Eight hidden features to help you work faster with your iPhone
Share
When you tap the screen dozens of times every day, even an extra swipe or tap seems like a waste of time. However, iOS has many seemingly invisible features that shorten the path to the desired action.
MakeUseOf writes about eight such features.
Install Apps Without Opening the App Store
Open Spotlight (slide the home screen down), type the name of the app you want, and click Get. The download will start immediately, bypassing the store.
Check for App Updates Quickly
Long-press the App Store icon on the Home screen or in the App Library and select Update. You will immediately see what you can update.
Jump to the Top of Any Page
When scrolling through long texts, tap the top right corner of the screen (the area of the network and charge indicators). The page instantly jumps up.
Quickly Scan Documents Using the Notes App
Hold down the Notes icon and select Scan document. The camera will open in scanner mode, and the system will straighten and crop the image.
Quickly Switch Between Apps
On models with Face ID, swipe your finger along the bottom edge of the display to the left or right to jump between recently opened apps without the multitasking menu.
Access Quick Actions on Different Apps
Hold down the icon of any app to see quick actions: X will immediately offer to create a post, Chrome will open a tab in incognito, Gmail will write an email, and so on.
Use Back Tap for Custom Shortcuts
Go to Settings — Accessibility — Touch — Back tap and assign an action to double or triple tap the back cover, such as taking a screenshot or opening the camera.
Launch the Camera Instantly From the Lock Screen
Swipe left on the Lock Screen to open the camera immediately. Or hold the camera icon in the lower right corner of the lock screen.
By mastering each of these tricks individually, you'll be able to install apps, switch between tasks, scan documents, and take pictures faster than ever before — without unnecessary taps or waiting.
As a reminder, iPhone has the setting that allows the smartphone to run faster, but Apple keeps silent about it. One of the users accidentally discovered this option in the settings, which dramatically affected the interaction with the smartphone.
We also wrote that if the Power button on your iPhone is broken, but you need to take a screenshot urgently, you can do it without physical buttons. There are settings that will help with this.
