Hi Julie,
Here is what I do to edit the name of afolder (I am using a folder called
Home Automation as my example:
1. I find the folder for which I want to edit the name, Home Automation in
my example, and now I flick up or down to Edit Mode and double tap (just
as if I wanted to move an app)
2. Voiceover will say "Started Editing", now I flick up to Activate and
double tap
3. You hear the folder opening sound and Voiceover will say "Folder Name,
Home Automation, text Field"
4. Double tap and Voiceover will say "Folder name, text field is
editing,Home Automation, insertion point at end"
5. You now have the keyboard on the screen, you can double tap in the text
field to move to the beginning, move backwards or forward by whatever
movement unit you set on the rotor, you can backspace and type and there
is a "Clear All" button one swipe to the right of the edit field.
6. After you finish editing the name just double tap the "Done" button at
the bottom right of the keyboard.
You can also get to where you can edit the folder another way like this:
1. Double tap the folder to open it
2. Put focus on the first app in the folder or actually on any app if you
want.
3. Swipe up or down to "Edit Mode" and double tap, Voiceover will say
"started editing"
4. Swipe left until you get to the folder name, using my example it will
now say "Home Automation, text field", same as in step 3 above.
4. You can now double tap to start editing the text field and continue
with step 5 and 6 above.
I find the first method easier, instead of first opening the folder,
starting editing mode on one of the apps and moving back to the folder
name you simply do 4 simple gestures:
Swipe up, double tap, swipe up, double tap then double tap one last time
and you are where you can edit the name.
Regards,
Sieghard

I searched for the Police app but couldn't find it. I searched in the app
store. Would an add-on be anywhere else?
Thank you,
Julie
Also how can I edit name of a specific folder? There used to be an edit
box but no more in folders. It just lists what is in the folder.

Subject: Siri Shortcut can discreetly record cops during traffic stops,
USA
Today
Pulled over while connected: Siri can quietly video record the police
By Dalvin Brown, USA TODAY, Updated 2:10 p.m. PDT Oct. 4, 2018
This app lets you secretly record the police
Apple's Shortcuts has an add-on feature called "Police." The app uses
Siri
to covertly record law enforcement during a traffic stop.
Just say, "Hey Siri, I'm getting pulled over."
One of the latest apps to hit the iOS 12 mobile highway is Shortcuts.
With
it, users can plot out a series of actions and trigger them by signaling
the
voice-assistant. One savvy user created an add-on called Police that can
give drivers added security during traffic stops.
The brainchild of Redditer Robert Petersen of Arizona, Police was created
to
covertly record law enforcement officials to "keep everyone safe and
honest."
"I have noticed in reading news articles and seeing reports on TV that in
many cases you end up with police saying one thing happened and the
citizen
being pulled over saying another," Petersen said to USA TODAY. "And how
do
you determine truth? Sometimes the police have body cams, sometimes not,
and
even when they do it's not always released in a timely manner."
How does the shortcut work?
Once Siri is alerted about the traffic stop, the program springs into
action
to pause any music that may be playing, turn down your screen brightness
and
puts your phone in Do Not Disturb mode. Siri then sends a text message to
a
designated emergency contact to let them know what's happening.
The front camera turns on to record video of the occurrence.
"When dealing with being pulled over and interacting with law
enforcement,
you want as little distraction as possible, and that includes music,
bright
screens and notifications coming in," Petersen said. "You want to be
focused
on the encounter at hand and don't want any unnecessary distraction to
yourself or to law enforcement personnel."
Once users stop the recording, a copy of the video is sent to a specified
contact, the brightness returns to normal, and Do Not Disturb is
disabled,
Petersen said.
While this application comes at a time when police surveillance is a hot
topic, Shortcuts isn't the first app to help document encounters with
police.
In 2017, the American Civil Liberties Union released an Android app
called
"ACLU Blue" that allows people to record law enforcement and share those
recordings in a public forum. Another app in the Google Play store called
"I'm Getting Arrested!" enables anyone, with one click, to broadcast a
custom alert message in the event they are arrested, and there are
several
others.
While he's proud of his creation, Petersen said he would be happy if no
one
ever needs to use it.
"My only goal with the Police shortcut is trying to help people stay safe
.
and honest," he said. "99.999 percent of the time you'll never need it,
but
if you end up in a situation where it ended up being a good idea, you'll
be
thankful you did."
