Charge your Phone much Faster

AirDrop is the Best Way to Send Images

You know the drill:everyone gathers around for photos & then everyone in thephotos says, "Hey, can you send me those?"

Now comes the hassle ofsending a bunch of text messages and/or emails -- Surely there must be a betterway?

With AirDrop, there is-

Step 1: Make sure both Bluetooth & Wi-Fi are turned on. Any intended recipients will need to do                                                                             likewise & perform the next two steps as well.

Step 2: Access AirDrop settings by swiping up from the bottom of the screen to access Control Center. (This is the only way to do so; AirDrop doesn't appear anywhere in the actual Settings app.) 

Step 3: Tap AirDrop, then choose your visibility as Contacts Only or Everyone. I suggest opting for the latter, otherwise you'll be limited to just those folks who are already in your Contacts database &if something doesn't line up, you won't be able to end or receive.

Step 4: Now it's time to share. Open the Photos app, select one or more photos & then tap the Share button (located in the lower-left corner and represented by a square with an arrow pointing up out of it). 

Create Custom Vibration Alerts

Want to know if your best friend is calling without ever looking at the phone? Buried in the contact settings, a fun option lets you create custom vibration patterns for your contacts.

To do it, go to Contacts, choose a contact, and tap Edit in the upper-right corner.

Then, scroll down & navigate to Vibration > Create New Vibration. In the interactive screen, tap and hold to create a pattern, using long presses for long vibration notes, and so on.

Use iMessage Overseas

When you're connected to in-flight Wi-Fi or traveling without a data plan, you can still send text messages to iPhone-using friends.

Just head to Settings> Messages & make sure Send as SMS is disabled, and that iMessage is enabled

Take Photos As You Are Recording A Video

Did you know that you can take photos as you are recording a video without switching camera modes? You can try this out by going to the video mode of the camera app and recording a video. As you are recording the video, you will notice a white button on the corner. Every time you press that button, a photo will be taken as you record the video.

Turn Off The Flashlight Quickly

If your phone flashlight is on, then you can easily turn it off again by activating the Camera app. For example: let's say that your flashlight is on and your phone display is off. You can quickly switch off the flashlight by tapping on the Power button of your phone and swiping from right to left - which is the shortcut for activating the camera.
