In this episode, Thomas Domville demonstrates how to delete your entire iPhone call history or a specific call.
There are several reasons why individuals might choose to delete their iPhone call history or specific call log entries. One common reason is to ensure privacy by removing records of personal or sensitive calls that they wish to keep confidential, especially from others who may have access to their phone. Additionally, deleting old or irrelevant call logs helps maintain an organized call history, making it easier to find important calls and reducing clutter. Sometimes, to prevent misunderstandings or confusion, one might delete a call log entry related to an accidental dial or a call received from a specific number. Furthermore, while call logs take up minimal storage space, clearing them can help free up a small amount of storage on the iPhone, which is particularly useful if there is an extensive call history accumulated over time.
To delete your entire call history on iOS, follow these steps:
Open the Phone app.
Double-tap on the “Recents” tab.
Double-tap on the “Edit” button near the upper left corner, and choose "select" from the resulting menu.
Select “Clear” to remove all call logs.
To delete a specific call log entry:
Navigate to the Recents tab.
Select the call you wish to delete.
Swipe down to reveal the “Delete” option and double tap it.
Please note that deleting call history is irreversible, and the deleted call log entries cannot be restored unless you have a backup made prior to the deletion. Therefore, it’s important to be cautious and only delete call log entries that you are sure you no longer need or that you prefer to keep confidential.

Good day AppleVis, and today on this podcast, I'll be demonstrating a game.
Now, I'm sure we've read Little Red Riding Hood, the book, right?
You know, where the big bad wolf eats grandma and, you know, all that.
Now, this game comes.
It's an audio game, so it comes with a twist.
So basically, you can pick your own path.
Basically, like, you know, let's say, you know, what happened?
What would happen if the wolf didn't eat grandma, for example, or whatnot?
So you've got that choice.
It's that's what's called twisted tails.
So.
Yeah, without further ado, it's developed by the way, it's developed by a company called Sona in New Zealand and in collaboration with the Blind Foundation of Australia, Blind Foundation, Blind Foundation of New Zealand.
So without further ado, we will get straight into the demo.
Now, I will say this.
You have to use in order to use the app, you have to use direct touch.
Also, some parts, like when you're scrolling through the screen, voiceover does seem to cut off like it, you know, does seem to cut words.
So if you do notice that, you know, yes, it's it's probably a app bug.
But, yeah, without further ado, we will get straight into the demo.
Speech setting, wallet, prime video, red writing hood.
So I've got red writing hood here.
So I will double tap on double tap to open the app.
Red writing hood, direct touch area foundation, use the rotor to enable direct touch for this app.

So this is the what all the what elements are…

In this episode, Mark Sarch provides a follow-up to his previous introduction of the Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses. He demonstrates several new features including music integration with Apple Music and Spotify, multilingual support for messaging services like WhatsApp, the new Meta AI visual assistance capabilities, and hands-free video calling with WhatsApp and Messenger.
Mark walks through enabling music services in the MetaView app and using voice commands to control playback. He shows how to send multilingual WhatsApp messages by voice. For the Meta AI visual assistance, Mark showcases its ability to describe objects, read text, identify colors, and more - highlighting its limitations as a mainstream device not optimized for comprehensive document reading.
He compares the Meta AI's output to a live video call demonstration with a human assistant reading details from a business card. Mark also explains the process for hands-free video calling on WhatsApp and Messenger by using the capture button and touchpad.
While not a dedicated assistive device, Mark highlights some potentially useful features for visual assistance and hands-free operation.

Hello everybody, my name is Mark and I'm back once again to talk about Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses latest feature available only for US and Canada.
If you haven't heard before about this pair of smart glasses, I highly recommend listening to the episode I made, review of Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses, where I talk about unboxing, hardware description and basic tasks that you can do with the voice assistant.
In this episode, I will show 4 of the latest features available for hardware, V4.0, music integration, multilingual support for messenger services, Meta AI available for US and Canada only, and WhatsApp and Facebook messenger video call.
Let's talk first about music integration.
Now, Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses support Apple Music and Spotify completely hands-free.
To do this, you have to activate Apple Music or Spotify directly from the MetaView app.
I will show you how to do it.
MetaView Open MetaView MetaView From the bottom you have a few tabs, click on settings, and then from here you have to see Apple Music Button Spotify Button If you listen to my voice not too loud, it's because I have placed the microphone really close to my ear, where you will be able to listen to the music completely hands-free.
Using only your voice, where you can request commands as resume the music, change to the next song, change to the previous song, and also pause.
Just you have to say the magic phrase and it will sound like this.
Hey Meta, resume music.
Hey Meta, next.
Hey Meta, previous.
Hey Meta, pause.
Great, I think you get some idea how this thing works.
Now, I'm going to show you something, but in order to do this request, you have to place the finger on the touchpad.
It's to change to the next radio station.
Press and hold using one finger on the touchpad for two seconds, will change to the next radio station.
Resuming, this is…

In this episode, Thomas Domville delves into the seamless sharing of content from your iPhone screen via iMessage, thanks to Siri’s enhanced capabilities. Apple has equipped Siri with on-device processing, offline support, and advanced contextual awareness, which facilitates a smooth “Share This” feature.
Here’s the process:
When you’re in any supported application, such as Safari, Apple Music, or Photos, you can initiate sharing by saying, “Hey Siri, share this with [contact name].” Siri will grasp the context and ask for confirmation to share the particular content. Afterward, you have the option to append a personalized message before sending it off.
Should the content be unsharable directly, like a weather forecast, Siri cleverly captures a screenshot to share instead.

In this episode, Thomas Domville demonstrates a handy feature in the Mail app on your iPhone: Block Sender. Block Sender is a feature in the Mail app that allows you to prevent emails from specific senders from reaching your inbox. Once you block a sender, their emails will either be automatically deleted or sent to your Trash folder, depending on your settings.
There are many reasons why you might want to block senders such as:
Spam: This is the most common reason. Block those unwanted marketing emails and get your inbox back under control.
Unsubscribe Nightmare: Tried unsubscribing but the emails keep coming? Blocking is a more forceful solution.
Unwanted Contacts: Maybe you have an ex or someone you no longer want to hear from. Blocking cuts off email communication.
How to Block Senders in Mail (iOS):
Find the Mail app and locate an email from the sender you want to block.
Swipe down to the More option and double tap to bring up a menu.
Locate the Block Sender option and double tap it.
Bonus Tip!
You can also manage your blocked senders list in the Settings app:
Go to Settings > Mail.
Double tap on "Blocked".
Here you can see a list of all your blocked senders and even unblock them if you need to.

Definitely a huge improvement over many years ago when we used to get tons of spams and unwanted emails, right?
Things have gotten a lot better.
You don't get as nearly as much as you used to, but there's still a few that kind of slides in and you find those in within your spam folder and et cetera.
Sometimes they don't even make it to the spam folder.
Comes right into your inbox.
I'm going to show you how to block a sender.
Now, obviously there are many different scenarios why you would want a blocks of sender.
Perhaps it is a spam or an unwanted mail or perhaps it is unwanted mail, but from somebody that you know that just persistently send you an email and there's you just want those particular emails go directly to the trash can.
All right, let's just do that.

Hello AppleViz.
This is Ida Grace and I am here today with a podcast on the baby adopter dress up app.
I want to go through a couple of quick disclaimers before I start.
First of all, I want to say that I did a podcast for this app years ago.
However, it was called Milky Baby at the time and now it is baby adopter dress up and my podcast for that is no longer available on AppleViz at least as far as I've been able to tell.
417 PM.
Ah, I wanted to tell you a disclaimer about the voice I'm using too, but the app has gone through a couple of changes anyway, so I was given the green light to go ahead and make a new podcast.
And the second disclaimer is involving the voice I am using.
I am using American Siri voice 5 because it is pride season and if you all were able to read the article that Apple put out, this voice was recorded by somebody in the LGBT community.
So I thought with pride month approaching fast, I would keep this voice on through pride season.
However, as you'll notice as I demonstrate this app, it does have some delays.
There is a little bit of delay between voiceover speech and voiceover sound.
So you will notice that comma 418 PM and it is 418 PM.
I am on the clock widget right now.
So the first thing I want to let you know is when you first open the baby adopter dress up app, it's going to ask you if you want the app to send you notifications.
I always turn that on, but all they do is notify you every 24 hours if you forget to feed the baby.
So if you don't want the notifications turned on, you don't have to do it.
Just know that if you're using this on an iPad like I am, the baby will cry and you won't get a vibration.
You'll just get because iPads don't have haptics.
So you're just going to get the baby crying if you forget to feed the baby in 24 hours.
I'm also using iPadOS 16 because the Siri voices do not auto delete for voiceover as they do in iOS 17.
They seem to be…
