Using a smartphone has become as natural for us as walking on the street. And almost all of us have become experts in our own right about how we can use these phones.
However, there are some little tricks that can speed up smartphone usage that most people probably don’t know about. In this article, you will find small tips that you can refer to when using iPhone.
1. No need to start from scratch if you got the calculator wrong
Many iPhone users start the whole process over on the calculator after accidentally pressing a number. But you don’t need to start from scratch to fix it.
If you entered a wrong number in the calculator app, just swipe left or right on the wrong one to clear the last wrong digit. You can repeat this as many times as you want until it returns to zero.
2. Swipe up with one tap
If you are navigating a page with long content, it can be annoying to swipe back to the top of the pages with your thumb. Fortunately, tapping the status bar (where the clock and battery percentage appear) at the top of the iPhone’s screen quickly brings you to the top of the page.
This trick can work for browsers like Safari and Chrome, as well as apps in general. You can only use this method when “Dynamic Island” is not used.
3. Turn your spacebar into a trackpad
Your iPhone actually has a hidden trackpad. You can activate this feature by long pressing the spacebar on the keyboard. You can easily navigate through the text without dealing with the tight arrangement between words and letters to correct mistakes.
What’s more, you can also select text by tapping the trackpad with another finger, so you can get the job done without moving your fingers to the top of the screen.
4. You will now write numbers more easily
This tip won’t save you much time, but it can be of some help, even if it’s just a little bit. When typing on the iPhone keyboard, you’re used to manually switching to the number keyboard for numbers. However, we have a tip that can speed up the transition between alphabetic and numbered keyboards.
Instead of touching the ‘123’ part in the lower left corner of the keyboard, you can drag your finger to the number or symbol you want to enter by holding it down. When you let go, the keyboard automatically returns to its original state. It may be a little difficult to get used to at first, as you get used to it, it will make you more comfortable.
5. Get rid of annoying in-app review requests
You may be tired of seeing the annoying “rate this app” message that pops up when you open certain apps. Fortunately, iOS has a setting to eliminate this entirely.
Go to Settings and click on App Store. You will no longer encounter these requests when you remove the in-app ratings and reviews option here.
