| Twitter is rolling out unmentioning to all users Posted: 11 Jul 2022 11:26 AM PDT  Twitter is widely rolling out its "unmentioning" feature to all users, which allows you to remove yourself from a conversation that includes your Twitter handle. The platform first introduced the feature to a small group of users in April, but now it's available to everyone. You might want to use this feature yourself if you're stuck in a toxic conversation or simply don't want to receive notifications for a thread you're a part of. Unmentioning untags your username, stops notifications for the thread, and also prevents anyone in the thread from tagging you again.

| How to install the iOS 16 and iPad 16 public betas Posted: 11 Jul 2022 10:50 AM PDT  The first public betas for iOS 16 and iPadOS 16 are rolling out now, and if you can't wait until the official release to get your hands on those sweet lockscreen customization options, you can download them today — at your own risk, naturally. Here's how to install the beta software on your iPhone or iPad once it's available for your device. Before we get started, a word of warning: beta software is inherently unfinished and may contain bugs. Although Apple's public betas are generally pretty stable, you should think carefully before installing them on any device you depend on. They may not include all the features that will be in the final release. Your experience may differ from others, depending on the apps you use. And finally, if... |
| How to install the macOS Ventura public beta Posted: 11 Jul 2022 10:48 AM PDT  Apple is launching the public beta for macOS Ventura today. This is the next big update coming to Mac computers (the final version is expected later in 2022), and it brings several big changes. In this article, we're going to walk you through how to get the beta onto your computer, should you want it. Once you install the beta, it will likely receive several updates between now and the final release. (Looking for steps to install the iOS 16 and iPadOS 16 public betas? We've got you covered here.) What's new about macOS Ventura?Ventura's standout feature is the Stage Manager, which is a way to organize your windows by grouping them and switching between sets of apps. Stage Manager should also do some automatic organization when you... |
| How to install the tvOS 16 public beta on Apple TV Posted: 11 Jul 2022 10:45 AM PDT  The Apple TV, Apple's excellent streaming box slash HomeKit smart home hub, has a few updates coming with tvOS 16. The update is due to launch this fall, but if you want to get a jump-start on the new features you can download the public beta today. What are the new features on tvOS 16?As my colleague Chris Welch noted following its announcement in June at Apple's WWDC conference, the tvOS16 updates are relatively minor. Although that's not to say some people won't find them useful. Better cross-device connectivity between your iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch could be a boon to Apple Fitness users, among others, and more game controller support — including Nintendo Joy-Cons — will make for some fun family game nights in my household.... |
| iPadOS 16 preview: jack of all trades, master of some Posted: 11 Jul 2022 10:15 AM PDT  The iPad can do everything — too much sometimes |
| How to install the watchOS 9 public beta Posted: 11 Jul 2022 10:11 AM PDT  After previewing its software roadmap at WWDC, Apple has released the public betas for iOS 16, iPad OS 16, macOS Ventura, and watchOS 9. If you've got a compatible Apple Watch and want to get a firsthand look at watchOS 9, here's what to expect and how to get started. (Though you may have to wait for the release to fully roll out first.) WatchOS 9 introduces a slew of new health and fitness features, as well as new ways to personalize the watch to your tastes. Some of the marquee features include advanced running metrics, new workout views, triathlete support, and medication reminders. That said, this isn't the final version of watchOS 9. That will come later this fall when Apple releases the Series 8 (and possibly a new SE and a new... |

| Hear me out: the new iOS 16 lock screens rule Posted: 11 Jul 2022 10:10 AM PDT  There's a tendency among the highly tech-literate (you know, us nerds) to approach new features with a jaded, seen-it-all-before sentiment. That's especially true when Apple announces new iPhone features with lots of fanfare and self-congratulation. The Android faithful will then point out that this groundbreaking achievement existed on a Nexus phone seven years ago, and the first three versions of it sucked, but it's great now. That attitude could certainly be applied to one of the centerpieces of iOS 16: new lock screens. On a high level, this update adds more customizability to the lock screen, with more wallpaper options and the ability to add widgets. Not groundbreaking stuff, considering that Android 12 lets you easily customize... |
| TikTok offers free training to court small businesses Posted: 11 Jul 2022 10:06 AM PDT  TikTok is rolling out a new program aimed at bringing more small and medium-sized businesses to the platform. The six-week program, called "Follow Me," includes step-by-step guides teaching businesses how to use TikTok to grow their companies — including how to advertise on the app. The courses are free to enroll in and will include lessons on running campaigns on TikTok and tips from businesses using the platform. Virtually unknown businesses or products going viral is one of the hallmarks of TikTok, where a visit to a restaurant and a video of a kitchen sponge have the same chance of being seen by millions. Many small business owners have turned to TikTok to promote their companies, and individual customers have in turn built enormous... |
