Now, there will be times, when you would definitely wish to possess multiple Apple ID’s just like every other interface in order to switch to keep your personal uses (like maintaining contacts, downloads, videos, etc.) and professional tasks (like, editing files, sending emails, etc.) totally separate.

Fortunately, Apple allows users to do that.

What Exactly Happens when you Switch Apple ID’s?

When you switch between Apple IDs on your iPhone or iPad, most of your contents will remain, for instance, calendars, contacts, photos, videos, apps, books, music, subscriptions, etc.

But updating apps or services will be a problem if you are logged into a different iTunes of App store than the one you purchased them on.

There is a hack to it. While you are signed in to a different Apple ID, you are allowed to merge the contents present on your Apple device with the iCloud server associated with the new Apple ID. So make sure to save your contents from your previous account on your iPhone or iPad before signing in to the new ID. Once you are signed in to the new ID, merge your contents from your device to iCloud, and you are ready to go.

The article will proceed in two parts.

Step 3. In the new Window, scroll down and tap the “Sign-out” button.

Step 4. Tap “Sign out of iCloud” if you have got a separate account for your iCloud, iTunes, etc. or else switch to the next step.

Step 5. Type the “Apple ID password” of your current account.

Step 7. Ensure, that you toggle on the option which allows you to save data locally on your device. So that when you switch to the new Apple ID, you will be able to merge your contents with your new Apple ID.

Step 8. Finally, tap “Sign out” two times to confirm that you really wish to “Sign out”. They need to be sure, you know.!@@.@#!#..

You are done for now. Get to the new part now.

I mean the episodes, channel number, TV contrast and color adjustment commands, voice modulation, and everything.

Does not it sound amazing? Of course, it is…….

You must have seen the similar kinds of voice command control offers for TV by Amazon for Fire TV and Alexa, or by Google for Android TV, Chromecast, and Google Assistant.

But Apple has introduced lately the 4K Apple TVs featuring the same voice command controls with the help of SIRI…….The Famous Virtual Voice command Assistant program of Apple which has been helping users with iPhones and iPads all this while and now with Apple TV as well with iOS 12.2.

So basically in earlier versions of Apple TVs, you literally had to reach out for the TV remote to control the device, but not anymore. Now you can use any of your iPhones, iPads, to do the job. Just sync your iDevice with the Apple TV and Siri will heed your commands.

The article here will guide you step by step to use SIRI by voice commands to control your Apple TV.

Method Description:

Step 1: Activate the “Hey Siri” in iOS

To begin with enabling Siri, head to your iOS device, and look out for “Siri and search” option.

Tap to toggle on the “Listen for “Hey Siri” option. Next, you have to follow certain sample voice commands to let Siri learn your voice.

Finally, ensure that “Allow Siri when locked” option is enabled so that you can use the voice commands even if your device is locked.

You can use this step for any iOS devices, like iPhones, iPads, you want to sync with the Apple TV.

Step 2: Login to Apple TV and iCloud on iOS

From your iPhone or iPad, opt for the “Sign in” option in the “Settings” panel.

Sign into your iCloud account with your Apple account credentials. In case you see your name only on the sign-in page, that means you are already signed in.

Now you have to sign in to your iCloud account from the Apple TV also. To do that, go to “Settings”. Choose “Accounts” and then “iCloud” option.

Go for the “Sign-in” option and enter your details for login.

NOTE: Here you are accessing the sign in option on your Apple TV using the Apple TV remote control.

Step 3: Activate AirPlay 2 Feature on Apple TV

Now in order to receive the voice commands off your iOS device, this feature called AirPlay 2 on your Apple TV needs to be enabled.

To enable it, go to the “Settings” of Apple TV, and choose “AirPlay”. Check if it is showing “on” or not.

Now you will get to see a notification “Start using AirPlay 2” on your TV screen.

As per instruction, unlock your specific iOS device, turn on it’s Bluetooth, and hold it closer to your TV. Then press “Connect” when asked.

This will pair your iOS device with the Apple TV.

One more thing, make sure to choose the room in which your Apple TV is fit for watching. Later on, you have to mention this very room by a particular name by your voice command for Siri.

Step 4: Install Apple TV Search Support Apps

There are over 80 such Apple Apps which help you to search over a wide range of server your programs, and TV shows.

Just make sure that all the necessary search supports apps are installed on your “Apple TV Search Support List” and you are signed to all those apps.

Let me give you an example if you have got search apps installed like DirecTV Now, PlayStation Vue, Fubo TV, then you can search for live TV programs or channels supporting those services.

Step 5: Activate HDMI-CEC

This feature, called HDMI-CEC if enabled on both your Television and Apple TV.

Go to Apple TV “Settings” choose “Remote and Devices” and ensure that “Control TVs and Receivers” option is “on”.

Next, go to your TV settings, and enable your “CEC” option.

NOTE: In case a CEC option is not shown on screen, try out settings like “Sync” or “Link” with few names like “Bravia Link” and “Aquos Link”.

Step 6: Try out Voice Commands

Now its all set. You can now try the voice commands to check if Siri is really following your dictates or not.

Few examples of voice commands are given below to check your authority over Siri:

• “Hey Siri, Play second season episode 10 of The Big Bang Theory”.
• “Hey Siri, rewind two minutes before on Apple TV”.
• “Hey Siri, play Lucifer on the living room TV”.

Conclusion:

Well, it all seems quite comforting and interesting, but unfortunately, Netflix does not allow direct streaming on voice commands.

Similarly, you might face certain setbacks if Apple TV tries to steer you into an unintended or wrong app.

On such cases, you have to use your remote control to do the maneuvering. Otherwise, it’s all good, and you can go for it.

Read the article sincerely, and it will definitely prove to be a great help.

“How to Transfer WhatsApp Chats from Android to iPhone?”

Are you too concerned regarding this particular question? Then you have come to the just right place to get all your queries cleared.

How???? Just keep reading and you will know in time.

So WhatsApp is generally a cross-platform for messaging, sharing media files, like videos, music, images, etc. and has really created a breakthrough in communication among millions of users around the globe.

Both Android and iOS users are using this application every day. Thus there might come a time when you would like to transfer your WhatsApp chats from Android device to iDevice if you have got a new iPhone or iPad.

However, owning both Android and iPhone is not uncommon for users these days. What is really uncommon is to find the right solution to transfer the chats from one device to another device.

For that, we are here, so just relax.

Two free methods are given below back to back. Read them carefully first, and then choose any one of them to pull off the chat transfer process.

METHODS USED:

• Transfer WhatsApp Chats Using Email Chat
• Transfer WhatsApp chats Using WhatsApp Backup

Method #1: Transfer WhatsApp Chats Using Email Chat

This is one of the simplest methods of all. Only 4 to 5 steps are involved.

But if you are intending to transfer only short conversations or chats, then this method is highly recommendable. You can repeat this method over and over again to transfer all your chats.

Now read the steps below to know how it actually works:

Step 1. From your Android device, access the “Settings” page and tap on “Chat Settings”.

Step 2. Off the sub-menu, select “Email Chat” option.

Step 3. Now choose cautiously the particular WhatsApp Chat or conversation that you intend to transfer. A new notification will appear saying “attaching media will generate a larger email message”. You can avoid this message if you do not want to attach any media files.

Step 4. Next, you will be asked to enter your Email number to the sending interface. Enter it and press “Send”.

Step 5. Now open up your email account using the iPhone device, and you will find the WhatsApp chats here, but there is no way you can sync them to your WhatsApp account in the new device. That is the only disadvantage to this method.

However, you can view the chats on your iPhone easily regardless of the fact that you can’t have the chats on your WhatsApp application. That’s one plus point.

If you are not satisfied with this method, then try the next one.

Method #2: Transfer WhatsApp chats Using WhatsApp Backup

In case the Email Chat method did not satisfy you well, then transferring your WhatsApp chats using WhatsApp backup might interest you to some extent.

Read the step by step guide below to know the entire method:

Step 1. On your Android device, launch WhatsApp app and go to “Settings” option, select “Chats” and then “Chat backup”.

Step 2. Tap on “Backup” button from the next page and all your so far chats will be backed up, uninstall your WhatsApp application on your Android device.

Step 3. Next; freshly launch WhatsApp on your iPhone device and sign in with your original WhatsApp account details.

Step 4. Now you will receive a message saying all your WhatsApp message backup is found.

Step 5. Tap the “Restore” option and all your backed up messaged from your Android device will be transferred to your new iPhone.

The transfer process may take some time depending upon the size of your backup, especially if it contains any heavy media files.

Conclusion:

The first method will help you only to view the chats on your iPhone without transferring them to WhatsApp application interface. It is good for immediate chat view.

But for a permanent transfer solution the second method will do more justice only under the condition that WhatsApp application is uninstalled from old device that is Android device here.

Choose wisely according to your needs. You can also try out some free or paid utilities available on software distributions sites. They give you direct and suitable access to transfer the chats from one device to another device in one click.

If you need to transfer only 1 or 2 contacts immediately to your SIM, then this method comes quite handy.

One more thing to note is that we will make use of an Android phone also in this approach.

Once the contacts are copied to SIM, you can later insert the SIM back to your iPhone.

#2: Copy All Contacts from iPhone to SIM using iCloud

The above method is easy to pull off, but you have to repeat the same step many a times to copy all your contacts to SIM. Undoubtedly it is very time consuming.

Now in this particular approach, we would sync the iPhone to iCloud allowing the contacts to be stored to iCloud. Then we will download the contacts to computer and transfer them to Android phone to export the data to SIM like we discussed in the last method.

So let’s begin with the steps detailed below:

Step 1. From your iPhone’s “Settings” select “iCloud” option and then “Contacts”. Simply toggle the “Contacts” option on. Now all your contacts will automatically be synced to your iCloud server.

Step 2. Now using your computer, visit iCloud.com and log in to your account.

Step 3. Open “Contacts” and choose one by one the contacts that you wish to copy to your SIM holding the “Command” and “CTRL” key.

Step 4. Click on the “Settings” icon at the bottom left corner and choose “Export vcard” and the contacts will be downloaded to your computer.

Step 5. Connect Android phone containing the target SIM card in it to your Computer via USB cable.
