Basic iPhone Things Everyone Should Know:
- If the iPhone is locked, you can tap the screen to turn the screen on. It is not necessary to press any button to activate it and it allows you to deactivate the "Raise to activate" option in Settings / Display and brightness, which will help us save battery.
- In the calculator app you can have a scientific calculator simply by rotating the iPhone to the horizontal position.
- If you slide your finger from right to left over the number you have entered in the calculator, you can delete the last number that appears on the screen.
- If you want to move several apps at the same time, make a long press on any application until they all start to shake and, without letting go, press on the apps you want to move en bloc.Once you have them all grouped, move them, without releasing your finger from the screen, to the place where you want to place them.
- Making a long press on the icons in the control center, many more options will appear, such as the intensity of the flashlight, the available Wi-Fi networks, screen brightness options .
- If you want to close all the tabs you have open in Safari, make a long press on the button with the two squares. Options will appear among which you can select a red one called "Close the x tabs" that allows you to close them all at once.
- Hold down any part of the keyboard to be able to move a cursor over the text that will allow us, among other things, to be able to go to a specific word to correct it, add text somewhere in the writing .
- By holding down some keys on the keyboard, such as numbers, signs, vowels, some letters that have variants such as C, D, N, some variants will appear that you can use.
- If you want to type a number without exiting the letter keyboard, hold down the ABC key and, without releasing, slide your finger to the number you want to enter. It will be added without switching to the numeric keypad.
- Double-tap a word to select it. Three taps to select a phrase. Four taps on a word to select a paragraph.
- You can copy images to the clipboard and paste them to send. For example, to send a photo on WhatsApp, it's much easier to go to your camera roll, find the image, copy it, and paste it into the conversation you want to attach it to.
- It is not recommended to close apps since, although it may not seem like it, it increases the battery consumption.
- It is better to deactivate automatic brightness to prevent the sensor that allows you to adjust the brightness of the screen from constantly acting. That way we will save battery, but we will have to adjust the brightness by hand.
- The apps in the background, only the necessary ones. Do not activate all of them as it causes the iPhone to consume excessive battery. To select the ones you want to act in the background, go to Settings/General/Background update. In this article we talk about what it is and how to configure apps in the background
- In the camera app, you can take photos with the volume buttons. But, also, if you hold down the volume up button, you will take a burst of photos. If you hold down the volume down button, you will record video.
- To mute a call, press the power button once. If you want to reject the call, press it 2 times.
- If you want to draw perfect shapes, draw a shape like a circle, and when you're done, hold for four seconds. Will draw only on native iOS apps like Notes, iMessage .
- You can translate the text of any website. By clicking on the aA button that appears on the right side of the part where the URL of the web appears, we select the option “Translate to Spanish” and it will automatically be translated into our language.
- If you want to select several photos at once, instead of doing it one by one, just select one and drag and hold your finger on the screen up or down to select all the ones you want.
- If you're tired of apps reminding you to rate them go to Settings/App Store and disable the "In-app ratings" option.
- In Photos, we can assign a caption to the photos and videos we want. Swipe up and you will see that the possibility to do so appears.
- The Live Photos can be given different effects if we click on the upper left where the concentric circles with the word "LIVE" appear. We can create a loop, bounce or long exposure image.
- If you have two widgets of the same size on your home screen, you can stack them together. To do this, hold down one of them and move it just above the other as if you were making a folder.Once you do, you can change the widget by swiping up and down on it.
- You can hide the notification preview in Settings/Notifications. By choosing the “Never” option, the notifications will never be displayed and this way no one will be able to pry your screen and see the messages you receive while the iPhone is locked. If you choose the “If unlocked” option, messages will not be displayed while the iPhone is locked, but will be displayed as soon as you unlock it.
- In the settings, you can change the app view from standard to zoom to make it bigger (screen and brightness).
