You could be unaware of the iPhone’s true strength and feature richness, even if you use it on a daily basis. Actually, you probably aren’t aware of the few tricks your iPhone has up its sleeve. We wanted to give some advice so you can make the most of your smartphone with the latest iOS 18 software (https://techgameinside.com/ios-18-top-new-leaks-features/) and the new iPhone releases (https://techgameinside.com/from-standard-to-pro-max-navigating-the-iphone-16-model-spectrum/). They’re a lot of fun and quite convenient, and they should also help you save some time.
- LIMIT IPHONE USAGE WITH SCREEN TIME
We know full well that we use our phones excessively. iOS 12 includes a new setting called Screen Time that can help if you want to reduce the amount of time you spend on social media, online shopping, or reading headlines. Children who are addicted to their smartphones will also find this function to be quite useful. Here’s how to make screen time available:
- Tap the Settings App
- Tap Screen Time
- Tap App Limits
- Tap Add Limit
- Tap a Category
- Tap Add
- Select the Time
- Tap the Top Left Arrow to Save
2. MEASURE OBJECTS WITH YOUR IPHONE
It seems like you can never find the tape measure you need to take measurements of anything. You can now measure spaces and objects with the built-in measuring tool in iOS 12. Even though it’s not perfectly exact, it’s a helpful tool to have on hand for last-minute object or distance measurements. Take these steps to see how the app compares:
- Open the Measure App
- Move your iPhone around so the device can analyze the area
- Hold your iPhone so the camera is pointing at the object you want to measure
- Move your iPhone around until you see a white circle with a dot in the middle
- Line the white dot up with the edge of the item you want to measure
- Press the white button with the + sign
- Drag to opposite edge of item
- Press the white button with the + sign
- The app will display the estimated measurement
3. ADD MULTIPLE FACES TO FACE ID
With the exception of the iPhone SE, the most recent iPhones unlock your device using Face ID. Before iOS 11, the device could only identify one face; thus, if someone else used your phone to open it, they would need to enter a passcode. Apple now allows users to register several faces to unlock a single device, similar to how you could register numerous fingerprints with Touch ID for earlier iPhone models. Here’s the method!
- Tap Settings
- Tap Face ID & Passcode
- Type in your passcode
- Tap Set Up an Alternate Appearance
- Scan your face and follow the prompts
4. CREATE A CUSTOM MEMOJI
Though most of you are already familiar with Animoji, you can now make your own personalized animated avatars, or Memoji, that resemble you. Memojis are a lighthearted yet affable and enjoyable new form of communication with your loved ones. This is how to make and personalize your own:
- Open your messages app
- Tap the animoji icon with the monkey on it
- Swipe right to the plus sign and tap New Memoji
- Choose your skin color
- Choose your freckle level
- Choose your hairstyle
- Choose your head shape, age, and chin
- Choose your eye shape, eye color, and eyelashes
- Choose your eyebrows, eyebrow color, and eyebrow shape
- Choose your nose, lip color, and lip shape
- Choose your ears, earrings
- Choose your facial hair and its color
- Choose your eyewear and its color
- Choose your hat and its color
5. TAKE MORE LEVEL, BETTER-FRAMED PHOTOS
When shooting overhead photos of your belongings, the iPhone has a secret camera setting that you’ll find useful. To activate the feature, visit:
- Settings
- Scroll down some
- Tap “Camera”
- Enable the Grid
Two crosshairs—a white crosshair and a yellow crosshair—will show up when you hold your phone over something to take a picture. Your snapshot is level when those lines align!
6. ACCESS THE CALCULATOR FASTER
There’s an easier option you may not be aware of if you need to perform quick arithmetic calculations but don’t want to use the calculator app!
- Swipe right over the home screen, lock screen, or while you’re looking at your notifications
- Type in the operation
- Your iPhone will calculate it for you
When it comes time to figure out how much to tip the server at the restaurant, this information will come in very handy.
7. USE THE DOCUMENT SCANNER IN THE NOTES APP
Apple has integrated a handy document scanner directly into the Notes application. This is how to get to it:
- Open the Notes app
- Create a new note or open an existing one
- Tap the + icon that’s located above your iPhone’s keyboard in the center
- Tap Scan Documents
- Use the shutter button or one of your iPhone’s volume buttons to capture a photo of your document
- Adjust the corners of the document by tapping and dragging them, if necessary
- Tap Save
8. CREATE SHORTCUTS
Aside from enhanced battery life and performance, shortcuts are arguably the most intriguing new feature in iOS 12. They make daily activities easier to complete and enable you to use Siri or your apps to complete tasks. For instance, you could designate a shortcut called “omw” (on my way) that would initiate your preferred navigation software, obtain directions to your residence, and send an automated text message to your partner informing them of your anticipated arrival time. Sounds good, doesn’t it? To make or download your own shortcuts, follow these instructions:
- Open the App Store
- Search Shortcuts
- Download the App
- Open the App
- Tap Get Started
- Tap Gallery at the bottom right
- Tap what shortcut you want to use
- Tap Get Shortcut
- Follow the steps to configure your new shortcut
9. ADD EFFECTS TO YOUR PHOTOS
With iOS 12, you may use various photo editing features directly within the messaging app, like Snapchat. In order to swiftly email your selfies or images to your pals and continue with your day, you may instantly add shapes, stickers, text, or a filter to them.
- Open the Messages App
- Tap the Camera icon on the bottom left
- Take a photo or a selfie
- Tap Effects
- Tap Shapes, Text, or Filters
- Drag the objects on your photo
- Press the send button to send the edited image
10. EXTEND BATTERY LIFE EASILY
It’s possible that you are unaware of the “Low Power Mode” setting on your iPhone. By disabling certain battery-draining functions, such as quicker screen dimming, fewer email retrievals, and disabling background app refresh, it lowers power usage. To extend the life of your battery, follow these instructions to switch it on:
- Open the Settings app
- Tap “Battery”
- Enable Low Power Mode
