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.

Hello and welcome.
My name is Thomas Domville, also known as AnonyMouse.
In this podcast, I'm going to introduce you to a feature called Block Sender that you can find within your mail app for iOS.
Now, I will admit in recent years, some of the mail services that I use have done a great job.
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.
I'm going to go to my mail app here.
I have one particular mail that I would like to place on a block sender and I will show you how to do that and why I'm doing it for this particular mail.
Mail.
No one read emails.
Double tap to open.
So I'm going to do that.
One finger double tap to open up my mail app here.
Mail.
Search.
Search field.
Double tap to edit.
Now let's go to the particular mail that I was talking about in question that I like to block.
I'm going to go to the right here.
Dictate button.
Double tap to start dictation.
Double tap with two fingers when finished.
Sam's club.
See what'…

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…

In this episode, Thomas Domville demonstrates how to connect to a Windows computer using the Files app on iOS and iPadOS, in order to transfer files over your local network.
To do this, you'll first need to make sure file and printer sharing is enabled on your computer by going to Settings > Network & Internet > Advanced network settings > Advanced sharing settings, and making sure "File and printer sharing" is on for your current connection type, either public or private. To view your computer's internal or "Private" IPV4 address, which you'll need to enter on your iPhone or iPad, either use the ipconfig command line tool as demonstrated in the episode, or locate it via the GUI by going to Settings > Network & Internet > Advanced network settings > Hardware and connection properties.
To connect to the computer from your iPhone or iPad, open the Files app, double-tap the "More" button near the top right of the screen, and choose "Connect to server" from the resulting menu. Enter your computer's IP address in the "Server address" field, and double-tap Connect. You'll then be prompted to authenticate with the username and password you use to log into the computer, after which it should appear in the brows view of the Files app, under the "Shared" heading.
Once connected, you can brows and modify the file and folder structure of the C Drive from the Files app, as well as transfer files from other apps on your device to this location. To disconnect your iPhone or iPad from your computer, focus on it in the brows view of the Files app and choose "eject" from the Actions rotor.
Note: This feature was demonstrated on a computer running Windows 11. While it is available on prior versions of Windows, the process for configuring it may be slightly different.

Hello and welcome.
My name is Thomas Domville , also known as AnonyMouse.
Now this podcast is going to be for my advanced users out there.
Now I've been in this position for quite a while and I have been thinking about how could I streamline this process.
So are you one of those people that tend to transfer files a lot back and forth from your iPhone or your iOS device to your computer?
If you are, raise your hand.
This might be something for you to think about.
Yes, you do have the option to kind of transfer from your phone to your computer by using a third party service such as Dropbox, Google Drive, or maybe Microsoft OneDrive.
But the problem with that, it can be slow, right?
Or I just don't want to store it up in those surfaces for whatever reason that is.
In my case, I tend to have some very large files and can take some time, especially if you have a slow internet access.
So in other words, anytime I need to transfer something, so I'm essentially sending it up through the internet, through the cloud, store it up there.
So it takes that time to do it and then go on my phone, go through Microsoft OneDrive and go to the drive and pull it back down.
And it's kind of tedious.
I wish it would be more…

Hello everybody.
My name is Marco and this audio I'm going to do unboxing, hardware description, demo and extra features of RayVan Meta Smart Glasses.
Unboxing.
Well, it looks like a classic recycle package, flat box, and I'm going to give you the package dimensions.
It's about seven inches length, about three and a half inches width, and about two inches height.
Okay.
I don't feel that has any tape on it, so which means so I don't have to cut anything.
So in order to open it and also I feel some something printed on it in highlights is on the top and on the sides, on the length sides and both sides.
Okay.
So I'm going to place the box with the length side closer to me in horizontal way.
It's sitting down on my desk and the way how open the box is from the left and from the right sides, which means the width sides.
So I'm going to start opening from the left side.
Once again, I don't have to cut anything.
Basically the only thing I need is use my fingernail in order to make some pressure.
You know, like pushing out, yeah, pushing down first and then pushing out and I'm going to open.
Here you go.
I did.
I'm going to open also the right side.
Once again, I'm going to use my finger and nail, push down and push out and this one is easier.
Okay.
So what's on it?
Well, the box has like a compartment in one of the sites and which is the, you know, the paper manuals, the user guide and everything in this case is on my right side.
And on the left side is the microfiber cloth and I feel the case on it.
Okay.
So in order to take out the case from the package, that I do is with my right hand, I'm going to feel it and make some, and I'm going to push it so to my left side.
So and with my left hand, I'm going to touch it and locate it and I'm going to twist it a little bit and the way, you know, how get out a little bit and here we go.
I'm going to start pushing once again with my right fingers and here we go.
I have it here.
Well, this is the box and on my hands.
Now I have the, the case and the glasses are inside.
Now I am going to open the case and it has on the front, some kind of magnet, which allows to attach to the case with the lid, that's I can tell and the glasses are inside.
On the middle, there is some plastic tape, which is in order to keep in place the glasses in the case.
So I have to cut it or just, yeah, cut it or push up and down in order to take out the glasses…
