5 not-so-hidden iPhone features you probably don’t know

MANILA, Philippines — Since the technological and design revolution iPhone 6 brought almost a decade ago, succeeding iPhone models have improved dramatically.

The latest, iPhone 15, carries up-to-date features and the fastest technology Apple has to offer yet. With so many capabilities loaded in an iPhone, it is normal not to use all the features, but some of them are real game changers.

These collections of not-so-hidden iPhone features are from real iPhone enthusiasts. So, buckle up, start exploring, and be prepared to get blown away!

It’s always a hassle to scroll all the way to the top manually after continuously scrolling down on your social media accounts or the articles you read. But there’s actually a shortcut!

You can just tap the edge of your screen to immediately scroll all the way up. It works on all apps and comes in handy if the app you’re using does not have a refresh or home button.

With almost everything going digital nowadays, repeatedly typing important details on forms and transactions can be quite annoying. That’s where Text Replacement comes in. By assigning shortcuts to your most used words and information, you’ll save a lot of time.

Some examples from Apple users are using “@@” shortcut for your personal email address, “@a” for your address, “N1” for your number, “N2” for your Mom’s number, etc. You can get creative however you want, and you don’t need to stick to just personal information—you can create shortcuts for phrases you use every day.

To navigate, follow these steps: Settings > General > Keyboard > Text Replacement

The back of your iPhone can be customized further to run certain actions or shortcuts every time you tap it 2x or 3x. Even more amazing is that it still works with a case on!

To set up Back Tap: Settings > Accessibility > Touch > Back Tap

You can customize this more by setting up a Shortcut with conditions. Here are sample Back Tap shortcuts:

Double Tap: Lock Rotation

Triple Tap: Shortcut – Start Stopwatch

Along with Apple’s recent-release of the latest iPhone 15 models came its newest software update, the iOS 17. It brought a lot of bug fixes and stunning new features, one of which is the improvement on AirDrop.
