iPhone tips, tricks and hidden features

• Quicker Unlock. When the face ID fails and you're stuck on the animation just hit the face id text in the middle of the screen and it will take you directly to the keyboard where you can type in the password.

• Quick recording. When you open the camera app you don’t have to switch to video mode. Hold down the photo button in the photo mode and drag your finger to the right so you can lock in the recording. The phone will automatically switch to the video mode and record normally.

• Quickly sharing screenshot. When the screenshot banner appears press on it and hold. The share window will open up without you having to save the screenshot.

• Mute individual notifications. In the notification center swipe right on the app that you want to mute, select options and choose a time for which you want to mute that app from showing notifications.

• Music timer. Stops music playing with a timer on your iPhone. If you have music playing in the background head over to the clock app and set a timer amount, then at the bottom click “when timer ends” and select stop playing. Now when the timer ends your music will automatically stop playing.

• The back tap. In the settings app, click accessibility, select touch and back tap. Here you can chose what happens when you double or triple tap the back of your iPhone.

• Don’t wait for unwanted calls. If you don’t want to answer the call from someone you don’t have to wait for the call banner to disappear, just swipe it up.

• Drag and drop. You can now drag and drop text, files and photos instead of having to deal with the copy and paste menus on your iPhone.

• Reach the top. If you find it hard to reach the top of your iPhone you can swipe down on the home button and the top of the screen will come down. Now once you press something the iPhone screen will return to it’s default position. Turn on in settings, accessibility, then touch and toggle on readability.
