5 Fatal iOS Errors That Kill Professionalism
Error #1: Using Chrome iOS for PWA (Doesn't Work)
Open PromptNinja in Chrome iOS. Try "Add to Home Screen"... option disabled. Chrome iOS = just Safari wrapper WITHOUT PWA support.✅ Solution: USE SAFARI. Only iOS browser with real PWA. Chrome/Firefox iOS = limited by Apple.
Error #2: iPad Too Far from Camera (Looking Sideways)
iPad 3 feet to the LEFT of DSLR mirrorless. You record looking 60º sideways. Looks like awkward interview where you never look at interviewer.✅ Solution: iPad DIRECTLY below or behind lens. Maximum 6 inches distance. Eyes read = appear to look at camera.
Error #3: Low Screen Brightness (Reflection in Glasses Disappears)
iPad brightness 30% to "save battery during recording". Text barely visible. You bring face close = bad posture. Or increase font = giant obvious text.✅ Solution: Brightness 80-100% during recording. iPad plugged in (don't depend on battery). Visible text = natural posture.
Error #4: Ignoring "Do Not Disturb" Mode (Notification Mid-Record)
Perfect 5min take. WhatsApp notification COVERS text. You stop, lose line, re-record everything. 5min wasted.✅ Solution: ALWAYS activate "Do Not Disturb" before recording (Control Center → Moon). Or use Focus Mode "Recording".
Error #5: Forgetting Safari Goes Back to Previous Tab (Loses Position)
Recording. Safari has PromptNinja open. You accidentally swipe back to Google. When you return to PromptNinja... text reset to beginning. Lost position.✅ Solution: Use PWA (Add to Home Screen) = opens in dedicated app, NEVER mixes with Safari tabs. Or lock screen (Guided Access).
