Some iPhone settings are easy to locate, simple to use, and everyone is more or less aware of their benefits — take Low Power Mode, for example. Others … well, they take a bit more digging to locate and a little bit of insider knowledge to learn about.
AppleTrack has uncovered some of the best 2023 hidden iPhone features that you may not know about. From calculator hacks to secret codes, these are the features you’re going to use again and again.
Here’s what you need to know about a few of the coolest iPhone features.
Edit In Calculator
When you use your calculator app and make a mistake, you usually have to type “C” and delete everything and start over again. But now you can swipe over from left to right and delete the numbers to simply wipe them out and type the correct number.
Wi-Fi Password Sharing
Head over to Wi-Fi settings and tap on the eye of your network and then tap on password, do a Face Scan, and you can copy and paste your Wi-Fi password to share it with someone else so that they can join your network — so convenient!
One-Handed Zoom
The next time you’re stopped at a red light and want to get a quick look at your Map, but don’t want to use both fingers to zoom in, good news: Apple has added a one-handed zoom feature. Double tap and then pull out to zoom out or double tap and zoom in to pull in.
Lock Albums
Using your Face ID, you can now lock the hidden and recently deleted albums in your photos app, helping to keep them secure from prying eyes. Go to Settings > Photos > Use Face ID. Now, when you return to Photos, you’ll see that it requires your Face ID to show you your albums.
Turn Photos Into Stickers
Here’s another cool hidden photo feature: you can tap or hold on a person or animal in a photo, drag them out of the app, open up a text message, and turn them into a sticker that other people can copy and paste.
