In addition to calling and writing, it stands iPhone for example, the role of camera, alarm clock, calendar, notepad, etc., which is priceless.

Tap on the back
The latest iPhones have a total of three buttons – specifically, those for adjusting the volume and turning the phone on/off. However, there's been a feature in iOS for a while now that lets you add two extra buttons to your iPhone 8 and later. Of course, two new buttons will not appear out of nowhere on the body of the phone, but even so, this function can make life easier for many users. Specifically, we are talking about the possibility of controlling the device by tapping on its back. This feature has been available since iOS 14 and you can set it to perform an action when you double or triple tap the back. There are countless of these actions available, from simple to more complex. You can set the Tap on the back function in Settings → Accessibility → Touch → Back Tap, where you then choose tap type a action.

Then all you have to do is list the specifics click on the device or object, and then open the section Notify about forgetting, where you can activate the function and, if necessary, set it.

Change the time and date the picture was taken
When you capture a picture with an Apple phone or a camera, in addition to saving the picture as such, the so-called metadata is saved in the photo itself. If you hear the term metadata for the first time, then it is data about data, in this case data about a photo. Thanks to metadata, for example, you are able to read from a photo, for example, when, where and with what it was taken, how the camera was set and much more. Until recently, if you wanted to change metadata on images, you needed a third-party application to do so. However, you can currently edit the metadata of photos directly in photos, and that you are you click on the picture, and then tap at the bottom of the screen icon ⓘ. Subsequently, in the interface with open metadata, click on in the upper right part Edit. After that you are able to change the time and date the picture was taken, together with time zone.

Change default apps
In iOS, until recently, we did not have the option to change the default applications at all - for managing e-mails, the default application was the one called Mail, the web browser was automatically set to Safari. The good news is that users can currently change some of the default apps in iOS. For example, if you are a Google supporter and use Gmail or Chrome to manage your e-mails and surf the Internet, then setting these applications as defaults is definitely useful. In this case, you just need to go to the native application Settings, where you go down a piece below to application list third side. Here you are gmail a Chrome search for a click on them. AT Gmail then select an option Default mail application, where Gmail select u Chrome then tap on Default browser and select Chrome. Of course, you can also set other applications as default this way.

Playing background sounds
Each of us needs to calm down now and then - we can use different sounds that play in the background for this. If you wanted to play such sounds on your iPhone, you had to download a third-party application that made them available to you. However, several of these sounds are also available directly in iOS. To start them, just go to Settings → control center, where in the category Additional controls click on the + icon at the element Hearing. Then open the control center, where you click on the added Hearing element (ear icon). Then tap Background Sounds at the bottom to start playback.

Easy iPhone acceleration
Apple operating systems are full of all kinds of animations and effects that are literally delicious for the eyes. They make systems look really good and work better. Believe it or not, even rendering such an animation or effect consumes some power, in addition, the execution of the animation itself takes some time. This can be a problem especially on older devices that are already slower and can't keep up - every bit of performance available is useful here. Did you know that you can disable the display of animations, effects, transparency and other visually nice effects to speed up your iPhone? Just go to Settings → Accessibility → Motion, where activate function Limit movement.

Entering time data
Have you been among the users of Apple phones, and thus of the iOS operating system, for several long years? If so, you probably remember from iOS 13 how you used to enter time data here, for example in the Calendar or Clock applications. Specifically, you were presented with a rotating dial interface every time, which is similar to the dials on old phones. By swiping your finger up or down, you could set the time. In iOS 14, Apple came up with a change and we started to enter the time data classically using the keyboard. In most cases, users were not enthusiastic about this change, but they hardly got used to it, so in iOS 15 the rotating dial from iOS 13 is back again. the rotating dial is tapped with a finger, which brings up the keyboard and you can easily enter the time in this way as well.
Change the text size in the application
Within the entire iOS operating system, we can change the font size - this is a feature that has been available for a long time. This will be appreciated both by the older generation, who have difficulty seeing, and by the younger generation, who can display more content by reducing the font size. But the truth is that in some situations you might want to change the font size only in a specific application and not in the whole system. This function is newly available in iOS, so it is possible to change the font size in each application separately. To execute, you must first go to Settings → Control Center, where add a Text Size element. Then move to application, where you want to change the font size, and then open the control center. Click here element to change font size (aA icon), select the option at the bottom Just [app name] and finally using adjust the size of the slider.

Hide album Hidden in Photos
As you probably know, the Photos application also includes a Hidden album, in which you can save any photos that you do not want to be displayed in the photo library. The problem, however, is that the Hidden album continues to show up at the bottom of the Photos app, so anyone can click on it and easily view the photos. It would be ideal if we could lock the Hidden album, either with a code or using Touch ID or Face ID. But for now, we have to settle for simply hiding this album. So if you would like to hide the Hide album in Photos, just go to Settings → Photos, where (de)activate possibility Album Hidden. In addition, you can set the height as well (not) showing shared albums and other options.
Adding a magnifying glass
If you would like to zoom in on something on your iPhone, you will most likely use the Camera. However, the zoom option is relatively small when taking photos, so it is necessary to take a picture and then zoom in on it in the Photos application. However, this is an unnecessarily lengthy process. Did you know that there is a "hidden" app called She Wolf, which you can use just to zoom in real time? It is only necessary that you activate the display of the Magnifier application, which you do by going to Settings → Accessibility → Magnifier, where option activate. After that, you just need to go back to the home screen, the app Land they launched and rushed to approach.
