Tip 1: Save Battery Life using the Low Power Mode.

The Low Power Mode on iPhones helps conserve battery life by turning off features such as automatic downloads, background app refresh, and some visual effects. It also reduces the amount of power consumed by the processor, allowing the phone to be used for longer periods without charging. It is especially useful when you are in an area with limited access to charging outlets or traveling away from home and needing access to a charger. 

You can enable the Low Power Mode by going to the Settings app on your iPhone and tapping Battery. The battery status bar will be yellow when it is on. It will display a yellow battery icon with the battery percentage. The Low Power Mode will automatically turn off after your iPhone is charged 80% or more.  

Tip 2: Quickly Access Apps.

To quickly access apps on an iPhone, you can use the App Switcher. To open the App Switcher, double-click the Home button. You will then see a list of all the apps you have open. Tap the app you want to open, and it will open immediately. 

You can also access apps quickly by using Siri or adding them to your Dock. To add an app to the Dock, open it, then press and hold the icon until it jiggles. Tap the app icon on the Dock at the bottom of your screen and release. The app will now be available in the Dock for easy access.

Tip 3: Organize Photos and Videos using “Add a Caption.”

The photos and videos you hide will still be available in the Albums tab, but they won’t appear in the Moments, Years, or Collections views. To access the Hidden album, open the Photos app, tap on the Albums tab, and scroll down to the bottom. The Hidden album will be the last on the list.

Within the Control Center, users can customize the different controls, such as the brightness, volume, and Bluetooth settings, and add quick actions for apps like the Camera, Clock, and Calculator. You can also add widgets to the Control Center to display information like weather, stocks, and calendar events.  

Tip 6: Use Siri Shortcuts.

Siri Shortcuts is an iPhone feature that allows users to create custom, voice-activated commands to quickly and easily access apps, settings, and other features. You can create a custom phrase to open the camera, start a timer, and more. You can even create shortcuts with multiple steps activated with just one command. This feature helps make daily tasks faster and easier.   

Tip 7: Hide Unused Apps

You can hide unused apps on your iPhone. To do this, go to the home screen, tap and hold on the app you want to hide, and select the “Remove App” option. This will make the app disappear from your home screen. To unhide it, go to the App Store, find the app, and tap the “Get” button to re-download it.    

Tip 8: Set Up Family Sharing.

The Family Sharing feature on the iPhone allows up to six family members to share purchases, subscriptions, and iCloud storage. With Family Sharing, family members can share photos, calendars, and reminders, as well as music, movies, TV shows, and books from the iTunes Store and App Store. It also allows for easy location sharing and real-time notifications when family members leave or arrive at a specific location.

Tip 9: Use 3D Touch.

3D Touch is a feature on newer iPhones that allows users to press harder on the screen to access additional features. It can preview content, open menus, and quickly access shortcuts. It is available on the iPhone 6s and newer models. Here’s how to use it:

  • Press firmly on the screen until you feel a subtle vibration, and the item will expand.
  • Swipe up or down on the item you’ve pressed to access additional shortcuts or features.
  • Press lightly on the screen if you want to return to the original page.
  • You can also press firmly on the left edge of the screen to quickly access the app switcher.
  • You can also press firmly on the keyboard to turn it into a trackpad for precise cursor movement.

Tip 10: Set the Music timer.

The timer can be set for up to 24 hours and customized to turn off after a specific song or playlist. It is a useful feature for those who want to listen to music for a set amount of time without turning it off manually.
