10 TIPS TRICKS IPHONE 7

1.FLASHLIGHT INTENSITY ADJUSTMENT, AND QUICKLY TIMER

proving 3D touch is getting more helpful, here are a couple of shortcuts that are easy to miss, but can prove handy. swipe up to access control centre, and hard press on the flashlight, or timer buttons to adjust the brightness or start a press timer respectively.



2.FAT UNLOCK WITH TOUCH ID

touch ID is apple's name for the fingerprint sensor, and it can be used in two different ways to unlock your phone, either a full press or with a light touch . this was also an option on the iphone 6S range and there's a chance the default option will be different to your previous choice. here's how to change it.

• go to setting>accessibillity, then look for the home button option. in there, toggle the switch marked rest finger to open.
• with the switch moved to on , there's no need to press the button to unlock the phone when the lock screen is active. with it off it still requries a press.

3.ENABLE OR DISABLE HAPTICS

on the iphone 7, nearly everything you do will be accompanied by a light buzz or vibration if you use 3d touch a lot, you're probably already familier with this feeling these are your smartphone's system haptics, or haptic feedback which which let you don't like the constant-albeit brief-movements, however, you can turn them off by going to setting>sounds & haptics and toggling the system haptics off.

4.LIFT TO WAKE

if touch ID's super fast unlocking frustrates when you just want to check the time, you will like this trick, like the apple watch , ISO 10 has a raise to wake mode pick up your phone , and home screen light up, without having to press the home button.
it should be swithed on by default, but if not head to setting> display and brightness, and find the raise to wake toggle. turn it on or off depending on your prefernce.


5.BED TIME

 bedtime is another ISO 10 feature that we love, and new i phone 7 owners should definitely try it out. rather than simply setting an alarm to wake up to in the morning, bedtime lets you configure the number of houre you sleep instead, along with an alert to tell you it's time to put your head down at the day  it also tracks your sleep through apple health

open the clock app and select the bedtime mode at the bottom of the display from here chose the amount of sleep you'd like to get and which days you'd like an alarm tap the options button in the top left corner of he display to change the alarm sound, and the reminder time.


6.QUICKLY ADD NEW WIDGETS

apple tweaked the appearance of the today screen in ISO 10 and made widgets more useful than ever there are already a handful of widgets added to the screen by default, but you can easily edit what's there and add new ones. to do so swipe left while on the home or lock screen to bring up the today screen to bring up the today screen. then scroll to the bottom and tab edit to see what other widgets you have at your disposal alternatively, you can press down on an app on your home screen and if it has widgets capabilities a widget in the top- right corner.


7. LOCK CAMERA LENS

this is something only iphone 7 plus owners will be able to take advantage of as it requries having the dual camera on the back. head to setting>photos& camera> record video and toggle the lock camera lens option on . this will keep you from switching between the two lenses on the back while recording video, as well as prevent any flickering that could occour when switching.


8.MARKUP PHOTOS IN IMESSAGE

when you send a picture in the messages app, you have an option to mark up that particular photo to do this attach a picture to your message once the picture is attached, you can tap the picture and it will give you a markup option in the lower- left corner if you select markup you can write text, draw with your finger or use the magnifier.

9.TRACK DOWN APPS THAT ARE DRAINING YOUR BATTERY

apps in ISO are pretty reliable, and they behave well when it comes to battery life however, sometimes there might be a misbehaving app or some setting in ISO that will suddenly start draining your battery . if you are not sure what is causig the sudden drain go to setting>battery, and scroll down, you won't see anything new here untill you tab one of the apps on the apps on the resulting list or the clock icon beside last 7 days now you should be able to see exactly how many minutes or hours an app has been running in the background if you see that an app hasn't been used but has been working in the background for hours then you know which app may be causing an issue

10.VIEW LYRICS IN MUSIC APP

listening to music is one thing, but it never hurts to know what the word actually are while in the music app, tap the now playing section at the bottom to bring up the full song afterward, tap the three dotted lines in the bottom-right corner to bring up another menu, and near the bottom should be an option for lyrics tap that so you can accurately sing along this won't work with every song available on apple music. if the lyrics option isn't there it's because apple has yet to add them.
