Useful iPhone Tips You Might Not Know

I don't know why I never thought before to automatically set Low Power Mode ON when Wind Down commences and OFF when I wake up.
 
  • Auto Schedule Low Power Mode - You can create a quick shortcut for turning on Low Power Mode when the battery dips to a specific level. In the Shortcuts app, create a new Automation, and start out by choosing "Battery Level." From there, select your desired percent. For the next action, search for and choose "Low Power Mode." Deselect "Ask Before Running," and the next time your iPhone battery drops to the target level, Low Power Mode will activate automatically.

It should be an automatic option when battery life goes under 20%

Yes iOS will suggest it when it goes under 20% but its not an automatic mode, that what i meant
They should forced it and whether user doesnt want it, there will be an option to disable it

Notes app, how about previous it had a share icon tap that and inside was an airdrop icon, well thats gone no more share icon, why remove it ONLY in notes and replace it with some dumb lookin circle icon with dots, wtf is that supposed to indicate. Anyway tap the dumb alien landing icon where is airdrop, nowhere, wtf is there large scan, pin, lock and delete icons, wtf is share or airdrop, ah Send a Copy, ah the old share icon but wait it’s not blue like it is in every other app, wtf is send a copy anyway, ah bravo finally it displays the original sharing banner.
FFS what a PITA all these stupid pointless changes cause nothing but confusion and time wasting.

Swipe to Numbers with Keyboard:
That’s not useful in the slightest, it actually takes longer after holding and swiping up.

What would be more useful is a tip on making the numbers stay visible after typing a space. Many times we need a enter blocks of numbers with spaces between them but hitting space bar always shows the letters again and this is annoying having to tao tao to get the numbers back. Android phone‘s keyboard dont do this.

I have been doing the following for a while:

Hold the number key using left thumb and use the right thumb to do whatever you want and when done, you can release the left thumb.

This removes the extra step of tapping the number key to come back to letters.

Oh man Dan #1 really, just have who you want to air drop something with open the same website, how is that super simple? And then Rave at how fast it is.
It might be just me, but that seems like the dumbest idea. Why not just text it to them

Probably should look into how Snapdrop works. It's P2P and secure/encrypted, and nearby friends will show up automatically just like AirDrop. Guess you haven't tried sending a file too big send via text or email? You'd have to upload it to a site like Dropbox or OneDrive, then find and share the file with your friend. Pretty sure Snapdrop is super fast and simple compared to other alternatives when texting or email won't work.

Am I missing something? My iPhone always activates low power mode when it reaches 20%. Didn’t have to do anything

This is to have it activated automatically at a higher percentage, rather than waiting for it to dip down to 20%.

As I said the first time, it is useless, pointless and make no difference anything else, as soon as you tap the space bar it changes back to letters anyway, so no none of these work to keep the keyboard displaying digits...think about credit card numbers they all have spaces because the digits are in blocks, same with phone numbers.

Not just one more tap, some bizarre icon they created that no other app has, they changed the name and colour of sharing icon called it Send a Copy, put in functions that have nothing to do with sending a copy. There’s loads of space in the Notes app top bar, so sense at all in removing the share icon It doesn't belong in the alien landing pad icon.

I was talking about without spaces, yes. Also, probably calm down a little.

that last one with the Apple Watch as a selfie camera is mind-blowing

No kidding. I record a weekly video with my iPhone, and a number of times it's just stopped recording, and I can't tell why. Having the watch as a viewfinder and a monitor is an incredible little hack, and now I can't wait to try it out.
