    • In the Photos app, you can\u00a0select multiple photos<\/strong>easily by first hitting the \u201cSelect\u201d\u00a0button and then\u00a0sliding your finger<\/strong>\u00a0to the pictures you want to select.<\/li>\n

      2. Use 3D Touch<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

      If you have moved to an iPhone 6s or newer, you are going to love 3D Touch. 3D Touch on the iPhone requires you to press harder on the display to access some cool shortcuts or peek into something. \u00a0However, you will first have to\u00a0enable 3D Touch<\/strong>\u00a0in\u00a0Settings->General->Accessibility<\/strong>. Once enabled, you can 3D Touch on app icons to get quick shortcuts, pictures or notifications to get a peek and do a lot more.<\/p>\n

      3. Enable Night Shift<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

      Smartphone displays and almost all displays out there emit a blue light, which can cause eye strain and affect your sleep at night. Well, iPhones come with a cool Night Shift feature, which when turned on, adds a filter to the display, which makes sure the blue light\u00a0is filtered out and the display is comfortable to look at.<\/p>\n

      You can\u00a0enable Night Shift<\/strong>\u00a0on your iPhone from the\u00a0Control Center<\/strong>\u00a0and you can also schedule it to turn on or off at specific timed. To do it, you can head to\u00a0Settings->Display & Brightness->Night Shift<\/strong>\u00a0and change the schedule timings. Here, you can also adjust the color temperature as well.<\/p>\n

      4. Use Assistive Touch<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

      The iPhone\u2019s home button is pretty\u00a0responsive and things have even improved even further with the\u00a0new capacitive home button\u00a0on the iPhone 7 but pressing the home button for different actions can feel a little slow. Well, iOS includes a very cool Assistive Touch feature, which when enabled, brings a\u00a0floating icon packing\u00a0shortcuts<\/strong>\u00a0to Home, Siri, Notification Center, Control Center and more. You can even create custom gestures, so that you can use them by just tapping a button.\u00a0You can enable Assistive Touch in\u00a0Settings->General->Accessibility<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

      \"105. iPhone Keyboard Tricks<\/strong><\/p>\n

      The iPhone packs in a very sleek keyboard and you can enhance your typing experience with some really cool tricks. For instance, you can create\u00a0text replacement shortcuts<\/strong>, use dictation, enter the domain name faster and more.<\/p>\n

      Also, if you don\u2019t really like the stock iOS keyboard, you can always install\u00a0third party keyboard apps. After you have installed a keyboard app, you will have to go to\u00a0Settings->General->Keyboard->Keyboards<\/strong>\u00a0and tap on \u201cAdd\u00a0New Keyboard<\/strong> \u201c. \u00a0Also, once added, you can\u00a0tap on\u00a0the keyboard and give it \u201cfull access\u201d, so that it can work better.<\/p>\n

      6. Battery Saving Tips<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

      If you are rocking a Plus version of the iPhone, you will love the amazing battery performance and\u00a0if you own a usual iPhone, the battery performance should be just fine. However, there are ways to increase\u00a0battery performance on your iPhone.<\/p>\n

      The first thing you can do is use \u201cLow Power Mode<\/strong> \u201c. While iOS prompts you to enable the Low Power Mode when the iPhone\u2019s battery is at 20% or lower, you can manually enable it in\u00a0Settings->Battery<\/strong>. The Low Power Mode reduces power consumption by disabling background app refresh, Hey Siri, some transitions etc.<\/p>\n

      \"10<\/p>\n

      Also, in the Battery page, you will find a\u00a0list of apps that are consuming the power. You can then disable background app refresh of the most power hungry apps to save some battery. To do so, go to\u00a0Settings->General->Background App Refresh<\/strong>\u00a0and disable the apps that you don\u2019t want to run in the background.<\/p>\n

      \"10<\/p>\n

      7. Try Siri<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

      Chances are, you\u2019ve used Google Now on your Android smartphone. While there\u2019s no doubt that Google Now is a pretty functional virtual assistant, it\u2019s not as sassy as Siri (that changes with\u00a0Google Assistant). Plus, Siri is now way better than it used to be, thanks to\u00a0Apple\u00a0opening\u00a0it up to third party developers. You can use Siri for the usual tasks like making a call, toggle system settings, set alarms or reminders, take note etc. and you can also use Siri to send a WhatsApp message, take an Uber and more.<\/p>\n

      If you did not enable Siri while setting up your iPhone, you can do so in\u00a0Settings->Siri<\/strong>. Here, you can also enable \u201cAllow Hey Siri<\/strong>\u201d to trigger the voice assistant even when your device is locked.<\/p>\n

      \"10<\/p>\n[ad type=”banner”]\n

      8. AirDrop<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

      If you wanted to share files, media, links or anything for that matter from an iPhone to another iPhone, iPad or Mac, you can use the AirDrop feature. You can\u00a0enable AirDrop from the Control Center<\/strong>\u00a0and share files to your iCloud contacts or everyone. When you share something from AirDrop, the\u00a0recipient gets a preview along with a prompt to accept or decline it.<\/p>\n

      \"10<\/p>\n

      The received file is opened in the app\u00a0that you sent it from. AirDrop works when two devices are on the same Wi-Fi network and the feature also uses Bluetooth in case there\u2019s a problem with the Wi-Fi connection.<\/p>\n

      9. Backup your iPhone<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

      You can backup everything on your iPhone to\u00a0iCloud or on your PC or Mac via iTunes. To\u00a0backup your iPhone to iCloud<\/strong>, you can head to\u00a0Settings->iCloud<\/strong>\u00a0and scroll down to find the \u201cBackup<\/strong>\u201d option. Here,\u00a0enable \u201ciCloud Backup\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0or tap on \u201cBack up now\u201d to start the backup process. Do make sure you are connected to a Wi-Fi network and have enough space in your iCloud storage.<\/p>\n

      \"10<\/p>\n

      To\u00a0backup your iPhone via iTunes<\/strong>, open iTunes on your PC or Mac and connect your iPhone.\u00a0Once your device shows up in iTunes, click on the device icon and in the \u201cSummary\u201d page, you will find an option to make a backup of your iPhone on the\u00a0computer. Just click on \u201cBackup Now<\/strong>\u201d to begin the process.<\/p>\n

      \"10<\/p>\n

      The first time your backup your iPhone via iTunes, it might take a while. Once the process is complete, you can check for backups in\u00a0Edit->Preferences->Devices<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

      \"10<\/p>\n[ad type=”banner”]\n

      Everything on the iPhone is backed up, so in case you need to factory reset the device, you can do so and then, restore the backup to get your iPhone\u00a0with all the data and the apps.<\/p>\n

      10. Force restart your iPhone<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

      There\u2019s a perception that iPhones don\u2019t\u00a0lag or hang up and it\u2019s exactly that, \u201cperception\u201d! There are times when an iPhone gets stuck and there seems to be no way to get it working. Well, that\u2019s when you can\u00a0force restart your iPhone by\u00a0press holding the Power button and Home key<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
