Apple Support often releases videos with hints and tips on how to use your iPhone. Today, a video that runs for five minutes and 24 seconds was released containing 10 tips for users. These are useful tips that show you some of the cool things that you can do with your iOS-powered handset.
Forget your Wi-Fi password? Your iPhone knows it and is willing to tell you
Now, have you ever forgotten your Wi-Fi password? With an iPhone running on iOS 16 or later, tap on Settings > Wi-Fi . Look for the name of the Wi-Fi network you use and press the information button to the right of that network name. That is the icon with the letter “i” inside a circle. You’ll see a password hidden by asterisks. Use Face ID or Touch ID to reveal the actual password to the Wi-Fi account that you are using. It’s not only useful, it’s also simple.
By moving Low Power Mode to the Control Center, users can quickly enable the feature. To do this, go to Settings > Control Center. Scroll down to Low Power Mode and tap on the green “add” button. If your iPhone has Face ID, you can access Control Center by swiping down from the top right corner. On an iPhone with Touch ID, swipe up from the bottom of the screen. Tap the Low Power Mode icon to enable the feature.
You can select multiple photos to add to other apps. Touch and hold a photo until you feel a tap. Drag it away while still holding it. With a different finger, do the same with another picture. Tap as many photos as you want to add to the stack. While still holding the stack, switch to the supported app you want to add the pictures to. Drag your finger to the spot where you want the pictures to go, and release your finger.
Use Live Text to translate a document or sign in a foreign language
So there you are walking through the city when you see, oh, let’s say, Paul McCartney. You want to take a picture quickly and there is a way that you can access the camera from the lock screen. Just swipe left and the camera UI will appear. Can you quickly snap a picture of the ex-Beatle this way? “Yeah, yeah, yeah.”
If you need to scan a document, you can use the Notes app on your iPhone. While making or looking at a Note in the app, tap the camera icon above the suggested words area. From the popup menu, press “Scan Documents.” Position the document in the viewfinder and it will scan automatically. If you need to scan additional pages, repeat the process. Tap on the Save pill on the bottom right of the screen to save it. You can then share it with anyone.
The last tip gets you to the first photo in a photo album. While in the photo app looking at an album, tap the top edge of the display to transport to the first photo of that album. If you want to jump back to the most recent photo, tap the Library tab on the bottom left of the display.
