**Title: “Family Tech Support: Now Available via FaceTime (and a Little Bit of Blackmail)”**
In a groundbreaking move that has left tech-savvy grandmas and confused uncles alike scratching their heads, Apple has announced a new feature allowing you to remotely take control of your family’s screens via FaceTime. Yes, you read that right! Now, instead of just yelling “Have you tried turning it off and on again?” from the comfort of your couch, you can actually do it for them—while wearing pajamas, of course.
“Honestly, I thought it was a prank when my son, Timmy, called me and said he was ‘taking control’ of my laptop,” said 78-year-old Gladys McFiddlesticks. “But then I saw him scrolling through my Facebook, and I knew it was real. I haven’t seen that many cat memes since 2015!”
The feature has sparked a wave of excitement among tech-savvy family members who have long been frustrated by their relatives’ inability to locate the “any” key. “I can finally help my mom with her online shopping without having to drive 30 minutes to her house,” said 32-year-old Chad “The Tech Whisperer” Johnson. “Now, I can just take control and make sure she doesn’t accidentally buy 50 pounds of cat litter again.”
However, not everyone is thrilled about this new development. “I thought I was just FaceTiming my daughter, but suddenly she was scrolling through my emails,” lamented 65-year-old Harold “I Still Use a Flip Phone” Jenkins. “I’m pretty sure she just sent a ‘Happy Birthday’ email to my boss. I’m going to need a new job.”
Critics of the feature argue that it could lead to a slippery slope of family members taking control of each other’s screens for nefarious purposes. “What’s next? My brother using it to change my Netflix password to ‘I Love Cats 123’?” asked 29-year-old Lisa “The Family Spy” Thompson. “I can’t let that happen!”
In response to the backlash, Apple has assured users that they can disable the feature at any time—right after they’ve finished watching their family members struggle to find the ‘X’ button on a pop-up ad. As one anonymous source put it, “It’s like watching a nature documentary, but instead of lions, it’s just Aunt Karen trying to figure out how to unmute herself.”
So, grab your iPhone, prepare your best tech support voice, and get ready to dive into the chaotic world of remote family assistance. Just remember: with great power comes great responsibility—and possibly a few awkward family dinners.
