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.
