Actually there are lots of features in iPhone, but most of them have been hidden deeply which are not easy to find. Here I would like to share 20 iPhone hidden tricks and useful features to you.

3. Check the sending time of SMS/iMessage

You can easily check the time by swiping your sent SMS frame left with fingers if you have upgraded to iOS 7 or later.

4.  Check flights over your head

It’s one of the hidden features in Siri to check the overhead flights. You just need to ask Siri “What flights are above me” or “Planes overhead”, then she can give you details which includes flight name, height and flight angle. (Tip: please be patient, because Siri needs 30 seconds to get details)

5. Shake-to-undo typing

How to undo the typing mistakes? The shake-to-undo feature is a really convenient feature to undo it with shaking the iPhone, but do remember to hold your iPhone firmly in hand. After shaking, the screen will pop up to undo or cancel. If you have deleted the typing but want it back, then you just need to shake the phone again to get the original typing.

6. Locking Caps on iPhone

Note: If the function doesn’t work, you can try this way: Settings -> General -> Keyboard “Enable Caps Lock”

7. Turn off In-App purchases function

It’s a convenience for people to use in-App purchase function, but there is a risk of spending money accidently if you give the iPhone to children, especially if you are addicted to Candy Crush. You can turn off the shopping function without spending money out of plan: Settings -> General -> Restrictions -> Turn off/Turn on in-App Purchases.

8. Press volume button or use the volume up or down buttons on your headphone to take photos

It’s awesome to avoid shaking to take clear photos.
