The Internet project “Be Mobile” has prepared a guide to the hidden functions of one of the most popular smartphones, the Apple iPhone, which is in demand among users around the world. I think that reading this list will give you a lot of new and useful things.
Do you know all the features of your iPhone? For the most part, yes, you might say. But there are some functions and features that can be activated in a non-standard way. The main thing here is to know where to press and how to shake the device.
The selection will be of interest to both novice users who are just getting acquainted with iOS, and advanced users.
Widget from SocialMart1. Password with letters instead of numbers
id="sub0">
Go to Settings -> Password. Turn off the "Simple Password" option. After this, a window will appear asking you to create a new password using the QWERTY keyboard.
2. Ability to view the time of sending and receiving SMS
id="sub1">
One of the prices we had to pay for the clean design of iOS is total minimalism. By default, the SMS time is not displayed, but if you drag the screen to the left... Isn’t it interesting?
3. Return to one level using a swipe
id="sub2">
iOS 7 added a feature that lets you go back one step using a swipe right gesture from the edge of the screen. There is no need to reach to the upper left corner to the “Back” button. This command simulates a virtual back button to quickly return to the previous menu. The swipe right gesture works in Settings, Messages, Mail, and some other apps.
4. Removing text by shaking
id="sub3">
You can erase text you just wrote by simply shaking your phone. He will offer to delete the written text. If you change your mind, shake it again and put it all back.
5. Calendar detailing in one motion
id="sub4">
Simply turn your iPhone horizontally and your calendar will show you more details about your scheduled events.
6. Quickly View Tweets with Links in Safari
id="sub5">
Safari in iOS 7 lets you quickly view tweets in your feed that contain links. Just launch Safari, click the bookmark button (the book icon) and go to the “@” tab. In this section, you can view the URL in the message feed of the Twitter account added in the OS settings.
7. Hidden level
id="sub6">
Everyone knows that the iPhone has a compass app, but not everyone knows that there is also a level there. You can use the level meter in the compass application, you just need to drag the screen to the left. An additional application will open, very stylish, by the way.
8. Head movement control
id="sub7">
In the Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> Switch Control -> Switches -> Add New menu, there are special options that allow you to configure left and right head gestures to perform specific commands. For example, by tilting your head to the right you can turn up or down the volume, and by making a gesture in the other direction you can bring up the multitasking panel or return to the main screen. The menu is hidden far away in the operating system settings.
9. Camera flash for reminders
id="sub8">
The flash on the back of your iPhone isn't just for taking photos in the dark, it can also be used to signal notifications, just like on most BlackBerry smartphones. To activate the feature, go to general settings, find the “Universal Access” section, and turn the slider to turn on the flash during reminders.
10. One-click continuous shooting
id="sub9">
Hold down the photo key. A counter will appear, and the phone will take a bunch of photos in one session, so you're sure to take the photo that gets the most likes.
11. Taking pictures with the volume key
id="sub10">You can take a photo by pressing the volume key. The key on the headset will also work for this.
12. Smart keyboard
id="sub11">
The keyboard has many small Easter eggs. For example, you can hold down the dot key in the Safari browser and immediately select one of several proposed domains (.com, .net .ru, and so on). Or double-tap the space bar to automatically add a period. Or hold down the hyphen and select a line of the desired length.
13. Personal vibration
id="sub12">
In the Contacts application, you can not only set different ringtones for certain numbers, but also select a special vibration signal. This way you can identify people by vibrations in their pants. How do you like this?
14. “Airplane mode” for fast charging
id="sub13">
In this mode, the iPhone charges twice as fast, which is very useful when time is limited.
15. Child protection
id="sub14">
In the General menu, find the Restrictions tab. There you can block access to the application, purchases in the AppStore, and delete data. You can also disable all in-app purchases with one button. Useful if you have children.
The global difference between iOS and Android lies in the operating system menu. Devices from Apple and other manufacturers display different numbers of icons. And the programs themselves have a different external label. If you decide to make Android look like an iPhone, then this is what needs to be fixed first.
The easiest way to change the appearance of the operating system is to use a launcher. There are a large number of similar applications on Google Play. Basically, they offer a unique menu style that is unlike anything else on the outside. But there are also launchers that copy Apple’s developments.
Attention: the copyright holder regularly complains about such creations of third-party developers. Therefore, they do not stay on Google Play for very long.
We already talk about some of these launchers on the pages of our website. For example, a kind of long-liver is iLauncher - OS 9. The creators of this application regularly update it as soon as a new iOS version is released. The program can work on smartphones with the Android 4.1 operating system and higher.
The launcher does not make any major changes and therefore does not require special resources. It simply changes the icons of standard utilities. Shortcuts to third-party applications are placed in bright colored squares with rounded corners. The launcher also eliminates the menu - from now on all icons are located on desktops.
Something similar, but in an expanded form, is offered by OS9 Launcher HD, also called smart and simple by its developers. This launcher also changes the appearance of all standard and some additional applications. But along the way, some other useful innovations borrowed from iOS are also being introduced. For example, if there are some news in a particular program, their number will be displayed on the label. And there is also an analogue of 3D Touch! But this function is called not by pressing hard (there is no pressure sensor in smartphones based on Android), but by double tapping on the icon of any of the standard applications.
The only thing that spoils the impression of the launcher is the presence of advertising. It is located in a separate desktop, where theoretically you don’t even have to look. The developers also sent the Google search string here.
We can also recommend a launcher for installation CleanUI. Its main difference is that the icons are larger. As a result, not the largest number of them is displayed on the screen. The application not only eliminates the menu, but also changes the notification panel, whereas the two previous launchers did not really know how to do this. Otherwise, the functionality repeats the two solutions discussed above - here you can also block the display of any icons. But there is no analogue of 3D Touch here. But you shouldn’t regret it, because this function is applicable only to standard applications, and even then not to all.
Interestingly, CleanUI also has a separate desktop. But there is no advertising on it - only a search bar is present. It helps you search for contacts, Internet pages in “History” and other information.
Since the iOS operating system is updated as often as Android, launchers also change over time. If you want to turn your smartphone into the latest iPhone, then try Launcher iOS 13. This is a free application that will completely change the appearance of menus, icons and other interface elements.
Replacing the lock screen
Launchers only partially help turn Android into an iPhone. Their problem is that they are not able to change the lock screen. This is done by separate applications, such as OS8 Lock Screen. When you launch this utility, you are taken to the settings window. The interface used here is English, but even without special knowledge, many points do not raise any questions. For example, it is immediately clear that the application allows you to put any image on the lock screen, set a password, and also enter any text.
As for the appearance of the lock screen, in this regard it is similar to its counterpart from iOS 8. Everything works very quickly, you can unlock the device in almost a split second if desired. You can also go to the Camera application without any unlocking. In a word, the application does not provide anything unusual, it just makes the smartphone even a little more similar to.
If you want to make a lock screen like the latest versions of iOS, then pay attention to the Lock Screen I.O.S 12 application. After installing it, your Android will look like the latest iPhone.
Notification panel
Not all launchers can competently replace the notification panel. Therefore, you should definitely install iNoty Style OS 9(the link was removed from the Play Store due to complaints about malicious content). As you might guess, it brings to the system the traditional status bar present in iOS 9. After installing the utility, you will be taken to a relatively small menu. Here you need to enable iNoty, after which you can enjoy a full-fledged status bar.
This is not to say that the solution turned out to be functional. But it makes you think you're using an Apple product. There are differences from the original status bar, but they are minimal.
You can also enable the function panel in the application menu. It will stretch out if you click on the small blue bar located at the bottom of the screen. This panel contains buttons that open the camera and calculator, as well as keys that allow you to turn off the device and use the flashlight. There are also buttons for wireless interfaces and a brightness level slider. Unfortunately, everything is spoiled by that same blue stripe - this element is displayed both in the menu and in many applications. Quite quickly the strip begins to irritate.
If you don’t like this implementation of the control point, you can try installing the application separately Control Panel - Smart Toggle.
Changing the keyboard and camera
Gradually we changed the main interface of the operating system. There's just one small thing left - the keyboard. With its help, we constantly type text in the browser, messenger and other programs. Therefore, it is logical that this element should also be replaced. This can be done by installing Apple Keyboard. This is a virtual keyboard very similar to the one used in recent versions of iOS.
Unfortunately, the keyboard does not have Russian language. This is its main drawback. Well, as for the camera application, you can install it as GEAK Camera. Traditionally, this utility can not only take photographs, but also apply all sorts of filters to pictures.
Most of the described applications are updated along with the release of new iOS versions. Therefore, your Android will always look like the latest iPhone. However, if you wish, you can install an older shell. Typically, the iOS version is indicated in the title or description of the application.
Conclusion
By completing all the steps indicated in this guide, you can get a device whose interface is very similar to that found on iPhones. But you need to understand that you will not get real iOS. And all this will not work very quickly - after all, all installed utilities consume a lot of processor power and a certain amount of RAM. Therefore, rest assured that you will quickly become disillusioned with your idea and return to the normal interface of the Android operating system. After all, it works much more stable, and in terms of functionality it is more pleasing.
1. Taking pictures without using the touch screen
Just call Siri with a long touch on the Home button and ask her to turn on the camera. To take a photo, press any volume button on your smartphone or headphones.
2. Emergency reboot
In those rare cases when the iPhone freezes or you need to free up the device's RAM, an emergency reboot will help. Just hold down the Home button and the Lock button for 10 seconds.
3. Triple press the Home button
Go to the "Accessibility" item in the main iPhone settings. Scroll down to the “Keyboard Shortcuts” tab - a list of functions will open in front of you. Triple-clicking the Home button launches VoiceOver, color inversion (useful for reading), some display settings, on-screen zoom, and Switch Control or AssistiveTouch.
To turn on the magnifying glass by triple-clicking the Home button, simply select the appropriate item in “Universal Access.”
4. Double tap the Home button sensor
Perhaps all iPhone users know that double-clicking the mechanical Home button opens the application selection window. But not everyone is aware that double tapping the button sensor “lowers” the screen a little, allowing owners of large smartphones to easily reach the top icons.
5. Using 3D Touch
If you have an iPhone 6s or later, using 3D Touch can make your life a lot easier and save time. This technology will speed up movement between applications, make typing more convenient and...
6. Reassigning volume buttons
The iPhone has two volume settings: the first is for calls and notifications, the second is for music and applications. Turning off the “Change with buttons” toggle switch in the sound settings will fix the ringer volume in its current position and transfer control of music and applications exclusively to the side buttons.
Work with text
7. Undo last action
Just shake your smartphone, and iOS will offer to undo the last action, be it typing, pasting or, conversely, deleting text.

12. Improve Touch ID accuracy
To help iPhone recognize you more confidently and quickly, create multiple prints of the same finger.
13. Create hidden photos
If you take photos in the standard camera application, they will be saved in the library. To protect a photo with a password, you need to resort to a trick. Turn off photo export and set a password in the Notes app settings. To take a secret photo, go to create a new note and tap on the camera icon. Once the photo is taken, click on "Export" and select "Lock Note."
14. Guided access
We often give our smartphone into the wrong hands to “pass a level in a game,” “read an article,” or “watch a video on YouTube.” If you don't trust who will be using your iPhone, turn on Guided Access in Settings: General → Accessibility → Guided Access.
When handing over an iPhone to someone, triple-click the Home button to turn on Guided Access, and the person will only be able to use the open app.
Siri
15. “Whose iPhone is this?”
If you find a lost iPhone, Siri can help you contact its owner without entering a password. Ask her “Whose iPhone is this?” or “Who owns this iPhone?”, and a window will open in front of you with the name of the owner of the gadget.
So that the person who finds your iPhone can find you in this way, go to Siri settings and in the “Data” tab, assign a contact with information about yourself.
16. Male Siri voice
Not everyone knows, but our faithful electronic assistant can speak in a pleasant male voice. This option is available in Siri settings.

18. Quick access to favorite contacts
To quickly dial important numbers, add them to the Favorites tab in the standard Phone application. Swipe right on the desktop to go to the widget panel. Scroll down and click “Edit”, and then tap on the plus sign next to the “Favorites” widget. Now you can call your loved ones faster and even when the screen is locked.
19. Detection of an incoming call in headphones
Answering calls using headphones is sometimes much easier than reaching for your phone. To find out who is calling you without taking your iPhone out of your pocket, turn on the “Call Announcements” toggle switch in your phone settings.
Messages
20. Deleting old messages
Deleting irrelevant messages will help bring order to your correspondence and free up precious megabytes of memory. Find the “Leave messages” item in the settings and set the required time after which the messages will be deleted.

One of the non-obvious functions of “Messages” is viewing the exact time of sending. Just swipe from the right side of the screen.
Alarm
23. Setting up a call from Apple Music
The ability to set your favorite song as an alarm is not a trick, but a basic iPhone feature that many people don't know about. When creating a new alarm, click on the Sound tab. Rewind the list to the very beginning, before the standard ringtones, find a panel with familiar names and click on “Select song”.
24. Snooze alarm
To reschedule the alarm to a later time, you don’t have to look for the corresponding button on the screen. Press any side button and iPhone wakes you up again in nine minutes.
This interval was not chosen by chance: old mechanical alarm clocks could not count exactly 600 seconds. They did not take into account the current minute and began counting nine minutes from the next one.
Safari
25. Search by word on a page
Enter the desired word in the address bar. In the drop-down menu under the search engine suggestions, select “On this page.”
26. Recently closed tabs

27. Convert a Safari page to a PDF file
28. Opening links in the background
Other basic applications and services
29. Spotlight as a converter
Swiping down on any iPhone screen opens Spotlight. Its use significantly reduces the time spent searching for something on a smartphone. Spotlight provides results from many applications: it will help you find the desired episode of a podcast, a message by keyword, or a person on Twitter. Also, a standard search engine can act as a converter. Just search for "1 usd" or "15 inches in cm".
30. Convert slow motion video to regular video
If you've been playing around with the slow motion function and accidentally shot something in slow motion that would look better at natural speed, it's easy to bring the video to the original tempo without additional applications. Open the video editing section and adjust the values on the speed bar. This strip is located above the timing field, where we usually cut the videos.
Level 31
The compass in the basic application is practically useless in the city. But if you swipe the screen to the left, you can get a level - an indispensable device for repair and installation.
32. Optimizing Apple Music storage

Task managers in the App Store offer a lot of functions, but standard “Reminders” are also capable of a lot. For example, a basic application can remind you to buy milk not only at 15:00, but also when you visit the store. To enable this function, select “Remind me by location” and find the desired geolocation in the task settings.
Battery
34. Turn on power saving mode
If your iPhone has more than 20% charge left, but the nearest outlet is still very far away, it makes sense to switch to power saving mode. To enable the mode, just ask Siri about it or find the corresponding item in the battery settings. In these settings, you can also find a list of the most energy-consuming applications and close them in a timely manner.
35. Silent charging connection
You can avoid vibration when connecting the charger to your iPhone by opening the Camera app before connecting the Lightning cable. The device will begin to charge, and your light-sleeping relatives will not be awakened by a sudden sound.
