    You can add a sleep timer to the white noise! Go to the timer section in the clock app, set your time, and then below it says “When timer ends” and choose stop playing. Hope that helps someone!

    Thank you for the back tap! A feature I use not listed in this video is Assistive Touch. I use the single touch custom action to take screenshots. Long press will bring up the control center. Thanks for the video. It inspired me to go exploring again in my iPhone settings. ✌🏽♥️🙏🏽

    1 great feature is for I guess under accessibility where you can have your all type of messages read by siri if you are away or cant reach your fon. I guess it was built for blind assist but it does great work too for us when we are quite full with our hands and wants to know what the message was all about.

  • @JenniChiodo

    These are great features! Do you know how to use the text effects while in zoomed view. I like my icons bigger but I’ve discovered the only way to use this feature is to put in standard view. Otherwise when I try to use the feature the top is blocked and hard to switch from bubble to screen!

    I should probably start my own channel. I knew all that, maybe because I bought the iPhone 3G when it came out in 2008, and I’m a tech guy.
    I use assistive touch for screenshots, rebooting and locking (long press) on the phone and the iPad. The other underrated function is Guided Access, that I use when I hand the phone to others (specially kids), so that they can’t do anything outside the app that I start for them, and only play for like 10 minutes.

    I have triple tap set up since ages, but I notice my torch to be on at times I don't want it (and then me wondering why that is, oh triple tap). When you ask Siri to save your parking space, it'll say that it saved it. But when you ask Siri where is my car it doesn't know!!!? You need to open Apple Maps and hope it is still marked...

    You actually can set a timer for your white noise or whatever you’re listening to to stop playing. Go into timer, set your timer, click when timer ends, scroll down to stop playing and select it & when your timer is done it will turn off any music or background sounds you have playing.

      I don't think it's popular belief that most people need Pro iPhones. I do, however, think that most (obviously not all, so need to point out exceptions) people who actually spend time searching up & watching TH-cam videos about iPhone tips & tricks tend to be the geekier/tech enthusiast crowd, who do end up buying Pro iPhones for themselves, whether they actually "need" it or not.

      @smartnothard2400 ปีที่แล้ว

      Ft and inches (Imperial) have been outdated since the Industrial Revolution however still used as it’s easier to still use Imperial than to teach metric.
      Take a building for example. Foundations are mostly built using Imperial (basic on site labourer jobs) however once the frame and basic plumbing is up, (almost) every other trade uses Metric. It’s not a coincidence.
      1 inch = 2.54mm
      1cm = 10mm
      Which of the above would you find easier to use if you had intricate measurements?
      Yes, I know many peoples ‘dads and ‘grandads’ have been using ft and inches for years and years but that’s either because it’s what they were taught via the system (school - if they went) or what they learned as an employee / contractor when they migrated from whatever country they did.
      Converting to a ‘global’ metric system would be far to costly (time and money) however saying that, the UK for example has been converting form ft and inches to mm and cm since the 1980’s but a lot of people over 50 still use Imperial.
