Best Hidden features of iPhone/iPads That everyone should know
There's
little doubt that the king and queen of the post-PC era are the iPad and the
iPhone, and while these devices both started out life as content consumption
devices, they've grown over several hardware and software iterations into
formidable content creation devices.
But
as with any device, there are tips and tricks and shortcuts that can help you
get more from your iDevice investment. Here I'm going to present you with six
tips and tricks that will help you be more productive when using your iPad and
iPhone, whether you use it for work or play.
Do Not
Disturb
Want
some peace from calls and texts? Use the Do Not Disturb mode present in
Settings > Do Not Disturb. This can either be set on demand or to come on
based on a schedule.
Want
to still be able to receive some calls while in Do Not Disturb mode? Use the
Allow Calls From setting to control which of your contacts can get in touch.
What
about those urgent calls from people not in your contacts? You can use the
Repeated Call feature to allow a call through if it is the second one made
within three minutes.
Quick
access to numbers
Find
yourself typing a lot of text and numbers? Do you find switching back and forth
to the numeric keypad time consuming? Press and hold the "123" button
and slide up to the character you want to input then, when you let go, the
standard keyboard will return.
Noise
cancellation
Prior
to iOS 7.1 the noise cancellation feature was only available to iPhone 5S
owners. Now Apple has made that feature accessible to all.
Go
to Settings > General > Accessibility and switch on Phone Noise
Cancelation.
Invert
Colors
Spend
a lot of time looking at your iOS device in low-light? Invert the screen colors
for more comfortable viewing.
To
do this click Settings > General > Accessibility and turn on Invert
Colors.
Another
tweak you can make to make the interface easier on the eyes is to go to
Settings > General > Accessibility > Increase Contrast and toggle the
options present there.
Bring
back the UI elements
One
of the biggest visual changes that Apple introduced in iOS 7 was to throw out
the old on-screen metaphors for buttons, switches and dials. While this wasn't
a problem for some user, there are those who'd prefer to have their buttons,
switches and dials look lie the once did. In iOS 7.1 Apple gave people a way to
bring these visual elements back.
If
you're one of those people who want them back go to Settings > General
>Accessibility and turn on Button Shapes.
Quick
access to numbers
Find
yourself typing a lot of text and numbers? Do you find switching back and forth
to the numeric keypad time consuming? Press and hold the "123" button
and slide up to the character you want to input then, when you let go, the
standard keyboard will return.
AirDrop
AirDrop
is a great way to share files with other iPhone and iPad (not all devices are
compatible) users using Wi-Fi and Bluetooth (both need to be enabled for it to
work).
Swipe
up from the bottom of the screen to bring up Control Center and tap on AirDrop.
Here you can choose to make your device discoverable for Contacts Only or
Everyone or turn it off completely in here. When you choose someone to share
with, or they choose you, there’s a notification giving you a preview of the
file and the option to deny or accept the transfer.
