How to prevent your iPhone from ringing at a bad time

Have you ever fallen asleep only to be awakened in the middle of the night by a phone call from someone who had no idea how late it was (or who simply didn’t care)?

Or perhaps you’ve signed up for a class and you’d rather not disturb everyone in the room with an endless barrage of notification sounds?

If you have an iPhone you can easily avoid situations like that by enabling a special mode called “Do Not Disturb” Here’s how:

1 – Swipe down from the top-right corner of the screen.

2 – Tap the Focus icon (it looks like a crescent moon).

3 – Tap Do Not Disturb.

To disable “Do Not Disturb”, simply toggle the setting back to Off.

That’s all there is to it. Now you know how to enable and disable your iPhone’s “Do Not Disturb” feature.

Question from Kellie:  I dropped my three year old iPhone 7 Plus and cracked the screen.

The phone still works but parts of the screen are unreadable.

I’ve never really been happy with this phone so I’m just going to replace it with an Android phone when I get paid next week.

My question is how can I copy the photos I’ve taken with the iPhone onto a Lenovo laptop that has Windows 10 on it?

Posted on December 26, 2020

Question from Barry:  I need to do some maintenance on my leaf blower so I downloaded the owner’s manual to my phone.

The file downloaded just fine but when I try to open it I get an error message saying there’s no app for opening PDF files on my device.

What am I doing wrong? I really need to open this file so I can work on my leaf blower.

Q&A: Is there a way to boost the weak cellular signal in my home?

Posted on November 14, 2020

Question from Deneen L.:  My husband and I recently moved into a new home that’s located in a very hilly area.

We both have iPhones but the Sprint/TMobile signal inside the house is very weak.

We sprung for Xfinity Internet when we moved in, but we’d rather not have to install a landline phone if we can help it.

Is there any way we can boost the weak cellular signal to a usable level?
