If you’re an Apple iPhone user, you know it’s better than a phone! But it’s a tool for productivity, entertainment, and organization if you use it correctly! These are ten essential tips to help you master iPhone features, from speeding up the device to exploring the iPhone’s secret features.

Set Up Screen Recording

One of the most useful features is the ability to screen record on iPhone. This feature lets you capture what’s on your screen (great for recording app tutorials, doing a feature tutorial for someone, or saving live gameplay). Go to Settings > Control Center and add the Screen Record option. Then to turn it on and do the recording, you swipe up from the bottom. Then, swipe down from the top right corner of your screen (if you have a newer iPhone) or up from the bottom (if you have an older model), and tap the screen record icon, and you can start recording.

Organize Your Home Screen

How quickly you can find what you need on your iPhone’s Home Screen is partly dependent on how the layout of that screen is laid out. Your apps should be filed into folders for easier organization, and you should set up widgets to get to calendar items, weather, or even reminders quickly. It’s a simple tip that saves you time and makes your iPhone feel more intuitive.

Customize the Control Center

That’s what made the iPhone Control Center its one-stop shop for shortcuts to important functions. Include those frequently used features such as screen recording, flashlight, calculator, and other productivity tools to be always ready to use. That’s a massive time saver if you keep finding yourself opening certain apps or settings again and again.

Improve Battery Life with Smart Settings

One of the things iPhone users worry about is battery life. To increase your battery life, turn on Low Power Mode (also in Settings > Battery) or add it to Control Center for fast switching on and off. All of these should help conserve energy one day. Reducing screen brightness, turning off Background App Refresh and disabling location services from any nonessential apps can all help reduce your overall usage throughout the day.

Make the Most of the iPhone Camera.

The iPhone camera is one of the best out there, and it’s got tons of tools for making the pictures you take look great. Play with Portrait Mode for professional-looking shots or Night Mode for low light. There are small tricks to make photos have high quality such as adjusting the exposure manually. Head to Settings > Camera and toggle back and forth over options to see if any help out your photos more.
