In the bustling world of smartphones, there are often hidden features and tricks that can make our lives more efficient and enjoyable. If you’re an iPhone user discovering these hidden gems can add a layer of convenience to your daily tech interactions. Let’s delve into some recent iPhone tips and tricks that might just surprise you.
Siri, where are you?
Losing your iPhone is a common occurrence, but did you know you can locate it swiftly with a simple voice command? By saying, “Siri, where are you?” your trusty virtual assistant responds with its location, making this a handy trick for those inevitable moments of misplacement. Siri can make taking photos faster. While it can’t capture the photo, Siri can open the Camera app to the setting that you ask for, so you just need to tap the camera button (or click the volume button).
Virtual dressing rooms
Embrace the future of shopping with virtual dressing rooms. Apps like “Aiuta” allow you to try on clothes virtually by connecting to your photo album or capturing a real-time photo. Select from various brands, trends, and styles, and witness the magic as the app makes it appear as if you’re wearing the chosen outfit.
Organizing photos with people & pets
Tired of scrolling through endless photos to find specific shots of your furry friend? Apple’s new People & Pets feature comes to the rescue. Simply open a photo, tap the Info button, and name the person or pet. Now, searching for specific images becomes a breeze, provided you’re running iOS 17 or later.
Laundry label decoding
Unravel the mysteries of laundry care symbols by using the Visual Look Up feature on iPhones. Snap a photo of a laundry label, tap the “i” symbol, and select “Look Up Laundry Care” to access detailed care instructions. Android users can achieve a similar result through apps like aiWardrobe Easy Care Labels or the Google Lens Camera app.
Check-in feature
Keep loved ones informed about your whereabouts with the Check-In feature on iPhones. Initiate a check-in by opening the Messages app, selecting the recipient, and tapping the plus-icon. Choose between “When I Arrive” or “After a timer” options to automatically notify someone when you reach your destination or if you’re delayed.
These smartphone tips and tricks showcase the dynamic capabilities of our devices beyond the surface. Stay tuned for more updates and explore the potential of your smartphone to enhance your daily experiences.
