When the iPhone 6 was released in
September 2014, it was the fastest smartphone when compared to other handsets.
Not only that, but Apple sold nearly 21 million within the first month of the
launch date. Now, as the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus launches the whole world is looking at the
latest smartphone, which is sleek, flashy, and has a plethora of different
features; most of these features are still unknown to many people. In this
article, some of the most useful tips and tricks will be revealed which will
make you love your iPhone even more.
· Protect
Your Phone from Toddlers
Who doesn’t
love children? Everyone does. But sometimes dealing with toddlers and younger
children can be a challenge, especially when they come across your smartphone;
kids and infants love to get their pudgy hands on iPhones and play with them
all day long. However, it can be disastrous for you if they accidentally delete
an important app or delete vital contact information.
In order to
avoid this, your iPhone 7 comes with a feature called, ‘Guided Access’. Go to
settings, and then tap on the General tab. Choose the ‘Accessibility’ option
and activate ‘Guided Access’.
· Setup
a More Difficult Password
Protecting
your iPhone 7 from unwanted intrusions should be your topmost priority;
nevertheless, many people tend to ignore the importance of setting up a
password for their phones. Passwords protect your sensitive data, especially if
your iPhone gets stolen.
Normally you
would setup a simple 4 digit number as a passcode in your iPhone; this number
can sometimes be easy to guess, especially when the unwanted intruder is
someone who is close to you. You can enable complex passwords such as
alphanumeric passcodes by going to settings, tapping on the general tab, and
then tapping ‘Passcode Lock’. Turn off the simple passcode option.
· Siri
Can Remember Your Relationships
Apple’s
personal digital assistant known as Siri is an extremely useful tool to assist
you with a myriad of different paraphernalia. For example, you can ask Siri to
set reminders and alarms, check for movie tickets and nearby cafes or tell you
the time in Copenhagen. But did you know that you can train Siri in an iPhone Seven
to remember your relationships with your contacts?
It is fairly
easy to do so; activate Siri by holding down the home button and say, for
example, “George is my brother”. You will get a confirmation, so say yes and
Siri will remember. So the next time you want to call someone, just speak out
the relation. For example, “Siri, call my brother.”
· Take
Multiple Photographs Simultaneously
The camera
application in the iPhone 7 has been improved significantly and it consists of
many new features. One such amazing feature is the ability to capture numerous
images at the same time within a single frame; it’s perfect when you want to
put your photography skills to the test. Open the camera app, point the phone
towards someone or something, and hold down the capture button.
