Question from Lilly N.:  Hello, Rick. I just have a very quick question.

Do I need to install an antivirus app on my iPhone?

One friend says I do and another friend (who I tend to trust more lol) says I don’t.

I’d really like to know for sure so I can make sure my phone is protected. I just don’t want to install another app if I don’t need it.

But if I do need to install one, which one would you recommend?

Thanks for your help.

Question from Susan:  I was waiting to get on the subway the other day when the guy standing beside me pulled out his iPhone and asked Siri a question.

I was shocked when Siri answered him because she used a British accent. I thought that was SO cool.

Can I change my own iPhone to speak with a British accent?

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?

Q&A: How do I open a PDF document on my phone?

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.
