Glossary

The place to come for key terms made easy

Screen Time

This is a relatively new feature on Mac and iOS designed to make users aware of how much time we are spending on our devices. Located in System Preferences or the iOS Settings app, Screen Time monitors how long you spend in apps and allows you to impose restrictions.

Shared With You

This is a new iOS 15/ macOS Monterey feature that makes it easy to find and view content that your contacts have shared with you through the Messages app within the apps that the content is designed for, such as Photos and News.

Voice Control

This is part of the Accessibility suite of settings in macOS and iOS that lets you control your device using your voice. Once set up, you can use it to perform gestures and actions within certain apps without having to physically touch the device.

macOS Maps

I have discovered that it is possible to blur out my home in the Maps app, can you explain how this is done?

1 Go home

Launch the macOS Maps app and then navigate to your house, which is typically done by clicking on the arrow icon in the toolbar to jump straight to your current location. Click ‘3D’ to view it in more detail.
