Did you know your iPhone has a built-in QR code scanner that’s more powerful than the Camera app?
How to Access: Swipe down from the top-right corner (or up, depending on your model) to open the Control Center, and tap the QR Code Scanner icon.
This tool works instantly, even in low-light conditions, and opens links seamlessly. Perfect for scanning restaurant menus, Wi-Fi logins, or shopping deals on the go!
How to Set It Up: Go to Settings > General > Keyboard > Text Replacement, then add your shortcuts.
For example, type “@address” to automatically expand it to your full home address. It’s a game-changer for emails, frequently used phrases and even emojis!
How to Enable It: Navigate to Settings > Accessibility > Audio/Visual > LED Flash for Alerts and toggle it on.
Your iPhone will blink its flash whenever you receive calls or notifications—a subtle but effective way to grab your attention.
How to Use It: Long press the space bar until the keys disappear, then swipe to move the cursor where you need it.
Editing text has never been easier—no more struggling to position that tiny blinking line.
Capture more than just what’s visible on your screen with the full-page screenshot feature.
How to Do It: Take a screenshot in Safari, then tap the thumbnail and select “Full Page” at the top. Save it as a PDF or share it directly.
This is perfect for saving long articles, online recipes, or booking confirmations.
Turn your iPhone into a text extractor with the powerful Live Text feature.
How to Use It: Open a photo or pause a video, tap the highlighted text, and copy or share it.
Need to copy someone’s email from a business card or a tracking number from a package? Just point, click, and you’re done!
How to Enable It: Go to Settings > Phone > Silence Unknown Callers and toggle it on.
Calls from numbers not in your contacts will go straight to voicemail, giving you peace of mind while keeping your phone distraction-free.
