RE: Copying and Pasting in iOS

Thanks, Mary. I must have dreamed that you could do a single finger double tap and hold to bring up a floating sidebar menu that would allow you to copy selected text. If I've ever gotten such a thing to work, it's not working anymore so I'll stick to the rotor edit option. Alan From:

Hi Alan, If I understand you correctly, you will need to use the rotor, but it's not that far to go to the edit setting, where you can flick to find copy if it isn't already selected choice. Double tap and you're good to go. Sent from my iPhone > On Dec 21, 2016, at 8:25 PM, Alan Lemly

Richard; if you go into your recent calls list you'll find the number that is calling you. When you find it just double tap in that number and hit I think it's details or more information. Then at the bottom of the contact card you'll see that you have the option to block the call. I hope

Blocking unwanted calls on the iPhone

I know it is possible to block unwanted calls from a known number. That is, you get a call, you don't want to hear from that number anymore, and you tell The phone app to block anything more coming from there. But what I am looking for is something that would be a bit more proactive, that is,

Keith I don’t believe they have any active noise cancelling capability and I’d say that they block out as much noise as the earPods (i.e. very little) so you are always aware of what’s going on around you. In my experience they also leak as much noise as the normal earPods (i.e. not very
