Hello Everyone,
If you want to have Siri speak your current location, as of iOS 8.3 or later, simply say, “Tell me where I am” or ask, “Where am I?”
Happy Traveling.

Hello Everyone,
One of my friends, until now, has fervently refused to setup either a Touch-ID or PIN on her iPhone 6, despite my suggestions to the contrary. She said she thought it was too much trouble.

Hello All,
I have recently become a huge fan of both the CVS Pharmacy website and, more importantly to me, the CVS iOS App.
As an F.Y.I., in the area in which I live, there are over 11 CVS Pharmacies staffed with some of the nicest pharmacists and pharmacy technicians I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. These people really care about their customers.
I am posting this to let you know that the CVS Pharmacy iOS app is marvelously accessible via VoiceOver, Apples’ software screen reading solution for the blind and low vision.
For the first time in my life, I can independently access and manage all of my prescriptions with confidence and privacy.
To iOS VoiceOver users, whether you’re a new customer or a dedicated, longtime fan of the company, grab the app, setup an online account via either the app or their website and enjoy.
A heart-felt thanks to CVS Pharmacy for making medicine more manageable for the blind and low vision.
