User Tips are informative tips and tricks created and maintained by community members to help others with their Apple products. When you get to Level 5 in the community, you can write new User Tips. If you’ve repeated the same bit of information in various replies to other members’ questions, it might be good content for a User Tip.
Community members can comment on the User Tips that you write. And you’ll receive 10 points the first time someone likes your User Tip.
