Hey iPhone lovers! Ever feel like you could be getting more out of your trusty device? Well, you’re in luck! Here are some cool, lesser-known tricks that can help you unlock new levels of convenience and fun with your iPhone.

1. Back Tap Magic

Did you know you can perform actions just by tapping the back of your iPhone? Head to Settings > Accessibility > Touch > Back Tap and set up shortcuts for double or triple tapping—like taking a screenshot or launching Siri!

2. Custom Vibration Alerts

Create custom vibration patterns for different contacts by going to Contacts, selecting a contact, and choosing the Vibration option. Now, you’ll know who's calling without looking at your screen!

3. Hidden Level Tool

Need to hang a picture? Your iPhone’s hidden level tool has you covered. Open the Measure app, swipe right, and get a perfect alignment every time.

4. Text Replacement Shortcuts

Speed up your typing by setting up text replacement shortcuts under Settings > General > Keyboard > Text Replacement. Phrases like “On my way!” can be shortened to just “omw”.

5. Instant Photo Search in Messages

Searching for that photo your friend sent you months ago? Just pull down in your Messages app, tap the Photos button, and you can see all the images exchanged with that contact.

6. Quick Website Search

Add a website to your search engines for quick queries. Go to Settings > Safari > Search Engine > Other, and add your favourite site for instant searches right from your browser bar.

7. Hide Photos Without Deleting

Keep your photos private by hiding them. Select the photos you want to hide, tap the share button, and choose 'Hide'. They’ll move to a hidden album away from your main gallery.

8. Emergency SOS

Set up Emergency SOS by going to Settings > Emergency SOS. Press and hold the side button and one of the volume buttons to quickly call emergency services and notify your emergency contacts.

9. Customise Control Centre

Make your Control Centre work for you! Add, remove, and organise controls by going to Settings > Control Centre. Add shortcuts like Low Power Mode, Dark Mode, or Voice Memos for easy access.

10. Speak Screen

Have your iPhone read text out loud. Enable Speak Screen in Settings > Accessibility > Spoken Content. Then swipe down with two fingers from the top of the screen to hear the content of the screen.

There you have it—ten tricks that might just make your iPhone even more indispensable! Try them out and see how they change your daily tech routine.
