Remember at least a couple of the presented iphone hidden features, they will surely prove useful to you and your friends.

If everything written is a “Chinese letter” for you, we suggest watching a video that simply and clearly explains the secret functions of the iPhone and demonstrates cool features that will come in handy in difficult situations.

We hope that the article was useful for you and that you learned something new for yourself.

On September 25, sales of the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus started successfully. The first reviews and tests of new products have already begun to appear on the Web. According to journalists and the first owners of the coveted devices, the iPhone 6s can be called the most significant update to Apple's smartphone line.

Today we will tell you what is the first thing to try after buying a brand new iPhone 6s.

1. 3D Touch Gestures

As the main feature of the "eski", of course, is a display with 3D Touch support. The new touch technology that recognizes the force of pressure can work wonders. Users open up new frontiers in the use of a smartphone. And, despite the fact that the function may seem useless to some, the first reviews of iPhone 6s owners say otherwise.

“I felt as if the glass panel of the screen disappeared altogether, and I clicked directly on the app icon,” writes Walt Mossberg of The Verge. “3D Touch reminded me of working with the right mouse button […].”

Until you try a feature, it's hard to understand those who praise it. Just imagine how much time you can save by using the preview mode or directly jumping to the desired action in applications.

2. "Live" photos

Another unique feature of the new iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus. The camera is capable of capturing the movement of an object just like when shooting a video. At the same time, one and a half seconds before the camera shutter is released and one and a half seconds after are stored in memory. This creates the effect of animated photographs.

3. The keyboard is turning, the keyboard is turning ...

Thanks to the 3D Touch module, you can get a real trackpad from a standard iOS keyboard. With it, it will become much easier to control the cursor, select, copy and perform other actions with text. You can find out how the function works by watching the following video:

4. Take a selfie

Taking selfies in the new iPhone 6s has reached a new level. Despite the fact that this occupation is very specific, the "eska" in every possible way condones it. Apple, in addition to improving the resolution of the front camera, added a kind of flash analog. Of course, you will not find LEDs on the front panel - it's all about the software implementation. Apple taught the Retina display to turn up the brightness to maximum in a split second before shooting.

Here's how Apple describes the feature:

“When taking a selfie, the pre-flash detects the light level, and then the True Tone Flash on the display fires, optimally complementing the ambient light. At the heart of Retina Flash is an innovative technology: a special processor increases the brightness of the screen by three times compared to the normal state. The end result is a beautiful shot with true-to-life colors and natural skin tones.”

5. Record video in 4K

4K video recording is another unique feature of the iPhone 6s. Despite the fact that such a solution has already been seen by competitors, Apple's implementation of the technology is commendable. By the way, it is worth noting that the iPhone 6s Plus records video in Ultra HD better than the iPhone 6s due to optical stabilization. But the usual "eska" quite adequately copes with the task. A small nuance: video in ultra-high quality takes up a lot of space on the drive. A one-minute video will "weigh" 375 MB. Fans of 4K recommended iPhone in the minimum configuration with 64 GB of memory.

6. Try to bend

The problem of the so-called bandgate is no longer relevant. In the past, some iPhone 6 Plus owners complained that their smartphones were bent when in their pocket. Apple listened to users and henceforth the case is made of aluminum 7000 series. Try to bend!

7. Start using Siri

Siri, however strange it may sound, is another innovation available to users of the iPhone 6s and beyond. Finally, the Cupertino-based voice assistant project has grown out of beta testing. The assistant learned many new languages, including Russian. And although she still does not know how to sparkle to answer the tricky questions of our compatriots, in many situations she provides an invaluable service.

Thanks to the M9 co-processor in the iPhone 6s, the voice assistant is constantly listening to you and is ready to respond to the “Hey Siri!” command. But the innovations don't end there. From now on, Siri is able to recognize the voice of the owner of the iPhone. An extra guarantee of data security never hurt anyone.

8. Reachability

And the last function of the hit parade is the Reachability mode. With it, iPhone owners with small hands will be more comfortable using a 5.5-inch phablet. The screen slides down to comfortable limits so that the user can easily reach the top icons. To activate the mode, just double-tap the Home button.

If you are unable to activate the feature, go to the Settings app –> General –> Accessibility and turn it on.

1. Taking pictures without using the touch screen

Just call Siri with a long touch on the Home button and ask to turn on the camera. To take a photo, press any volume button on your smartphone or headphones.

2. Emergency reboot

In those rare cases when the iPhone freezes or needs to free up the RAM of the device, an emergency reboot will help. Just hold down the Home button and the Lock button for 10 seconds.

3. Triple click on the Home button

Go to "Accessibility" in the main settings of the iPhone. Scroll down to the "Keyboard Shortcut" tab - a list of functions will open in front of you. Triple-pressing the Home button launches VoiceOver, color inversion (useful for reading), some display settings, screen zoom, and Switch Control or AssistiveTouch.

To turn on the magnifier by triple pressing the Home button, simply select the appropriate item in the “Universal Access”.

4. Double tap the Home button sensor

Perhaps all iPhone users know that double-clicking on the mechanical Home button opens the application selection window. But not everyone is aware that a double tap on the button sensor “lowers” the screen a little, allowing owners of large smartphones to easily reach the top icons.

5. Using 3D Touch

If you have an iPhone 6s or later, using 3D Touch can make your life easier and save you a lot of time. This technology will speed up the movement between applications, make typing more convenient and.

6. Remapping volume buttons

The iPhone has two volume settings: the first is for calls and notifications, the second is for music and apps. Turning off the “Change with buttons” toggle switch in the sound settings will fix the ringer volume in the current position and give the side buttons control exclusively for music and applications.

Work with text

7. Undo the last action

Just shake your smartphone, and iOS will prompt you to undo the last action, whether it's typing, pasting, or, conversely, deleting text.

8. Quick domain entry

In cases where the keyboard prompts you to quickly enter the domain.com, hold your finger on this button. You will see a list of popular domains, where you can quickly switch to cherished.ru.

9. Removing the microphone icon from the keyboard

The microphone icon between the space and the language change button is for voice input. You can remove the icon by moving the "Turn on dictation" slider in the keyboard settings to an inactive position.

10. Listening to text

iOS supports the "Screen Aloud" feature. To enable it, activate the slider in the speech settings: "Settings" → "General" → "Universal access". To have iPhone speak text on the screen, swipe down with two fingers in any app.

Safety

11. Create an alpha password to unlock

If you don't trust four or six digit passwords and don't like Touch ID technology, you can set a long one.

Go to the passcode settings and select "Change passcode". The system will require you to enter the old combination first, and then the new one. On the screen for entering a new password, click on "Passcode Options" and select an acceptable option.

12. Improve Touch ID Accuracy

To make iPhone recognize you more confidently and quickly, create multiple fingerprints of the same finger.

13. Create hidden photos

If you take photos in the standard camera application, they will be saved in the media library. To protect the photo with a password, you need to resort to tricks. Turn off photo export and set a password in the Notes app settings. To take a secret photo, go to create a new note and tap on the camera icon. After the photo is taken, click on "Export" and select "Lock Note".

14. Guided Access

We often give the smartphone into the wrong hands “pass the level in the game”, “read the article” or “watch the video on YouTube”. If you don't trust who will be using your iPhone, turn on Guided Access in Settings: General → Accessibility → Guided Access.

When giving iPhone to someone, triple-click the Home button to turn on Guided Access, and the person can only use the open app.

Siri

15. "Whose iPhone is this?"

If you find a lost iPhone, Siri will help you contact its owner without entering a password. Ask her "Whose iPhone is this?" or “Who owns this iPhone?”, and a window with the name of the owner of the gadget will open in front of you.

In order for the iPhone that finds you to be able to find you in this way, go to the Siri settings and in the "Data" tab, assign a contact with information about yourself.

16. Male voice Siri

Not everyone knows, but our faithful electronic assistant can speak in a pleasant male voice. This option is available in the Siri settings.

Calls

17. Calling the last dialed number

To repeat the last call, it is not necessary to go to the "Recent" tab. Press the green handset on the key screen and the iPhone will prompt you to call back the last number you dialed.

18. Quick access to favorite contacts

To quickly dial important numbers, add them to the "Favorites" tab in the standard "Phone" application. Swipe right on the desktop to go to the widget panel. Scroll down and click "Edit", and then tap on the plus next to the "Favorites" widget. Now you can call your loved ones faster and even when the screen is locked.

19. Detect incoming call in headphones

Answering calls with headphones is sometimes much easier than reaching for your phone. To find out who is calling you without taking your iPhone out of your pocket, turn on the Call Announcements toggle switch in your phone settings.

Messages

20. Deleting old messages

Deleting irrelevant messages will help clean up your correspondence and free up precious megabytes of memory. Find the “Leave messages” item in the settings and set the required time after which the messages will be deleted.

21. Saving traffic in "Messages"

In order not to waste traffic on heavy attachments, enable low quality mode in the message settings.

22. Time of sending messages

One of the non-obvious features of "Messages" is to view the exact time of sending. Just swipe from the right side of the screen.

Alarm

23. Set a ringtone from Apple Music

The ability to set your favorite alarm clock song is not a trick, but a basic iPhone feature that many people don't know about. When creating a new alarm, click on the "Sound" tab. Rewind the list to the very beginning, in front of the standard ringtones, find a panel with familiar names and click on "Song Selection".

24. Alarm snooze

To reschedule the alarm to a later time, it is not necessary to look for the corresponding button on the screen. Press any side button and your iPhone will wake you up again in nine minutes.

Such an interval was not chosen by chance: the old mechanical alarm clocks could not count exactly 600 seconds. They did not take into account the current minute and started counting nine minutes from the next.

safari

25. Search by a word on a page

Enter the desired word in the address bar. In the drop-down menu under the suggestions of the search engine, select the item "On this page."

26. Recently Closed Tabs

Go to the screen, which shows previews of open pages, and hold your finger on the "+" button. You will see a list of recently closed tabs. This is useful if you accidentally closed a long-open page that is hard to find in your browser history.

27. Convert Safari Page to PDF File

28. Open links in the background

Other basic applications and services

29. Spotlight as a Converter

Swiping down on any iPhone screen opens Spotlight. Its use significantly reduces the time to search for something in the smartphone. Spotlight provides results from many applications: it will help you find the right podcast episode, a message by a keyword, or a person on Twitter. Also, a standard search engine can act as a converter. Just enter the query "1 usd" or "15 inches to cm".

30. Convert slow motion video to normal

If you've played with the slow motion feature and accidentally filmed something in slow motion that would look better at natural speed, it's easy to bring the video to the original pace without additional applications. Open the video editing section and adjust the values in the speed bar. This bar is located above the timing field, where we usually cut videos.

31. Level

The compass in the basic configuration of applications is practically useless in the city. But if you swipe the screen to the left, you can get a level - an indispensable device for repair and installation.

32. Optimize Apple Music Storage

Turn on Optimize Storage in Music Settings and iPhone will automatically delete songs you rarely listen to. This will only happen when the device's memory runs out.

You can set a storage size to set the minimum amount of music that won't be deleted from iPhone.

33. Location Reminders

The task managers in the App Store offer a lot of features, but the standard Reminders can do a lot. For example, a basic app might remind you to buy milk not only at 3:00 pm, but also when you visit the store. To enable this feature, select "Remind me by location" and find the desired geolocation in the task settings.

Battery

34. Turn on the power saving mode

If your iPhone has more than 20% battery left, but the nearest outlet is still very far away, it makes sense to switch to power saving mode. To enable the mode, simply ask Siri about it or find the appropriate item in the battery settings. In these settings, you can also find a list of the most energy-consuming applications and close them in a timely manner.

35. Silent charging connection

Vibration when connecting the charger to the iPhone can be avoided by opening the Camera app before connecting the Lightning cable. The device will start charging, and your lightly sleeping relatives will not be awakened by a sudden sound.

Smartphones developed by Apple have long taken a strong position in the mobile phone market. Nevertheless, the operating system of "apple" phones still has undiscovered features that you did not even know about.

website shares with you amazing tricks that you can do with your iPhone.

Timer for playing music

Now, before going to bed, you can enjoy your favorite tunes without worrying about how to stay awake and leave playing music all night. Just set the timer for the time you need, which is located on the "Clock" tab. In the "At the end" section, instead of the specified ringtone, select the "Stop" item and fall asleep. Your phone will do the rest of the work for you. A real find for audiobook lovers!

Creating a unique vibration

Instead of the standard vibration pattern for text messages, you can easily create your own template.

Go to phone settings, then - "Sounds" > "Ringtones" > "Vibration". Select the section labeled "Create Vibration".
Start recording and tap the screen in time with the desired vibration rhythm. Then stop recording and save your template. It will be stored in the "Vibration" subsection (ringtones menu), in the "Random" list.

In addition, you can create a personalized vibration for each contact in your phone book.

Cleaning the device's RAM

To make your iPhone run faster, try clearing your device's RAM. You can do this with a few simple steps:

Press and hold the power off button of your device until the power off slider appears.
Without doing the usual swipe on the shutdown slider, press and hold the Home button.
After a few seconds, you will see a slight screen flicker, and then you will be returned to the desktop again. At this point, the iPhone or iPad's RAM will be cleared and the device will start working faster.

Message sent time

You can easily find out the exact time when a message was sent with a few simple steps:

Go to the Messages app.
Now open a conversation that contains the message you're interested in.
Swipe from the right edge of the screen to the left.
The date and time it was sent or received will appear next to each message.

Character counter for SMS

In order not to manually count the characters used in the message, enable the standard counter function on the iPhone:

Open the "Settings" app, find the "Messages" section.
In the "Messages" section, opposite the "Number of characters" item, activate the slider.

Ready! As soon as you start typing the text of the message, you will almost immediately notice a character counter on the side, which shows how many characters you have already entered.

Recording video with the screen turned off

If you want others not to notice you are taking photos or videos, do the following:

On the locked screen, press the "Camera" button and raise the "curtain" that appears halfway.
Continuing to hold the "curtain" in a half-open state, if necessary, switch to the video shooting mode and press the record button.
Double click on the Home button three times.
Hold the "curtain" until the screen is completely blank and remember that the recording is already in progress!
If you want to stop recording video, please activate your device in the usual way and stop recording in the menu.

Rewind audio and video

You can change the rewind speed by moving the slider. So, the yellow area is used for fast rewinding, the red area is used for rewinding twice as slowly, and the green one takes it even longer.

Calling an extension

If you want to call an extension from your iPhone, dial the main number and then hold down the star for a few seconds. After the main number, a comma will appear on the screen, enter the extension number and press "Call".

Changing the Panorama Shooting Direction

Easily change the panorama shooting direction on iPhone by simply tapping the arrow on the phone screen.

Deleting numbers in the calculator

If you notice an error in the typed number, then delete any extreme digit by swiping left or right in the input field.

Quick call for an ambulance

If you fill out your “medical card” on your phone in advance, any user will be able to provide doctors with information that is important to save your life in a critical situation. We recommend that you include at least a blood type and information about which medications you may be allergic to.

Restoring closed pages in Safari

To see the most recently opened tabs in the Safari browser, simply click on the "+" icon at the bottom of the screen.

Maps offline

If you have previously downloaded the required map, then by writing “OK maps” in the search, you can use the viewed maps offline.

Hidden application "Field Test"

Service codes are available on the iPhone, with which you can get various information about the gadget, mobile operator, and cellular network. A simple call to *3001#12345#* can bring up a hidden menu with information about the SIM card, mobile operator network, signal strength, etc.

Increasing Wi-Fi Speed

Return to the previous menu and scroll the screen to "Keyboard Shortcuts". Turn on the only item "Magnification" (check the box opposite).

Press the Home key three times in a row and tap on the joystick controller that appears. Bring the slider to the minimum value and open the "Select Filter" function.

Set the Low Light filter and hide the controller.

Disable tabs in Apple Music

The appearance of the Apple Music service has significantly expanded the horizons of preferences for music lovers, but a number of extra tabs complicate the interaction with the familiar program. You can remove unnecessary tabs (provided that the service itself does not interest you) using a few simple steps:

Go to Settings > Music.
Turn off the "Show Apple Music" slider.
Go to Settings > General > Restrictions. Enter the set password.
Turn off "Connect to Apple Music".

Surely there are situations when your phone freezes or simply “acts” and refuses to work properly. Give your iPhone a little timeout. To do this, hold down the "Home" and "On / off" buttons until the iPhone screen turns off. This may take up to 10 seconds. Your phone will then reboot and the Apple logo will appear on the screen.
