Introduction
The iPhone is a powerful and versatile device that has captured the hearts of millions worldwide. While most users are familiar with the basics of calling, texting, and using popular apps, there are numerous hidden gems and secret tricks that can take your iPhone experience to the next level. In this blog, we’ll delve into 10 lesser-known iPhone tips and tricks that the average user may not be aware of.
1. Custom Vibrations:
Did you know you can set custom vibrations for specific contacts? Go to Settings > Sounds & Haptics > Ringtone > Vibration > Create New Vibration. You can create unique patterns for your important contacts, helping you identify who’s calling without looking at your phone.
2. Hidden Magnifier:
Your iPhone has a built-in magnifying feature. Enable it in Settings > Accessibility > Magnifier. Triple-click the side button (or home button, depending on your model) to activate it quickly. This is incredibly handy for reading small text or examining fine details.
3. Shake to Undo:
Made a mistake while typing? Simply shake your iPhone, and a pop-up will appear offering to undo your last action. It’s a quick and easy way to correct errors without the need for precision tapping.
4. Level Tool:
The Compass app on your iPhone also functions as a level tool. Open the app and swipe left to reveal the level. It’s perfect for hanging pictures, aligning furniture, or any task that requires a straight line.
5. Offload Unused Apps:
If your iPhone is running low on storage, you can offload unused apps automatically. Go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage and enable “Offload Unused Apps.” Your iPhone will remove apps you don’t use often but will keep their data, allowing you to reinstall them later.
6. Hidden Trackpad:
Typing and editing text on your iPhone can be a bit finicky. To make it easier, press and hold the spacebar on the keyboard. The keys will disappear, and you can use the spacebar as a trackpad to move the cursor precisely within your text.
7. Screen Recording with Audio:
You can record your iPhone’s screen along with audio. To enable this, go to Settings > Control Center > Customize Controls and add “Screen Recording.” Then, swipe down from the upper-right corner of your screen to access Control Center and tap the screen recording button.
8. Scheduled Text Messages:
Want to send a message later? Long-press the send button in the Messages app to reveal the “Send Later” option. You can schedule messages to be sent at specific times, ensuring you never forget a birthday or important reminder.
9. Quickly Delete Digits in Calculator App:
When you make a mistake in the Calculator app, you don’t need to start over. Simply swipe left or right on the numbers at the top to delete the last digit entered.
10. Emergency SOS:
Your iPhone can help you in emergencies. If you ever find yourself in a dangerous situation, press the side or home button five times quickly to activate Emergency SOS. It will call emergency services and send a message to your emergency contacts with your location.

The iPhone is a treasure trove of hidden features and secret tricks that can make your daily life more efficient and enjoyable.
