Your iPhone has dozens of hidden features Apple rarely talks about. These tricks can boost speed, privacy, productivity, and the way you control your device daily.
Back Tap
Double-tap or triple-tap the back of your iPhone to trigger shortcuts-like screenshot, flashlight, mute, or opening apps instantly. Customize it in Settings → Accessibility → Touch.
Hidden Menu
Long-press app icons for powerful quick actions-scan text, lock notes, start recordings, or jump into hidden menus without opening the full app.
Secret Codes
Dial codes like *3001#12345#* to access Field Test Mode for advanced network data. Use responsibly-these offer hidden insights Apple doesn’t highlight.
One-Handed
Swipe down on the bottom edge to activate one-handed mode instantly. Perfect for large iPhones-most users never discover it.
Drag Text
Select, drag, and drop text, photos, or files between apps without copying. Works in Messages, Notes, Mail, Safari, and more.
Quick Notes
Swipe from the bottom-right corner of the screen (with Apple Pencil on iPad or gesture on iPhone) to open Quick Note instantly.
Live Text
Point your camera at any text-phone numbers, signs, printed pages-and instantly copy, translate, or call using Live Text.
Focus Mode
Use hidden automation inside Focus Mode to automatically change wallpapers, turn on Silent Mode, or open apps based on time or location.
Final
Your iPhone is more powerful than Apple reveals. Master these hidden tricks to save time, boost privacy, and elevate your productivity daily.
