In this article, we are going to talk about the 6 deeply hidden features of iPhone which you should know. Please note that tips may vary from the different model of iPhone with the different version of iOS running on it.

Longer battery life is what many iPhone users wish for.
One of the main reasons for the short battery life is due to apps running in the background.

Go to Settings – General – Spotlight Search and you can limit what is pulling in the data in the background.
Check signal strength
Is there anything worse than being desperate to send that text but your signal is poor or being in the middle of a phone call and the connection breaks?
Well, now you can find out where the best place for a strong signal is where ever you are.
Type *3001#12345#* into your phone’s dialing keypad and press call.
This then will launch a hidden Field Test tool.
At the top on the left-hand side, you will then see a ‘-’ sign followed by a number. It is the number which indicates if you have good signal where you are.
A score of -50 is what you are aiming for, with -120 being pretty poor.
