Hey guys, grab your iPhones because I’ve got 25 super useful tips and tricks that you probably forgot about or never even knew existed! Let’s dive in.
Imagine you’re scrolling through Instagram and stumble upon a hilarious picture you want to share. Just screenshot it, tap and hold on that screenshot, swipe up to go into another app like WhatsApp, drop it directly into your chat, and hit send. This also works with photos from your photo app—just tap, hold, and swipe up to open WhatsApp, then drop and send. Simple, right?
When you’re navigating through any app like Notes, Settings, or even the Health app, and want to go back, just tap and hold the back button. A secret menu will pop up, allowing you to jump back to any previous page. This also works in Chrome and Safari for web pages.
Been scrolling endlessly? Instead of scrolling all the way back up, just touch anywhere on the status bar, and you’ll instantly jump back to the top. This works in almost every app like YouTube, Spotify, and Safari.
If you’ve been typing a message or editing a photo and want to undo your action, just shake your phone, click undo, and it’s done. This feature works in multiple places on your phone, including the home screen if you accidentally move an app.
To quickly share a picture, use three fingers to pinch on the screen to copy it. Then, go into another app like WhatsApp, pinch out with three fingers, and it’ll paste instantly. This also works with text—it’s faster than using the share sheet.
Hold down the space bar to move the cursor around. While holding it down, tap anywhere on the keyboard to start selecting text, and tap again when done. For special characters or numbers, press and hold the special character key, select what you need, then let go and continue typing. Tap twice to select a word or thrice for a paragraph. Holding down a letter shows special characters, including currency symbols.
Draw any shape with the markup tool, then pause at the end, and your iPhone will automatically fix it. This works in Photos, Notes, Mail, and even on screenshots.
Need to do a quick calculation? Just type it in the search bar like “25 – 7” and it’ll give you the answer.
Instead of moving apps one by one, tap and hold on a few to stack them up and move them together. If you make a mistake, shake your phone to undo.
