Pavel Jelic They say that if you want to claim that you use Apple devices to the maximum, then you need to be able to control keyboard shortcuts and gestures. It is precisely thanks to them that you can significantly facilitate everyday functioning on an iPhone, iPad or Mac. Even today, however, some users have no idea that gestures exist on the iPhone. Most individuals know the basic gestures that are used to control an iPhone with Face ID, and that's where it ends. That is exactly why we have prepared this article for you in our magazine, in which we will take a look at 10 lesser-known iPhone gestures that you may not have known about. The first 5 gestures can be found directly in this article, the next 5 can be found in our sister magazine, see the link below.

Flying around the world with Apple Virtual trackapd
If you write some long text on your iPhone that must be grammatically correct, there is a relatively high probability that autocorrection will fail, or that you will make a mistake. In this case, most users just tap their finger invisibly where the error is to place the cursor there and fix it. But what are we going to lie to ourselves - this procedure is really complicated and you rarely hit the right spot with your finger. But did you know that you can use a virtual trackpad? You activate it on iPhone XS and older (with 3D Touch) by pressing your finger anywhere on the keyboard, na iPhones 11 and later by holding the space bar. The keyboard then becomes invisible, and instead of the letters, a blank area is displayed that serves as a trackpad.

Zoom videos
If you take a photo, you can of course easily zoom in on it afterwards in the Photos application. But few people know that you can zoom in on a video in the same way. In this case, zooming in is the same as anywhere else, i.e by spreading two fingers. In the case of video, it is possible to zoom in on the image during playback itself, or you can zoom in before you start playback. Playback zoom remains active, always in the same place and to the same extent. It is possible to move in the image with one finger. So if you're looking for some detail in a video, it's really a piece of cake in Photos in iOS.

Hide keyboard in Messages
In the article from our sister magazine that we mentioned at the beginning of this article, we took a look together at how you can view the time all messages were sent. But the possibilities of gestures within the Messages application do not end there. Sometimes you may find yourself in a situation where you need to quickly hide the keyboard. Most of us in that case pull the conversation up, making the keyboard disappear. But did you know that you don't have to move the conversation at all to hide the keyboard? Simply, in this case it is enough that you they swiped their finger across the keyboard from top to bottom, which immediately hides the keyboard. Unfortunately, this trick doesn't work in other apps.
Shake and back
It may have happened to you that you were in an application on your iPhone and after a certain movement a notification appeared on the display saying something like Undo action. Most users have absolutely no idea what this feature actually does and why it appears. Now when I say that this is one of the very useful features, it is very likely that you will not believe me. For example, while on the Mac you can press Command + Z to undo the last action, on the iPhone this option is simply missing...or is it? On the iPhone, you can undo the last action right now by shaking the device, after which information about the cancellation of the action will appear on the display, where you only need to tap on the option to confirm Cancel action. So the next time you accidentally overwrite something or delete an e-mail, remember that you just shake your iPhone and cancel the action.

Range
The iPhone 12 Pro Max is currently one of the largest iPhones ever introduced – specifically, it has a 6.7″ display, which was practically considered a tablet just a few years ago. On such a large desktop, you can manage relatively enough, in any case, practically all users will agree with me that it is no longer possible to control such a giant with just one hand. And then what about women who have much smaller hands compared to men. But the good news is that Apple thought of this too. Engineers specifically added the Reach feature, which moves the top half of the screen downwards so you can reach it more easily. It is enough to activate the range place your finger about two centimeters from the bottom edge of the display, and then swipe your finger downwards. If you are unable to turn on Reach, you must activate it in Settings -> Accessibility -> Touch, where activate with the switch Range.

If possible, next time I will ask you to make one page of each sentence. It will be more pleasant to read...
Hello, pagination for these types of articles seems much clearer to us in the editorial office. For now, you are the first to complain. Maybe you don't like the change, but unfortunately, we can't please everyone in life. Have a nice day.
It's interesting that I observe people on it in practically all discussions, where journalists introduced it but you didn't notice ;)
I really don't know what you find clear about the fact that because of 5 sentences a person has to find several pages of ballast and advertisements.
I also agree that the pagination is not pleasant to read and often discourages me from reading the whole article.
So it's clear to everyone that each page has new ads. There's no other point... it reads like shit, it looks like shit, I'm blocking partisan articles straight away...
And now some really interesting news? :-)
You can read the news on our sister site letemsvetemapplem.eu. At Jablíčkář, we mainly focus on tips and tricks, comments, instructions and possibly some of our own creations - even during the week there are three news from the world of Apple every day.
And on top of that, it doesn't mean that just because you know about some things, other users who may not be so experienced also know about them.

Hello, the paginated article is design waste.
I understand that they have to make money on the site, but over the past few years it has become a visual mess, to say the least. I enjoy reading the articles less and less, if only because of how confusing it all is.
