7 useful tips to take advantage of your new iphone

Those of you who have recently released your first iPhone will surely want to get the most out of it and are still digging and discovering new features and functions. On the opposite side, even those who have been using an iPhone for years and believe that you have it all figured out, maybe they shouldn't be so sure that it is. In any case, today I bring you seven useful tips and tricks from which everyone, long-term users and Nobel users, will be able to learn something new. Let's see.

Tips and tricks you should know about your iPhone

• Reopen the last closed Safari tab: In Safari, if you press the "+" button at the bottom of the screen, you can reopen the tabs you have closed recently. Set a music timer: Do you like to listen to music when you go to sleep before and want the playback to end after a certain time? In the Clock app, select the "Timer", scroll down and select the "Stop playback" option. The music will stop when the timer reaches zero.

  

  Move multiple apps simultaneously: When you're moving apps on the home screen, if you long-press one of them, drag it a bit, and then tap others while continuing to hold the first, you can group them all and move them at once. 3D Touch for folder notifications: do you have a bunch of apps in folders? If one of its folders has a little red badge, you can press firmly press on the folder to see which app has a pending notification at a glance. Quick access to Settings: are you in an application like Messages or Photos and want to access the Settings app quickly? Simply dictate "Settings" to Siri and it will open immediately. Siri song history: In the iTunes Store app, you can find a list of all the songs you have asked Siri to identify. Just tap the three-line icon at the top of the screen, and then select "Siri." Block applications with an access code. Apple does not allow us to use access codes or lock codes for applications individually, that is, it is only possible to use the lock code of our iPhone to unlock it, but we cannot block a specific application, unless it incorporates said function as we can find in banking applications such as Fintonic, Openbank, Monese, etc. Despite this restriction, the truth is that there is a small trick that will allow us to apply that access code to individual applications, and we find it in the "screen time" option. In the Usage time section, within the Settings application, select the option “App usage limits and“ Add limit ”. Then you can set a one-minute timer in "All apps and categories" so that the use of the applications is blocked every day when you exceed that limit. Then go to "Always allowed", add those applications that you DO NOT want blocked. From then on, the rest of the applications will require the introduction of the “Screen Time” access code in order to be used.

As you have seen, there are always tips and tricks for our iPhone that Apple does not inform us about and that tpco includes in any user manual. On the other hand, keep in mind that you can also use these tricks on your iPad, so you will still be able to get more out of them. Did you know them all? Is there any advice that you did not know and that you have now learned and will put into practice?
