Many people use gadgets without knowing how many useful additional functions they have. If you’re one of those, keep a selection of cool features on your iPhone that you probably won’t use.
Several of my friends knowingly don’t want to switch from Android smartphones to iPhone due to the inconvenient iOS software.
His decision may change the second generation of the budget iPhone SE smartphone, introduced by Apple. In fact, $ 399 for a new iPhone with Apple’s high-end processor is a pretty attractive proposition, especially for those who love the classics.
Admittedly, Apple’s proprietary software still has nowhere to go, and Android Church Adventists will remain true to its system, which can always install broken apps and tune everything into a smartphone, down to system sounds like shotgun burgers.
IOS also has some cool features that can make your life easier to know. Let’s talk about some of them.
Create a GIF from a video
The dream of any Instagram geek is to quickly create GIFs from short videos. And it is advisable that you do not download cheap applications with tons of advertising. In addition to the features of Instagram itself and adding live photos to new iPhones, you can independently create a built-in GIF tool.
With the iOS 12 update, all iPhones have a new shortcut or team app, formerly called Workflow. To create a team with GIF animation, simply type “Video to GIF” in the application and add that command in the library.
Clicking on it will open all available videos on your smartphone and the ability to perform animations of any length without quality loss at the touch of a finger.
With Shortcut, you can also configure other useful commands, such as saving battery, detecting other iPhones, downloading YouTube videos and more.
Make a PDF document from a web page
For me, it’s a more useful feature that can help you get started creating a PDF from any text document or web page.
To create such a file, you just need to take a screenshot of the page you need, go to the edit mode of the received image and click the “full page” icon at the top of the screen.
The created PDF document can be easily expanded and works with documents of any other format, as well as email or web pages.
However, if you want to make a PDF from the page of a site, it is only possible in the Safari browser. This is the case if someone’s iPhone has a different browser installed for unknown reasons.
Quick Wi-Fi and Bluetooth setup
Another useful feature that is only available after updating iPhone to iOS 13: Apple’s new software finally brings Wi-Fi and Bluetooth settings to the control panel.
Now you don’t need to enter the basic settings of your phone to connect to the desired Wi-Fi or choose a wireless headset.
On the updated iPhone, open the control panel (swipe down from the top right of the screen) and pinch one of the Wi-Fi, mobile, or Bluetooth icons.
The system automatically opens the connection settings you need.
The new feature will make life easier for wireless headphone owners and those who constantly roam shopping malls with Wi-Fi.
Set a time for “do not disturb” mode
Another feature of the shortcut that is worth talking about separately is setting a specific time for “do not disturb” mode.
In the current information flow, this mode is necessary because it allows you to drop all messages and calls, but at the same time it saves the basic functions of the phone, which cannot be done in airplane mode.
But sometimes you can forget to activate this mode and miss important information or a call. Therefore, on devices with iOS 12 or higher, the shortcut mentioned above allows you to create a command to enable “do not disturb” mode for a certain period of time.
To configure this mode, you need to select the appropriate widget in the app and set the number of minutes and seconds during which you want to stay without the annoying sounds of the smartphone.
Then you can activate this function for a specific time with a single touch of a new widget. Ideal to use at night or during dinner so as not to exhaust yourself and your loved ones with your smartphone.
Games and quick responses in iMessage
Finally, for fun: Few people know that Apple’s iMessage text messaging app lets you play games in-game.
Just click the App Store button on the iMessage keyboard and type in the Games search menu.
The system will offer you a list of available games that can be played directly in iMessage. A great option for those who like to spend time in transportation for interesting puzzles.
Also, iMessage has a useful function to respond quickly to correspondence. It is enough to pinch the dialog you need and select one of the previously prepared message options. You can create these options yourself.
