iPhone 6 Best Tips And Tricks: Shortlist Of Phone's Best Features
If you are a first-time user of the iPhone 6 or have upgraded your existing device, you do not have to read the manual to learn new tips and tricks. Instead you just need a handy shortlist of the phone's best features.
First of the bat is the reachability feature of the iPhone 6, which is handy if you find it difficult to use the phone with one hand. To access this feature tap twice on the home button and the top half of the screen will drop down so that you can easily reach it. Also if you are finding it difficult to type on the screen with one hand, you can buy and download an on-screen keyboard that is specifically designed for one handed use.
Location settings have also been simplified and you can add coordinates to your text messages while typing by clicking on the details menu. Using the same menu option you can even choose how long you want your location information shared.
Notifications in iOS 8.1 have become interactive. So you can expand the notification from the top of the screen and, for instance, type a reply to a text message without ever leaving your current app.
Of primary importance to many users is ensuring that their iPhone battery does not drain out fast. With the iPhone 6 you can check whether apps are consuming power while they are not in use by navigating to General >Usage > and checking the Battery Usage option.
If you need to hide photos from friends and the general public, the iPhone 6 allows this. Press on a photo for a bit and then choose the option to file it in a "hidden folder." Also, the iPhone 6 comes with a credit card scanner which you can use to capture credit card information on your phone, which is much faster than typing it in.
Finally if you want to create a personal hotspot using the iPhone 6, it's easy. All you have to do is go to Settings > Cellular > and turn the Personal Hotspot option on.
