<\/h3>\nThere\u2019s no denying that iPhones come jam-packed with plenty of amazing features. If you don\u2019t know how to find them, you won\u2019t use them!<\/p>\n
Away from the usual camera, messages and apps \u201d\u201c we\u2019re looking at the handy features that you might not have been aware of before now. Take a look at the best of iOS 11 and what useful features we\u2019ll get with the iOS 12 update!<\/p>\n
<\/h3>\nSharing Wi-fi passwords<\/strong><\/p>\n The more complicated the better when it comes to passwords. Even for Wi-fi passwords \u201d\u201c it\u2019s usually got a strong mix of numbers and letters so it\u2019s not easy to guess. The only thing is it takes forever to sign into a new network!<\/p>\n Fear not, as this is a thing of the past. Now, if your friend has an iPhone (or any device that uses iOS) and tries to connect to the network you\u2019re currently using, iOS will give you a pop up asking if you\u2019d like to share the password with them. The device that’s already connected to the network will need to be nearby and unlocked –\u00a0 just try to connect, get to the screen to enter password and your pal will get the pop up to share the password instead. No more staring at the router, trying to get the longest password ever typed in!<\/p>\n Record your screen<\/strong><\/p>\n This is a great addition if you need to explain a functionality problem \u201d\u201c or if you want to save someone\u2019s video from social media without them knowing!<\/p>\n To set this feature up, go to Settings, then Customise Controls. Screen Recording will be listed so tap on the + symbol beside it. From there, it’ll be added to the control bar you see when you swipe up. To begin recording, just tap on the screen recording symbol – it’s a solid circle with another circle surrounding it.<\/p>\n When you want to record your screen, you\u2019ll get a countdown of three seconds before the recording begins. Then, your phone will record whatever you do and the file will be saved into your photo library. Just tap on the same icon to stop the recording. It\u2019s so easy!<\/p>\n Save Gifs<\/strong><\/p>\n Sure, it\u2019s great having faster processors and an amazing camera but let\u2019s be honest \u201d\u201c how good is it to be able to save Gifs to your phone? It completely changes how you communicate. Say exactly what you mean with a short little image without having to search for it \u201d\u201c it\u2019ll be sitting there waiting for you in your photo library.<\/p>\n All you need to do is touch and hold the image you find on a site or in your messages, and options will appear including ‘Save’ or ‘Save Image’. When you go into your photos, you’ll see the Gifs saved under the ‘Animated’ album.<\/p>\n Great move, Apple.<\/p>\n Screenshot update<\/strong><\/p>\n Screenshots have had an overhaul and are more dynamic than ever before. When you take a screenshot by holding in the home button and off\/on button, the image will appear in the bottom left corner. You can click on it to alter the image and crop it or even open it in another app. To take a screenshot on the iPhone X, you’ll need to hold the volume up button and lock button together.<\/p>\n Once you\u2019re done, iOS will ask if you want to keep the screenshot or delete it straight away.<\/p>\n One handed keyboard<\/strong><\/p>\n Game. Changer. When you only have one hand free, it\u2019s pretty fiddly trying to reply to a message. You end up with a crazy mess of a message that might not even make sense. Not anymore \u201d\u201c the one handed keyboard will make it so much easier to write your greatest thoughts in a coherent way. You\u2019ll be a force to be reckoned with.<\/p>\n To start using the one handed keyboard, just tap on the globe or emoji icon next to the 123 button on your keyboard. Underneath the options like English and Emoji, you’ll see visual keyboards – you can choose your one handed keyboard to be on the right or on the left.<\/p>\n During the Apple Event, it was announced that iOS 12 will roll out on the September 17. You\u2019ve only got a few more days to wait but keep an eye out for these great features.<\/p>\n Do Not Disturb<\/strong><\/p>\n The Do Not Disturb feature is a brilliant \u201d\u201c with iOS 11, you can set your phone to Do Not Disturb while you’re driving to make sure you aren’t distracted.<\/p>\n With iOS 12, you can set Do Not Disturb to end when you leave a certain location. So, you could set it as you go into a big meeting or an activity with your little one.<\/p>\n Screen time<\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s been well documented that the next iOS update will see an inclusion of screen time. This will allow you to monitor the time you spend on your phone (which might produce some scary results) and what you\u2019re using most. It can help to tackle and hopefully manage some screen addictions.<\/p>\n Screen time will have a handy widget that\u2019ll show you clearly and easily how much time you\u2019ve been spending on your phone. You can set allowances too so you can try to crack down on the time you spend aimlessly scrolling through social media.<\/p>\n New accents<\/strong><\/p>\n Admittedly, this isn\u2019t exactly the most helpful update \u201d\u201c but we kind of love it. Siri is getting two new accents on September 17; Irish and South African. Getting Siri to say “Top o\u2019 the mornin\u2019 to ya”<\/em> in an Irish accent might be worth the update alone.<\/p>\n Search Apple Music<\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s an issue everyone faces. You\u2019ve heard a song, loved it but you have no idea what it was called. You only caught a line or so of it so you\u2019re going to rely on that to find the track so you can play it on repeat.<\/p>\n Now, with Apple Music, you\u2019ll be able to find a song through the lyrics. It\u2019ll bring the song up so you\u2019ll find that beloved track in a flash! Well, depending on how well you heard the lyrics\u201d\u00a6<\/p>\n Second face for Face ID<\/strong><\/p>\n If you have been keeping on top of the Apple news, you\u2019ll be aware that Touch ID is becoming a thing of the past. Apple are moving away from the home button so Face ID will be the way to lock your phone.<\/p>\n Slight issue \u201d\u201c what if you aren\u2019t recognised by your phone? You can now include a second face to avoid this kind of mishap. If you do make a considerable change to your appearance, it should bypass any issue so you aren\u2019t locked out of your iPhone!<\/p>\n Upgrading to one of the new iPhones?
