Now, under that section, there is App Network Activity. These are apps that have contacted domains in the last week. See the image below:

Next is Website Network Activity. These are websites that you have visited in the last week, including your most contacted domains. See the following image:

How to Jump to the Top or Bottom of Pages on iPhone

This post discusses a useful iPhone gesture that allows users to quickly scroll to the top of any app or page by tapping the Clock or Battery Indicator. It also explains how to use the Scrollbar to reach the bottom of web pages. The tips can enhance navigation across various applications.

RAYMOND OGLESBY @RaymondOglesby2
June 24, 2025– 4 minutes read time

Overview

Did you know that a simple iPhone gesture can save you seconds or millions of tedious scrolling back to the top of most apps? Across all apps, pages, and platforms, this simple tip will automatically return you to the top of any screen. Whether you want to know how to scroll to the top of Messages or Photos on iPhone, Instagram, or Facebook, or you have been searching in the Settings app, we will show you this simple feature.

One of my guiltiest pastimes is spending way too much time scrolling through Wikipedia pages on the Safari app. Some of the articles, while extremely informative, are excessively long. This simple trick will shoot you right back to the top of that Wikipedia article or any app.

Although not as fast, you can “scroll to the bottom” of web pages and certain documents through the Scrollbar. Let’s explore how to scroll up to the top or down to the bottom.

Why You Will Like This Tip

Don’t waste time scrolling all the way back up to the top or down to the bottom.
You can use this “scroll to the top” tip on any app, platform, or page.
You can access the bottom of a page using the Scrollbar.

System Requirements

This tip was performed on an iPhone 14 Pro running iOS 18.5.

Click here to learn how to update your iPhone to the latest iOS version.

Quickly Scroll Back to the Top

First, open any app, and simply tap either the Clock, the Battery Indicator, or even the Dynamic Island itself at the top of your screen. Refer to the image below:

Scroll 1 — Opening the Settings app, scroll to the bottom and tapping the Dynamic Island area

It should return you back to the top immediately. Be sure when you are doing this, you are tapping at the level of the Clock or Battery Indicator. If you tap just below, nothing will happen. See the image below:

Scroll 2 — You are taken to the top of the Settings app

Quickly Scroll to the Bottom

First, swipe once to reveal the Scrollbar on the right side of a page; then, tap and hold on the gray pill on the edge.

Next, when you feel a haptic (feedback) tap on your iPhone. That’s your signal you have now picked up the Scrollbar.

Now, while holding your finger on the Scrollbar swipe downwards to quickly scroll to the bottom of the page. Once you’ve reached the bottom, release your finger from the screen. See the following image:

It’s that simple! This “scroll to the top” tip works in nearly any app with screens you can scroll down on, whether you have scrolled through endless emails, a playlist in music, etc. The use of the Scrollbar allows you to quickly go to the bottom of a page. So, now you know how to jump to the top or bottom on an iPhone.

Quick Tips for Voicemail Recovery on iPhone

This post guides iPhone users on recovering deleted voicemails and managing storage. It details steps to undelete voicemails, clear all deleted messages, or select specific ones for deletion. The content highlights system requirements, emphasizes storing voicemails, and serves as a tech resource.

RAYMOND OGLESBY @RaymondOglesby2
June 10, 2025 – 4 minutes read time

Overview

We have all accidentally deleted an important voicemail or deleted a voicemail only to realize we need it back. Fortunately, we can show you how to recover deleted voicemail on your iPhone. Let’s explore how this is accomplished.

Why You Will Like This Tip

Save voicemails you accidentally moved to the trash.
Retrieve deleted voicemail on iPhone in just a few easy steps.
Free up storage space by removing deleted voicemails.

System Requirements

This tip was performed on an iPhone 14 Pro running iOS 18.5.

Click here to learn how to update your iPhone to the latest iOS version.

Storage Limits for Voicemails

You cannot directly set a limit to the number of active voicemails on an iPhone, as this is a function of your carrier’s service and storage capacity. You cannot dictate how many voicemails can be stored before they are considered “full”. Instead, you can manage the voicemail system by deleting old messages or by choosing a voicemail service that offers more storage.

Retrieve a Deleted Voicemail

First, open the Phone app. Refer to the image below:

Next, tap Voicemail. See the image below:

Voicemail 2 — Selecting the Voicemail icon

Now, scroll to the very bottom of your voicemails and tap Deleted Messages. See the following image:

Voicemail 3 — Selecting the Deleted Messages option

Next, tap the voicemail you want to undelete. (Make sure to tap in the middle of the voicemail, not the info icon to the side). Refer to the image below:

Voicemail 4 — Selecting a Voicemail to undelete

Now, tap the Undelete icon (red trashcan with a slash through it). The message will automatically be moved back into your main voicemail box. See the image below:

Voicemail 5 — Selecting the Undelete icon to retrieve the Voicemail

Remove Deleted Voicemails

If you have a lot of deleted voicemails (like us, we have 800), you have a couple of options.

Remove All Deleted Voicemails

First, in the Deleted Messages section, tap Clear All to permanently remove all deleted voicemails from your iPhone.

Next, you may be prompted to confirm the deletion. If so, tap Clear All again to proceed.

See the following image:

Voicemail 6 — Selecting the Clear All option to remove all deleted Voicemails

Remove Multiple Deleted Voicemails

If you just have certain voicemails you want to remove, just tap the Edit button at the top of the screen. Refer to the image below:

Next, tap the buttons to the left of the voicemails to select the ones you wish to remove. You can then tap Delete at the bottom of the screen. See the image below:

How to Add Another Face ID on iPhone

The article explains how to set up an Alternate Appearance for Face ID on iPhones, allowing other users to unlock the device in emergencies. This is useful for shared phones. Instructions are provided for adding a second face, including using it while wearing a mask. Full access is granted to added faces.

RAYMOND OGLESBY @RaymondOglesby2
May 20, 2025– 5 minutes read time

Overview

Face ID has been the default security feature for Apple’s smartphones since its debut. However, if you would like to share your iPhone with a partner, friend, or child, unlocking might be a little difficult. Fortunately, just like Touch ID allows you to save multiple fingerprints, there is a way to enable another person’s face to unlock your iPhone. Let’s explore how to add another Face ID.

Why You Will Like This Tip

Set up an Alternate Appearance for Face ID to allow other family members or friends to unlock your device in case of emergency.
If someone is sharing an iPhone, adding two appearances to Face ID ensures both users can get into the phone.

System Requirements

This tip was performed on an iPhone 14 Pro running iOS 18.4.1.

Click here to learn how to update your iPhone to the latest iOS version.

Add Another Face ID

Before we begin, it’s essential to note that the Alternate Appearance option is designed to enable the use of Face ID and Apple Pay while wearing glasses, sunglasses, facemasks, hats, and other similar accessories.

Please be aware that if you set up this feature to add the face of a partner, friend, or child so that they can unlock your phone, they will have full access to your device.

Now, here’s how to add a second Face ID by adding an alternate appearance.

First, open the Settings app, and select Face ID & Passcode option. You will be prompted to enter your passcode to continue. Refer to the image below:

Face ID 1 — Selecting the Face ID & Passcode option

Next, tap Set Up an Alternate Appearance option. See the image below:

Face ID 2 — Selecting the Setup Up an Alternate Appearance option

Now, tap Get Started and follow the on-screen prompts to add a second face to Face ID. See the following image:

Face ID 3 — Selecting Get Started, then Done when finished

Next, if you do not see the Set Up an Alternate Appearance button, you may already have an alternate appearance saved. The only way to remove an alternate appearance and add a new one is to tap Reset Face ID. When resetting Face ID, you will need to set up your own face again before setting up the alternate appearance. Refer to the image below:

Face ID 4 — Selecting the Reset Face ID option

That’s how to add another face to Face ID. Once you have set up an Alternate Appearance for Face ID, they should have no problem using Face ID to unlock your device. This can be incredibly useful in the event of an emergency in which you are unable to unlock your phone yourself.

Be aware that if you have locked any apps with Face ID, any other faces you have saved as alternate appearances will also be able to unlock them. Alternate faces will also be able to make purchases with Face ID.

Add Face ID When Wearing a Mask

Additionally, you can setup an Alternate Appearance when wearing a mask. First, head to:

Settings > Face IO & Passcode

You will be prompted to enter your passcode to continue. See the image below:

Next, scroll down and tap Setup Face ID with a Mask for Alternate Appearance. See the following image:
