1

Open Settings

Start off by launching

your iPhone’s Settings app

and then tap on the ‘Display

& Brightness’ setting from the

long list of options.

2

Pick option

You will see options

relating to all aspects of your

iPhone’s display. Tap on the

‘Auto-Lock’ option halfway

down the page.

Is it possible to change the

start date of the week in

my iOS Calendar app as it

would make it easier to track my

working hours? Michelle Green

Most certainly. On your iOS device, go

to Settings>Calendar and scroll down

to see the ‘Start Week On’ option.

Tap on this and you will be able to

select any day to start your week on.

Simply select one and then close the

Settings app to save the setting. You

can also add other calendars by going

to Settings>Passwords and Accounts

and tapping on the ‘Add Account’

option before filling in the details.

How do I activate my Mac’s

built-in ‘Summarise’ feature

to speed-read documents

and web pages? Anthony Rowan

Go to System Preferences>Keyboard>

Shortcuts and click on ‘Services’ in

the left menu and then choose ‘Text’

in the right window. Now tick the

box next to ‘Summarise’ to make

this option appear in the Services

section of an application’s main

menu. You can activate Summarise

by highlighting a chunk of text, right/

Ctrl+ clicking and then going to

Services>Summarise.

Open Settings

To set this up, go to

Settings>Personal

Hotspot and make sure

that the ‘Allow Others

to Join’ option is turned

on. This will allow other

devices to connect to

the internet using your

mobile data.

Wi-Fi password

Any devices signed into

your iCloud account will

be able to connect to your

It’s very simple.
