An overview from quite simple features to less obvious ones that can be useful in everyday use. Starting from the hypothesis that many use their poison expensive device only instinctively and purposefully for a few basic things.
In the third part of our series, we’ll go through more but simpler features than usual, crowned with a decade and a half of iPhone mummy.
Efficiency features
Wi-Fi password share: We all know, though we might want to deny that the real neuralgic point of most social events is the wifi password. The certain thing that needs to be clarified before the welcome drink, otherwise it doesn’t go really well. What’s more, it’s nothing easier than dictating a thirty-character Balkan swear word made up of lowercase and uppercase letters and a few random numbers. However, as freezing as the problem is, an efficient and mostly well-functioning feature is to fill in the wifi code at the touch of a button.
All in all, it is necessary for the two parties to be saved in each other’s contacts. On the wifideficites phone, you have to tap on the local network, and if the other device is within range of the bluetooth, the pop-up password will fill in the password on the other mobile in a matter of seconds. If that doesn’t work, you may want to add the other party’s icloudos email address to your contacts.
Calculator secrets: The calculator is the application you want to use for exactly ten seconds. In a hurry, however, it is not difficult to dial the wrong number, in which case the delete number will disappear. If you only want to delete an incorrect number, just tap the number on the number display. You can copy the result by copying it for a long time. Turning the phone also scrolls the scientific part of the calculator.
To share audio with supported headphones and earphones: Apple’s software shows the best face when pairing two audio devices into one device. Airpods or Beats wireless earphones and headphones – up to two – can be used with one source to listen to music or even watch movies on longer trips.
One way is to bring up the audio devices in the control center by tapping the right upper Airplay icon on the mini-player on your mini-player by tapping the top right on your older device and clicking on the share sound button. You need to bring the other iPhone close until the audio sharing animation reappears. Both devices need to be accepted and are ready. The other way is to connect the other headset directly to the source iPhone or iPad, then simply check both devices for use and we’re done.
Built-in measurement application: With the help of the camera, it is able to determine the height of real objects in our home or even walls and people. However, do not immediately start throwing colts, centimeters, rulers into the fire. Even Apple notes softly that the measurements are approximate. It’s really not suitable to take millimeter-point measurements, there are a couple of inches wrong. When it comes to the question of how long or wide a car is, it fits in the garage, perfect for that and similar measurements.

When you open the app, you need to move the camera around the floor to calibrate. The target cross is then directed to the measurement point and the plus sign can be started manually. The system detects rectangular objects and automatically measures them. Use the upper left icon to retrieve the measurement results. When measuring the height of people, it is enough to simply point the camera at the person to be seen to see the whole body and write the result in a moment. Height can only be read on the 12 and 13 Pro models – and the iPad Pro 2020 or later – using the depth sensor in them. You can use iPhone as a spirit level by clicking on the Level in the bottom bar.
Tricks to help you navigate
Group selection with two-finger swipe: In factory applications, we usually delete, share, or move by clicking the edit button and selecting the items one at a time. In Apple apps that have items that you can open in a row, such as Mail, Notes, Messages, Files, all you have to do is swipe down with two fingers and immediately select the items you want to tap. Worth to try!
Copy, paste with three fingers: To copy, select the desired text by double-tapping the word with one finger and three-tap the paragraph, and then pinching it with three fingers to copy. To insert, slide the three fingers apart on the screen.
Extra features
Filter out background sounds: There are plenty of platforms and applications today that offer audio or video calling like Facetime. The real difference is the company’s continuous software development. During a facetime call, scroll down to the control panel, click Microphone Mode, where you can turn on speech isolation. It filters out almost any annoying sound and also mutes the microphone immediately if it does not detect speech, thus reducing noise. A redemption to turn on with the always-packing interlocutors.
To hide pictures in Photos without deleting them: Most of us have images that we may not want to store in the unprotected field of the Photos app for any reason. In the photo library, select the images, click the share button, and select Hide. This will be placed in the penultimate folder of the albums section as Hidden. This will make it disappear from all other albums, all photos, and can’t be retrieved by search. The hidden folder can be deleted at the touch of a button Settings – Photos – Hidden album by turning it off.
Bonus: The mumus! – How can I make an iPhone ringtone from any audio file?
If it seemed like a really impossible mission for iPhones, it was always setting your own ringtone. I’m not saying it’s not going out of fashion to degrade our favorite song into a ringtone, but if we insist on Bodri’s dog’s barking, then there’s nothing stopping him from here. Beyond humor, setting a custom ringtone to this day is one of the most common iPhone questions I get. Here is the answer.
Easiest with the Ringtonemaker free app and Garage Band. If you opened Ringtonemaker and imported the sound file, you can also cut it by clicking on the scissors, because a ringtone can be up to thirty seconds long. All you have to do is set the starting point, the app will cut what doesn’t fit. Then click the ringer icon (make) and the Garagebandre app icon to share.
Here you can quickly upload the sound file, long click on it, and when you choose to share, a three-option window will pop up, where you need to tap on the ringtone. You can give the sound file a name and finalize it. From now on, the audio will now appear under the Settings – Sounds and Haptics menu. You can now set it as a ringtone and any other software notification sound.
