I’ve spent years collecting iPhone tips. Here are 15 iPhone hints you’ll probably use every day. None of them are particularly hard to find, but all of them make a difference to how you use your Apple smartphone.FlashThis well-known tip means your flashlight will flash when you receive a call. Enable this in Settings>General>Accessibility and toggle LED Flash for Alerts to on (green).Film in landscape modeTaking a video? Turn your iPhone into landscape mode before you begin filming. Not only will you end up with clips that look better on your phone, but when you play them back later using Apple TV, Mac, or iPad, they’ll look better there, too, without that letter box effect. Want to get rid of that effect on clips you’ve already created? I got you covered.Opening apps? Use SiriSiri can do so much. Among its many talents, it will launch any app you have installed on your iPhone; just ask it to “Open [app name].” You can also ask it to open Settings on your behalf. (Here are 21 more ways Siri helps you stay productive). Speakerphone the easy wayWant to call someone on speakerphone? Just ask Siri to dial the number thusly: “Siri, call [name of an active contact from your contacts book] on speakerphone.” Get more iPhone call secrets here.Fingers and thumbs (actually, just thumbs)Enable Reachability in Settings>General>Accessibility and in the future you can make the top part of the screen lower itself to within reach of your thumb at the bottom of the display just by double-tapping the Home button/indicator, or return it to the top of the screen by double tapping once again. iPhone X users will like that they can also access Control Center by swiping up from the lower right of the display in this mode.Refuse the callWhen you receive a call and can’t speak at the time, you may just ignore the ring. But if you’re smart, you’ll use the indicators that appear on the incoming call screen. There you’ll see the name of the contact and a pair of icons. If you tap Message you can choose a text message to send to the caller explaining why you can’t pick up, or tap Remind Me to set a Reminder to call them back.Swift chargingWhen you have only a few moments to charge up your iPhone — you might be about to set off for a meeting — your device will recharge a whole lot faster if you switch it to AirPlane Mode before you connect it to power.
