4 Secret Functions You Never Knew Your iPhone Could Do

2019

article

If you're going to shell out the money for an iPhone, you might as well get
your money's worth by utilizing all of its amazing features. With each new

update comes an array of new functionality, so it can be hard to keep up.
Here are some of the most amazing iPhone functions that you might not know
about.

 

#1 Scan documents in Notes

 

Every day, the need for hard-copy documents dwindles a little more. Even if
you do have a hard copy of a document, you can 

share it via your iPhone

without going through the trouble of getting a third-party app. Since iOS
11, the Notes app provides this handy feature. Open Notes and create a new
note.

In the toolbar, tap on the + sign. One of the menu items that pops up will
be Scan Documents. A camera will automatically pop up and capture a document

you put in its view. You can even capture more than one document. If you're
satisfied with the scan, hit Save, and your scanned document will appear in

a new note. If you want to turn it into a PDF, hit Share, and the option
will come up.

 

#2 Share your Wi-Fi password with one click

 

When you have people over, or you're at someone else' house, it can be
inconvenient to connect to Wi-Fi. This is especially true if the password is
some

long random jumble of letters and numbers, which is often the case. Luckily,
in iOS 11 or later versions, the days of crouching over a wireless router

and squinting is done. You can now 

share Wi-Fi passwords automatically

with others in your contact list. If the password is saved on your phone,
you can share it with others. First, make sure Bluetooth is on both phones
and

that the phones are near one another. The person who wants the password
should go to Settings > Wi-Fi and tap on the network they want to connect
to. The

person who has that password saved will automatically receive a pop-up
asking to share the Wi-Fi, and the password field will fill in on its own.

 

 

#3 Turn your AirPods into hearing aids

 

If you're having trouble hearing, and you own a pair of 

AirPods

for your iPhone 5 or later, you're in luck. It's a feature called Live
Listening. Your AirPods can go into the 

hearing-aid mode

with a few simple clicks. Go to Settings > Control Center > Customize, and
then click Hearing. Now your AirPods magnify people's voices. Even if you
don't

normally need a hearing aid, this can be super helpful in specific
situations, like if you're in a crowded room and want to get a little
clarity about

what the person you're talking to is saying. It works best when the bottom
of your iPhone is facing the person you want to hear, as the technology uses

your iPhone's microphone. It should also be as close as possible to that
person for optimal results.

 

 

#4 Use lyrics to search Apple Music

 

Have you ever wanted to hear a song, but you couldn't remember the name of
the song, or maybe even the musician's name? If you know some of the lyrics,

Apple Music can help you out. Starting with iOS 12, you can 

type in lyrics

in the search bar to find the song. You've always been able to do this with
Google, but it's even more convenient to be able to do it directly in your

music player.
