iPhone Essentials Updated for iOS 11

By Ruth Davis

The newest iOS 11 brings design changes, new apps, and major improvements to iCloud and iCloud Drive.

As you adjust to the changes in appearance, the different screens, the new ways to do things, remember that it might make you cranky, but it’s great for your brain to be learning new things and creating new neural pathways.

Practice a little every day and you’ll be a happy user in no time!! And be sure to keep up with the Software Updates as Apple releases them, to fix bugs, improve security and keep things working smoothly.

Settings The first thing I do with a new OS is look through the Settings to see what new things I may have control over.

iCloud All of your iCloud settings and choices are in one place. Tap your name to see your choices and settings, including managing your iCloud storage. (see below for more about iCloud). Mail accounts and password settings are now under Accounts and Passwords.

Emergency SOS is a new option for auto-calling emergency services. With Auto Call turned on, you can quickly click the Sleep/Wake button five times to call emergency services

Privacy Choose which apps have permission to use Location Services, the microphone, speech recognition, camera, etc. If you want to use the Maps app and other apps that base the information on your location, you do need to turn Location Services on. Be sure to go through and choose which apps you want to know where you are.


Control Center Control Center gives you access to the most commonly used settings. To access the Control Center, swipe up from the bottom of the Home screen

• Airplane Mode – turns off the cellular and communications radios • Cellular • Wi-Fi toggles connect/disconnect from a wireless network -see below for

turning wifi off • Bluetooth toggles connect/disconnect from a Bluetooth network -see

below for turning bluetooth off • Screen Orientation Lock • Do Not Disturb toggle • Screen Mirroring to play on Apple TV • Brightness setting slides up and down • Volume setting slides up and down • Flashlight • Stop watch • Timer • Calculator • Alarm • Apple Music control


To Customize What Appears in Control Center 1. Tap Settings 2. Tap Control Center 3. Tap Customize Controls 4. Choose what you want to appear in Control Center

If you use Notes or Voice Memos, or some other app often, consider adding it to the Control Center for faster access.

IMPORTANT NOTE!!! In iOS 11, switching Wifi and Bluetooth off in the Control Center disconnects you from the network you’re on for a day, and then turns it back on the following day. It DOES NOT turn it off. To truly turn it off, you have to go into Settings and choose Wifi and Bluetooth, and turn them off.


Do Not Disturb You can set your iPhone to silence calls, alerts and notifications during certain hours. You can also schedule quiet hours, allow only certain people’s calls to ring through, and customize the settings in the new Do Not Disturb While Driving setting.

1. Tap Settings 2. Tap Do Not Disturb 3. Tap Scheduled to set specific times 4. Tap Allow Calls From to receive calls from only certain people 5. Turn on Repeated Calls to allow a second call from the same person to come

through 6. Scroll to the bottom to see your Do Not Disturb While Driving choices,

including options to send an auto-reply to anyone who calls or texts you while you are driving

NOTE: If you are suddenly not receiving ANY calls, check to be sure you haven’t accidentally turned on the Do Not Disturb (the crescent moon) in Settings or in the Control Panel. Also check the left side switch that turns sound on and off, as well as the volume buttons, to make sure the iPhone isn’t muted.


OTHER USEFUL SETTINGS Make Things More Readable You have a lot of control over the size of text

1. Tap Settings 2. Tap Display and Brightness 3. Turn on Bold Text 4. Tap Text Type 5. Drag the slider to adjust the size 6. Your device will restart to have the choice take effect

You can also change the View to be Zoomed, which will make icons and words bigger and easier to read on all screens.

Don’t Type Periods Instead of actually typing a period at the end of a sentence, double-tap the space bar and it will put in a period and a space so you can just start typing the next sentence.If this feature doesn’t work:

1.Tap Settings 2.Tap General 3.Tap Keyboard 4.Turn the “.” Shortcut ON

Caps Lock While there is no Caps Lock key on the iPhone keyboard, you can create one.

1. Tap Settings 2. Tap General 3. Tap Keyboard 4. Make your choices for keyboard options, including Enable Caps Lock. To use the Caps Lock, double tap the Shift key and it will turn black, indicating that the Caps Lock is on.

Controlling Sounds You can control what sounds play when different things happen. You can turn off all sounds, or just some. Maybe you don’t like the sound when you unlock your device or type on the keyboard. Maybe you prefer not to hear a bing every time you receive or send an email, or when someone sends you a text or leaves a voicemail. It’s easy to choose which sounds and alerts you want to hear.

1. Tap Settings 2. Tap Sounds 3. Scroll through the list, choosing which you want on and which you want off

This is also where you can choose a different ringtone and make the Vibrate feature silent.


Change Your Wallpaper As fun as it is to have a favorite photo on your iPhone Lock Screen, it’s quite refreshing to change the images every once in a while.

1. Tap Settings 2. Tap Wallpapers 3. Tap Choose a New Wallpaper 4. Know whether you are changing the Lock Screen of the Home Screen

(you might want to choose a less busy image for the home screen so you can still read the screen)

5. Navigate to find the photo that you want to use 6. If you choose one of Apple’s wallpapers, know that Dynamic will use more

battery power than Still 7. Choose the photo 8. Choose which screen to apply it to 9. Enjoy!


Change Your iPhone Signature By default, every email you send says “Sent from my iPhone or iPad.” You can remove this and even add your own signature. You can even have a different signature for each of your email accounts.

1. From the Home screen, tap on Settings 2. Scroll down and tap Mail 3. Scroll all the way down and tap Signature 4. Choose All Accounts if you want to use the same signature for all of your

email accounts 5. Click Per Account if you have more than one email address and want to

create unique signatures for each one 6. Tap in the white space below the account name and type the text you want

to appear at the bottom of every email from that account 7. There is no need to Save it, just tap back to Mail and you’ll see that, next to

Signature, it now shows either the text you typed or the number of how many email accounts you have


ALL ABOUT STORAGE To Manage iPhone Storage You cannot add more storage space to your iPhone, but you can do things to make more room, including using iCloud Drive to store more of your stuff.

1. Tap Settings 2. Tap General 3. Tap iPhone Storage 4. Across the top, you’ll see a color graph showing your iPhone’s total storage

capacity, and how it is being used 5. You’ll also see the Recommended Options to Enable iCloud Photo Library

and also Offload Unused Apps 6. Tap Show All to see a list of videos, and apps, and how much each one is

using 7. If there are apps you don’t use anymore, tap and Delete 8. If you use the app sometimes, but really need the space on your phone right

now, choose Offload App to keep the data you’ve created with the app, and only remove the actual app from your iPhone


More Tips for Reclaiming Storage Space on Your iPhone • Delete text messages, especially those with videos, photos, stickers • Delete photos stored on your iPhone’s camera roll after confirming that they

are backed up someplace else • Delete the photos in the Recently Deleted Album

Using iCloud Drive Some of the biggest changes with iOS 11 are with iCloud Drive. Now, in addition to storing your iCloud Photo Library on iCloud so that you can access your photos on all of your Apple products, iCloud Drive now makes it easy to store everything that’s in your Mac’s Documents folder, and whatever is on your Mac Desktop, so that you can work on them wherever you have wifi access.

To access what's on iCloud Drive, there’s a new icon of a folder on the Home Screen. This is the new app called Files (formerly called iCloud Drive.)

Tap Files and you’ll see the Browse screen with a list of Locations, including iCloud Drive. Your Dropbox Files are also accessible here.

Tap iCloud Drive and you’ll see folders for Pages, Keynote, Numbers, and any other apps that you’ve set to save to iCloud Drive.

You’ll also see folders for your Mac’s Desktop and your Mac’s Documents folders listed, as well as any other files or documents you’ve saved to iCloud Drive.

Tap on any of these folders to work with your files on your iPhone.


To turn iCloud Drive On/Off: 1. Tap Settings 2. Tap your name at the top of the list 3. Tap iCloud 4. Scroll down to iCloud Drive 5. Make your choice to turn it on/off

You'll need to do the same thing on your Mac: 1. From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences 2. Click on the iCloud icon 3. Choose which apps you want to save to your iCloud Drive

Very Important Note: Once you turn iCloud Drive ON, your files are on the Cloud, and images of them also appear on your desktop for easy access.

If you decide to turn iCloud Drive OFF, all of the files on your Desktop and in your Documents folder will be deleted from your computer and devices too, so be sure to drag and drop to copy them from iCloud Drive onto your computer before you make any changes!

To Manage iCloud Drive Storage 1. Tap Settings 2. Tap your name at the top 3. Tap iCloud 4. At the top you’ll see how much iCloud

storage space you have and how much is being used. You’ll also see a list of Apps that are using iCloud to sync between all of your Apple devices.


To See What’s Using Your iCloud Storage Tap Manage Storage to see a list of how much DATA and DOCUMENTS you are storing on iCloud that were created with specific apps

NOTE: This is not a list of your actual apps. This is the information you’ve created using the app. Be very cautious about deleting anything here.

To Get More iCloud Drive Storage 1. Tap Settings 2. Tap your name at the top 3. Tap iCloud 4. Tap Manage Storage 5. Tap Change Storage Plan 6. Make your choice


ALL ABOUT PHOTOS iCloud Photo Library You can now store your entire photo library on iCloud using the new iCloud Photo Library. Depending on how many pictures you have, you may need to buy more iCloud storage space. Photos in iCloud Photo Library are available to all devices that have iCloud Photo Library turned on, and as long as you have internet connection. Albums created on any device are available on all devices.

To set your Photos to use the iCloud Photo Library, so that all photos are accessible from all of your devices,

1. Tap Settings 2. Tap your name at the top for iCloud Settings 3. Tap iCloud 4. Scroll down to Photos and tap 5. Here is where you can choose to turn iCloud Photo Library on.

Note: It may take a long while for all of your photos to transfer up to iCloud.


Be sure this setting is turned on in Photos on your Mac as well. 1. On your Mac, open Photos 2. Under the Photos menu choose Preferences 3. Click the iCloud icon 4. Turn on iCloud Photo Library 5. Choose to Download Originals to Mac if your computer has enough storage

Again, it may take a while for all of your photos to appear.

NOTE: You may need to purchase more storage space on your iCloud Drive to accommodate all of your photos and files.

OR Photo Stream 1.If you choose NOT to use iCloud Photo Library, you can use Photo Stream

to automatically share photos with your Mac. 2.When your iPhone is connected to a wifi network, all photos on the

Camera Roll are uploaded/copied to Photo Stream on iCloud. 3.When you open the Photos app on your Mac, those photos are downloaded

into Photos on your Mac for permanent access.

To set your Photos to use the iCloud Photo Stream to send your Photos to your Mac instead of storing everything in iCloud Photo Library

1. Tap Settings 2. Tap iCloud 3. Scroll down to Photos and tap My Photo Stream 4. Now, in Photos, when you Tap Albums, you’ll see an album called Camera

Roll that has all of the photos you’ve taken with your iPhone Be sure this setting is turned on in Photos on your Mac as well. 1. On your Mac, open Photos 6. Under the Photos menu choose Preferences 7. Click the iCloud icon 8. Turn on iCloud Photo Stream


Very Important Note: If you have an iPhone 7 or newer, photos are now saved in a new HEVC/ HEIF format that takes up much less space. BUT you won’t be able to share the pics with your Mac or PC, because the format is no longer the universal .jpg

To change the setting so that you can still see the photos on your Mac and share with others: 1. Tap Settings 2. Tap Camera 3. Choose Formats 4. Select Most Compatible to save pics in jpg format

As the new format becomes more mainstream, you can then switch back and take advantage of the new technology.

ALL PHOTOS ARE IN PHOTOS, based on the date and location taken. They are grouped by Years/Collections/Moments

Years Years allows you to quickly navigate to a specific year. Tap on a year to see the Collections of photos from that year.

Collections Collections are groups of photos taken at the same place across several days. Tap on a Collection to see the individual photos. These are called Moments.

Moments Moments groups photos taken on the same day/same place, and offers a summary of “the best” photos as a slide show, and with varied sizes. To see all photos in that Collection, tap Show More. Moments also includes a map of where the photos were taken, and who is in them.


Albums Photos has several set albums that automatically group photos for easier navigation: Camera Roll- all the pictures you’ve taken with the iPhone camera Favorite – photos you’ve marked to go into this album (see editing photos) People – uses face recognition to quickly find photos by who is in them Places – Give the camera permission to use Location Services to use the iPhone’s GPS to tag and group photos by location

Adding an Extension to a Contact’s Phone Number If you frequently dial a phone number that includes an extension, it’s easy to add that extension into the person’s contact information.

1. Tap Contacts 2. Find the person 3. Tap Edit 4. Tap the phone number you want to add the extension to 5. Tap the +*# key 6. A set of new options appears. Make sure the cursor is at the end of the

phone number 7. Tap PAUSE. This adds a comma 8. Type the extension number and tap Done

The next time you call that person, it will dial the phone number and pause, then dial the extension when prompted.


Reminder to Return a Phone Call Have you ever rejected a call from a person and then forgotten to call them back? When a call comes in from a person you want to call back, tap Remind Me. You'll be given the option to be reminded to return the call in an hour, when you leave your current location, when you get home, or when you get to work.

Ask Siri Sure, you can do everything from the screen, but so often, it’s easier to just ask Siri. You can ask her to make a phone call, add something to the calendar, send a text, write a note. And now, with iOS 11, Siri can also translate English into several languages, and learn your music preferences.

Keychain And Passwords iCloud Keychain keeps your Safari website usernames and passwords, credit card information (if you choose), and Wi-Fi network information up to date across all of your approved devices.

iCloud Keychain can also keep the accounts you use in Mail, Contacts, Calendar, and Messages up to date across all of your Mac computers. And when you sign in to Facebook, your bank, a member site or other internet accounts, iCloud automatically can save those usernames and passwords too, as you choose.

To turn iCloud Keychain on 1. Tap Settings 2. Tap your name at the top to access iCloud settings 3. Tap iCloud 4. Be sure Keychain is on 5. If not follow the prompts to turn it on

To actually SEE those passwords, you need to first turn on the Safari Password Setting

1. Tap Settings 2. Tap Safari 3. Tap AutoFill 4. Tap Names and Passwords 5. Confirm your Passcode

To See Your Passwords 1. Tap Settings 2. Tap Accounts and Passwords 3. Tap App & Website Passwords 4. Type your Passcode 5. Scroll through to find the site and tap to reveal the user name and password


Tips for Creating a Secure Password When choosing a new password, consider something more cryptic, even if it’s hard to remember. I suggest choosing a sentence or phrase, and taking the first letters of each word, combining capital and lowercase letters and also including some numbers. For example, the phrase: take me to the beach in Novembercould be the password tM2tB11 And every time you type it, you’ll think about taking yourself to the beach.

Security experts recommend having four different user names and passwords… one for low level usage, like when you have to give out an email address, one for your email accounts, one for high level things like banking and purchases, and one in the middle for everything else. I think having one for low level and one for high level is safe enough.

I strongly recommend that you write everything down in a notebook. And if you need it online, you can save it in a password-protected Pages document on your iCloud Drive.

If you’re looking for an online password solution, 1PASSWORD and Last Pass get high marks from many of my clients.

Backing Up If you lose or replace your iPhone, you’ll be so glad you had a backup, to easily restore all of your settings, apps and information. Your iPhone should automatically backup to iCloud whenever you are connected to wifi.

To confirm that your iPhone is being backed up: 1. Tap Settings 2. Tap your name at the top to see all of your iCloud settings 3. Tap iCloud 4. Scroll down and tap iCloud Backup 5. Confirm that iCloud Backup is turned on 6. At the bottom you’ll see when it was last backed up 7. If it’s longer than a few days ago, tap Backup Now

Keeping Up With Updates It is very important to stay current with software updates as Apple continues to improve and fix the iOS. Software Updates can be found in Settings under General. Be sure to check the App Store regularly to update your apps too, to keep everything working smoothly.


New Emojis iOS 11 includes 70 new emojis, including new foods, animals, and faces.
