes even easier. Open an article and click on the " TT " button at the bottom of the screen to select a different theme, change the font size and increase or decrease the brightness.

If you often read articles in Wikipedia in the evening or at night, we recommend turning on dark or black mode to reduce the burden on the eyes.

What you need to know about the dark mode

Dark mode is a concept that is widely used in the industry to describe themes with dark and black elements, on which the content is very prominent.

Dark themes are popular among those who work with video and photography, designers, etc. Judging by Final Cut and other Apple program, the company thoroughly decided to switch to dark mode.

Professionals prefer to use dark mode, because it reduces the burden on the eyes, especially at night.

In macOS Mojave 10.14, Apple added a full dark mode not only for the main interface, but also for most standard programs: Photos, Notes, Mail, Messages, Calendar, etc. Moreover, the company provided an API for the dark mode so that developers could add it support in their programs.

In iOS, there is no full dark mode yet.

IOS 11 has a new Universal Access feature - Smart inversion, which simulates a dark mode, but its work leaves much to be desired. In iOS 12 function did not improve and did not add a dark mode.

Dark mode + OLED display

We have no doubt that someday dark mode will be added to iOS, as it will be very useful on models with OLED-display, like the iPhone X and the future lineup of 2018.

Most likely, this will happen with iOS 13 or iOS 14 in the next or 2020. By this time, all new models of the iPhone will certainly be with OLED-displays. Such displays do not require backlighting, which consumes a lot of energy, like on LCD displays.

On OLED panels, each pixel is highlighted individually. If the pixel is black, it does not consume energy. In this regard, OLED-displays very save battery power when the screen is black.

The App Store even has a list with third-party iOS applications that have a dark mode. It can be viewed through a web browser.

How to change the AutoCorrect settings in Word on a Mac

AutoCorrect is one of the functions that either adore or hate. It is in most messengers. It can be annoying by replacing the text you entered with something incomprehensible, and you notice it only after sending the message.

In Word, AutoCorrect is very useful. It can save you from errors, help you enter text faster and will automatically format the document while you type the text. Below, we'll show you how to set up AutoCorrect.

How to open AutoCorrect settings

1) Run Word on your Mac.

2) Select Word from the menu.

3) Select Options .

4) Click Spelling on the pop-up window.

AutoCorrect - the first tab in the window with the settings. With the checkmark near the very first line, you can turn the function on and off. You can also configure other options.

AutoCorrect Replicas

You can enable or disable the AutoCorrect button that is displayed in the document. Also, you can automatically correct two uppercase letters at the beginning of a word, put a large letter at the beginning of sentences, write the names of days with a capital letter and make the first letters of cells in the tables in capital letters.

Each of these options is very convenient, especially the correction of the two upper-case letters at the beginning of the word. For example, if you write "Hello", AutoCorrect will correct the words to "Hello".

Exceptions

Below is the Replace As section . You can click the Exceptions button to configure options and add your options. The section Capital Letter contains abbreviations, which should be written with a small letter. For example: "etc.", "etc.", "including" and others.

Two other sections you can customize yourself. For example, if the program writes an abbreviation, which you often use, with a capital letter, you can add it to the exceptions.

Substitutions

Returning to the main settings window, you will see a list of replacements at the very bottom. This is very convenient - there are listed characters and emoticons, which you often use. In addition, there are fixes like "kka" on "how", etc.

You can delete replacements and add new ones, as well as edit replacements.

AutoFormat when typing

On this tab you can enable or disable options.

Here are the substitutions that are used when typing. For example, if you have automatic numbering of lists, then if you enter the number "1" and press Enter , the next line will begin with the number "2".

You can also customize the formatting of quotes and everything else. Just check the box next to the options you want.

AutoCorrect can be very useful in some situations. With it, you can type the text in Microsoft Word as quickly as possible.

How to play YouTube video in the background on iPhone and iPad

Many iPhone and iPad users like to play YouTube videos in the background. For example, when listening to music, podcasts or talk shows. On YouTube, there are many songs with songs and a huge number of clips. In addition, sometimes you just want to listen to various videos, doing your own thing. It's not so easy to play video from YouTube on the background, because there is no such feature in iOS yet.

Below we will tell you about several ways to play YouTube video in the background on the iPhone and iPad. All methods work in iOS 12 and iOS 11.

How to play YouTube video on a background in iOS 12 or iOS 11

The first way, which we will describe, works successfully in the latest versions of iOS.

1. Open the Safari browser on your iPhone or iPad.
2. Open the YouTube video you want to listen to in the background.
3. Click the share icon in the form of an up arrow in the rectangle.

4. Select the "Full site version" option.

5. The page will be updated, and the full version of the YouTube site with your video will open.
6. Start the video and wait for the advertisement to end, if necessary.
7. Now click the icon that is responsible for the browser tabs.

8. Switch to another tab or create a new one and load any site.

9. Now go back to the home screen of your device with the button or the Home indicator.
10. Enjoy listening to YouTube videos on the background! You can do your own thing, and the video will continue to play. You can pause it at the Control Point.

This method works in both iOS 11 and iOS 12.

If something does not work out for you, repeat all the steps in the same order. It is very important to switch to the full version of the site before switching to another tab, otherwise, it will not work. Also, make sure the video opens in the browser, not the mobile YouTube app. If the full version of the site immediately opens the video in the player, you can minimize it with a gesture.

How to play YouTube video on a background on a locked iPhone or iPad

There is another way that allows you to play YouTube video in the background on a locked device. This method requires a mobile YouTube app.

1. Open the YouTube app and enable the video you want to listen to in the background.
2. Now quickly double-click the power button of your device. The video will continue to play on the background, and the device will be locked.

How to play YouTube video on a background through third-party browsers

Third option: you can play YouTube video in the background via third-party browsers. Many users prefer browsers like Opera, Dolphin or Firefox, and in some of them it's much easier.

It's not that easy to play YouTube video in the background, and many older methods have stopped working in modern versions of iOS. Fortunately, our methods work fine in iOS 12 and iOS 11.

Removing reminders on iPhone and iPad

Want to remove a reminder from your iPhone or iPad? Well, nothing complicated in this. Reminders are one of the most used standard iOS applications. In it, you can create to-do lists, shopping lists, keep important reminders, etc. Usually, after completing a case, users simply mark it as complete, but it does not remove the reminder from memory. You can view the complete list of completed reminders at any time stored on your device.

Below we describe how to completely delete reminders from the device, rather than just mark them as completed.

Delete a reminder with a gesture

The easiest and quickest way to remove a reminder from an iPhone or iPad is by using a gesture.

1) Open the Reminders application.

2) Select the list containing the reminder you want to delete.

3) Swipe left on the reminder you want to delete.

4) Click the red Delete button.

5) Repeat the process with all the reminders you need to delete.

In this way, you can delete some reminders, each time repeating the process again. This method is fairly simple and fast, and you immediately get used to it, but there are other options.

How to remove a reminder buttons

1) Open the Reminders application.

2) Select the list containing the reminder you want to delete.

3) Click the Edit button in the upper right corner of the screen.

4) Click the red minus sign (-) next to the reminder you want to delete.

5) Confirm your action by clicking the Delete button.

6) Repeat the process.

In edit mode, you can also delete reminders pretty quickly, but it's still longer and more uncomfortable than using a gesture.

How do I delete all reminders at once?

If you want to delete all reminders, it's easiest to delete the whole list. This will remove all reminders that were stored in it. You can also find a reminder through the search, and then delete it.

Both methods work the same way and remove reminders, regardless of how you added them - in the application itself, with the help of Siri or from another device through iCloud synchronization.
