Hidden features of iPhone 6 plus. A Few Useful iPhone Features You Didn't Know About
Next month it will introduce the new operating system 9, the major release since the launch of the App Store, which will unlock new features and give developers the tools to create new applications. You shouldn't expect any fundamental changes in the design of the mobile platform: the appearance of iOS has changed radically in the seventh edition.
With each release, innovations appear that compensate for some of the functional inconveniences of the previous system. In anticipation of the release of the "nine", MacDigger publishes a selection of hidden features of the mobile platform, which not all users know about. The article will be of interest to both beginners who are just getting acquainted with the operating system and advanced users of iGadgets.
1. Custom vibration alerts
Some iOS features are so unique that they boggle the imagination. One of these functions relates to calls on smartphones, in particular, vibration alerts. The system allows you to create custom vibration patterns for incoming calls. To configure this function, you need to go to Settings -> Sounds -> Ringtones -> Vibrations -> Create vibration.
2. Voice-over of any texts
It is worth recognizing that thanks to books in audio format, reading literature has become much more convenient and easier. In fact, it’s not even so much reading as listening. The operating system, using standard tools, allows you to turn any text information on the screen into an audiobook, as a result of which you can listen to the text with a simple “swipe”, for example, on the way to work, in a car, subway or airplane. Read more about this here.
3. Disable tracking of frequently visited places
iOS collects information about where the iPhone owner goes most often. But, if earlier this data was not available to the users of smartphones and tablets themselves, then in the latest versions this is no longer the case. The gadget keeps a history of movements and demonstrates geographic coordinates and the time during which a person was in a given place. For example, he attended work 45 times from February 1, 2015, or on May 8 he was in the park of the Central Park of Culture and Culture from 20:15 to 22:54. You can find this information in the “Privacy” -> “Location Services” menu. How to disable the function, MacDigger wrote here.
4. Magnet and hidden features of iPhone
Last year, a developer discovered hidden capabilities in Apple smartphones. Using a magnetic bar, he learned to control a small object on the screen of a smartphone, which completely repeated the movements of a magnet located 20 centimeters from it. The experiment proved that the Apple phone is sensitive to the movements of the block not only in one plane, but also in space. The unusual abilities of Apple devices are demonstrated in a video on YouTube.
5. Control iPhone and iPad with head movements
In the Settings menu -> General -> Accessibility -> Switch Control -> Switches -> Object Selection there are special options that allow you to configure left and right head gestures to execute certain commands. For example, by tilting your head to the right, you can turn up or down the volume, and by making a gesture in the other direction, you can bring up the multitasking panel or return to the main screen. The menu is hidden far away in the operating system settings.
6. Hidden photo and video shooting
Sometimes situations arise when you need to take several photographs or record a video without anyone noticing. A wonderful feature of iOS will help solve this problem. Instructions for using the function can be found here.
7. Removing numbers in the calculator using swipes
In the Calculator app, you can delete the last digits you entered. This is done by simply swiping right or left across the field with symbols.
8. Black and white mode
A black and white interface mode has been added to the G8 settings. You can find the switch in the General menu -> Accessibility -> Grayscale.
9. Ability to hide photos
The Photos app and iCloud Photo Library give you access to all your photos and videos anytime, anywhere. Photos are easy to find and organized the same way across all devices. In addition, in the latest version of iOS, Photos allows you to hide photos - the selected photos will disappear from the Moments, Collections and Years views, but will be visible in the Albums section.
10. Filtering messages from unknown contacts
The latest release of the software platform has the ability to filter messages from unknown subscribers. The Messages application groups such messages into a separate section. You can learn how to use this iPhone feature in this article.
11. Spock gesture emoji
In the latest release of iOS, Apple has expanded the standard set of emoji. The emoji character keyboard has acquired more than 300 new icons. At the same time, support for emoticons has appeared, which are not yet presented directly on the keyboard. One of them is the “Live Long and Prosper” gesture, which was demonstrated by a character in the science fiction television series “Star Trek”. The OS supports the Vulcan salute icon - you just need to set up a keyboard shortcut to insert it.
12. Disable swipes in the Photos app
Sometimes it becomes necessary to limit the operation of some functions of the iPhone and iPad. For example, deny children access to certain websites or applications, hide contacts in your address book or hide recent calls from your other half. iOS provides such capabilities. One of the functions allows you to limit the ability to scroll through photos in the standard photo library. Relevant for situations when the user decides to show a photo to a friend, but does not want him to be able to view other photos. Find out how to set up this function here.
13. Hide any app from your home screen
Every time a new version of iOS is released, users find ways to use operating system errors to their advantage. This was the case, for example, with the Kiosk application in iOS 6 and folders in iOS 7. The iOS 8 platform was no exception. During testing, the developers discovered many bugs and shortcomings. Some of them migrated to the final assembly. One of the bugs in iOS 8 allows you to hide any applications, including system ones, from the screen using simple manipulations. All details at this link.
14. Add blank icons to your home screen
Previously, in order to add a blank icon to the iPhone or iPad home screen, users had to resort to jailbreaking and install specialized tweaks from Cydia. Not long ago, an easier way to achieve the same effect appeared.
15. Add folder to folder
Folders in iOS have no restrictions on the number of programs. You can add an unlimited number of icons to them. Although, after a certain point, this loses its meaning, since searching for applications in a folder will take as much time as scrolling through screens on the desktop. A feature of the springboard in iOS 8 allows you to add folders to folders using simple manipulations. MacDigger explained how to do this here.
16. Photo while shooting video
17. Download free apps without entering passwords
Apple has added an option to iOS that allows you to download free games and apps without confirming your Apple ID password. To make purchases in the App Store and iTunes, the user must enter passwords or place their finger on the Touch ID fingerprint scanner. If the device does not have a biometric sensor, the process of downloading applications is quite tedious. In iOS 8.3, it became possible to disable the mandatory confirmation of downloads with a code word in the case of free content - applications, music and books. The option becomes available if authorization using Touch ID is disabled on the device. It is located in the “iTunes Store, App Store” section.
18. Locate a lost iPhone even after it's completely drained
The iOS 8 platform has received a number of improvements in terms of Apple branded services. This also applies to Find My iPhone. Few people know, but the service for searching for missing and stolen devices has acquired a special “Last geoposition” mode. It allows iPhones and iPads to automatically send their location data before running out of juice. The corresponding switch is located in the iCloud menu –> Find iPhone.
19. Display accurate cellular signal strength
Owners of iPhone smartphones can, using standard operating system tools, find out the exact signal level in the operator’s mobile network. Moreover, for this it is not necessary to jailbreak your mobile device. The indicator shows the signal level in the range from -40 to -130. A value of -40 indicates the best reception. How to activate this mode, MacDigger wrote here.
20. Improve recognition accuracy of the Touch ID fingerprint scanner
Some users complain about the unstable operation of the fingerprint scanner built into the main button of the smartphone. iOS has a hidden ability to “train” Touch ID. The platform allows you to correct the entered finger biometric data without the need to rescan your fingerprints. You can find out more about this here.
1. Taking pictures without using the touch screen
Just call Siri with a long touch on the Home button and ask her to turn on the camera. To take a photo, press any volume button on your smartphone or headphones.
2. Emergency reboot
In those rare cases when the iPhone freezes or you need to free up the device's RAM, an emergency reboot will help. Just hold down the Home button and the Lock button for 10 seconds.
3. Triple press the Home button
Go to the "Accessibility" item in the main iPhone settings. Scroll down to the “Keyboard Shortcuts” tab - a list of functions will open in front of you. Triple-clicking the Home button launches VoiceOver, color inversion (useful for reading), some display settings, on-screen zoom, and Switch Control or AssistiveTouch.
To turn on the magnifying glass by triple-clicking the Home button, simply select the appropriate item in “Universal Access.”
4. Double tap the Home button sensor
Perhaps all iPhone users know that double-clicking the mechanical Home button opens the application selection window. But not everyone is aware that double tapping the button sensor “lowers” the screen a little, allowing owners of large smartphones to easily reach the top icons.
5. Using 3D Touch
If you have an iPhone 6s or later, using 3D Touch can make your life a lot easier and save time. This technology will speed up movement between applications, make typing more convenient and...
6. Reassigning volume buttons
The iPhone has two volume settings: the first is for calls and notifications, the second is for music and applications. Turning off the “Change with buttons” toggle switch in the sound settings will fix the ringer volume in its current position and transfer control of music and applications exclusively to the side buttons.
Work with text
7. Undo last action
Just shake your smartphone, and iOS will offer to undo the last action, be it typing, pasting or, conversely, deleting text.
8. Quickly enter a domain
In cases where the keyboard prompts you to quickly enter domain.com, hold your finger on this button. A list of popular domains will open in front of you, where you can quickly switch to cherished.ru.
9. Removing the microphone icon from the keyboard
The microphone icon between the space bar and the language change button is intended for voice text input. You can remove the icon by moving the “Enable dictation” slider to the inactive position in the keyboard settings.
10. Listening to the text
iOS supports Screen Speak. To enable it, activate the slider in the speech settings: “Settings” → “General” → “Universal Access”. To make iPhone speak text on the screen, swipe down with two fingers in any app.
Safety
11. Create a letter password for unlocking
If you don't trust four- or six-digit passwords and don't like Touch ID technology, you can set a long one.
Go to the password code settings and select “Change password code”. The system will require you to enter the old combination first, and then the new one. On the screen for entering a new password, click on “Passcode Options” and select an acceptable option.
12. Improve Touch ID accuracy
To help iPhone recognize you more confidently and quickly, create multiple prints of the same finger.
13. Create hidden photos
If you take photos in the standard camera application, they will be saved in the library. To protect a photo with a password, you need to resort to a trick. Turn off photo exporting and set a password in the Notes app settings. To take a secret photo, go to create a new note and tap on the camera icon. Once the photo is taken, click on "Export" and select "Lock Note."
14. Guided access
We often give our smartphone into the wrong hands to “pass a level in a game,” “read an article,” or “watch a video on YouTube.” If you don't trust who will be using your iPhone, turn on Guided Access in Settings: General → Accessibility → Guided Access.
When handing over an iPhone to someone, triple-click the Home button to turn on Guided Access, and the person will only be able to use the open app.
Siri
15. “Whose iPhone is this?”
If you find a lost iPhone, Siri can help you contact its owner without entering a password. Ask her “Whose iPhone is this?” or “Who owns this iPhone?”, and a window will open in front of you with the name of the owner of the gadget.
So that the person who finds your iPhone can find you in this way, go to Siri settings and in the “Data” tab, assign a contact with information about yourself.
16. Male Siri voice
Not everyone knows, but our faithful electronic assistant can speak in a pleasant male voice. This option is available in Siri settings.
Calls
17. Calling the last number dialed
To repeat the last call, it is not necessary to go to the “Recent” tab. Click on the green handset on the screen with keys, and the iPhone will offer to call back the last number dialed.
18. Quick access to favorite contacts
To quickly dial important numbers, add them to the Favorites tab in the standard Phone application. Swipe right on the desktop to go to the widget panel. Scroll down and click “Edit”, and then tap on the plus sign next to the “Favorites” widget. Now you can call your loved ones faster and even when the screen is locked.
19. Detection of an incoming call in headphones
Answering calls using headphones is sometimes much easier than reaching for your phone. To find out who is calling you without taking your iPhone out of your pocket, turn on the “Call Announcements” toggle switch in your phone settings.
Messages
20. Deleting old messages
Deleting irrelevant messages will help bring order to your correspondence and free up precious megabytes of memory. Find the “Leave messages” item in the settings and set the required time after which the messages will be deleted.
21. Saving traffic in “Messages”
To avoid wasting traffic on heavy attachments, turn on low quality mode in your message settings.
22. Time of sending messages
One of the non-obvious functions of “Messages” is viewing the exact time of sending. Just swipe from the right side of the screen.
Alarm
23. Setting up a call from Apple Music
The ability to set your favorite song as an alarm is not a trick, but a basic iPhone feature that many people don't know about. When creating a new alarm, click on the Sound tab. Rewind the list to the very beginning, before the standard ringtones, find a panel with familiar names and click on “Select song”.
24. Snooze alarm
To reschedule the alarm to a later time, you don’t have to look for the corresponding button on the screen. Press any side button and iPhone wakes you up again in nine minutes.
This interval was not chosen by chance: old mechanical alarm clocks could not count exactly 600 seconds. They did not take into account the current minute and began counting nine minutes from the next one.
Safari
25. Search by word on a page
Enter the desired word in the address bar. In the drop-down menu under the search engine suggestions, select “On this page.”
26. Recently closed tabs
Go to the screen that shows previews of open pages and hold your finger on the “+” button. A list of recently closed tabs will open in front of you. This is useful if you accidentally closed a long-open page that is difficult to find in your browser history.
27. Convert a Safari page to a PDF file
28. Opening links in the background
Other basic applications and services
29. Spotlight as a converter
Swiping down on any iPhone screen opens Spotlight. Its use significantly reduces the time spent searching for something on a smartphone. Spotlight provides results from many applications: it will help you find the desired episode of a podcast, a message by keyword, or a person on Twitter. Also, a standard search engine can act as a converter. Just search for "1 usd" or "15 inches in cm".
30. Convert slow motion video to regular video
If you've been playing around with the slow motion function and accidentally shot something in slow motion that would look better at natural speed, it's easy to bring the video to the original tempo without additional applications. Open the video editing section and adjust the values on the speed bar. This strip is located above the timing field, where we usually cut the videos.
Level 31
The compass in the basic application is practically useless in the city. But if you swipe the screen to the left, you can get a level - an indispensable device for repair and installation.
32. Optimizing Apple Music storage
Turn on Storage Optimization in Music Settings and iPhone will automatically delete songs you rarely listen to. This will only happen when the device’s memory runs out.
To set the minimum amount of music that will not be deleted from iPhone, you can set the storage size.
33. Geolocation reminders
Task managers in the App Store offer a lot of functions, but standard “Reminders” are also capable of a lot. For example, a basic application can remind you to buy milk not only at 15:00, but also when you visit the store. To enable this function, select “Remind me by location” and find the desired geolocation in the task settings.
Battery
34. Turn on power saving mode
If your iPhone has more than 20% charge left, but the nearest outlet is still very far away, it makes sense to switch to power saving mode. To enable the mode, just ask Siri about it or find the corresponding item in the battery settings. In these settings, you can also find a list of the most energy-consuming applications and close them in a timely manner.
35. Silent charging connection
You can avoid vibration when connecting the charger to your iPhone by opening the Camera app before connecting the Lightning cable. The device will begin to charge, and your light-sleeping relatives will not be awakened by a sudden sound.
The new iPhone has many new features and capabilities. Here are ten of our favorite tricks for the new iPhone SE!
Use "Hey Siri" without unlocking.
Siri has always been a useful companion on the iPhone, but it's got a few new tricks lately. One of the best additions is hands-free mode, allowing you to ask her questions without even unlocking your iPhone. Enable this new feature in Settings > General > Siri > Allow "Hey Siri". You need to set up Siri by repeating this phrase several times and then it will work.
Live Photos Live Photos are kind of like magical photos from Harry Potter. Whenever you take a photo with this mode enabled, you will get a few seconds of video before and after the photo was taken. It's pretty amazing, but it can also use up a lot of extra storage space (and the iPhone SE only starts at 16GB). You can disable this feature by tapping the icon (three circles) in the top center of the camera app; yellow means it is on and white means it is off.
Night Shift is a brilliant new addition to iOS 9. Once enabled, it will shift the display's color temperature throughout the day, making things look warmer in the evening (more yellow, less blue). Scientific research has proven that this will make it easier for you to go to bed in the evening while avoiding exposure to bright blue light. You can enable this in Settings > Display & Brightness > Night Shift
Unfortunately, this function does not work in Russia yet, but if you often travel abroad, know that Apple Pay works in the iPhone SE, thanks to the NFC chip and fingerprint reader. You can use the service to pay for all types of goods and services, both in the real world (for example, shops and the subway) and on your iPhone (when ordering from ASOS, for example). It's an easy-to-use payment method that's worth trying.
One of the lesser-known additions to iOS 9 was Medical ID. The idea is that even if you are unable to speak, the rescuer will be able to see information such as date of birth, blood type, allergies and emergency contact number. It's worth setting this up once if you end up needing it.
Low Power Mode is a new addition to iOS, offering a way to extend the life of your battery. Your iPhone SE will prompt you to enable the mode at 20% and 10% battery, but you can enable it earlier if you want in Settings > Battery. The mode disables syncing and some visual effects, and turns the battery icon yellow to let you know power saving mode is on.
The iPhone SE comes with some nifty animated backgrounds created from thousands of high-resolution photos. You can find them in Settings>Wallpaper>Choose new wallpaper>Dynamic.
The new battery consumption section in the settings menu is really useful as it shows a large list of how much battery each app is consuming. If you are looking for the reason why your iPhone is not working as long as before, you just might find it here. Once you've identified power-hungry apps, you can remove them or limit their operation.
The iPhone is known to be a very useful thing, but it has hidden functions that many people are not even aware of. For example, not every owner of an Apple gadget knows that his phone contains a map of all the places he has visited, or that he can control the screen by turning his head.

However, it can be activated even if the smartphone is fully charged. To do this you need to go to the application " Settings" and select the section " Battery" When the power saving mode is turned on, the battery level indicator turns yellow.
To save battery, non-essential features such as background app updates, Siri and some resource-intensive video effects are disabled.
Power saving mode turns off automatically when the device reaches 80% charge.

24. Taking a photo using headphones
When shooting a scene with the front camera of a smartphone, it is quite difficult to take an even photo, and even so that your hand does not fit into the frame. In such a situation, an Apple headset will help perfectly. The Apple headphone cable has buttons that you can use to take self-portraits. Press the volume up button in camera mode or the middle button (Start/Pause) in video recording mode.
25. Quickly scroll back to the top of pages
In any iOS application, to instantly get to the very top of the page, you need to click on the top header bar (where information about the operator, time and battery charge is).
If you know of any other interesting things that the iPhone can do, write in the comments.
