As I always say, iPhone is one of the best mobile device available in the market currently and the combination of hardware and iOS make it possible.
But, as we all know that all the features of iPhone are not showcased upfront, some of them are hidden deeply in the settings. Today in the article we are going to talk about the 7 deeply hidden features of iPhone.
Close three apps at once
Need to force-close multiple apps fast? At the risk of looking like you're clawing at your phone, you can close up to three apps at once by swiping up with three fingers.
Quickly shut off the flashlight
Included in iOS's Control Center is access to a flashlight. Once enabled, you can quickly shut it off by using the camera shortcut from the lock screen.
Use bold, italics and underlining
In some apps like Mail, you can use rich formatting to make text bold, italics, or underlined. But if you don't know it exists, you might miss it.
Just highlight the text you want to edit, and tap the arrow in the copy/paste pop-up. Then, choose “B I U” to access the formatting options.
Quickly ‘go back'
Unlike Android, the iPhone doesn't have a dedicated “back” button. But, a little-known gesture makes that completely acceptable.
In Messages, Mail and even Safari, simply swipe right from the edge of the screen to go to the previous window. The gesture even works in some third-party apps like Instagram.
Lock focus and exposure
When the camera is active, tapping the screen sets the focus and exposure for that object. But, the moment the camera moves, these settings are lost.
To lock the focus and exposure, tap and hold until you see a yellow bar appear at the top of the screen, Even if you change your composition, the focus and exposure will be unaffected.
Create custom vibration alerts
Want to know if your best friend is calling without ever looking at the phone? Buried in the contact settings, a fun option lets you create custom vibration patterns for your contacts.
To do it, go to Contacts, choose a contact, and tap Edit in the upper-right corner.
Then, scroll down and navigate to Vibration > Create New Vibration. In the interactive screen, tap and hold to create a pattern, using long presses for long vibration notes, and so on.
Find out what the locals use
When you're traveling, it's a good idea to find out which apps the locals love most — especially public transportation apps.
To see what locals are downloading, go to the App Store and tap the Explore button, then select Popular Near Me.
