Saving Voicemail!

Seems like Apple heard our pleas. The newest updates now allow you to save your Voicemail and even send them to others via text message or email them. 

So how do you access this new feature? 

Go into Voicemail on your device. 

Tap the Voicemail you want to save and you will see a box with an upward arrow:

Once you tap the arrow it will show you the ways you can send or save your Voicemail:

If you want to save it to send to the computer or just have an audio file you can click the voice memos and it will save to the voice memo app.

Them connect your device to the computer and transfer to iTunes. From there you can edit file type or pull it out of iTunes and do as  you wish.

This is a great day way to save messages for court or even messages from a loved one that is no longer with us.

Silly things to get Siri to say

I have seen many posts on this. Here are a few: 

Remove contacts from frequents

Do you ever start typing in a name and 

another pops up? One that you have deleted and wish your phone would stop brining them up? Well here's how to get them to stop popping up!

Type in the start of the name so the name you want appears in the frequent contact list (in text messaging) 

Tap the I with a circle around it. 

Then tap remove from recents. 

Now that person is gone. You can also select block this caller if you want.
