Four cool iPhone features that I started using

Apple storm the world with the iPhone in 2007, and its crown jewel only makes features that can be rescuers – or simply really cool.

I went from iPod Touch to an iPhone 5 at 13 in 2012, so I consider myself a little expert. However, years later, my iPhone 14 Pro Max seems to be going out with innovations. I became used to the old ways of manual functions, to type requests in the Safari search bar and to trust my memory.

As Apple introduces new features, I have taken up the tools I see every day – such as sending vocal notes to iMessage or searching for applications instead of looking for them in all my files. However, there are more obscure additions that I had not used.

These days, high-end iPhones cost more than $ 1,000, and Apple analysts have said that they could become much more expensive if President Donald Trump follows with the steep prices he wanted to impose on China, the main manufacturing center of iPhone.

I decided it was time to get my money from my handset because I will not get an upgrade for a while.

Here are four ways to wipen Apple’s software wisely.

Shortcut

Apple launched the shortened application as part of iOS 12 in 2018. It was marketed as a rescue application which could perform actions according to personalized orders.

I remember that the functionality “I am stopped” being a big problem in 2020. When activated, it would start to record your interaction with the police during traffic stops, but this is the last time that I paid attention to the shortcuts.

I reused the application again and I found a number of customizable features that could be useful. In addition, they can be automated.

For a test race, I made an order so that my phone is automatically facing my friend every time he sent me the word “Hey”. It worked, although it is probably not an order that he would like me to continue.

You can use shortcuts for things like:

• Activate “Do not disturb” when you open a certain application.
• Sending a message when you leave a location.
• Change your wallpaper every day.

Vocal isolation

Vocal isolation is one of my favorite iPhone features of this decade. Since its release in 2021, I have been singing my praises to anyone I talk to on the phone.

In New York, I find myself speaking in a strong environment as soon as I get out of my door. Inside, my two dogs are unleashed with barking each time someone is too close to the windows. The isolation of the voice, however, silenced all the noise.

When my best friends and I fell in the habit of the facetime group calls, we discovered that we could isolate our voices and silence the non -vocal background. So when an ambulance goes with a noisy mermaid, my friends can still hear me to summarize my day.

You can activate it by pressing “phone commands” in the control center while you are on the phone.

Automatically clean the safari tabs

If you are an organized technology user, you probably don’t need it. However, if you are like me, you are welcome.

I like to leave my safari tabs open as a way to keep track of the places I want to visit, things I want to buy and from all the other useful sites to which I may need to refer.

Naturally, a lot a lot The tabs are never revisited again because I continue to add more. Eighty-nine tabs are modest compared to the 150+ which I turned out to be capable. I hope this will now change that I know that I can define my tabs to close automatically after a period of time.

I think I’m going to start with the monthly closures – just to relieve myself in the concept.

Follow these steps to close all your tabs:

Settings> Safari> Tabs Close.

Substantive sounds

The group’s most zen discovery is also the coolest. I have already played rain sounds and a white noise by looking at them on Apple Music, but I learned that they were integrated into my iPhone.

Thanks to the Settings application, you can activate background sounds to hear soothing sounds like the ocean, dark noise or crackling fire. The sounds will continue to play behind other media if you have changed.

Follow these steps to activate the background sounds:

Settings> Accessibility> Audio / Visual> Background sounds.
