Use iMessage To Send & Receive Messages
It comes as a super saver to send and receive messages on your Mac, specifically if you are away from your iPhone or you don’t have access. Sometimes while traveling, messaging seems the more viable option than calling. And that’s exactly where iMessages come into play.
Yeah, provided the other person you are messaging is using an Apple device too.
The best thing is that you can give a reaction to iMessages, send images through iMessage, use emojis, free handwritten messages, and more. This hack can save you from being online on other social media platforms to share images or information.
Edit and Tweak Images
Images help you relive the moments. Use the macOS app, Preview. It can help you convert image files to a variety of other file types, including PNG, JPEG, TIFF, and PSD. When you receive a photo from other sources that you can not open in the photo editing app, you can use Preview there.
It will help you convert the received image to a file type you can use. Of course, it can make things simpler for you.
Or, if you use a MacBook, you can use the mac record screen gif feature to create gifs of the memorable instances you had on the trip.

If you wish not to receive any disturbing and useless notifications, you can easily disable the notifications on your Mac. all you have to do is:
- Press and hold the Option button
- Choose the Notification Centre icon from the Menu Bar. This will shade itself out with DND (do not disturb) turned on.
You are all set! This ‘do not disturb’ mode can help keep the annoying distractions away.
Implementing these tricks can save you time that you can further utilize to enjoy your trip or vacation with your loved ones.
Happy Traveling!
