Do you know if the second method works for blocking spam texts from email addresses? I get these fairly often and they show up as messages, even though they are from an email address. Wayne On 10/27/21, Bill Gallik wrote: > Hi All, > > That is certainly one of several ways to block text

Re: App that pays you for walking

For what it's worth, even though the Stepler app is not available in the US or Canadian App Stores, one can search for the phrase "get paid for walking" in the App Store and get several results. One that I pulled up which looks to be similar is called Cash for Steps. Regards, Wayne Merr

IMO, Tap to Wake under Accessibility/Touch, is also a big battery waster. If left on, each time you touch the phone or if it rubs against your pocket, it will wake up. Some like it on, so to each their own. I believe Tap to Wake is specific to the iPhone 10 series and later. Wayne On 10/7/21,
