As we get into the fall upgrade season, we have the first batch of new and updated Take Control books for you (with many more on their way).
 
Take Control of Find My and AirTags, by Glenn Fleishman, explains the technology behind Find My, including the often-misunderstood “Find My network,” and how best to put it to use with your own equipment. Glenn shows you how to use Find My with people (Find My Friends, which includes members of Family Sharing groups), devices (your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, or Apple Watch), and items (Apple AirTags, AirPods, some Beats products, and third-party trackers that use the Find My network). Glenn pays special attention to privacy issues, including how to avoid stalking related to the use of this technology. The book is fully up to date with the Find My-related changes coming soon in iOS 15, iPadOS 15, and macOS 12 Monterey.

In Take Control of iOS 15 and iPadOS 15, version 1.1, Josh Centers updates his advice about iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 to reflect changes that occurred between the beta and release versions.

Finally, Take Control of Notes, version 1.5 (also by Josh Centers) serves as a complete guide to Apple’s increasingly powerful Notes app for Mac, iOS, iPadOS, and the web, and now includes coverage of Notes in iOS 15, iPadOS 15, and macOS 12 Monterey. Learn how to create, sync, import, search, organize, and password-protect your notes; format them (including the use of rich text, lists, and tables); add drawings, photos, videos, and other media as attachments; and share your notes with other people in a variety of ways. Version 1.5, released today, adds information on the newest features in Notes, such as tagging, @-mentions, and the Quick Note feature in macOS Monterey and iPadOS 15.
