2 new iOS 16 features that will literally just drain your iPhone battery

 If your iPhone keeps freezing, it’s time to make some changes. Maybe you need to charge it differently with the proper cable, or invest in a decent power bank that allows you to charge your iPhone from anywhere without relying on a wall outlet. You can also turn on Low Power Mode permanently or put iPhone in Airplane Mode to help preserve the small battery you have.

Not all battery-saving tips are obvious, though, and if you’re running iOS 16, there are some new ways to help you extend the life of your iPhone’s battery. Below, we’ll cover two new features in iOS 16 that both drain your iPhone’s battery to varying degrees, and how to turn them off to improve battery life.

Remove widgets from lock screen

All widgets on the lock screen force your app to run automatically in the background, constantly fetching data to update the information the widget displays, such as sports scores or the weather. And because of your widgets, these apps are constantly running in the background, which means they’re constantly draining battery power.

If you want to help save some battery on iOS 16, your best bet is to avoid widgets on the lock screen. The easiest way is to switch to another lock screen profile – press your finger on the existing lock screen and swipe around to select a lock screen profile without any widgets. However, if you just want to remove widgets from an existing lock screen, press on the lock screen, tap Customize, select the lock screen option, tap the widget box, and then tap the “-” button on each widget to delete them.

Keep haptic keyboard feedback off

Surprisingly, the keyboard on the iPhone has never had the ability to vibrate as you type, something recently added on iOS 16 called haptic feedback. Rather than just hearing a click, haptic feedback provides vibrations to each keystroke, providing a more immersive experience as you type. However, according to Apple, the same feature may also affect battery life.

According to this Apple support page about the keyboard, haptic feedback “may affect iPhone battery life.” There’s no specifics on how much battery life the keyboard feature consumes, but it’s best to disable this feature if you want to save battery.

Fortunately, it’s not turned on by default. If you enabled it yourself, go to Settings > Sounds & Haptics > Keyboard Feedback and turn off Haptics to turn off haptic feedback for the keyboard.

Although they haven’t been released yet, Live Activity and iCloud Shared Photo Library are two iOS 16 features that can also drain your battery, so keep an eye out for updates to this story on how to disable them.

iOS 16.1: Update your iPhone now to get these new features

 Apple is releasing iOS 16.1, the next iPhone software update, with a host of new features and some bug fixes. This includes a new way to charge your iPhone, using subscription-based Apple Fitness+ without the need for an Apple Watch, updating Dynamic Island for the iPhone 14 Pro, and more.

iOS 16.1, confirmed to launch on October 24, will also be released alongside other software updates, including iPadOS 16.1 and macOS Ventura.

So how to update to iOS 16.1?

To update, your iPhone may have an “Available Software Updates” option at the top of the settings for easy download. If not, you need to go to Settings > General > Software Update.

While iOS 16.1 fixes some bugs, this update includes some more interesting features – especially for those interested in Apple Fitness+, reducing carbon footprints, and live events. Let’s take a look below!

Apple Fitness+ is available to iPhone users

Starting October 24th, Apple Fitness+ will be available to iPhone users to subscribe, even if they don’t have an Apple Watch. It will be fully integrated with the Fitness app. Users without an Apple Watch won’t be able to see metrics like their heart rate and calories on the screen during a workout, but will still be able to follow up.

Clean and energy efficient

A new battery charging feature will be available on iPhone called Clean Energy. Available in Settings and currently only in the US, the feature will “attempt to reduce the iPhone’s carbon footprint by selectively charging low-carbon electricity when electricity is available.” This may result in slower charging, but is designed to reduce your carbon footprint.

Real-time activity of third-party applications

Want to check your sports scores or see your riding distance at a glance? iOS 16.1 brings live events to third-party apps, which allows iPhone users to watch live events directly on their lock screen and, for those with an iPhone 14 Pro or 14 Pro Max, on Dynamic Island.

Live activity will appear at the bottom of the lock screen on iPhone 14 and 14 Max models and earlier, while iPhone 14 Pro models will feature a feature set at the top of the screen to work with the new Dynamic Island.

iCloud Shared Photo Library

iOS 16.1 makes it easy for users to share photos and videos with up to five people with the iCloud Shared Photo Library feature. By setting up a shared gallery, users can allow photos taken by themselves to be sent directly to the gallery, and allow users in groups to add, edit, favorite, caption, and delete photos.

Enter the Home app

Matter, the new smart home connectivity standard, will now be supported in the Home app. This allows a wider selection of smart home accessories to work together, whether it’s Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and of course Apple’s Homekit.

Dynamic Island Reachability Support

For those with an iPhone 14 Pro or 14 Pro Max, iOS 16.1 will bring Reachability support to make one-handed access easier. It lowers the top of the iPhone‘s display by swiping down on the bottom of the screen. This is an optional feature that can be turned on through accessibility settings.

Key Sharing in Apple Wallet

iPhone users will be able to share their car, hotel room and other keys through iOS 16.1’s key sharing feature. This can be shared via messaging apps, including Messages and WhatsApp. What’s more, Apple Card customers will have access to a savings account that will automatically deposit “Daily Cash” cash back rewards into a high-yield savings account.

iPhone 14 battery life results – here are all four models

 If you’re planning to upgrade to one of Apple’s new iPhones, you’ll definitely want to know the iPhone 14’s battery life, and results vary by model. Of course, there are many ways to measure battery life, but we’ll use our own tests to evaluate each phone to see which one is good enough to make our best phone battery life list. Let’s take a look below!

iPhone 14 battery life

In our battery test, the regular iPhone 14 lasted a solid but unobtrusive 9 hours and 28 minutes. We think anything over 11.5 hours is great.

Apple’s 6.1-inch phone has a relatively small 3,279 mAh battery, but it actually outpaces the Galaxy S22’s larger 3,700 mAh battery, which has a runtime of 8:02.

The Google Pixel 7 has an average battery life of 7 hours and 14 minutes, which is a sizable 4,355 mAh battery. So overall, the iPhone 14 beats the smaller flagship phones in terms of battery life.

iPhone 14 Plus battery life

Apple dropped the iPhone mini model from the iPhone 14 Plus lineup this year, and it’s proving to be a good option for those looking for a big screen and long battery life at a low price.

The iPhone 14 Plus and its 4,325 mAh battery lasted up to 11 hours and 57 minutes of web browsing over a 5G network. That’s more than enough for our best phone battery life list, and it’s significantly higher than the 10:26 result from the Galaxy S22 Plus’ 4,500 mAh battery. So you get about 1.5 hours more battery life compared to a phone of the same size from Samsung.

The Pixel 7 Pro didn’t even come close, as it averaged just 7:54 in the 5 battery tests, and that’s using a 5,000 mAh battery.

iPhone 14 Pro battery life

The iPhone 14 Pro’s 3,200 mAh battery drained in 10 hours and 13 minutes, compared to 9:28 for the regular iPhone 14 and its 3,279 mAh battery.

Now, you might be wondering why when the iPhone 14 Pro has the same size display and the iPhone 14 Pro has a slightly smaller battery, they last longer than the regular iPhone 14. I have several theories.

First, the iPhone 14 Pro has a more efficient 4nm A16 Bionic processor, while the iPhone 14 has an older A15 Bionic chip. The iPhone 14 Pro can dynamically adjust its screen refresh rate from 120Hz to 1Hz, while the iPhone 14 stays at 60Hz. When the action on the screen is static, dropping to 1Hz can improve battery life.

iPhone 14 Pro Max battery life

When it comes to battery life, the iPhone 14 Pro Max is the clear champion. Its 4,323 mAh battery lasted an epic 13 hours and 39 minutes on average. That’s more than 3 hours more than the 10:18 runtime of the Galaxy S22 Ultra’s 5,000 mAh battery.

This 6.7-inch iPhone should easily last you a day or more without recharging. It even outlasted the similarly sized iPhone 14 Plus by about 1.5 hours.

Pixel 7 Pro vs iPhone 13 Pro Max: Google’s new flagship faces old rivals

 The Google Pixel 7 Pro is finally here, and we have a new high-end flagship contender for 2022. But how does it compare to one of the best top phones of 2021, the iPhone 13 Pro Max?

While you might think of the iPhone 14 Pro Max as a natural, more contemporary competitor, it’s significantly more expensive than the Pixel 7 Pro. Will the iPhone 13 Pro Max be a better value option? Let’s take a look at the difference between them!

Pixel 7 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max prices and availability

The Pixel 7 Pro will be available on October 13, 2022. Pricing starts at $899 for the 128GB model.

The iPhone 13 Pro Max will be released on September 24, 2021. At launch, the 128GB model was priced at $1,099.

Pixel 7 Pro vs iPhone 13 Pro Max design comparison

Google‘s unique camera visor is back for another year, spanning from one edge of the phone to the other. The 2022 model makes that visor a shiny piece of aluminum, rather than glass, and now appears to emerge from the edge of the device.

The Pixel 7 Pro is a classic kit. Its greenish-gray hue matches perfectly with the gold bezel and camera module. You can also get snow and obsidian options if you want.

Apple’s color options for the 13 Pro Max include Graphite, Gold, Silver, Sierra Blue, and Alpine Green.

At 162.9 x 76.55 x 8.9 mm, the Google Pixel 7 Pro is taller, narrower and thicker than the iPhone 13 Pro Max at 160.8 x 78.1 x 7.65 mm. At 212 grams, the iPhone 13 Pro Max is also light at 238 grams.

Both phones are IP68 certified, but the iPhone 13 Pro Max is tested to withstand greater depths, has a more scratch-resistant ceramic shield covering the display, and a better-quality stainless steel bezel. The Pixel 7 Pro features Gorilla Glass Victus on the front and back, and aluminum rims.

Pixel 7 Pro vs iPhone 13 Pro Max display comparison

Both phones feature 6.7-inch OLED displays with a variable 120Hz refresh rate that can be dropped to 10Hz.

However, the Pixel 7 Pro’s screen is sharper, with a 1440 x 3120 (QHD+) output that compares favorably to the iPhone 13 Pro Max’s 1284 x 2778 resolution. Google’s screen has also gotten brighter, offering a peak brightness output of 1500nits instead of the iPhone’s 1200nits equivalent. Google is also offering an in-display fingerprint sensor option to complement the new facial recognition system, an option Apple continues to resist.

Pixel 7 Pro vs iPhone 13 Pro Max camera comparison

The Pixel 7 Pro features a 50MP main camera sensor, a 12MP ultra-wide sensor, and a 48MP telephoto sensor with OIS.

Apple’s iPhone 13 Pro Max offers three 12MP sensors, with the main sensor backed by a more advanced sensor-shift stabilization system. Telephoto is supported by normal OIS, just like the Pixel.

Google wins at telephoto, not necessarily because of the higher pixel count, but because it can reach 5x optical zoom. Apple’s telephoto can only extend to 3 times. Beyond this level of optical zoom, the Pixel 7 Pro can reach a digital zoom range of 30x, while the iPhone 13 Pro Max can only reach 15x.

Both ultrawide sensors support macro shots, which is an interesting parallel via a dedicated auto mode.

Pixel 7 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max specs and performance

The Pixel 7 Pro runs on Google’s new Tensor G2 processor, which isn’t much of an improvement over the Pixel 6 Pro’s Tensor chip.

It still lags far behind the iPhone 13 Pro Max and its A15 Bionic chip in raw CPU and GPU output, although the latter chip itself has been replaced.

What Google will point to in Tensor G2, however, is its advanced machine learning capabilities. It supports unique features like real-time voice transcription, as well as supernaturally clear voice calls and the aforementioned photo deblurring. Google also claims the new processors are more power efficient than before. It’s manufactured using the 4nm standard, which is more efficient than the 5nm production method Apple used on the 13 Pro Max.

Apple offers four storage options: 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB. Google only offers 128GB, 256GB and 512GB to choose from.

Pixel 7 Pro vs iPhone 13 Pro Max battery comparison

The Pixel 7 Pro has a 5,000mAh battery, which is significantly larger than the 4,352mAh battery in the iPhone 13 Pro Max.

Apple’s systems are traditionally more frugal, so a direct comparison of battery size is meaningless. The iPhone 13 Pro Max can handle a full day of intensive use with a third of the tank remaining.

Google is apparently closing that gap with the Pixel 7 Pro. Its new Tensor G2 chip is more efficient, and Google claims the 7 Pro can last up to 24 hours on a single charge. The company has also implemented a new extreme power saving mode in which the phone can reportedly last a full 72 hours.

Wired charging speeds on both phones are impressive. The iPhone 13 Pro Max and Pixel 7 Pro top out at just 23W.

iOS 16 just got Google Maps lockscreen widgets — here’s how to add them

 If you didn’t already know, Apple added the ability to add a handful of widgets to the lock screen as part of its massive iOS 16 lock screen customization update. Third-party apps are just starting to introduce their own lock screen widgets, Google has added these for Gmail, Chrome, Google Drive and Google News, and now we have new widgets for Google Maps and regular Google apps .

You can choose between two types of lock screen widgets. The first is for frequent travel and acts as a shortcut to one of your favorite locations. Another is a quick search option that quickly scans your area for a specific type of business or service, similar to the chip you’ll find at the top of your Google Maps home screen.

As lock screen widgets, these buttons will be available when you wake your iPhone and are on the relevant lock screen. If you own an iPhone 14 Pro or iPhone 14 Pro Max, you’ll be able to access widgets from the always-on display at any time.

While Apple would no doubt prefer you to use its own Maps app, the truth is that Google Maps is just as widely used on the iPhone, if not more. Additionally, Apple Maps doesn’t currently offer a lock screen widget, which means if you want the fastest way to map your way home or to a nearby coffee shop, Google Maps is your best bet.

If you want to add these Google Maps lock screen widgets to your own iPhone, you can follow the steps below.

How to Add the Google Maps Widget to Your Lock Screen in iOS 16

1. Sign in to the App Store to make sure the Google Maps app is up to date. You are looking for 6.40 or later, otherwise you won’t have any widgets.

2. In order for the iPhone to recognize that new widgets are available, please open the Google Maps application at least once before attempting to add a widget.

3. By tapping and holding the lock screen with the phone unlocked, or by opening the lock screen customization through the settings menu. Click Customize, then Lock Screen to get to where we can add widgets.

4. Tap the box below the clock to open the widget of your choice, then scroll down to Google Maps and tap it.

5. Now select the “Frequent Travel” or “Search” widget and tap or drag it to snap it into place.

6. The “Frequent Travel” widget defaults to your home address and the “Search” widget defaults to the Google Maps search box. If you want to change it, click on the widget when it’s in place and choose a new option from the menu that appears.

7. After sorting, tap Done in the upper right corner to confirm your location. You are all done!

iPhone users with PCs can now access photos and videos through the Windows 11 Photos app – here’s how

 If you have an iPhone and PC, it’s now easier and faster to access photos and videos from your Apple devices. A PC isn’t the only place you can access your iPhone content right now; you can also interact with your photos and videos using any Xbox device, such as the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S. You might be wondering, “This is great news! But how do I get started?” Luckily, we have a step-by-step guide on how to do it.

How to sync your iCloud photos and videos with the Windows 11 Photos app

There’s no way, but if you want to access your iCloud content on your PC, you’ll have to upgrade to Windows 11 (here’s how to install Windows 11). Once you’re ready for Windows 11, follow the instructions below to access your iPhone’s photos and videos on your PC.

1. Click the Microsoft Store icon on the Windows 11 desktop taskbar.

2. Type “iCloud” in the search bar and press Enter. This should open the iCloud for Windows app.

3. Click Get.

4. After installation, click Libraries.

5. Scroll down to iCloud, and then click Turn On.

6. You may receive a message: “Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device?” Click “Yes”.

7. Enter your Apple ID and password.

8. For 2FA, you will be asked to enter a verification code sent to your Apple device.

9. After verification, the iCloud app will appear. Click Apply.

10. Next, click on the Photos app on the taskbar and you should see your iCloud photos and videos fully integrated with your Windows content by scrolling through the Favorites tab.

iPhone 14 Plus vs iPhone 14 Pro Max – which iPhone would you choose?

 This iPhone 14 Plus vs iPhone 14 Pro Max comparison will help you decide which big-screen iPhone is best for you. The iPhone 14 Plus and iPhone 14 Pro Max are both among the best phones out there, offering large 6.7-inch OLED displays, plenty of speed, and great cameras — but in many ways they’re very different.

So which oversized iPhone is right for you and your budget? Let’s break down the biggest similarities and differences between the two best iPhones you can buy.

iPhone 14 Plus vs iPhone 14 Pro Max: Prices

The iPhone 14 Plus starts at $899 for 128GB of storage. That’s $100 more than the 6.1-inch iPhone 14. But it’s also $200 cheaper than the iPhone 14 Pro Max. The iPhone 14 Plus costs $999 for the 256GB version and $1,199 for the 512GB version.

The iPhone 14 Pro Max 128GB starts at $1,099/£1,199/AU$1,899. You can upgrade to 256GB for $1,199. It’s $1,399 to upgrade to 512GB, and $1,599 for 1TB.

iPhone 14 Plus vs iPhone 14 Pro Max: Design and Colors

The iPhone 14 Plus is an immediate winner in this category because it’s relatively light. The phone measures 6.33 x 3.07 x 0.31 inches and weighs just 7.16 ounces, while the iPhone 14 Pro Max measures 6.33 x 3.05 x 0.31 inches and 8.47 ounces.

The iPhone 14 Plus comes in Midnight, Purple, Starlight, Blue and Red. Pro Max gives you fewer options: Space Black, Silver, Gold and Deep Purple.

iPhone 14 Plus vs iPhone 14 Pro Max: Displays

The iPhone 14 Plus’ 6.7-inch OLED display is excellent. It’s bright, colorful, and offers wide viewing angles. In fact, this panel has slightly better color reproduction and color accuracy than the iPhone 14 Pro Max.

However, the iPhone 14 Pro Max’s ProMotion display is more versatile for two reasons. For one, you get refresh rates up to 120Hz, which makes for smoother scrolling and animations while gaming.

The iPhone 14 Pro Max also gives you an always-on display, so you can quickly scan the time, battery life, notifications and even widgets without unlocking your phone. Additionally, the iPhone 14 Pro Max’s panel can get brighter in direct sunlight. We saw a maximum brightness of 1,565 nits compared to 1,100 nits on the iPhone 14 Plus.

iPhone 14 Plus vs iPhone 14 Pro Max: Cameras

Both the iPhone 14 Plus and Pro Max benefit from camera upgrades like the Photonic Engine, which improves the low-light performance of the lens, and a 12MP front-facing camera with faster aperture and autofocus for better-looking selfies.

Other shared camera features include new Action Mode video for more stable action shots of subjects while moving, and higher-resolution 4K Movie Mode video.

However, the iPhone 14 Pro Max offers photographers several key advantages, including a new 48MP primary sensor. The new camera lets you shoot ProRAW images in 48MP resolution, so you can reframe or crop photos like never before on iPhone, while still retaining a high level of detail.

iPhone 14 Plus vs iPhone 14 Pro Max: Performance

Although the iPhone 14 Plus uses the old A15 Bionic chip borrowed from the iPhone 13 Pro series. In terms of sheer performance, it still packs all the best Android phones out there, and the phone is very responsive when playing games or jumping between apps.

The iPhone 14 Pro Max is the faster phone overall, thanks to its updated 4nm A16 Bionic chip. Benchmark results mostly support this.

The iPhone 14 Pro Max should also be a better choice for intense gaming, as it clocked 74 fps on 3DMark Wild Life Unlimited, compared to 69 fps on the iPhone 14 Plus. Surprisingly, the Pro Max was a bit slower than the Plus when transcoding 4K video clips to 1080p using the Adobe Premiere Rush app.

iPhone 14 Plus vs iPhone 14 Pro Max: Battery life and charging

Both the iPhone 14 Plus and iPhone 14 Pro Max offer great battery life. In fact, both can last long enough on a charge to make our best phone battery life list. But the Pro Max lasted longer in our tests.

On the Tom’s Guide battery test, which includes continuous web surfing at 150 nits of screen brightness, the iPhone 14 Plus lasted an excellent 11 hours and 57 minutes. By comparison, the iPhone 14 Pro Max lasted longer at 13 hours and 39 minutes.

Charging a depleted iPhone 14 Pro Max, we charged only 42% in 30 minutes. The iPhone 14 Plus achieved a higher 46% in the same amount of time using the 20W Apple USB-C charger.

Apple’s iOS 16.1 public beta begins rolling out: here are 5 exciting features

 Apple’s iOS 16.1 is the next update to its latest operating system, and a public beta of the same has already started rolling out. Developer beta is already available. If your iPhone is running the beta version of iOS 16, the update should be visible in the Software Updates section. Apple tends to roll out new features with every additional update to iOS, and the same goes for iOS 16.1. Let’s take a look at 5 exciting features below!

Battery percentage adjustment

Perhaps one of the most noticeable changes on iOS 16 is the new battery icon, which finally shows the percentage. It was already great, but iOS 16.1 now enhances it a little by making the text larger and therefore more readable. Some iPhone models like the iPhone XR, 12 mini, and 13 mini were left out of the battery percentage party, presumably because of their smaller displays. The iOS 16.1 update now supports these models as well, meaning all iPhones running the latest version of the operating system can now benefit from the feature.

Clean energy charging

By default, Clean Energy Charging selectively charges when low-carbon electricity is available to reduce your carbon footprint. Leaving it on won’t affect how you use your phone, though, as Apple says your iPhone “learns from your daily charging routine to fully charge it before you need to use it.” This can be accessed from Settings > Battery > Battery Health & Charge > Clean Energy Charge to access this feature.

Live event

Live Activity displays real-time information from apps in dynamic notifications, and iOS 16.1 is finally here. This feature was earlier available to developers, but not in the public version of iOS 16. Examples include Uber’s use of real-time activity notifications to show the estimated time of arrival of its taxis, and sports apps that display game scores in real-time — right on the lock screen itself.

Fitness+ without Apple Watch

Apple’s home workout program, Fitness+, required an Apple Watch to work prior to iOS 16.1, but that has now been removed. You can now track your workouts from your iPhone too, though you’ll obviously miss health and fitness metrics that require a Watch. Fitness+ service is not yet available in India.

AirPods Pro 2 volume slide switch

If for some reason you find the volume swipe gesture on the AirPods Pro 2 annoying — maybe you’ve been messing up the volume by accident — then you’ll welcome the addition of this feature. iOS 16.1 adds a new switch to the AirPods Pro 2’s settings that you can use to disable this specific gesture. Turn it off and swiping will no longer do anything.

Your iPhone 14 Pro can’t take 48MP photos out of the box — here’s how to change it

 How to enable 48MP camera on iPhone 14 Pro? There’s a good chance you don’t know this is something you even have to enable yourself.

Apple is making a big fuss about the new 48MP main camera for the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, so if you’re lucky enough to get your hands on one while your iPhone 14 order is delayed, you might think you can grab the ultra-detailed footage right now. The catch, though, is that you may need to enable something in settings first, and then also in the Camera app every time you feel like you need to capture up to megapixels.

Enabling 48MP ProRAW mode is well worth it, as it produces photos with incredible detail. Just follow these steps to unlock the full potential of your iPhone 14 Pro camera. Let’s take a look below!

How to enable the 48MP camera on the iPhone 14 Pro

This guide only applies if you own an iPhone 14 Pro or iPhone 14 Pro Max, both of which currently feature a 48MP main camera.

1. Open the Settings app, then scroll down and tap Camera. Next, choose a format from the top of the screen.

2. Tap the Apple ProRAW switch so that it turns green.

3. With ProRAW enabled, click ProRAW Resolution, then select 48MP.

4. Now that the settings are in place, you need to open ProRAW in the camera app. So open the camera app and tap RAW in the top right corner of the screen. Alternatively, enter additional camera settings by tapping the arrow icon in the top middle, then scroll right and tap the RAW button. Then it flashed by!

Unless you’ve also enabled Preserve Camera Settings, you’ll need to turn on RAW every time you reopen the Camera app to capture 48MP images. So don’t forget when you’re ready for your perfect shot!

Before you start, here are a few more tips: Shooting at 48MP fills up your internal storage faster than shooting 12MP ProRAW or regular 12MP photos. Apple estimates that a 48MP ProRAW image takes up about 75 MB, compared to 25 MB for a 12MP ProRAW and 2 MB for a standard 12MP. If you plan to take a lot of photos, it might be worth increasing your iCloud storage.

Also, as the Settings menu warns you, even with this mode enabled, photos taken on telephoto or ultra-wide cameras, night mode photos, macro mode photos, and photos taken with flash are still captured at 12MP. You only get the full 48MP when using the main camera at the default 1x setting.

4 Handy iPhone Tips and Tricks to Make Your Life Easier

 Whether you are a new user or an existing user, you can easily operate your iPhone. In fact, navigating and adapting to iOS is so easy that even your grandparents can master and learn the basics of the iPhone with ease. But while the iPhone is a very user-friendly device, there are a few things you should know in order to get the most out of the new system. So, whether you just bought an iPhone 14 Pro or an iPhone SE, here are some tips and tricks to keep in mind.

Clean up your home screen

No one likes a cluttered home screen on the iPhone, but there’s a tool called App Library that automatically organizes your apps into marked groups to make them easier to find. The idea is that you can find apps with a few swipes and taps. If you have a lot of homepages full of apps, the App Library is for you. You can find the app library by scrolling through the last home screen, just keep swiping left to find it. You don’t have to organize this screen. All your applications will appear in four small boxes. Apps in the App Library can be easily added if they are not on your home screen. Just tap and hold the app icon until you see the context menu, then select “Add to Home Screen”.

Stop apps from tracking your location

Most third-party apps you download on your iPhone track your behavior and preferences for marketing purposes. In fact, some apps can even access your personal information, but luckily the iPhone has the ability to close those apps to see your location. All you need to do is open Settings on your iPhone and tap Privacy, then select Location Services. You can turn off location services entirely by toggling the switch at the top of the screen. However, this also disables the functionality of useful features, such as your weather app and maps. What you can do is view a list of individual apps that can track you. Turn off anything you don’t want to share your location with.

Turn off mobile data when not in use

If you don’t subscribe to an unlimited mobile plan, or are not always within range of a Wi-Fi connection, it’s easy to exceed your monthly mobile data allowance. This is why it is recommended to turn off mobile data when not in use. A simple setting in iOS lets you quickly turn mobile data on or off. On your iPhone, go to Settings and tap Cellular to open the Cellular Data menu. On the Cellular Networks screen, tap the Cellular Data toggle button to turn it on or off.

Take screenshots on iPhone

Want to save a copy of your train ticket, or have another electricity bill? Screenshots are an easy way to save extra copies of important documents. In fact, taking screenshots on iPhone is easy. Taking screenshots on iPhone depends on whether you have a home button. If you have a newer iPhone with Face ID, you can take a screenshot by pressing and holding the side button and the volume up button on the right side of the screen at the same time. For all older models (iPhone 8 and earlier) that still have physical buttons on the front of the phone, you need to hold down the home button and hold down the side button. When you take a screenshot, you’ll see a “flash” on the screen. The screenshot will then appear in your Camera Roll and Screenshots album.
