Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode #133 August 9, 2026 - Notes App
Q: Can you insert an item in the checklist between two existing items?
Yes. When you enable the checklist, you can insert new items between existing ones, and the app will treat the new entries as part of the same checklist.
Episode #124 October 12, 2025 Using Voiceover on iOS 26
Q: What should a user do if a reflected ringtone option doesn't show as selected after tapping reflection?
The presenter suggested verifying the current selection by actually testing the ringtone through a call or by checking the selection state in the ringtones settings; sometimes a bug can momentarily misreport the status.
Episode #124 October 12, 2025 Using Voiceover on iOS 26
Q: Do I need Apple Intelligence for hold screen features like caller screening or hold assist?
No, these features are part of iOS 26 and do not require Apple Intelligence; they work with the standard iOS 26 tooling.
Episode #124 October 12, 2025 Using Voiceover on iOS 26
Q: Are the new hold-to-call features and hold assist something that can be toggled per-call or globally in settings?
Hold assist and related call controls can be toggled within the phone settings for each call, but some behaviors carry over if the feature is left on by default; you may need to enable it in settings and then apply per-call as needed.
Episode #127 January 11, 2026 - The WhatsApp App
Q: Can you set up a third-party phone number (e.g., Google Voice) for WhatsApp verification or use without revealing your actual number?
The presenter notes that using a third-party number like Google Voice is a separate setup and would require its own dedicated presentation; generally, WhatsApp relies on your phone number and contact syncing.
