Iphone tips

If you are fond of watching a video while scrolling through the web or have to make notes while seeing a video, this feature is for you. The feature is currently supported by Apple TV, Safari, Podcasts, FaceTime, Music App, Home, Netflix, and Amazon Prime Video. Once enabled, any video played in a supported app, when minimized, will take the form of a small screen on your iPhone. To further enhance your experience, you can pinch-in and -out to resize the screen or drag it to locate at your preferred location on the screen.

It isn’t very pleasant when you are in the middle of a game or are scrolling through an important draft on your iPhone, and you receive a call. Primarily because the call covers the entire screen. With iOS 14, instead of covering the full screen, you’ll receive incoming call notifications in the form of a banner over the screen’s top. You can enable or disable full-screen calls from the settings app. On the same banner, you’ll have the option to answer or ignore it. You can choose to avoid it by simply sliding up the banner out of the screen.

This is one of the first things you can do to personalize your iPhone Home Screen. You can also zoom in/out the picture for that perfect frame.

• Open the Settings app and tap Wallpaper.
• Tap Choose a New Wallpaper.
• You can use the ones that Apple provides. Or, tap All Photos or one of the albums below to select a picture from your Photos app.
• After choosing a photo, move or zoom in/out to adjust it. You may also choose to enable Perspective zoom. This will move the wallpaper slightly when you tilt your iPhone.
• Finally, tap Set and choose one of the options. Tip: Want more? Here are some of the best wallpaper apps for your iPhone. You may also set Live photos as your wallpaper.

With iOS 14, you can now limit access to the photos. Restrict apps to the limited photos and videos in your gallery by adjusting the particular app’s settings. Another feature linked to photos is that you can add an image or video caption using the camera app itself. The photos and videos we hide in our iPhone go to ‘Hidden Folder.’ However, this folder remains visible amidst other images when using image picker through Facebook, Whatsapp, etc. Now, you can hide the hidden album. Go to Settings → Photos → turn the toggle off for Hidden Album.

Control Center is one easily accessible place for handy buttons like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, music, flashlight, brightness, and more. You can add some other handy buttons to it like Low Power Mode, Music Recognition, Code Scanner, etc.

• Open the Settings app and tap Control Center.
• Under MORE CONTROLS, tap the green plus icon for the desired option.
• Under INCLUDED CONTROLS, touch the three lines icon to rearrange the options.
• Optional: If you use Home accessories, you may turn on the switch for Show Home Controls.

I have different ringtones for different contacts. Even when my iPhone is kept somewhere else, the custom tone easily lets me know who is calling (in most cases). You, too, can start by setting a custom tone for individual contacts like siblings, parents, etc.

• Open the Phone app and tap Contacts.
• Choose the desired contact.
• Tap Edit.
• Tap Ringtone.
• Select a different tone and tap Done. Tap Done once more. Tip: Want to create and set a song as the iPhone ringtone without iTunes or PC? We have you covered.
