Which Fingerprint? How to Use Photos for Wallpaper, too
Channel: Bills iPhone Tips

From http://billsklodowski.com - This week, two very different tips for using your iPhone or iPad. And honestly, one is for “older” devices out there: iPhone 8 and earlier models. So if you have a newer iPhone / iPad (iPhone 10 or later), this first tip won’t be for you...but the second tip on wallpaper works for ALL devices, so stick around!

Normally, we try to do videos that work for all devices, no matter the age. However, we had someone write into the blog (at http://www.BillSklodowski.com) and ask specifically about figuring out which fingerprint the phone was using when you unlock it with Fingerprint ID. If you look into the Settings app, you normally only see a list that says “Fingerprint 1,” “Fingerprint 2,” etc. Watch this video to see which of those fingerprints is for which of your fingers...and learn to change the labels so you won’t have to guess ever again! 

The second tip works for everyone and every device, no matter the age. We’ve already done a recent video about how to use photographs and other artwork stored on your iPhone or iPad as the “wallpaper” for the device. You can have different pictures as wallpaper on the lock screen and the inside, “home” screens of your device (both iPhones and iPads). 

But did you know you can use the same photo, and still move or resize that photo for different screen uses? Yes, you can! Check out the video for details, and have fun personalizing your iPhone or iPad. 

And don’t forget: You can get a free weekly "Recap" email telling you all about the past week's videos, and a link to download the free "class handout" to show you exactly how to do it what we show on the videos (usually the iPhone Friday video, but sometimes both the weekly videos have handouts.)
