		Translate Languages using the Translate App on iPhone	Your device has a powerful Translation app that will translate text or your voice to another language.
		How to Set Up & Use Keyboard Shortcuts	Do you have a common phrase that you find yourself texting frequently. Or is there a common closing that you add to your emails? If you do, you can create a keyboard shortcut that saves time and typing. By creating a shortcut you can turn a couple of characters, e.g. “gm” into a commonly-used phrase, “Good Morning.” This Nugget will show you how to create and use Keyboard Shortcuts.
		Use the iPhone Magnifier to Read the Fine Print	Since IOS 10, the iPhone has an easy to access Magnifier that will use your iPhones camera and flash as a Magnifier that you can use to read fine print or detail. This recipe will identify how to access the Magnifier, verify the Settings needed to make it available and a couple of essential options for lighting and focus.
		Medical ID Could Save your Life	The Medical ID function of the iPhone’s Health App could be life saving. Medical ID is an emergency card that can store critical medical and contact information and be available to first responders even if your phone is locked.
		Find your Parked Car	If you are using your car’s Bluetooth function to listen to music or make hands-free calls, the Apple Maps program will automatically mark the location your car when Bluetooth is disconnected. A very handy function that will help you find your “lost” parked car.
		How to Make Emergency SOS Calls on your iPhone	With your iPhone’s Emergency SOS , you can quickly and easily call for help and alert your emergency contacts. It could save your life!
		Scan and Store Documents Using your iPhone’s Notes App	Ever wish you had access to a scanner that you could use to scan and store documents? You now have a scanner that you hold in your hand. With IOS 11 and later you can use the camera on your iPhone to scan documents into Notes for storage or even markup.
		Use iPhone Spotlight Search to Find Apps, Get Reminders, News and More	Have you ever lost an app on your iPhone. You’ve scanned all of your Home screens and just don’t see the app that you know is on your iPhone. The Spotlight Search function on your iPhone gets results from your apps but also from the Internet, from Maps and Contacts and more.
