Your iPhone has many interesting features. Check out the article below by Tintuconline to learn more about these features and maximize the potential of your beloved device!
Shake to Undo
If you make a typo or make a mistake while editing a photo, simply shake your iPhone and it will immediately ask if you want to Undo.
Faster Charging with Airplane Mode
Switching to airplane mode will turn off Wi-Fi and 3G, 4G, reducing battery consumption and allowing your iPhone to charge faster.
Auto-stop Music
If you tend to fall asleep while listening to music, this trick is extremely useful. In the Timer app, select “When Timer Ends”, scroll down and choose “Stop Playing”. The app will automatically stop the music after the set time.
Adjust the Playback Speed
This trick is useful when you need to fast forward or rewind a video or song. The default speed when fast forwarding is quite fast, making it difficult to find the exact part you need. You can customize the playback speed by holding the circular point on the slider, then sliding your finger down to select a slower speed, such as half or a quarter. After selecting, be sure to keep dragging left or right to continue the fast forward or rewind.
Take Photos with the Volume Button
You can easily take photos by pressing the volume up or volume down button on the side of your phone.
Burst Mode
When you hold the Capture button on the touchscreen, your iPhone will automatically take a series of consecutive photos. This feature is extremely useful when capturing a moving object. After you finish, you can review all the photos and choose the clearest one.
View Message Timestamps
Swipe the message bubbles to the left to display the sent timestamps.
End Sentences with the Spacebar
While typing, double-tap the spacebar and your iPhone will automatically add a period at the end of the sentence. This allows you to type faster.
View Calendar in Landscape Mode
When in the Calendar app, switch to landscape mode and you will have a more detailed view of your schedule.
Lock Focus and Exposure When Taking Photos
When taking photos, your iPhone automatically adjusts focus and exposure, which can be annoying. To fix this, simply hold your finger on the screen until a yellow square flashes twice. The yellow icon labeled “AE/AF Lock” indicates that auto focus and exposure have been locked. The camera will not automatically adjust anymore until you take the photo.
Add Web Addresses Quickly
After typing a web address, simply press and hold the “.” key at the end of the keyboard, and you will see a list of commonly used web suffixes (.com, .net, .edu).
Customize Vibration Mode
This trick allows you to customize the phone’s vibration. Go to Settings > Sounds > Ringtone > Vibration > Create New Vibration. You can adjust different vibration patterns for different types of notifications, and you can do the same in the contact list. This way, even when your phone is on vibrate mode, you can still know who is calling or messaging.
Create a Passcode with Letters and Numbers
By default, iPhone allows you to use numbers as the passcode. You can change this by going to Settings > General > Passcode Lock and turning off “Simple Password”. Your phone will ask you to enter the passcode again, but the full keyboard will appear instead of just numbers. From now on, this keyboard will appear every time you unlock your phone.
Reopen Recently Closed Tabs in Safari
If you accidentally close a tab while browsing the web in Safari, there’s no need to panic. Simply press the tab button (stacked square icon) and hold the + button, and you will see a list of recently closed tabs that you can reopen.
Adjust Flashlight for Calls and Messages
Instead of having your phone vibrate or ring for calls or messages, you can set your iPhone’s flashlight to flash. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility, scroll down, and turn on “LED Flash for Alerts”. Be aware that it can be very bright!
Measure Height with iPhone
To measure someone’s height with your iPhone, first, open the Measure app. Then, make sure you can see the person’s entire body, from head to toe. As you do this, you will see a line appear right above their head. This will tell you how tall they are. After that, you can take a screenshot using the white capture button on the right side.
Type Faster with Shortcuts
Similar to Auto Replace in Word, you can customize shortcuts for commonly used phrases to appear in full. For example, you can set “ko” to become “không” or “đg” to become “đường”. Go to Settings > General > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Add New Shortcut, enter the shortcut phrase and the full phrase. From now on, every time you type the shortcut, the entire phrase will appear.
Use the Keyboard as a Trackpad
This is a great trick on the iPhone that allows you to select text and move the cursor around much more easily. All you have to do is press and hold the spacebar and then you can use the bottom of the iPhone screen as a trackpad. This trick is especially useful for people with large fingers who have difficulty selecting words in text.
