Keyboard Tips And Tricks

Former Apple employee Tyler Morgan took to TikTok to unveil a series of iPhone keyboard tricks and helpful tips. He shares in his videos efficient methods to expedite typing on the iPhone keyboard.

One of the showcased techniques involves quickly accessing numbers by pressing and holding the "123" key, which reveals the number pad for selection.

Similarly, holding the "#+=" key unveils additional symbols for easy picking before reverting to the regular keyboard.

Other iPhone Hacks Shared

Tyler Morgan recently shared valuable strategies to enhance iPhone battery life and optimize usage.

Featured in The New York Post, Morgan's insights focus on maintaining optimal battery health. He advises users to avoid frequent total charges, suggesting keeping the battery level around 80% to prevent chemical aging, a common issue affecting battery longevity.

Furthermore, Morgan suggests managing app background activity by navigating Settings > General > Background App Refresh. This setting adjustment lets users control when and how apps refresh, conserving battery power by limiting unnecessary background processes.

He also recommends customizing location services in Settings > Privacy and Security > Location Services. This lets users specify which apps access location services, reducing unnecessary power consumption.

Morgan advocates turning off less-used features like "Hey, Siri" under Siri and Search settings and reducing motion effects in Accessibility settings to save battery life.

Additionally, he advises manual management of updates, screen brightness, and Bluetooth to conserve battery despite potential impacts on user experience.

Beyond battery-saving tips, Morgan shares efficient iPhone usage techniques, including quick camera mode switching and a one-handed keyboard option for easier texting. This aims to optimize user experience amidst concerns over iOS 17 updates impacting battery and privacy. These insights provide practical solutions for users seeking improved iPhone performance and longevity.
