𝗛𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗸𝗶𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗵𝗼𝗻𝗲? 𝗧𝘂𝗿𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁!

You open a game or video for them, and somehow they end up in your texts or photos. This simple setting keeps them in ONE app until you unlock it.

𝗢𝗻 𝗶𝗣𝗵𝗼𝗻𝗲:
• Go to Settings → Accessibility → Guided Access.
• Turn it on and set a passcode under Passcode Settings.
• Open the app, triple-click the side button, select Guided Access if prompted, and tap Start.

𝗢𝗻 𝗦𝗮𝗺𝘀𝘂𝗻𝗴 𝗚𝗮𝗹𝗮𝘅𝘆:
• Go to Settings → Security and privacy → More security settings → Allow apps to be pinned.
• Enable the option to require your PIN or password before unpinning, if shown.
• Open the app, bring up Recent apps, tap the app icon above its preview, and select Pin this app.

Other Android phones: Search Settings for “App pinning” or “Screen pinning.” Menu names vary.

Use a code your child doesn’t know. This keeps them in the app, but doesn’t filter what they can access inside it.

Watch the video for the walkthrough, and share this with a parent or grandparent who could use it!

𝗪𝗔𝗡𝗧 𝗕𝗘𝗧𝗧𝗘𝗥 𝗔𝗡𝗦𝗪𝗘𝗥𝗦 𝗙𝗥𝗢𝗠 𝗖𝗛𝗔𝗧𝗚𝗣𝗧?
𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗥𝗧 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗦𝗘𝗧𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚.

Ever notice ChatGPT seems to think every idea you have is a great one? That might feel good, but it isn’t always helpful when you need honest feedback.

Custom instructions let you explain how you want ChatGPT to respond. You can encourage it to question your assumptions, point out potential problems, and ask for more information.

This video starts with a laugh, then I show you where to add those instructions and what to write. It won’t make every answer correct, but it can help you get more useful feedback.

Watch, save this to update yours, and share it with someone who uses ChatGPT!

𝗧𝗘𝗖𝗛 𝗧𝗜𝗣: 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗙𝗜𝗥𝗦𝗧 𝗕𝗔𝗡𝗞 𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗞 𝗢𝗡 𝗚𝗢𝗢𝗚𝗟𝗘 𝗖𝗢𝗨𝗟𝗗 𝗕𝗘 𝗙𝗔𝗞𝗘

The FBI has warned about scammers using paid search ads to impersonate legitimate banks and financial institutions.

Here's how it can happen:

✓ You Google your bank to log in

✓ A Sponsored result appears near the top

✓ The website looks almost identical to your bank's real website

✓ You enter your username and password

✓ You just handed your login information to a scammer

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗮𝘆:

Use your bank's official app, type the website address directly into your browser, or bookmark the real website.

And ALWAYS check the website address before entering financial information.

Just because it's at the top of Google doesn't mean it's legitimate.

Share this with someone who always Googles their bank to log in. It could save them from a very expensive mistake.

𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗣𝗛𝗢𝗡𝗘 𝗖𝗔𝗡 𝗧𝗬𝗣𝗘 𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗜𝗥𝗘 𝗦𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗡𝗖𝗘𝗦 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛 𝗝𝗨𝗦𝗧 𝗔 𝗙𝗘𝗪 𝗟𝗘𝗧𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗦

Here’s a simple phone trick that can save you a surprising amount of typing.

If you’re constantly typing your email address, business hours, address, appointment instructions, or the same customer responses, create a shortcut and let your phone type it for you.

iPhone:
Settings → General → Keyboard → Text Replacement → +

Add the full phrase you want and then create a short shortcut for it.

Android with Gboard:
Gboard Settings → Dictionary → Personal Dictionary → Choose your language → +

Add your phrase and create a shortcut.

For example, you could type “myhours” and have your phone automatically suggest your entire business hours message.

This is especially useful for business owners, but anyone who types the same information regularly can take advantage of it.

Try creating one shortcut today. Once you start using them, you’ll probably think of five more you want to add.

If you use ChatGPT for the same types of things over and over, you need to check out 𝗦𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀.

Skills let you teach ChatGPT exactly how you want something done, then reuse those instructions whenever you need them.

And for businesses, this gets even more useful.

You can 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗦𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 so your team can use the same instructions and processes.

Imagine creating one Social Media Skill that knows your company’s writing style, or a Customer Service Skill that knows exactly how your business wants responses handled, then sharing that Skill with your employees.

Social media. Customer emails. Reports. Marketing. Internal processes. There are a TON of possibilities.

Think about something you or your employees are constantly explaining to ChatGPT. That might be the perfect thing to turn into a Skill.

𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥𝐬 𝐔𝐬𝐞 𝐇𝐢𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐀𝐈 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐬?

Teachers and schools are facing a difficult challenge as they determine how AI should fit into education.

One method being discussed by many universities and schools is placing hidden instructions inside an assignment. If a student copies the assignment into an AI tool, the hidden prompt tells the AI to include a specific phrase or unusual detail. That could alert the teacher that AI was used.

Is this a reasonable academic integrity tool, or could it create concerns about fairness and whether it provides reliable evidence?

Schools are working through something completely new. Could the best long term approach be clear AI policies, disclosure requirements, reviewing drafts, and having students demonstrate that they understand their work?

There are good arguments on both sides. What do you think schools should do?

But do you actually know what it can access?

AI is being built into phones, computers, email, browsers, search engines, and more. That can be incredibly useful, but it also means there are a few settings you should probably take a look at.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝟲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗜 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴:

Whether your AI conversations are being saved
What apps and accounts your AI assistant can access
New Windows AI features like Microsoft Recall
Your phone’s camera, microphone, photo and location permissions
What personal information you are putting into AI
Whether the default AI settings are actually right for you

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗮𝗳𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗜.

It is to understand what is turned on, what information you are sharing, and how to use these tools safely.
