An Invisible Backspace Button in Calculator

You can use a hidden backspace function on the iPhone's Calculator app. Instead of clearing everything and starting over when you make a mistake, swipe left on the number display area. This action will remove the last number entered without deleting all the previous calculations.

Swiping Up 3 Fingers to Close 3 Apps at Once

You can swiftly force-close three apps simultaneously by using three fingers to swipe up. This action allows for a quick closure without closing each app individually. This efficient method saves time, especially when you must promptly complete multiple apps.

Remember, it's a simple yet effective gesture to streamline your iPhone's performance.

Navigate Where You Parked Your Car

Feeling lost and can't find where you parked your car? Your iPhone's Maps app can swiftly find your parked car. Enable 'Show Parked Location' in Settings > Maps. Once activated, the app marks your parking spot automatically, making it effortless to trace your steps back later. Just open the Maps app to locate your car.

iPhone as a Radio

Immerse yourself in familiar radio stations while traveling using your iPhone and Siri. In iOS 13 and beyond, Siri accesses over 100,000 radio stations globally via platforms like radio.com, iHeartRadio, and TuneIn.

With this feature, you can enjoy radio programs worldwide, providing a touch of home wherever you go.

Use Hashtags to Categorize Your Notes

Organize and categorize your Notes app with hashtags, similar to how they streamline social media content. Use hashtags within your notes by typing # followed by the tag name anywhere within the message, even in the title.

This method helps you quickly sort and gather related content within the app, making managing various ideas or topics effortless.

Once added, the text will change color, indicating the successful addition of a tag to the note.

Focus and Exposure Trick

Holding down on the screen while using your camera will stop the focus and exposure settings from changing. A yellow bar will then show at the top of the screen. You can change your composition without changing these parameters by locking the focus and exposure.

Customize Siri's Voice

On your iPhone, you can easily change Siri's voice or accent by going to Settings, selecting Siri & Search, and then selecting Siri Voice. Change between speaking in a male or female voice, using different accents such as British or Australian, and experimenting with other languages.

Asking Siri strange queries will amuse you and reveal amusing answers.

Make Your Personalized Vibration Alerts

Create personalized vibration alerts for specific contacts on your iPhone to identify callers without checking your phone. Access the connection, tap Edit, and scroll to Vibration > Create New Vibration. Long press to design a unique pattern for the contacts' calls.

Hide Apps That are Not in Use

Use Apple's App Library feature to hide unused apps from view on your iPhone home screen without permanently deleting them. To remove an app, long-press it, pick "Remove App," and then select "Move to App Library." Before deleting any apps, take care of these necessary steps.

Clear RAM and Speed Up Phone

To optimize your iPhone's storage, clearing the RAM can help free up space occupied by apps. For older iPhones with a home button, hold down the "power" button, then the "home" button.

For newer models with Face ID, enable Assistive Touch in Settings, hold the "power" and "volume up" buttons, then access the Assistive Touch icon and press the "home" button.

This process helps maximize your device's available storage.
