I believe if you have family sharing enabled that books purchased are included in what is shared. Generally, there is no disadvantage to linking accounts with family sharing except that only the primary account gets billed for all purchases. > On Feb 1, 2025, at 4:17 PM, 'Karen Poulakos' via V

I had a mixed issue with this. I ran code Scan as suggested but it wouldn't read the QR code on my new oven. Just for completeness I turned Voiceover off and ran it again and it worked. When I turned Voiceover back on after Code Scan the information I needed was there. Karl __ Karl

Paying for an Apple News Plus subscription gives you access to far more than just the otherwise blocked articles. You get access to over two hundred magazines. I've enjoyed many here in Canada and I suspect Americans would be given access to even more. There are also puzzles including crosswords, s

Hi, I believe this is for RTA, which I have no idea where that system is. In the upper left corner of the transit app there is a "user / options” this opens a screen with a close button on the right. If you create an account by pressing the account button it says you can now purchase RTA fares o

Allison, The name of the item you're wanting to use is Code Scanner. Siri opens mine just fine when I say Open Code Scanner. If you're going to insist on putting the QR in your search or dictation, I don't expect you'll be successful. Alan Lemly Sent from my iPhone > On Feb 1, 2025, at 8:27

I hate to say that I am still struggling. When I typed qr code scanner into the edit field, it took me to a website. I've also tried asking Siri without success and the Meta Glasses also say they can't do this. I can see that qr code reader is ticked when I went to Camera in the settings but on
