12. Take a screenshot
This is useful taking photos of websites, texts, or a funny moment you want to keep. Just hold the home button down and the on/off button at the top right corner at the same time. The screen shot will be saved in your camera roll. Works on an iPad too.
13. Hey Siri
If you’re adamant of using Siri then this feature will help you command Siri by simply saying, “Hey Siri.” You’ll no longer have to press and hold the home button to bring up the automated voice. It’s a great feature to use when driving. To enable go into Settings >General >Siri > then turn on Allow “Hey Siri.”
14. Tap to go back to the top
Just scrolled down a really long list in notes or a whole ton of emails? You can tap at the very top of the iPhone’s screen to go straight back to the top. This works in most iPhone apps.
15. Teach to pronounce a word
You can teach Siri how to properly pronounce words by saying, “That’s not how you pronounce” and she will then give alternatives for you to choose the correct one.
16. Detailed Calendar view
Turn your phone horizontally when in your calendar app to see a more detailed view of your appointments.
17. If you want to listen to music or audio books before you go to sleep, set a timer so it turns off.
Launch your Clock app with a tap, and then tap on the Timer button in the lower right. Once there, set the timer for however long you want your media to play. Next, tap “When Timer Ends,” and scroll down to the bottom. Tap on “Stop Playing.” Now, when your music will stop playing when the timer runs out.
18. Grayscale Mode
If your battery is running low you might want to consider changing your display settings to grayscale. Or if you want your phone screen to look cool just invert the colors. To change the display go to Settings >General >Accessibility >then turn on Grayscale or Invert Colors.
19. Automatically turn off your music with the timer
If you like to doze off with music playing like I do, you can use the timer to automatically turn your music off so that it doesn’t play all night. In the timer app, select “When Timer Ends,” then scroll down and select “Stop Playing.” The Timer will automatically turn off your tunes after whatever length of time you set.
20. Double tap caps lock button for keeping caps lock on
This is so simple to do, yet totally changed my ability to CONVEY HOW EXCITED OR MAD I WAS to my friends without having to hit the shift arrow every time.
NB: If this isn’t working for you, go to Settings>General>Keyboard and make sure Caps Lock is enabled.
21. You can control the scrubbing rate of video and audio by moving your finger down the screen as your scrub through it.
When you navigate in a video you drag the playhead horizontally to the right or the left to go forward or backward. While doing this you will see a message that will allow you to adjust the scrubbing rate.
22. Calculator Swipe
If you ever type an extra number into your calculator you no longer have to clear the whole equation, you can just swipe from left to right (or right to left) and the last number inserted will be deleted.
23. Get your iPhone’s flash to blink when you get a message
If you find that the vibration or sound that your phone makes when you get a message is not always enough to attract your attention, there’s another element that you can add to the alert – light. By going to Settings > General > Accessibility and scrolling down to the ‘Hearing’ section (this feature is designed for people with hearing impairments), you can turn on ‘LED Flash for Alerts’. Now every time you get a notification, the flash next to your iPhone’s rear-facing camera will blink.
