I find a lot of people don’t even know all the great things you can do with your iPhone. So based on your experience and knowledge, what do you think the rest of us should be using or learning more about?
I think to many people dont know that you can put the Music Recognition into your Control center. Like this you can Shazam Music thats played on your iPhone, i think this is pretty usefull. Also its a faster access imo if you want to shazam any music from Radio or a friend what ever.
This was a game changer for me. I added this a while ago … it’s great for when you watch a reel or video and want to know the song in the background.
Yeah absolutly!
Altstore and sideloading,
the shortcuts app, with the action button its become more popular but its honestly underrated you can practically automate your entire phone with it.
universal clipboard, awesome to be able to copy and paste between devices
microphone stopped working on my friend’s iphone 7. we don’t know how to fix it. he tried calling me on messenger but i cant hear him.
I have back tap set up for screenshots
Drag the bottom of the screen downwards to bring the entire screen down so you can use your phone with one hand. You have to drag it at the edge of the screen for it work.
It’s annoying when the web page I’m on also scrolls lol. I have it as my back tap.

Swiping to the camera slightly, turns off your flashlight. Easier than fiddling for the flashlight button.

The contacts widget shows any Find My Friends locations. You can nickname locations so it’ll say ‘Wife, home’ or ‘Wife, work’, etc, at a glance.

Shortcut to always return to my maps in driving mode after 10 seconds (say if someone rings you or if you’ve checked Spotify).
-
Shortcut to put on DND until I leave the current location so I never forget to turn it off. Assigned this to a triple lock key press.

Siri can skip your morning/next alarm, but the day after it’ll be normal.
Number 3? That would be so helpful to me 🙏🏼

This is the shortcut which automatically opens Waze after 10 seconds, if in driving mode.
Create an automation and set this to trigger when ‘Waze’ is closed.
Change waze to any map app you’d like (change it both in the automation/trigger and in the shortcut actions)
Number 5. How does that work?
Ask Siri to ‘skip my morning alarm’, or ‘skip my next alarm’. And it’ll be turned off but then turned back on after. In the clock app it’ll say ‘Skipped, tomorrow only’

Shortcut app in my opinion is the most useful and under used app on an iPhone.
Sometimes when I’m holding my phone in both hands I’ll drum on the back of it with my fingers. The flashlight randomly comes on. I think that’s a feature.

Shortcuts. They are super useful and some people aren’t even aware of it.
