iPhone 13 & 13 Pro HIDDEN Features, Tips and Tricks!

0:00 thanks to optimum for sponsoring a portion of this video [Music] what's going on guys it's your average consumer and today we're gonna be talking about some tips and tricks for the iphone 13 lineup now if you've already got an iphone 13 they're probably going to be some hidden gems inside of here that you probably didn't know that you can pull off with your phone so let's talk about what you can do now one of the first things you might have noticed with your new iphone is that when you browse in safari your search bar is actually at the bottom now not everybody's crazy about the change but you can actually go ahead and change that so we can get back on top and be like what we're used to now there are a couple ways to change this if you're in safari you can hit that aaa in the search bar and the very first option

0:47 show the tab bar on the top boom we're back to normal so if you don't like the new change you can always do it there but if you don't want to go in through safari you can go into settings you can find safari down here and then you can change it right here so you can do tab bar or single tab whatever one's easier for you but that's how you get it back to normal now next up is a feature that apple's talked about but i still notice a lot of people don't know it exists so something cool that you can do with the camera so let's say you take a photo of something with some text so we've got a menu over here you can open up the photo in your photos app and you can actually highlight the text in the photo copy it paste it somewhere else you can search

1:34 things one thing that's pretty cool is you see this address right here you can actually hold it and then it'll pop up right on the map there's some really cool functionality here so if there's maybe something that you see that you want to maybe remember in the future you can take a picture of it and then you have all this data that you can access right here in the photo so a pro tip if you're a student if you got to take a picture of like a textbook you can take a picture highlight the text throw it into your notes app makes life a lot easier and while we're talking about the camera there's a feature called photographic styles now this is another one of those features that apple has talked about but still a lot of people don't know it's a thing so if you're someone who enjoys filters or maybe editing your photos or maybe you don't enjoy editing your photos but you want

2:20 your photos to look a certain way you can do this one time change keep the photographic styles on and your photos will basically keep a look that you create in the camera app and it'll look the way you want it to every time i'm not going to get too nerdy here and talk about all these different camera settings uh but if you like to have some contrast or you like them to be a little bit on the warmer side whatever your taste may be if you're someone who cares about their camera take a second to do it give it a shot and you might be really impressed by what your camera can put out every time you take a photo now if you didn't know the iphone 13 has wi-fi 6 support so you should be able to get some of the fastest wi-fi speeds available and speaking of fast speeds optimum who was cool enough to sponsor this portion of the video has just launched their new optimum fiber network and the network delivers equally fast

3:07 upload and download speeds so you can do your favorite things like stream content with no lag they offer internet services up to one gig with smart wi-fi 6 technology too so multiple devices can connect and have great speed and i'm actually an optimum subscriber and i pay for the one gig service and i don't know how i'd be able to have a smart home with all of the devices that i have at home without that fast speed and if you're worried about security optimum keeps you safe with built-in internet security to protect you from viruses malware and more so if you guys want to learn more about optimum services definitely check the links down below in the description and again huge shout out to optimum for sponsoring this portion of the video but if you have the iphone 13 and you need that wi-fi 6 support

3:54 you know where to go jay we did a tips and tricks for the iphone 12. i feel like we did but there's a tip that i loved in that video and that's the triple tap to take a screenshot so you can actually go into settings go into accessibility touch back tap you can have access to a double tap and a triple tap and they can do various things me i hate trying to take a screenshot i always forget which volume button i'm supposed to press so to keep life simple i just do a triple tap and boom but you can always change that you have basically extra controls here so if you want that to be a screenshot or you want to open the camera or you want to make that like your home button you can pretty much do whatever you want there are a lot of cool things that you can turn on here so definitely check

4:40 that out if you haven't from like the previous iphone so something that apple recently introduced is focus so focus allows you to have different do not disturb modes basically depending on what you're doing so you can actually jump into focus over here and you can see you have do not disturb personal work sleep whatever it is you want to do you can create a new focus so that you only get certain notifications depending on which focus mode you have it in you can have it so notifications only from work applications like gmail text messages or messages from like your boss or co-workers come in that kind of deal but one thing that i really like about this is you can go into these modes you can go into the settings and you can actually change the home screen to a custom home screen so right now i'll

5:26 show you guys this is my current home screen but if i go into work i'll tap that and you see i've got a completely new home screen now something that's pretty cool about focus is that if you don't want to go ahead and switch every time you go into work or something you're gonna have it automated you can have a schedule or make it based on location you can just have it do it automatically so you're not even thinking about it your phone will automatically say all right we're working now or all right i'm free ready to have some fun whatever you want you can have automatically do it so that way you can access these features without even thinking about it now if you have an iphone and you've downloaded an app chances are you've seen the application ask for permission to track or you can say don't allow the app to track but you can actually

6:12 instead of always saying don't allow the app to track that's what i do you can actually turn off the ability for the app to even ask for permission if you jump into your settings and then you go into privacy and then tracking and then you can allow apps to request to track if you turn that off you'll basically cut off all apps from being able to ask you to even track so that way nobody's getting any cookie information from you they're not tracking what you're doing outside of the application i mean i it feels like a no-brainer to me unless you want certain applications to be able to do that kevin you let apps track you well yeah that makes sense now here's an old school feature that i still use on a daily basis

6:58 i'm an iphone 13 pro max user and i still use reachability now i don't know how many people jay you have a 13 pro max you use reachability no let me show you so this is a big phone and when you're using it with one hand it might be a little bit hard to reach the top sometimes but reachability allows you to just swipe down on that home button and you're able to swipe down or interact with the top of the screen by it pulling the entire screen like halfway so you can make things a little bit easier when you want to reach the top of the phone uh just by doing that little swipe down first you got to turn it on jay it's he forgot you see this is this is why we brought it up now i know you guys have heard of this feature but did you remember that you can face time with

7:44 people who don't have an iphone if you have somebody who uses android or maybe windows you can actually go into facetime create a link and then you can take that link copy it and then you can send it to someone through messages or mail however you want to get it to the person you can send the link over and you're automatically able to facetime someone they're going to be using their browser while you use facetime but yeah it finally bridges the gap between android users and windows users to people who want to facetime now them on the other side they can't send you a link and you know do that so you'll always have to be the person who does that and what's great about that feature is they don't need to download anything they just use the link in their browser

8:29 and boom you guys are video chatting now here's a feature you probably didn't know was even happening on your phone if you go to power off your iphone you'll see that it says the iphone is findable after power off so even if the iphone powers off you should still be able to find it using the find my app now this is useful in case a thief gets a hold of your phone and they try to power it off immediately so that you can't call them or track them it's still trackable so if you happen to forget your phone somewhere and you try to call it and you notice it's off all hope is not lost get on that find my and you'll still be able to track the phone using that feature you can turn it off if you want but i would not recommend that now here's another cool feature it uses siri no no don't get me wrong it's siri but

9:15 it's actually kind of cool so if we're on like a web page here you can say hey siri or just use the right side button send this to arie and then just like that i can send over the webpage and it's actually listening to me so if i want to send the message uh it'll go along with it i don't need it to do all that and that's cool if you don't want to do all the clicking around to send something and you send a message along with it but there you go guys those are 10 quick tips and tricks that you can use with your iphone 13 uh but some of you might be able to use it even if you don't have a 13 some of them are ios related so check them out if you haven't but that about wraps it up for the video guys if you have any other cool tips and tricks that you want to share with everyone else leave a comment down below share your wealth of knowledge and i'll
