Sometimes, a family member or friend will contact me asking for technical help with their iPhone. Often, I can solve the problem or address the question by talking them through the necessary steps. Other times, though, I'm hard-pressed to fix the issue without actually seeing or working with the phone.
A new screen sharing and remote control capability available through FaceTime can surmount that challenge. You can draw on the phone to show the other person where to go and what to do. If that doesn't work, you're able to assume full control of the other phone to navigate the screen, launch apps, and access settings just as if it were in your own hands

How to transcribe audio to text for free in Notes
In the updated Notes app in iOS 18, you can transcribe audio to text for free: Your iPhone will automatically transcribe voice notes for later.
This is a great feature to use in a college class, if you want to record audio of a lecture alongside your notes. You can use it in meetings — the irritating in-person kind — for recording what people actually said alongside your notes. It’s also great for generating podcast transcripts or any kind of writing. It’s a quick and easy way to get a first draft.
