Apple is famous for hiding many useful features in small corners of iOS. That makes the interface simple but requires users to explore more to make the most of the device's power.
Here are some small but useful tips that can make the iPhone experience much smarter and more convenient.
1. Back Tap feature: press on the back of the device to execute commands
This is one of the features that few people notice even though it has been integrated by Apple since iOS 14. Users can set it so that when typing the back of the iPhone twice or three times, the device will perform one operation such as taking a screenshot, locking the device, opening the application or activating Siri. To activate, go to Settings > Support > across > touch the back.
2. Scanning text directly with a camera from any application
Another convenient tip is the ability to scan and copy text with a camera without the need for third-party software. Just open the keyboard in any application, select a small camera icon that appears in the text entry box, users can "taken" and immediately paste content from books and printed documents.
3. Customize the Control Center
Many long-time users still let the Center control by default without knowing that it can be customized according to personal needs. Adding shortcuts such as Screenshot, Music Control, Computer... saves significantly on operating time.
4. Hiding private photos in the photo app
Instead of installing an additional security app, the iPhone has a photo Hiding feature in the "n" section of the Photos app. From iOS 16 onwards, this section will also be locked with Face ID or device unlocking code, adding privacy to users.
The above tips are just the tip of the " iceberg". Even if you are a long-time iPhone user, just a small step can completely change the way you use your phone every day.
