Hello 
This line from instrucitons confuses me 

"Beaconing to APRS-IS can be enabled with a switch while the Extra Features subscription is active."

I have loaded APRS.FI on my Apple 16 I phone and purchased a Yearly Fair Trade annual subscription. 

I want to beacon my position to APRS-IS to help with other APRS tasks I am doing. 

Is there a more precise instruction available as I do not know where to find this "switch" 

Thanks

Hi,

APRS-IS beaconing is available with the Extra Features subscription. To
enable APRS-IS beaconing, go to the Beacon tab, enable "Beacon via
APRS-IS".

It's the third switch from the top of the Beacon tab.

Note that the APRS-IS is a public network, and your position will be
visible to anyone. There is no privacy. Data sent to the APRS-IS is
archived by a number of services, and will be available for download or
viewing even after you stop transmitting.
