Quick tip of the day

Have an iPhone? Here’s a quick tip to avoid having to sit through those unskippable ads on YouTube.

  • Instead of watching through the YouTube app, open the Safari browser.
  • Press play on the video, and when the ad pops up, refresh the browser. Your content will resume once the page loads, skipping the ad. Voila! 

Here’s one more iPhone trick for good measure. Have a ton of old alarms you don’t need anymore? Deleting them one by one is a pain. Instead, just say, “Siri, delete my alarms.” Done!

🤖 I didn’t forget about you, Android pals. If Google Assistant is driving you batty, try these six fixes.
