Lesser-Known iOS/iPadOS Apps

Take a look at the app icons above. Do you recognize any of them? This is just a small sampling of some lesser-known apps that serve a purpose for some people.

Web Browsers & Search Engines

Have you only used Safari to browse the web? Maybe Chrome? There are actually a bunch of web browsers to choose from. Let’s look at all the options and compare what is good or bad.

Hey, while we are in the browser, let’s talk search engines. Is AI (artificial intelligence) really helping us here? Are search engines just worse now? Do you miss Alta Vista? Let’s chat about it.

iOS 18 Customization Challenge

(NOTE: This meeting will be held at the Edina Library)

iOS 18 has been out for a few months now. The big visual changes are the new customization options for the Home Screen to allow you to move icons anywhere on the screen, tint or have dark mode icons, and change the size of icons. You can now change the Lock Screen buttons to something besides just the flash light and camera. The Control Center is fully customizable to move controls around and add additional pages.

A few members have been challenged to try out some (or all) of these new customization features for 2 weeks to see if they stick with it or abandon it (any why!). Anyone is also welcome to partake in this challenge and share your experience at the meeting.
