In the last article, I introduced the iPhone's input tricks such as "hold blank key" and one-handed keyboard, but the iPhone still has useful functions. So this time, I will introduce five tricks that I want you to put in the manual.
Changing Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connection destinations from the control screen
Using the Internet by connecting to a Wi-Fi spot while out and about has become commonplace. There will be many occasions when the speed ahead is slow, or when Wi-Fi is reselected to connect to a faster one.
In such a case, the general procedure is to access [Wi-Fi] from the [Settings] app and change the connection destination.
However, you can also change the Wi-Fi connection from the control center.
The control center can be called up by swiping up from the bottom center of the screen on iPhones with a home button such as the iPhone SE and 8, and by swiping down from the top right of the screen on iPhones without a home button from iPhone X to 13.
Tap this control center button to turn on airplane mode or turn off Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, but you can actually change the Wi-Fi or Bluetooth destination by holding down the button.
For those who find it troublesome to search for and open the [Settings] app one by one, try changing it from the Control Center.
By the way, you can also open the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth pages of the [Settings] app from this long-press state, so it is useful when you want to visually change the noise canceling or external sound capture mode of AirPods Pro.
Can't shake text on iPhone old?
Many of you know that you can undo text by shaking your iPhone.
As you can see when you try it, the action of "shake the iPhone" is time consuming in the first place, so it is difficult to decide whether to shake the iPhone when you want to cancel or to cancel by operating with your finger.
Actually, from iOS 13 delivered in 2019, this undo operation can be done quickly.
Tap and hold the iPhone screen with three fingers, then swipe left to undo the entered text.
Also, if you accidentally undo or want to cancel the undo, swipe to the right with three fingers to undo the undo, that is, redo.
Turn off the flashlight on your iPhone
Some users of iPhone X, XS, XR, 11, 12, 13 have this option in their bags and pockets. Has anyone ever had trouble with the iPhone flashlight turning on by itself?
iPhone X and later iPhones have a function called "Tap to Wake", which wakes the iPhone by touching the screen of the iPhone in the bag → Flashlight at the bottom left of the lock screen What happens is that something touches the button and activates the flashlight.
The best way to prevent this is to turn off the "tap to wake" feature.
As a procedure, you can turn it off by [Accessibility] → [Touch] → [Tap to wake] from the [Settings] app.
After turning off, you need to lift the iPhone or press the power button to wake it up, but if you're having trouble with the flashlight draining your battery, you should try it. .
You can turn off the flashlight by tapping the flashlight button or by launching the camera app.
Tap the top of the screen to instantly return to the top of the page
Searching in Safari, checking the contents of albums in the Photos app, reading articles in the News app, etc. Ever wanted to go back to the top of the page?
Tap the status bar at the top of the screen.
By tapping the status bar, you can instantly return to the page top of the app you are currently using.
If you've been scrolling back for a long time, please remember this method.
Swipe the dots at the bottom of the screen to move quickly through the home screen
For those who have many apps installed on their iPhone or have many bookmarks of interesting web pages The recommended operation is to swipe the dots at the bottom of the home screen.
Usually, when you want to move the home screen, flicking left and right is common, but you can also move by swiping the dot part.
And it's worth noting that you can move the home screen faster with this dot swipe.
If you have only a few pages on your home screen, the shortcut effect is not so great, but if you have apps and icons spread over many pages, please try the swipe of the dot part.
