Significant locations:

• Keeps track of specific locations you frequent that may help maps, calendar, photos, and more (and Apple can’t read it)
• Settings > Privacy > Location Services > System Services > Significant Locations
• At the bottom you can clear your significant locations
• At the top you can turn off significant locations

Speech Enhancement

• Lets your phone read text on your screen.
• General > Accessibility > Speech
• Select any text and press the “Speak Text” button OR…
• Turn on “Speak screen” if you want to swipe down with two fingers from the top of the screen to hear the content of the screen
• Click “Voices” to download a better quality voice (Alex is the best)

Pronouncitations

• You can tell Siri how to pronounce words (Say, “Hey Siri, Learn to pronounce ‘Sample Name’”)
• Or you can go into the speech settings above (General > Accessibility > Speech), scroll down to Pronunciations, and add phrases individually

Scott: Screen time

You have several options:

• Downtime
• App Limits
• Communication Limits
• Always Allowed
• Content and Priavcy Restrictions

It may be helpful to…

• Give your password to someone else
• Set time limits for apps or groups of apps
• Block or allow some app/sites all the time
• Use downtime (which sets a time you can’t use your device)
