I did know most of these, but the autocorrect fix (panel 14 of 16) is welcome info.

“Tech-savvy people have discovered the little-known features on an iPhone that many never knew existed - including a hidden degree symbol in the keyboard and a 'secret' setting to adjust the brightness of your torch…”

The space bar as a track pad will be extremely helpful. That is the only one I didn’t know, but you’re a saint for posting this!

Now if we could edit the dictionary so that a saved word could be deleted...

Good stuff. Thanks

I heard a rumor you could get pichers of neckid ladies on em.

Hard to get past all the ads. This site didn't like my ad-blocker. Nice tips though.

But how to prevent nosy parents from knowing where I am, that would be good information.

Ugh, Daily Mail, If you disable you're ad blocker the page never quits loading because of the amount of ads. My phone rings I sometimes answer it. I make a call and the other phone rings and sometimes they answer. All I need.

No kidding, the DM ad popups are nasty, gotten to the point I wont look at them anymore since it wants to disable the blocker to see the page.

I don't mind a few ads, realize they are there for revenue, but DM is excessive!

Nice tips by the way! the Scan to PDF is helpful as is the sliding space bar, I can never get the tap insert to edit bar in the correct place...

These were very helpful, thank you.

One could have a lot of fun with the text replacement feature on someone else's phone.

WTF - Exactly why are there so many 'Secret Squirrel' multi-finger/swipe/tap/gestures that are seemingly NOT Officially Documented anywhere, such that you need to be in the 'cool kids club' or a 'genius' to know they exist anyway....

Thanks.

I found a few that were useful.

I got a new iphone XR about 6 months ago and the screen wouldn't show battery percentage. When I went back in the tech showed me how to just touch on the battery symbol, drag it down, and that's how I learned of that helpful screen, many things in one place just from a swipe.

It has no home button, it's still awkward trying to swipe up to close windows.

I saw an interview years ago where they said programers would watch people use their OS and be horrified how they used it, all the things they spent so much time writing/developing and people don't use them. Well no shit! How the F' are we supposed to know? When was the last computer than came with instructions? I use my new iPad every day and the browser is constantly doing things I don't know what they are, how to utilize or how to stop. Honestly it's worse than that, I still have an occasionally use my G4 Mac I bought it 2003. Been using it for 17 years and I'd bet 1/4 of the programs that came with it, I have no idea what they are or what they do.

Here's the PDF version I just edited with no Ads.

Thanks. Did not know about the swipe to backspace numbers or that I could adjust the brightness of my torch at all.

Lkdr- thanks for the Word document—I’ve emailed it to other family iPhone users.

Thanks Pipe Smoker! Very helpful hints.

Maybe get your own apple id, or turn your permissions off.

You sir, are a gentleman and a lifesaver!

There’s also a little orange icon, with a lightbulb symbol in it, on all iPads and iPhones. It’s labeled Tips. It has a lot of good information too.

I know that I may be way off here but it may be worth mentioning if you aren't already aware of this feature and use a Mac, in the address bar at the top, when you click on a link that may have a significant amount of pop-ups, after clicking on the link, you can click on those small lines to the very left in the bar that will be highlighted as "reader view" when you move the cursor over it, just click it and it will display the page without all the annoying pop-up ads. I'm probably preaching to the choir here but I thought I'd mention this for those who aren't aware of it.
