10 INCREDIBLE things your iPhone can do RIGHT NOW!

0:00 we're a month into 2025 now so naturally we start looking at what our iPhones will be able to do later this year with iOS 19 and more Apple intelligence features but even now without those things your iPhone can do a lot probably a bunch of things that most people have no idea about so we're going to talk about 10 of those things in this video okay let's get into it so we all know that if we receive an email we can hit reply and reply to the email but what if you want to specifically call attention to a part of the email when you reply to do this before you hit reply select only the text in the senders email that you want to reply to you can then write out your email as normal but if you scroll down you'll see that we're only including the selected text this also works for forwarding email which I think

0:47 is really useful again you can cut through the noise and just focus on the part of the email that you're interested in you can also use a similar technique when sharing something from Safari for example if you're sharing an article with a friend and you want to draw their attention to a specific chunk of text here's how to do it simply select the text in the article that you'd like to highlight then press the share button at the bottom of the screen share the article using messages and when you do this the article link will be shared with the other person along with a quote of the text that you selected if you've taken a photo using portrait mode you probably already know that when you tap edit in the photos app you can adjust the depth of field in other word background Blur by sliding left or right you can add more background blur or

1:32 reduce it but did you know you can also tap anywhere in the photo to change the focal point for example you might want the subject closest to the camera to be in focus and have background blur which is kind of the classic look but what if you want to reverse that this gives you the ability to create some really cool visual effects after you've taken the photo letting you completely transform the look and feel of the image with just a few Taps if you're feeling unwell and want to keep a track of your s symptoms instead of using the notes app like most people I speak to do you can log your symptoms directly into the health app this is really quick and easy to do and it also makes it much easier to pull up useful information if you ever need to share it with a doctor to do this open the health app and tap browse in the bottom right corner scroll down and tap

2:18 into symptoms you'll see a list of different symptom categories to choose from so scroll through until you find the one that you want for this example I'm going to choose headache once you tap into it you'll see an add data button in the top right corner tap on this to begin recording the symptom you can log the severity of the headache as mild moderate or severe and if you want to you can also include the start and end times of the symptom once you've entered the details tap add in the top right corner to save it over time you'll be able to see a record of this information displayed in charts on this page if you find this particular data point useful it is worth scrolling down and tapping pin to summary this will add the Sy some tracking to your health summary making it even easier to access in the future so that last tip was all

3:06 about the health app which is kind of fitting seeing as it's a new year and that's where most of us think about our health did you know that 80% of resolutions fail by February you can beat the odds with Lumen Lumen is the world's first handheld metabolic coach a device that measures your metabolism through your breath and on the app it lets you know if you're burning fat or carbs and gives you tailored guidance to improve your nutrition workouts sleep and even Stress Management oh and yes the app syns with the Apple Health app all you have to do is breathe into your Lumen first thing in the morning and you'll know what's going on with your metabolism whether you're burning mostly fat or carbs then Lumen gives you a personalized nutrition plan for that day based on your measurements the way that I use it is I breathe into it before and after workouts and meals so I know

4:38 read of view on your iPhone to do this navigate to the main website where the articles are located keep in mind that enabling the setting will apply to every page that you open on this particular website once you're on the site tap the read of view button in the bottom left corner of the screen then tap the ellipses button in the bottom right scroll down until you see a section called called website settings which will mention the domain of the sites that you're currently on here you'll see an option called use reader automatically toggle this on then press done in the upper right corner now every time that you open an article on this website it will load in readed viw automatically if you ever want to turn review off for a specific article you can still do so manually and if you change your mind you can repeat the same

5:24 steps to disable automatic review for this website if you're anything like me your phone is probably on silent mode all the time which means you rely on vibrations to know when something's happening on your phone but did you know you can create a custom vibration for individual contact to set this up open the contacts app and navigate to the contact that you want to create a custom vibration for tap edit in the upper right corner of the screen then scroll down and choose either ringtone if you want a custom vibration when they call you or text Tone If you want a custom vibration when they send you a message on the next page you'll see an option called haptics tap on this then scroll down to the custom section and tap create new vibration now use your finger

6:09 to tap and hold on the screen to create a custom vibration pattern you can use a mix of TAPS and long presses so if you want to create a rhythmic or melodic vibration you can do that once you've recorded the pattern Tap Play in the bottom left corner to feel how it works if you want to redo it tap record in the bottom right when you're happy with it tap save in the top right give it a name probably the name of your contact and then tap save again now whenever this contact calls or texts you depending on the option that you chose your phone will play the custom vibration that you just created by the way if you enjoy the content in these videos but wonder how you'll ever possibly remember it all you should check out my new training portal iPhone Essentials plus it's more than a 100 lessons for the iPhone with video

6:56 written guide and downloadable PDF for everything if you want to learn more click the link in the description or scan the QR code that you can see on screen I'm sure you already know that if you open the camera app and tap and hold the shutter button while in photo mode your iPhone will start recording a video you probably also know that if you do this and then swipe the shutter button to the right while recording it locks the recording allowing you to lift your finger off the screen and continue filming but did you also know that while recording this way you can swipe up or down on the screen with your thumb to zoom in in and out this makes it much easier to adjust your framing on the fly without stopping the recording or pinching the screen by default when you create a new note in the notes app the first thing that you type will automatically become the title of the

7:42 note now this might be exactly what you want but for a lot of people when they're quickly capturing a note it's actually the body of the note that they want to write first before anything else if that sounds like you there is a way to change this default setting go to settings scroll all the way down and tap apps then scroll down again and select notes on this page scroll down to the viewing section and you'll see an option called new notes start with tap on this and change it from title which is the default to body now every time you start a new note you'll immediately begin typing in the body of the note instead of the title the only downside to this is that when you view your list of notes in the notes app they won't have a title which can make it harder to categorize them so if you want to keep things organized here's a quick workaround once

8:29 you finished writing your note tap to place the cursor at the very beginning of the note and press return to create a new line then tap where the title would normally be tap the AA button in the menu bar and Select Title after that tap the little X in the top right corner to return to the keyboard and now you can manually enter a title like you normally would if you enjoy Tik Tok and Instagram and let's be honest also being a bit lazy here's a really clever hack for your iPhone go to settings scroll down and tap accessibility then scroll to the physical and motor section and tap into voice control toggle the feature on then tap commands and choose create new command in the phrase section type in the phrase that you want to use in this

9:14 example I'm going to use the word next now tap action and select run custom gesture here you're going to recreate the motion of swiping from right to left just like you would when skipping an Instagram story or a Tik Tok video once you've recorded the swipe press save in the upper right hand corner to save the command next tap the back button to return to the new command page and select application scroll down and choose the app where you want this command to work I'm going to choose Instagram from the available options once that's set press back and then tap save in the upper right corner to finalize everything now if I open Instagram all I have to do is say next and my phone will automatically swipe to the next story if you ever want to turn this off just disable voice control and

10:00 it'll stop working if you've taken a screenshot of some text and want to highlight it before sending it to someone I'm sure you already know that you can do this by tapping the markup button at the top of the screenshot editor selecting the highlighter and then highlighting the text problem is unless you have an extremely Steady Hand it's really difficult to get neat even highlighting unless you do the following instead of Simply swiping left to right to highlight swipe is normal but hold at the end of each highlight this will automatically straighten and neaten up your highlight creating a perfect line along the text that you're marking up in Safari when you tap on a link it opens in the same tab by default replacing whatever you were looking at if you'd rather have it open in a new tab you could tap and hold on the link and then

10:46 choose open in new tab but there is an even quicker way instead of pressing and holding simply tap the link with two fingers at the same time this will instantly open the link in a new tab without any extra steps once the new tab opens you can swipe left or right on the tab bar at the bottom to quickly switch between the page that you were just looking at and the one that you just opened so there you go 10 amazing things that you can do on your iPhone that I reckon most people won't have known about what about you any of these Catch You by surprise or were there any tips that you think should have been included drop me a comment and let me know and as ever if you found this video useful do please consider leaving me a like and subscribing to my channel for more content like this in the future see you on the next video
