Here’s the latest edition of the Rich On Tech Newsletter!

Bill in Los Angeles is worried about a virus on his iPhone. Rich explains it’s most likely notification spam, not an actual virus. To clean things up: clear your browser history, delete any apps you don’t recognize or no longer use, and head into Settings > Privacy & Security to review which apps have access to your location, camera, microphone, and more.

Rich mentioned the app iVerify Basic, which can scan your iPhone or Android for any signs of spyware.

Cathy in Chicago wants to know Rich’s favorite to-do app on Android. Rich’s pick is Microsoft To Do, because it gives you a fresh start each day.

Dennis in Marina Del Rey wants a backup battery for power outages, specifically one that runs on regular AA batteries. Rich found an option on Amazon that fits the bill, and also recommends stepping up to a portable power station from brands like EcoFlow, Jackery, or Goal Zero, which can also be paired with solar panels for off-grid charging.

Uber now lets you book hotels directly in the app, and Uber One members can score some solid discounts and credits when they do.

Chime in Sherman Oaks is blind and voices his concern that not every streaming app has strong accessibility features built in.

Bill in Little Rock wants to know if it’s safe to click links in text messages.

Fubo has added Spectrum SportsNet LA for the 2026 season, meaning subscribers can now watch Dodgers games through the service.

Airlines are cracking down on portable chargers. Here’s what you need to know.

Barbara in Topanga is looking for music software that lets her write with an Apple Pencil. Rich recommends checking out StaffPad, Fender Notion, and forScore.

Jimmy Dohenny from SimplyCodes reveals how to find the best online deals, avoid bad coupon codes, and shop smarter year-round.

Rich mentioned the Hooray for Baldywood newsletter as a great resource for movie suggestions.

Microsoft says you may not need third-party antivirus anymore. What’s already built into Windows is probably enough to keep you protected.

Debbie in Wisconsin wants to know if she can retrieve deleted or expired voicemails. Rich recommends opening the Visual Voicemail app to see if they’re still there, and using the share icon to save them to yourself before they disappear. If you want longer retention going forward, consider signing up for a third-party service like YouMail or Google Voice.

Rich mentioned some helpful new apps and websites: Dual Shot Recorder, Gradient Weather, Memo AI, Alpenglow, US National Parkfinder, Clove, NASA Your Name in Landsat, and Blank Page.

JubileeTV CEO Ashish Aggarwal explains how your TV can become a simple, powerful tool to monitor, connect with, and care for aging loved ones at home.
