Top iPhone Tips & Tricks to Hacks and Secrets
I am sure you will find some very
basic stuff and some really awesome stuff that you didn’t know so far. So do
share this with your friends that have an iPhone or iPad and ask them how many
did they knew.
I would consider you a pro/geek if
have known more than fifty percent of these tips and tricks.
1. Undo Type
If you are typing a message to
someone and you don’t want to press the backspace key until you’ve deleted
every single letter, you can just shake your phone and it will delete the whole
message. If you want to redo typing then all you have to do is shake
again.
2. iPhone keyboard tip
You’ve probably been using your
iPhone’s keyboard for ages without realizing that it’s actually easier than you
thought to add symbols to your messages. Instead of tapping once on the 123
button and then again on the ABC button when you’re done, you can tap and hold
the 123 button, then slide your finger to select the symbol you want to insert.
Once it’s been added, your keyboard will automatically revert back to the
letters keyboard.
3. Double Tap for a period
Double-tapping the spacebar will
automatically end the sentence with a period and start a new one for you.
4. Recharge your battery faster by switching to airplane mode
Switching to airplane mode turns off
battery-draining wireless and cellular access, allowing your phone to recharge
up to twice as fast.
5. Make a passcode with letters instead of numbers
1. Go to Settings > General >
Passcode Lock.
2. Turn off the setting that says “Simple Passcode.”
3. A screen will appear prompting you to change your passcode, along with a full QWERTY keyboard. The next time you unlock your phone, the keyboard will appear instead of just the number pad.

6. Find Airplanes above you
Find out what airplanes are flying
above you. Just say “what flights are overhead.”
7. Auto Location Detection
Smartphones are very good at giving
away your location. You can turn off your auto location by going into Settings
>Privacy >Location Services and control what apps you want to authorize
to share your location. Otherwise, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and every other
app will disclose your whereabouts.
8. iPhone keyboard tips
That’s not all! There are many
additional symbols hidden within your keyboard that you may never have
discovered. Tap the 123 button to go to the numbers and symbols keyboard, then
tap and hold a symbol such as the pound sign to find other currencies.
9. Volume button to take photos
As long as the camera app is open,
you can use the volume buttons to take a photos.
10. Read my email to Siri
Just say the magic words “Read my
email” and Siri will read all your messages aloud to you. If you like, you can
tell her to read only your most recent email (“Read my latest email”) or just
those from a specific contact (“Do I have email from Mark?”).
11. See timestamp on iPhone text
For a while, the fact that I
couldn’t see when my iMessages were sent drove me crazy. Turns out there’s a
stupidly easy way to view timestamps of your messages in iOS 7: touch and drag
message bubbles to the left.
