Regarding previous article:

 I took a video on my phone of water reflecting off my hot tub as it reflected against my house from the sun in the wind. It was a beautiful pattern so I sent about 15 or 20 seconds of it to my kids and my wife. However, after I did this my texts to my wife could not be received or sent and the video I kept resending and it wouldn't send. On top of this I couldn't access any of my previous text on her text stream. I finally asked my 25 year old daughter what to do as I find my kids often understand these things better than I do now in my 70s. 

Before I asked her I restarted my phone so I shut it down and started it back up. This didn't fix it. Then when my daughter got involved she said "Delete that text stream." I wasn't sure how to do that so she showed me how. Somehow by deleting that stream of texts and starting a new one (I didn't know you could even do this with texts, THIS WORKED!

Then while I was reading and blogging right now I realized that maybe quoting one article about it might also help anyone else who might be having this same problem with their IPhone. (Because Androids for example operate differently than IPhones usually.

Though I have had Android phones before I find that even though you can do much more with them I prefer a more simple and intuitive phone like an Iphone even though it is less secure in all ways.

If you realize that al Smartphones and digital phones are the least secure internet device you can own then you can adjust the ways you use them to begin with. 

For me, I don't play games on my phone ever. I just use them for phoning and texting and that's all. Nothing else. This keeps my life more secure and functional living this way. OH. I do internet surf on my IPhone a lot too. way I use my laptop partly because there are rooms in my house that don't get wifi and also when I'm out and about too if I'm not driving the car or truck at the time.

Often articles I find first thing in the morning somewhere  on my IPHONE I later quote in blogs later in the day on my laptop here at this website.
