Phones are capable of so much these days so it’s no wonder we don’t know everything they can do. Here is a list of fun things that you may know have known your iPhone was capable of:
- You can charge your phone faster by switching it onto aeroplane mode.
- Start a new sentence by just double-tapping the spacebar. It will provide a full stop and start you on a new sentence.
- To undo a mistake when texting or writing an email, simply shake your phone and it will give you an option to ‘undo’.
- Take a photo using the volume buttons on the side of your iPhone when the camera app is open.
- To take a series of rapid photos, hold down the capture button and it will automatically put your phone into burst mode.
- Turn your iPhone into a level by swiping to the left when in the compass app.
- Lock the autofocus and steady the shot when taking photos by pressing and holding your finger on the screen until a yellow square appears with the letters “AE/AF”.
- Use lights instead of noises when receiving notifications. Go to Settings – General – Accessibility and then select “LED Flash for Alerts”
- Make your passcode with letters instead of numbers. Go to Settings – General – Passcode lock. Turn the off “Simple Passcode” setting. You will then be able to change your passcode to letters.
- Siri can read out your new email if you tell her to “Read my email”. You can also get her to “read my latest email” or ask “Do I have email from (person)?”.
