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.
1. Set
a more complicated passcode, not just simple numbers
A.
Settings
-> General -> Passcode
B.
Turn
off simple passcode
C.
After
setting passcode, the keyboard with alphabet and figures
2. Ask
Siri to read email/message
Only turn on Siri and ask her to “Read
my email” can hear the email sender, date and time, subject. And you can also
demand her to “Read my latest email” and “Do I have email from [person]?
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
Want to know how to type uppercase
letters without continuous tap on Caps icon? Actually, you just need to double
tap on Caps icon on the keyboard to lock the Caps.
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.
9. Select different vibrate mode
You can select different vibrate
mode for different people in your contacts so that you can recognize who
contact you. For example, if you don’t want to answer boss calling, you can…
But of course not, you have to accept the calling of boss.
10. Automatically stop music or sound
Do you have the hobbit to listen
music when getting into bed for night? Here is a really functional feature for
you to set a timer to help you shut down the music or sound. You can tap on
Clock -> Timer -> When timer ends -> scroll down and tap Stop Playing.
