I have heard that it’s

possible to re-arrange

the icons in my Mac’s

menu bar – how?

This is very simple to

do. While in Finder, hold

down the Cmd key and

then click and hold on an

icon in your Mac’s menu

bar. You will then be able

to drag the icon left or

right to reposition it. You

can only arrange the

icons in the right half of

the menu bar otherwise

they will interfere with the

menus on the left.

How do I utilise

‘split view’ to get

two apps sharing the

screen on my iPad?

I have heard that it’s possible to make my HomePod

recognise my voice – how is this done? Jeremy Silk

1

Open Home app

The ability to have HomePod

recognise your voice was

introduced with iOS 13.2, so

update your iPhone via Settings>

General>Software Update and

then launch the Home app.

2

Update your Pod

In the ‘Home’ tab, tap

on the Home icon and select

your name under ‘People’. Tap

‘Software Update’ and ensure

that you have the latest version.

Tap the Home icon>your name.

3

Turn it on

At the top of the profile page

you will see an option called

‘Recognise My Voice’. Move the

slider to turn the feature on and

then go through the quick and

easy setup process.

Drag content

between apps

In split view you can drag

content from app to app.

For example, pick an

image from Photos and

then drag it across into

your Mail app.

Launch app

Open your first app and

then tap the bottom of the

screen to bring up your

Dock. Now press and hold

on an app icon and then

drag it upwards to the side

of the screen and release.
