Hidden iPhone features you might not know about. New Siri phrase. Improved password management
Not everyone knows about these functions!
iOS has many hidden or not-obvious-to-find functions. Apple itself is to blame for their secrecy, as it does not properly disclose all the useful features. In this article, we have collected 20 such hidden features. Each of them is really useful, but the main thing is that not all iPhone owners know about their existence.
1. Quickly deleting numbers in the “Calculator”
In the standard calculator on the iPhone, you can delete the last digits you typed. This is a very useful option that helps you avoid having to re-type numbers for any calculations. If you accidentally type the wrong number, simply swipe left or right on the number line. The extra digit will be deleted immediately.
2. Last number speed dial function
In the standard Phone application, there is a hidden feature that allows you to instantly call back the last contact you dialed. To do this, you just need to double-click the call button and your iPhone will immediately start calling the last outgoing number.
3. Fast continuous shooting
The Camera app has a ton of useful features that Apple doesn't make obvious about for some reason. One of the most useful of these features is burst shooting. It's extremely easy to use. Press and hold the shutter button. As long as you hold down the button, iPhone will take photos. Thus, it is best to photograph subjects in motion.
4. Instant currency conversion
iPhone users do not need additional applications to convert currencies at the current exchange rate. To transfer an amount from one currency to another, you just need to type the corresponding request in the Spotlight search, which opens by swiping down on the main screen.
5. Advanced features of the standard keyboard
The stock iOS keyboard has a whole set of additional symbols that are not displayed by default. For example, currency signs, quotation marks and even the letter e. To access them, you need to hold down the symbols that are open by default. Literally in a second a pop-up window will appear with a list of available symbols. Note that the symbols differ depending on which letter or symbol you press on.
6. Keep track of your steps without additional apps
Many iPhone users download or even buy special apps to track their steps. And not everyone knows that such a function is in the standard Health application (many do not open it at all). Moreover, the application counts steps very accurately, and also takes into account the ascent to floors! This last feature is not something most step counting apps on the App Store can boast of.
7. Improve Touch ID performance
The Touch ID fingerprint scanner on any iPhone can be significantly improved. To do this, you need to register several new prints of the same finger with which you are used to unlock your smartphone (for most people, this is the thumb of the right hand). In this case, it is necessary to register the fingerprint from slightly different angles each time. Thanks to this trick, Touch ID will be much better and more stable at detecting your fingerprint.
8. Scan documents in the Notes app
And another relatively hidden iOS feature could replace a separate app from the App Store. There's a great, easy-to-use document scanner built right into the Notes app. To use it, you need to create a new note, click on the “+” icon above the keyboard and select the “Scan documents” menu item that opens. After that, all that remains is to point the camera lens at the iPhone. The document will be automatically detected by the scanner, but you will have the opportunity to adjust the scanning accuracy.
9. Opening an Accidentally Closed Tab in Safari
If you accidentally closed a tab in Safari and want to quickly open it, there is a convenient way to do this. Go to the menu for viewing open pages and hold down the “+” button. In a second, a page will open on which all recently closed tabs will be collected. Thanks to this method, you don’t have to go into your history to reopen an accidentally closed tab.
10. Open a link in Safari in a new tab
A cool and useful trick in Safari that even many experienced users don't know. In order to open any link in a new tab, just click on it with two fingers of one hand at the same time. This Safari feature is a huge time saver.
11. Filters in the Photos app
It's a real mystery, but almost no one uses the filters offered in the Photos app. Or few people know about them. But right in the Photos application you can do full work on any photo and significantly improve it. Among the proposed tools there are filters that are familiar to everyone, which will improve your photo in one click.
12. Accelerated character set
If you want to type text that's mostly letters and only a couple of numbers or symbols, there's a cool trick that will make it faster. You don't need to waste time and switch to the symbol layout every time. In order to quickly type the desired character or number, you need to hold down the “123” button (which is responsible for opening the keyboard with symbols) and, without lifting your finger from the screen, move to the character you want to insert!
13. Return to the top in any application
We are sure that you have been in such a situation more than once when you scrolled through text or images for a long time in some application, for example, on a website. If you do this all the time, you will be glad to know that scrolling up to return to the header is not at all necessary. Just tap the clock on the top status bar and you'll automatically be taken back to the top.
14. Stop music or video with a timer
If you are used to listening to music or watching your favorite TV series before going to bed, you have certainly discovered more than once in the morning that there is no charge left on your iPhone because you fell asleep and did not turn off the music or video. The standard Clock application has a useful ability to set a timer to stop music or video playback. Set a timer and select Stop as the alert.
15. Quickly reschedule an alarm
We all love to sleep, and the iPhone makes it very difficult for most of us to do so in the morning. But in order not to oversleep, it is, of course, better not to turn off the alarm clock completely. And, for example, postpone it. This can be done not only by pressing a button on the screen. There is a much simpler way. You just need to press one of the volume buttons. One press and the alarm will immediately stop and be snooze for 9 minutes.
16. Level directly on iPhone
In the standard Compass application, which, of course, few people use, there is an additional “Level” tab. By switching to it, you have at your disposal a full-fledged level that can help, for example, hang a picture evenly. Note that the Compass function has been moved to new application "Roulette" .
17. Hiding private photos
18. Image enhancement
Every iPhone user can greatly improve their photos if they start paying attention to their exposure choices (). Right in the Camera app, tap the iPhone screen, then tap again and while holding your finger on the screen, swipe up or down. You will notice changes instantly - the scene will become lighter or darker. Most often, photos lack light, and with this method you can add light to a photo artificially.
19. Speed up Safari
In Safari settings there is one little-known parameter that speeds up opening a web page. Go to Settings → Safari → Add-ons → Experimental Features and check the Link Preload box. Thanks to this, the speed of mobile surfing will noticeably increase, since data from some sites will be loaded even before clicking.
20. Flash on notifications
A very old, and therefore forgotten by many users, function that makes the iPhone flash blink when there are incoming calls or notifications in silent mode. To enable it, go to Settings → General → Accessibility → Alert Flash and activate the option of the same name.
I chose this topic not by chance. I myself am an active user of Apple products, I have an iPad 3, by the way, on which I am now writing this article, and an iPhone 5s, the only thing missing for complete happiness is a MacBook. 😀

The capabilities of the iPhone are its main feature. Unlike other devices, all the functions of Apple smartphones are worked out in detail, and therefore work smoothly and flawlessly. Out of the box, the device has all the most necessary options that allow you to comfortably use the Internet, make calls, take photos/shoot videos, listen to music, watch videos.
But, oddly enough, the iPhone has quite a lot of non-obvious capabilities that not all owners of the gadget know about. The Ain resource offered 15 hidden gadget functions that allow you to save mobile traffic, charge your smartphone faster, and improve the performance of the fingerprint scanner. The post is intended for those who are interested in learning all the capabilities of the iPhone.
1. Close three programs at once
Need to close multiple applications? To avoid swiping up each card individually, you can use three fingers, then you can close three tasks at a time.
All iPhone users know that Control Center has quick access to the flashlight function. But not many people know that you can turn it off not only in the usual way, but also by launching the camera when the screen is locked.
3. Built-in level
Using a gyroscope, iPhone is able to determine when the surface it's lying on is perfectly horizontal or vertical. To use this feature, launch the stock Compass app and swipe to open the next screen.
4. Search messages, their time and color
In order to find a specific message, you can use a special search. A text entry field appears when you drag down the list of messages. To see the exact time a message was received or sent, pull the screen with them to the left - a line with the time will appear on the right. Also, if you are not aware, the blue background is for iMessage messages, and the green background is for simple SMS.
5. Underlined and bold text, italics
In some applications, the text formatting bar is immediately visible, but otherwise, users often don't know how to bring it up. After selecting the text to edit and calling up the copy/paste window, you will also find B I U settings that allow you to edit the formatting.
6. Go back quickly
Unlike Android devices, the iPhone does not have a separate back button. But in applications such as Settings, Mail, Messages, Safari, you can quickly return by swiping to the right. This option often works in third-party applications like Instagram.
7. Focus and Exposure Lock
When the camera is on, tapping the screen sets focus and exposure, but moving the iPhone resets those settings. To lock them at a specific point, tap and hold the screen until the exposure and focus lock notification appears.
8. Create different vibration alerts
Do you want to know about someone's call without even looking at the phone? In the contact settings there is an option to select and create a vibration for notification. In order to create a vibration type, select the desired person in your contacts and, by editing his data, create a new vibration signal. It will be created by pressing your fingers and can be an original way to highlight any of your contacts.
9. Saving mobile Internet traffic
If you're watching your cellular data usage and want to reduce your data usage, iOS has the option to turn off cellular data for individual apps. Find the “Cellular” item in the settings and below you will see switches for each application.
10. Increased battery life
Spotlight is, of course, a very useful feature that allows you to quickly get the information you need. But, in cases where battery power is more valuable, you can disable tracking of some data, since constant indexing of many indicators greatly drains the battery. The Spotlight menu can be found in the iPhone's general settings.
11. More emojis and symbols on your keyboard
In iOS 8.3, Apple added the ability to change the color of emoji and emotions. Also, when you see the iOS keyboard, do not forget that some of the letters or symbols may have different variations. In order to see extended versions, you need to select the desired emotion on the keyboard and hold your finger on it for a few seconds.
12. Improved Touch ID performance
While Touch ID already does a good job, there's one trick that will make your iPhone's fingerprint scanner work even better. In the Touch ID menu, create several “new fingerprints” by placing the same finger on the sensor each time. Two or three times will be enough.
13. Continuous shooting
Thanks to the iPhone's powerful processor, the camera allows you to take bursts of photos. Then you can select the most successful ones from a large number of frames. The mode is great for photos of sporting events, children, and special moments that you're afraid of being photographed poorly.
14. Charge iPhone faster
Sometimes, in a hurry, you need to charge your smartphone faster than usual. In this case, after connecting the charging cord, you should turn on “Airplane mode”.
15. Privacy protection
This feature will not only provide greater privacy, but also slightly extend the battery life. The fact is that the iPhone sends its location data to Apple. In order to disable this option, find the “System services” item in the privacy settings and disable surveillance.
About 40 non-obvious functions of a tablet iPad, judging by the reviews, the article turned out to be useful to many and even received a request to write something similar for iPhone. We listened to the request and prepared a selection of secret features of the iPhone and iOS 5.
Camera and Pictures
Want more from camera and picture apps? Then you definitely need to read this section to find out all the known and not so known details of these two functions of an iPhone based on iOS 5.
1. Use the volume up button as a shutter. Taking photos with your camera while holding your iPhone in one hand is a good way to avoid having to focus the image. With both hands, fix the phone in a horizontal position, and then put the finger of one hand on the volume up button and use it as a shutter - isn’t it convenient?
2. The same trick can be done with the volume control on your headphones. This is especially convenient if you are using a portable tripod for iPhone (for example,).
3. Creating a new photo album. If you feel like your photos section doesn't look as organized as you initially would like, go into the Photos app, click on the "Edit" function in the top right corner and click the "Create a new photo album" button that appears in the top left corner of the screen. Now all you have to do is come up with a name for it and add photos that you think are necessary.
4. Quickly view your photos. Want to see the most recent photo you took? Open the Camera app and slide your finger across the screen from left to right to see the photo you took last.
5. Photo by double click. If circumstances are such that you need to take a photo without unlocking your iPhone, press the “Home” button twice. You'll see a small camera icon next to the screen unlock slider. Click on it and you will enter shooting mode.
6. Photo editing. Does red eye ruin a good photo? iOS features can fix this. In the viewing mode of the required photo, click on the “Edit” button, and you will be presented with a whole set of image editing tools. It is not very extensive, but it is enough to correct gross flaws in the photograph.
Text and Mail
We all have to type something on our iPhone, whether it's a text message or an email. So why not make the process a little easier. Below are some tips on how to do this.
7. Expanding text. Have you ever typed the same word or phrase a million times? To save yourself from this, go to Settings, then to General, from there to Keyboard, then scroll down the list a little and you will see the “Abbreviations” section. Simply enter a phrase and define an abbreviation for it. The next time you enter text, type the abbreviation and it will be converted to the long equivalent. For example, you type “omw” and it expands into the phrase “on my way,” or you write “brb” and it automatically expands into the phrase “be right back.”
8. Emoticons. If you want to represent your emotions in a message in the form of yellow round faces - emoji - invented by the Japanese, add a virtual Emoji keyboard. To do this, go to Settings, then to General, then to the Keyboards section, where you activate the appropriate layout.
9. Special symbols. Are you typing a phrase in French and want the apostrophes above the letters to be placed according to the rules? Just hold down the required letter over which you want to place an apostrophe, and you will see the whole range of possible options for placing it.
10. Entering in CAPITAL LETTERS. If you're just crazy and want to emphasize it in your message, activate Caps Lock by double-tapping the corresponding keyboard icon. Enjoy!
11. Defining the meaning of a word. If you don't have the slightest idea about the meaning of that word in your favorite book on iBooks. Surprised that your friend used this word in his message? Don't be ashamed and look up its meaning in the iOS dictionary. To do this, simply select the word whose meaning you want to know and select the “define” function.
12. Mark the letter. If you're the kind of person who flags every message that comes into their inbox as important, make your OCD happy with the new quick flagging feature added to iOS 5. To do this, go to your Inbox, click the Edit button » and select the emails you want to mark. Then select the "Tag" tag in the lower right corner, and then select "Tag".
13. RTF text of the letter. Now the text of the letter can be highlighted in bold, italics or underlined. To do this, highlight the word or sentence you want to highlight, click the arrow in the menu, and then click B/U depending on the function you need.
14. Delivery reports in iMessage. iOS 5 brought us the iMessage app and a very convenient feature of notifications that come when the recipient of your message reads it. To enable this option, go to Settings, then go to the Messages section, where you activate the “Send read receipts” line.
Siri has changed the way we interact with our iPhone. This is one of the biggest innovations of the iPhone 4S. If you have this model, here are a few settings to help you handle your new assistant.
15. Do entries in your microblog using Siri. Imagine how cool it would be if you could dictate new tweets to Siri? And it's possible! However, you will have to work a little to enable this option. First, sending new tweets via SMS on the Twitter website. When you're done, add Twitter to your contacts list and use the service as if you were just sending a message to a regular subscriber. If Siri yells at you for using the word Twitter, simply change the caller's name to something else. Do the same with Facebook.
16. Activate Siri by holding your iPhone to your ear. Not everyone knows about this, but there is another way to activate Siri that does not require pressing the main button. Go to general settings, find the Siri section there, in which you need to activate the “Pick up to call” field. Now the photocell on your iPhone will detect when you put it to your ear and activate the voice assistant. This is a practical way to make sure that using Siri in a public place doesn't make you feel like an idiot.
One of the best things about the iPhone when it first came out was its very user-friendly web surfing interface, where users could see the full content of a page rather than mobile-optimized junk. If you want to get the most out of your iPhone browsing experience, here are some tips to make the experience more comfortable.
17. Private browsing. Want to make sure that information about your browsing activities isn't leaked online via Safari? There is an easy way to do this. Go to settings, there go to the “Safari” section and activate the option called “Private Browsing”. Now all your activity on the web is secret.
18. Reading list. If you don't use services like Read It Later or Instapaper, but still want to read the contents of a web page without banner ads, try using the Reader built into Safari for this purpose. Click on the Reader icon in the web address bar and the page will be reformatted into clean, easy-to-read text.
19. Return to top. Don't feel like scrolling down a long web page and then having to jump back to the URL bar? Just click on the top of the screen, where the clock is. Safari will return you to the address bar.
20. Saving images. If you find a picture or photo on the site that you don’t want to miss, or maybe you want to set it as wallpaper or an icon, hold your finger on the image for one or two seconds. A menu will pop up from the bottom of the screen where you will be asked to save the illustration or copy it. The image is saved in your Photo Library, where you can perform any operation with it.
Settings
There's a lot you can do in iOS just by fiddling around with the settings a little.
21. iOS update. The good thing about the settings is that you can use them to check whether your system needs an update. Go to General Settings, select the Software Settings option. There you can check whether you have the latest version of iOS or if it needs an update.
22. You've probably already configured notifications somehow, but in general setting up notifications applications is very flexible, with its help this function can be brought to perfection. To start setting up notifications, go to Settings and find the Notifications section there. In it, you can select the contents of the Notification Center, and also set the OS to what extent you want any application to notify you about something.
23. Custom vibration setting. One setting in iOS 5 that everyone forgets about is creating selective vibration. In general settings, you need to go to the "Accessibility" section and turn on the Custom vibration option in listening mode. Then go to the Sounds section in the settings. Scroll down and you'll see the Vibration Patterns line. Click on it, and now you can create a custom vibration yourself. Simply press your finger on the display and create the pattern you want by holding your finger down for as long as you want to stretch the note. Then you can use the resulting composition to call the subscriber, or for some system alerts.
24. Use your camera flash for reminders. The flash on the back of your iPhone isn't just for taking photos in the dark, it can also be used to signal notifications, just like on most BlackBerry smartphones. To activate the feature, go to general settings, find the “Universal Access” section, and turn the slider to turn on the flash during reminders.
25. Setting reminder sounds. Do you want your iPhone to sound like everyone else? We are sure not. To customize your unique sound, go to Sound Settings, where you can change the sound of everything from calendar reminders to Ringtone.
27. Fun with AirPlay. If you have an iPhone 4S, then iOS 5 added the ability to mirror your phone's screen contents to your TV using Apple TV. To activate the option, bring up the menu of running applications, then press right twice. Click on the AirPlay button and choose what you want to stream to your Apple TV. Now what happens on your iPhone screen is mirrored on your TV screen.
28. Change built-in reminder times. If you use Calendar apps, you know that some types of reminders are built into the system by default. You can change them by going to the “Mail, Contacts and Calendar” section in the settings, and there you need to find the “Default reminder time” option and configure it as you wish.

Go to Settings, there find the iCloud section, and in it - the line “Storage and backup”, and in it select “Buy more space”, and then select the increase level. You can also reduce the size of your storage if you don't think you need as much.

The emergence of the Apple Music service has significantly expanded the horizons of preferences for music lovers, but a number of extra tabs somewhat complicate interaction with the familiar program. You can remove tabs that you don’t need (provided that the service itself doesn’t interest you) using a few simple steps:
- Go to Settings > Music.
- Turn off the Show Apple Music slider.
- Go to Settings > General > Restrictions. Enter the set password.
- Disable the "Connect to Apple Music" option.
Surely there are situations when your phone freezes or simply “acts up” and refuses to work properly. Give your iPhone a little time out. To do this, hold down the “Home” and “On/off” buttons until the iPhone screen goes dark. This may take up to 10 seconds. Your phone will then restart and the Apple logo will appear on the screen.
