Feb 6, 2025 - Leave a Comment

Using an AirTag to track a dog can be a really great idea for pet owners

Using AirTags to keep track of a dog can offer some additional peace of mind, especially if you’re worried about your fuzzy companion wandering off. Whether your dog has a penchant to escape out of your yard, has a tendency to bolt, or simply likes to run off at any opportunity, AirTags can provide a helpful way of locating them quickly, especially if you’re in a neighborhood, urban, or suburban environment where the Find My network is most useful as all other nearby Apple devices will help to track the location of that AirTag equipped dog.

With an AirTags 4-pack being available for just $70, now is a particularly compelling time to equip your furry best friend with one of the personal trackers and an AirTag holder for their dog collar, so that you can improve your odds of being able to locate your dog should they ever get lost or separated from you.

How to Turn Off “Follow Up” Mail Suggestions on iPhone & iPad

Jan 30, 2025 - 6 Comments

How to disable Follow Up Suggestions on Mail for iPhone and iPad

The Mail app on iPhone and iPad has been around since the beginning of those devices, and many people have grown familiar with how the Mail app works and behaves. But recently, Apple has been making a lot of tweaks and adjustments to the Mail app, and some of these changes are not necessarily welcome by the user, or they can lead to confusion. One such example that is causing some frustration is the “Follow Up” suggestions feature on Mail for iPhone and iPad, which resurface emails that have not yet received a reply, nudging you to send a follow up email. The most common complaint about this feature is that it leads to the impression that the email thread has been updated and the email has received a reply, which then is loaded only to discover there is no new reply in the email thread, which has caused some users to think the Mail app is not properly displaying new emails or showing replies.

To stop old emails from showing up at the top of your Mail inbox on iPhone or iPad with the “Follow Up” badge, you can disable the Follow Up Suggestions feature.

How to Disable “Follow Up” Mail Suggestions on Mac

Jan 29, 2025 - 2 Comments

Mail icon for Mac

One of the polarizing Mail for Mac features is “Follow Up”, which are suggestions on emails that Apple Mail thinks you should follow up with. The idea behind “Follow Up” suggestions in Mail is pretty simple; if you haven’t received a reply or heard back from a particular person or email, the last sent message will appear at the top of your Mail Inbox with a “Follow Up” tag attached to it. This feature has caused some confusion for people, because it sends old emails to the top of the inbox, which can make it appear as if the email is new or got a reply, when in fact it did not.

While some users may appreciate the nudge, others may find the Follow Up feature to be unwanted or annoying, and thus want to turn it off in Mail for Mac. That’s exactly what we’re going to show you how to do.
