I’m not using an M1 Mac, but will be upgrading to one shortly. However, I have been noticing with the last couple of updates that the whole workbook area has become really quirky. Where I used to simply be able to navigate the rows using the arrow keys and simply type in them, now I have to

Thanks, Maurice. There is a dictation button in the messages app. It used to work, even though the interface was a little clunky. Cheers, Donna > On Jan 28, 2023, at 3:12 PM, Maurice Mines wrote: > > You might try turning on voice control. Dictation does not happen > automatically, as far

You might try turning on voice control. Dictation does not happen automatically, as far as I know. But I think it would be better to turn on voice control. I think this is done on purpose to keep peoples machines from turning on dictation by mistake. Or having it start in the background.

Donna, Wow, you are lucky. I might have turned off Taptic time, because it always seemed to go off when I didn’t want it and never when I did. I have an Apple Watch SE, since did not feel the need for an always on display or a blood oxygen monitor. Just to make sure I understand your process

Hi Paul, I don’t have premature sleep termination, but I do hopefully have a tip re haptic time. I have a series 6. On my watch, I can tap the face once, wait about a half second, then tap twice for haptic time. This works reliably for me. HTH, Donna > On Jan 28, 2023, at 10:25 AM, Paul
