If you’re new to iPhone or just never took the time to think about it how to perform daily actions faster, this is your message. Because yes, the iPhone settings are very good, they are very complete and you will find all the options, but there are always tricks in iOS to speed up the process.
Thus, we differentiate up to four ways to quickly access typical settings without having to access all the menus of the ‘Settings’ application. From the famous control center to the possibility, with a few touches on the body of the iPhone, to perform an action.
The best known: the control center
We’re not going to explore the iPhone’s Control Center at this point, but just in case, let’s say it is. the iOS quick settings panel which is launched by swiping down from the upper right part of the screen (if your iPhone has a Home button, it will be from the bottom center upwards).
Son several options found as standard. From those related to connections (Wi-Fi, mobile data, airplane mode…) to volume control, music player, including the possibility of preventing screen rotation or managing concentration modes iOS.
Now though, you can also add shortcuts from Settings > Control Center. This way you can add options to access the camera, activate battery saving mode, screen recording, flashlight and much more.
3D Touch, multiple options for each application
3D Touch gestures originated eight years ago with the iPhone 6s and although Apple removed the haptic engine that accompanied this feature from the latest iPhones, it is still present in the software. Basically, it is about access options submenus by simply holding down an icon.
See the city control center as an example, which if you hold down some of its icons you can find different options. For example, in the connection panel you will be able to see more than the four settings that appear as standard, since AirDrop and Personal Hotspot are added.
However, submenus with options also appear on application icons. In the case of icon of the adjusted appholding it will give you quick access to the Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, mobile data or battery panels.
Apart, 3DTouch is also used to see previews web pages or emails. It can even be used to view WhatsApp chats without leaving a trace with the double blue checkmark (just be in the chats tab and hold down the one you want to see).
The Trick of Double-Tapping the Back of the iPhone
If I say “knock knock,” you probably imagine a fist banging twice on a door. Well, now imagine doing that “knock knock” with one finger on the back of the iPhone. This will help you open another door, that of executing quick actions. This, yes, you need to configure it first.
To do this, you must follow the route Settings > Accessibility > Touch > Touch back. Once there, you can choose different actions to perform when you double or triple tap the back of the iPhone. There are many options such as open control center, turn on flashlight, turn off iPhone, open an app, run a shortcut…
It must be said that it is a function which It even activates with a case on the iPhone. Of course, if it’s very sturdy, you may have problems. Likewise, it is worth noting the importance of not being harsh and tapping gently, which is also not a matter of hitting the phone.
