DECEMBER 2021 MACWORLD 33It’s all very
frictionless. Just
ask Siri to share
something, and
Siri will prepare
the item in a flash
and ask, “Ready
to send it?” Say
yes, and you’re
done. No finding
and opening
share menus, no
copy and paste,
no flipping back
and forth to the
Messages app.
- CHOOSE TEXT SIZE FOR
EACH APP
You’ve been able to change the
systemwide text size for ages, but iOS 15
adds the ability to change the text size on
a per-app basis.
First enable the feature in Control
Center. Open Settings, then tap Control
Center and scroll down to add the Text
Size control.
Then when you’re in an app, open
Control Center (swipe down from the
top-right corner) and select the Text Size
control. A big slider lets you change text
size, while a toggle at the bottom of the
screen lets you choose between All Apps
or just the app you’re currently using.
6. SET RECOVERY AND
LEGACY CONTACTS
Your Apple ID and iCloud account get
more important every year. It’s full of
purchases, services, cloud data, photos...if
you lost access, a lot of that stuff would be
gone forever.
Apple has two welcome new features in
iOS 15. Account Recovery Contacts are
people you trust that Apple can contact to
help you reset your passcode if you ever
lose it. They can’t actually access your data.
However, if you initiate a password reset but
find that you are locked out of your own
devices, Apple can send the reset code to
that contact.
To enable it, open Settings, then tap on
your Apple ID at the top. Choose
Password & Security, then Account
