Best iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro Camera tips and tricks to Know About

without further ado, here are 20 best iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro camera tips and tricks you should know in 2021:

1. Understanding What Is Cinematic Mode

Best iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro camera tips and tricks: Cinematic Mode

Cinematic mode is designed to bring a depth-of-field effect to your iPhone 13 videos by leveraging its A15 Bionic chip and advanced computational algorithms. Just as important, Cinematic mode can provide automatic focus changes when there’s multiple subjects in the frame. The iPhone 13 is even smart enough to switch from one subject to another if, say, one person turns their head towards another.

The goal of Cinematic mode is to make your iPhone 13 videos look more immersive and dynamic. And while the iPhone 13 can switch focus between subjects automatically, you can tap on subjects as you shoot to direct where you want the focus to be. In addition, you can tweak the depth-of-field effect and the level of bokeh after you record in editing.

2. Shoot Videos in Cinematic Mode

It’s incredibly easy to start using Cinematic mode on your iPhone 13 or iPhone 13 Pro. All you need to do is launch the camera app and slide over to spots to the left where it says Cinematic. From there you just tap Record button.

I would suggest that you try to position the iPhone 13 camera in front of your subject or subjects in such a way that you’ll see the bokeh effect in action before you start shooting. You’ll see a live preview of what your Cinematic mode footage will look like as you move your iPhone 13 around.

3. What Are Photographic Styles?

Another iPhone 13 camera trick that seems to have sent the shutterbug for a blitzkrieg is “Photographic Styles.” Photographic Styles consist of a series of subtle filter-like adjustments that you can enable before you’ve taken any photos, allowing you to bring a stylistic effect to your shots beforehand that won’t affect the skin tone of your subjects. These styles come in four presets:

  • Vibrant
  • Rich Contrast
  • Warm
  • Cool

Vibrant captures the shot in bright, vivid, yet natural-looking colors, while Rich Contrast adds a more dramatic look that makes shadows darker and increases color and contrast. Warm adds a summery golden undertone to subjects, and cool uses blue undertones to achieve its signature cool look.

These styles work more intelligently than filters, since they capture certain elements of the photo as it’s taken, rather than applying changes in post-processing.

You have two controls for every Photographic Style: Tone and Warmth.

Bringing the tone up, makes a photo brighter and more vivid, while bringing it down increases the contrast and adds more shadows.

Bringing the warmth up, enhances golden tonalities in a photo, while bringing it down actually enhances blue tonalities.

The changes will also be saved and can be reused later on, so that you can easily take every photo with your personal style. Photographic Styles can be used with the front-facing camera, too, so you can style up your selfies. Bear in mind though that a style can’t be removed from a photo once it’s shot.

4. How to Use Photographic Styles on iPhone 13

  1. Start the Camera app on your ‌iPhone 13‌.
  2. If you’ve not used Photographic Styles before, or you previously chose the Standard mode, swipe the horizontal menu below the viewfinder so that Photo mode is selected, then swipe up from the bottom of the viewfinder and tap the Photographic Styles icon (it looks like three cards lined up in a row).
  3. Swipe through the four presets (in addition to the Standard option) and you can preview each one applied to the scene currently in the viewfinder.
  4. Use the optional Tone and Warmth sliders below the viewfinder to adjust the look to your preferences.
  5. When you’re ready, hit the Shutter button.
  6. Now that your style is active, you’ll see the Photographic Style icon appear in the top-right corner of the Camera interface. Tap it to change the style at any time.

By default, the Photographic Style you select will remain active the next time you launch the Camera app until you select another one or return to the Standard style. You can also change which Photographic Style is active using the Settings app.

In Settings, tap Camera, then under ”Photo Capture” select Photographic Styles.

5. Take Macro Photos on iPhone 13 Pro

Another iPhone 13 Pro camera trick is the ability to capture macro photos and videos with the ultra-wide camera. With Macro mode enabled, you can take pictures or video of subjects that are as close as 2cm to your iPhone’s camera lens, which means you can now take shots of flowers, textures, insects, or pretty much anything small or at close distance, with accurate focus, rich detail, and no blurring.

Here’s how to use the Macro mode feature on ‌iPhone 13 Pro‌ and ‌iPhone 13 Pro‌ Max.

  1. Launch the Camera app on your ‌iPhone 13 Pro‌.
  2. Make sure Photo mode is highlighted in the camera mode menu. If you’re shooting video, swipe to Video mode instead.
  3. Line up your close-up subject in the viewfinder and allow the camera to switch to the wide-angle lens. Move in closer – the subject can be as close as 2cm away from the lens (you can use the zoom if necessary).
  4. Hold the phone steady. Once the lens has focused on the subject, tap the shutter to take the shot or begin capturing video. If you’re shooting video, tap the shutter button again to finish.

6. Take a Video While You’re in Photo Mode

Want to record a video on the iPhone 13 quickly? When you find the perfect moment for a video, you don’t always have time to switch between Photo and Video mode on your iPhone. Simply hold down the shutter button or volume button while using the Photo mode of the Camera app, then capture video until you release the button. You can even slide the on-screen shutter button over to lock in video mode on the spot.

7. Turn Off Automatic Night Mode

When using the Camera app on iPhones, the ‌Night Mode‌ feature comes on automatically when the camera sensor registers an indoor or outdoor scene that is dark enough to warrant brightening, resulting in natural colors and reduced noise. The reality is that ‌Night Mode‌ won’t always capture the kind of nighttime image that you want. If you’re aiming to shoot an authentic evening scene in which any sources of light remain subdued, for example, it’s better to turn off ‌Night Mode‌ to prevent extreme light exposure and a blown out picture.

If you don’t want ‌‌Night Mode‌‌ engaged when you’re shooting in low light environments, you can turn it off by tapping the yellow ‌‌Night Mode‌‌ button when it appears at the top of the viewfinder. The problem is, when you open the Camera app again and the sensor detects low light, ‌Night Mode‌ will automatically enable itself again.

In iOS 14, there’s no way to disable ‌Night Mode‌ for good – you have to manually switch ‌Night Mode‌ off every time you relaunch the Camera. In iOS 15, however, you can turn off ‌Night Mode‌ and ensure it stays off. Here’s how.

  1. Start the Settings app on your iPhone and tap Camera.
  2. Tap Preserve Settings.
  3. Toggle the Night Mode switch to the green ON position.

Turning on this switch makes the Camera remember that you disabled ‌Night Mode‌ last time you were shooting. You can still manually enable ‌Night Mode‌ in the Camera app in the usual way, but now you’re in control of when it’s active.

8. Prioritize Faster Shooting

This iPhone 13 camera trick is designed to modify how images are processed. It plays a key role in helping you to capture more photos when you rapidly tap the Shutter button. Depending on your needs, you can enable/disable Prioritize Faster Shooting feature.

  1. Start the Settings app on your iPhone.
  2. Scroll down and select Camera.
  3. Scroll down and enable or disable Prioritize Faster Shooting.

If you disable Prioritize Faster Shooting, your iPhone 13 will take higher quality pictures but it won’t take pictures as quickly as before. You’ll need to test it around and decide whether you prefer quality over quantity.

9. Test Apple ProRAW

Another iPhone 13 camera trick is Apple ProRAW. It’s basically a type of image file that’s completely raw, with little to no edits from the camera software.
This means you can completely edit your pictures however you want, making it easier for you to give them the look you want. Of course, this takes more time and effort, but if you’re into photography you have to try this feature.
Here’s how you can enable Apple ProRaw on your iPhone 13 series:

  1. Start the Settings app on your iPhone.
  2. Scroll down and tap Camera.
  3. Select Formats.
  4. Enable Apple ProRAW.
  5. After you enable it, you can turn ProRAW on and of on the Camera app, by tapping on the RAW button on the top right corner of your screen.
    Keep in mind that Apple ProRAW files take much more space on your iPhone, and they won’t be as edited as your regular picture, so this feature isn’t the most ideal if you just want to take casual pictures. Still, it’s worth giving it a shot if you already have an iPhone 13 model.

10. Turn Lens Correction off and on

The Lens Correction setting adjusts photos taken with the front camera or Ultra Wide camera for more natural-looking results.
On iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro, lens Correction is enabled by default. To turn off Lens Correction, head over to Settings > Camera, then turn off Lens Correction.

11. Take Control of Scene Detection Setting

The Scene Detection setting can identify what you’re taking a photo of and apply a tailored look to bring out the best qualities in the scene. While there is no denying the fact that it’s a great iPhone 13 camera trick, I don’t think pros would want to let the Scene Detection setting have its way without any control.

Start the Settings app on your iPhone and go to Camera and then turn off/on Scene Detection based on your needs.

12. Take Advantage of the iPhone Camera Timer

If you enjoy taking selfies, it’s the perfect tool. Instead of trying to do acrobatics with your arm to fit everyone in the shot, you can use a nearby ledge, line up the photo, and still have plenty of time to get yourself into position.

To use the timer, tap on the Arrow icon in the bar at the top of the camera window, then hit the Stopwatch button that appears at the bottom. You have the choice of a three or 10-second timer. Make your selection and compose your image. The timer won’t start until you press the shutter button.

13. Mirror Front-Facing Camera

The front-facing camera on your iPhone 13 can be a bit weird when taking selfies. You see, when you’re taking a selfie, you’ll see yourself as if you’re looking in a mirror. But when you check the picture in the Photos app, you’ll see it the other way around.
For instance, if you take a selfie holding your right hand up, the Camera app will show you a mirror version of yourself. But once you see the picture, you’ll see it as if you’re holding your left hand up.
You can actually change this so your selfies show a mirror version of yourself. Here’s how you can do it:

  1. Start the Settings app on your iPhone.
  2. Scroll down and go to Camera.
  3. Under Composition enable Mirror Front Camera.

14. Enable Grid Lines

Most people who enjoy photography are familiar with the Rule of Thirds. It’s one of the essential rules to follow when you’re composing a photograph.

Put simply, it dictates that you should place the subject of a shot in one of the four intersections of lines on a 3×3 grid.

However, in order to get the most out of the rule, you’ll need to enable an on-screen grid so you can see the four intersections. Gridlines are also useful for other composition issues, such as keeping the horizon level or making sure walls and buildings are at precisely 90 degrees

To turn these gridlines on, go to Settings > Camera > Grid and slide the toggle into the On position.

15. Turn View Outside the Frame off and on

On iPhone 13 models, the camera preview displays content outside the frame to show you what can be captured by using another lens in the camera system with a wider field of view. While this is a great feature, you may want to have manual control over it. To do so, start the Settings app on your iPhone and go to Camera and then turn off/on View Outside the Frame toggle.

16. Burst Mode

Have you ever tried to take a picture of a fast-moving object on your iPhone?

Often, the object in question is long gone before your phone can process the image. And even if you manage to get the shot, your subject will often be blurry and distorted.

The trick is to use Burst Mode. This takes a rapid-fire series of shots that’ll give you a selection of photos to choose from. You can keep the best and discard the rest.

To use Burst Mode, head over to Settings > Camera and enable Use Volume Up for Burst. Then keep your finger pressed on the Volume Up button while taking a shot. Burst Mode will automatically engage and continue until you release your finger.

17. Preserve Camera Settings

Do you have a favorite filter or camera mode? If so, it’s frustrating to have to select it afresh every time you open your camera app. By the time you’ve got your camera set up, the fleeting moment you wanted to capture could have vanished forever.

The trick is to use the iPhone 13 Preserve Settings feature.

To set it up, start the Settings app on your iPhone 13 and go to Camera > Preserve Settings and then customize the settings to your heart’s liking.

18. Adjust Depth Control in Portrait mode

Before taking your Portrait photo, you might want to edit the depth-of-field setting to change how blurry the background is.

To get started, launch the Camera app on your iPhone and then choose Portrait mode. After that, frame your subject and then tap the f button in the top-right corner of the camera, then move the slider at the bottom of the screen.

This slider relates to the f-stop of the camera. The lower the number, the greater the depth of field, which means the background is more blurry. If you want to make the background less blurry, select a higher f-stop number. You might want to do this if the edges of your subject start to go blurry.

Next, tap the Shutter button to take the shot. You can also change the depth of field from the editing options after taking a Portrait mode photo.

19. Adjust Portrait Lighting Effects in Portrait Mode

Portrait mode on the iPhone 13 creates a depth-of-field effect that blurs the background of your photo while keeping the subject in sharp focus. You can use lighting effects to further enhance your Portrait mode iPhone 13 photos. These effects use software algorithms to create different lighting options on your subject’s face, based on popular lighting setups in photography studios.

Simply choose the Portrait mode in the Camera app. After that, drag the Portrait Lighting control to choose between the following lighting effects:

  • Natural Light: No additional lighting effects are added.
  • Studio Light: Facial features brighten to mimic photo studio lights.
  • Contour Light: Sharper lighting creates dramatic highlights and lowlights.
  • Stage Light: Imitate a spotlight and plunge the background into darkness.
  • Stage Light Mono: The same as Stage Light, but in black and white.
  • High-Key Light Mono: Create a white background with a black and white subject.

Next, tap on the Portrait Control button that appears at the top of the screen. The Portrait Lighting slider shows below the frame.
Now, drag the slider to the right or left to fine-tune the effect.
Once you have fine-tuned the portrait lighting effect, hit the Shutter button to take the shot. Now, check out the image to ensure it’s in line with your taste. If you aren’t pleased with the portrait image, get into the edit mode and then use the Portrait Lighting slider to further adjust the lighting effect.

20. Learn to Use Auto FPS

If you like taking videos at night, you might have noticed that your video files aren’t as clear as they should. Some of the footage might look a bit washed out at night. If that’s the case for you, that’s probably your iPhone trying to help you by using Auto FPS.
Auto FPS is a feature that can reduce the frame rate of your video to improve low light. Although it may be useful on some occasions, it’s best to learn how to turn it off when needed.

  1. Start the Settings app on your iPhone.
  2. Scroll down and tap on Camera.
  3. Tap on Record Video.
  4. Scroll down and tap on Auto FPS.
  5. Select Off.

You can play around with this feature to find when you should use Auto FPS and when you shouldn’t.

How to set a voice changer on Mac?

Do you have a computer with the Mac operating system? Are you looking for a voice-changing program that is 100% compatible with Mac? We have created a compilation of the best free tools for changing your voice on Mac. With these tools, you don’t need to pay for the service or purchase a voice changer device.

What Is a Voice Changer?

One of the things we’ve learned to do with iOS devices is making group facetime calls. But now, you can prank your friends with a distorted voice in a group call too on Mac.

How you can protect your iPhone from Malware and Spyware

by GeeksModo Staff

In today’s world, when technology has taken over, high-tech safety and security hacks and spyware have found their place too. Unfortunately, there can be various sources through which spies or hackers can get into your iPhone without you even knowing. There are a variety of reasons for this. Still, one of the most dangerous is that it obtains all of your personal information and can issue potentially hazardous commands. Nevertheless, you can always protect your iPhone through various means such as VeePN.

What do malware and spyware mean?

Many people confuse both the terms and may use them alternatively; however, there is a fine line between them. For example, malware is a code, or a file specifically made to destroy the user’s network or personal files. On the other hand, spyware comes under malware designed to obtain the user’s data from their mobile phones or computers.

How Malware and Spyware Can infect iPhone?

It is infrequent that iPhones get infected by viruses as Apple makes sure to block any third-party apps to its devices. Secondly, as the apple users download the application directly from the apple store, unlike android or windows, it ensures to run through all the antiviruses before downloading to your iPhone. Therefore, the chances are meager but not impossible! Users who may have jailbroken their iPhones are at a far higher risk of getting malware on their devices because they can install apps from a range of different app stores outside the Apple Store. Apps obtained from unlicensed app marketplaces are not always verified for safety and are frequently maliciously loaded.

How to detect viruses on an iPhone?

There can be a few signs that may indicate that your iPhone has a virus:

  1. It could be a symptom of virus infestation if you find unusual apps showing on your start screen and if your applications keep crashing.
  2. Examine your data use by going to settings. It can be malware on your iPhone if it seems much higher than anticipated or doesn’t match your actual data use.
  3. Every month, pay attention to your monthly payment.

Additionally, if you see pop-up ads when you are not using the browser, this can be a sign of malware. Finally, malware might send premium service SMS, making your monthly subscription increase. In the end, you can always scan your iPhone for malware or viruses.

Ways to protect iPhone from Malware and Spyware

  1. The updates of IOS have made a few of the home screen widgets to be accessed without typing your password. Although it is easy and convenient, it can be harmful to your privacy as well. Spyware or malware can easily get into it in case of theft or your iPhone getting into the wrong hands.
  2. The easiest and the basic security you need to put is to set a passcode. The password must contain both numbers and letters and needs to be more than six characters.
  3. Still, a professional can easily crack your passcode. Hence you need to set a two-factor authentication so that it requires your permission to access specific apps. In this way, you can still protect your data even if someone is using your iPhone.
  4. It is best if you turn off your location tracking. Finding out where you have been through various apps by other people can be sold to other entities. Additionally, your whereabouts are something personal that needs not be found by anyone.
  5. Enable the ‘find my phone option so that even if your phone is lost or stolen, you can still track it before the leakage of sensitive information.
  6. It is better to backup your images or videos on your computer than the IOS backup option. It is easy for hackers to hack your apple Id and spy on your data. But you can always have a backup on your computer even if your iPhone is lost or stolen.
  7. Different software is available for ad blockage and malware. Installing them on your iPhone will prevent potential viruses.
  8. There are multiple VPNs available; however, most of them are unreliable and may transfer your data to third-party entities, which is the last thing you want. Whereas using authentic VPNs will ensure secure encryption of your traffic and will provide security to your data.
  9. Malicious software such as spyware attempts to take data from you without your knowledge or consent. It could be covered as legitimate software or operated in the background to perform tasks such as tracking online surfing data or monitoring keystrokes in order to gather passwords.

How is Apple virus removal done?

Even after taking extra precautions, your device can still get malware or spyware. For that, you will need to remove them.

  1. Delete any applications that are new to you, appear malicious, or that you did not install. Alternatively, if you’ve discovered that your phone’s difficulties began after you downloaded a particular app, uninstall it.
  2. Restart your iPhone after turning it off. It may appear easy, but it can assist in the resolution of the issue.
  3. Restore your device to a previous backup if rebooting it doesn’t work. Continue to experiment with alternative backups till the issue is resolved.
  4. Delete your history and data. Make a backup before doing so, so your important files are not lost.
  5. Sometimes, updating your iPhone can also solve the issue.
  6. If you still see the problems persist in your iPhone, run an antivirus or contact Apple’s official site.

Conclusion

People keep iPhones for a variety of reasons. However, one of the most essential of them is the issue of privacy. Apple prioritizes the protection of its consumers’ personal information. However, there are still several methods for your iPhone to be infected with malware or spyware, so take the precautions and procedures outlined above to secure your data. Follow these guidelines to make your data more secure.

15 Best iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max Tips and Tricks to Try First

by GeeksModo Staff

Ready to check out the best iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max tips and tricks? From the new smart display mode to health features, interactive widgets to a new Action Button experience, Live Voicemail to offline Apple Maps, and more, here are the top 15 iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max tips and tricks you should try out first.

The iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max in the natural titanium finish.

KEY POINTS

  • The iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max have a ton of tips and tricks that you’ll want to take advantage of if you’ve just purchased the device.
  • The Action Button is among the biggest features on the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max.
  • There are plenty of iPhone 15 Pro tricks, such as deleting duplicate verification codes automatically or cross-fading between songs in Apple Music, that will work on any iPhone running iOS 17.

iPhone 15 Pro in black titanium, white titanium, blue titanium, and natural titanium finishes.

If you’re upgrading from a much older iPhone model, there’s going to be a bit of a learning curve when it comes to navigating your brand-new iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 15 Pro Max.

If you just bought the the iPhone 15 Pro or Pro Max, you may be wondering what an Action Button is (that little button at the left side of your phone). If you bought any of the iPhone 15 models, you’ll want to know what visual lookup is and how to use it. There are also hidden iPhone 15 Pro hacks you should know about, such as StandBy mode, which i’m using all the time and can really come in handy.

Here are the best iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max tips and tricks to get you started.

Best iPhone 15 Pro tips and tricks to try first

1. Customize Action Button

A screen showing that the Action button is located on the left edge of the iPhone 15 Pro. You can customize the function of the button in Settings > Action Button.  

The iPhone has had a ring/silence switch since the very beginning, and the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max finally changes that. The switch has been replaced with the Action button.

By default, just press and hold the button to toggle between ring and silence, just like the switch used to do. You’ll get a haptic response and animation in the Dynamic Island. But there are a number of other modes available, too. You can set the button to launch the camera, start a voice recording, activate an accessibility feature like launching the Magnifier or flashlight, or running a Shortcut.

That last one is especially exciting, as it means you can quickly perform complex actions, or even just launch any app you want.

Should you want to take advantage of all iPhone 15 Pro Action Button tips and tricks, the Settings app is where to go. Open the app and scroll down until you find the Action Button tab.

The first thing you will notice is how different the user interface looks compared to other settings on the iPhone. There’s a fancy animation of the Action Button as you swipe through the programmable functions.

Your options include Silent Mode (default), Focus, Camera, Flashlight, Voice Memo, Accessibility, Shortcut, and Translate (arriving later this year).

Apple allows you to map a specific function with the broader categories. For example, a drop-down box on the Camera slide gives you the options of Photo, Selfie, Video, Portrait, and Portrait Selfie.

2. Turn on Face ID for Private Browsing in Safari

Safari has added several new privacy settings on iOS 17: You can now choose a different search engine like [DuckDuckGo when privately browsing, automatically strip all tracking information from URLs, and securely share passwords with friends and family. And you can even lock your private browsing tabs in Safari — but you’ll need to toggle this setting on before you can use it.

In Settings, go to Safari and toggle on Require Face ID to Unlock Private Browsing. That’s all you need to do! If you want to test out the feature, open the Safari web browser and make your way to Private Browsing. If you attempt to browse privately, you’ll be asked to use Face ID to access your private tabs.

3. Automatically delete your verification codes

This iPhone 15 Pro trick cleans up the clutter of verification codes in your text messages, and it’s somewhat hidden in your settings. And oh yeah, it’s not enabled by default, so it’s up to you to turn it on.

In the Settings app, go to Passwords > Password Options and toggle on Clean Up Automatically. Now, when you receive authentication notifications in Messages (or even in Mail), they’ll be automatically deleted from their respective applications — as long as you use the verification code with the autofill feature at the top of your keyboard. If you don’t use the autofill feature, the verification code will stay in your messages or emails.

4. Enable the level in your camera

If you want to take better photos, or at least straighter photos, then this iPhone 15 Pro trick is for you. The native Camera application on your iPhone has a new, somewhat hidden feature that adds a virtual horizontal level as you snap a photo. You’ll know the shot is level with the ground when it turns yellow and you feel the haptic feedback.

This feature is once again, not enabled by default, so go to Settings > Camera and toggle on Level under the _Composition_section. Now when you take a photo, you should see a broken straight line in the middle of your screen — this is the level. Adjust your phone to make it yellow, signifying that it’s now level to the ground.

5. Use Apple Maps offline to navigate

You might be surprised to learn this, but you’ve never been able to use Apple Maps offline. Instead, you’d have to be connected to the internet, which is useless if you need to find your way back home when you’re out in the wilderness or in an area with no connection. In iOS 17, you can finally download an offline map to grab directions even when you don’t have service.

In Maps, tap your profile photo in the top right of the navigation window and go into Offline Maps. Depending on where you drive most, you may see a suggested map to download, along with the size of the map, in case you don’t have much storage. You can also just hit Download New Map, type a city, manually adjust the map if needed and download it to your iPhone.

6. Crop your photos using the zoom feature in Photos

Cropping a screenshot or picture in the Photos app is a relatively easy process, but Apple has made it even easier on iPhone 15 Pro.

Now, when you’re viewing a photo and you zoom in on it, a new Crop button will appear in the top-right. This will automatically take you into edit mode and allow you to then adjust the crop even more, or you can simply hit Done to finish the crop. You must act quick though, as the crop button appears for only a few seconds after you zoom in to a photo.

7. Use Visual Look Up to figure out laundry codes

You grab a shirt and look at the tag. It’s filled with symbols that are supposed to help you figure out how to wash this specific article of clothing — maybe it can only be washed in cold water, or it might require a dry cleaning. Unfortunately, you might not know how to read these laundry symbols. But your iPhone 15 Pro can.

With this iPhone 15 Pro trick, you can now use the Visual Look Up feature, which can identify words and objects in your photos, to decipher what these laundry codes say. All you have to do is take a clear photo of your laundry symbols, go into the **Photos **app, find the image of the laundry symbols, swipe up and tap on Look Up Laundry Care. The results will show you what each of the recognized laundry symbols mean.

8. Use Crossfade for smoother transitions in Music app

If you’re in charge of playing music at a friend’s party or in the car, you can use an iPhone 15 Pro trick to cross-fade effect between songs in Apple Music.

In the Settings app, go to Music and toggle on Crossfade. Once the setting is enabled, you can choose how long you want the cross-fade to be: Choose between one second and 12 seconds, in second intervals. If you choose five seconds, for example, the next song in the playlist/album will begin to slowly play in the background five seconds before the current song ends.

9. Interact with certain widgets on your home screen

The widgets that live on your home screen are no longer there just for looks. Apple has brought interactive widgets to the iPhone, allowing you to control applications from your home screen, much like you would from the control center.

For now, the number of interactive widgets is limited, but if you want to add one to your home screen, press down on an empty space on your home screen to enter edit mode, tap the plus sign in the top right, and scroll through the list of widgets. A few interactive widgets available include Podcast, Home, Notes and Music.

For example, in Music you can play or pause music, while in Home, you can turn any connected devices off and on, such as a smart light bulb or a thermostat.

10. Change Siri volume and speaking rate

With iOS 17, you can change how loudly, softly, or quickly Siri speaks on your iPhone 15 Pro.

Change Siri’s speaking volume on your iPhone 15 Pro

To change Siri volume on your iPhone15 Pro, just activate the assistant then say "Speak louder" or "Speak quieter."

Change Siri’s speaking speed on iPhone 15 Pro

To change how quickly or slowly Siri speaks on your iPhone 15 Pro, follow the steps below:

  1. Open the Settings app and tap Accessibility.
  2. Tap Siri.
  3. Slide the Speaking Rate slider toward the right for faster speech, toward the left for slower speech.

What do you think about iPhone 15 Pro? Are there any other useful but subtle tips and tricks that I missed? Let me know in the comments below.

11. Use StandBy Mode

StandBy is a new customizable Lock Screen mode in iOS 17 that activates when an ‌iPhone‌ is charging and positioned on its side. Think of it as a kind of smart display for your ‌‌iPhone‌‌ that offers fast access to different screens of glanceable information that can be viewed at a distance, when your device is charging on a kitchen, desk, or nightstand, for example.

  1. With your iPhone 15 Pro screen locked, place it in landscape on an upright charger (the mode won’t work on flat or low-angle chargers or when your screen is unlocked – and it must be charging)
  2. iPhone StandBy will automatically appear – the feature is enabled by default.
  3. The classic analog clock plus calendar widget on the right is the default StandBy view, swipe up on either to change them. Press and hold on either one to add or remove widgets.
  4. On the first StandBy view, do a big swipe from right to left to change views
  5. Press and hold on the other StandBy views to customize them.

You can tweak StandBy settings by heading to Settings > StandBy.

12. Create Your Own Contact Poster

Contact Posters allow you to customize how you’re represented when you give people a call. You can use photos and emoji to personalize your Contact Poster, which appears on a person’s ‌iPhone‌ when you phone them. And like the ‌iPhone‌ Lock Screen, you can match images with eye-catching typography.

But your Contact Poster doesn’t just show up in calls. It’s also part of your contact card in the Contacts app, giving consistency in the places where you communicate and share. The following steps show you how it’s done:

  1. Open the Contacts app and tap on your own name.
  2. Tap the Contact Photo & Poster option.
  3. Tap Edit, then tap Customize.
  4. Tap Poster.
  5. Use the buttons at the bottom of the screen to take a photo, choose a photo you want to use from your library, pick a Memoji, or add a simple Monogram of your initials.
  6. To go along with your chosen image, you can optionally customize the font size, style, and color. (Note that you cannot change your name from this interface – that needs to be done by changing your contact info.)
  7. Swipe across the poster to preview a selection of filters, including black and white, duotone, and color wash in the color of your choice.
  8. When you’re ready, tap Done to preview what a person sees when you call them. If you’re happy with the look, tap Continue.
  9. Now you can opt to edit the crop of your Contact Photo, choose a different photo to use, or Skip this step.

13. Don’t read articles — listen to them

If you’re a fan of podcasts, you’ll probably enjoy a hidden iPhone 15 Pro trick that lets you ask Siri to read news articles, informational sites or anything else in Safari out loud, meaning all you have to do is listen.

One way to get Siri to read the selected article to you is to hold your iPhone’s side button which will activate Siri. Then say "Read this to me." Alternatively, simply say "Siri, read this to me," hands-free. (In iOS 17, you don’t even have to prefix a command with "Hey" to invoke Siri any more.)

Siri will then begin reading the article to you out loud, and a media player panel will appear in the upper section of the screen, allowing you to rewind, fast-forward, adjust the volume, and even AirPlay the spoken audio to another device.

Another way to get Siri talking is to tap the Aa icon in the address bar, then choose the Listen to Page option in the pop-up menu. Siri will immediately begin reading the page to you.

The only difference with this method is that, unless you lock your device while Siri is reading, you won’t see a media control panel on the screen. If the article is still open in Safari, you can stop Siri reading it by tapping the Pause Listening option that replaces the "Listen to Page" option in the Aa pop-up menu.

14. Set multiple timers

Yes, for the first time ever, you can set multiple timers to run at the same time on an iPhone. Just start a timer in the Clock app as before, and then tap the sign at the top right to add a new one. You can label each timer so that you don’t get confused as to what they’re counting down to, just as you can with various alarms.

15. Live voicemail

For those who’d rather text than call, this iPhone 15 Pro trick is for you. Live Voicemail makes it easy to know if you’d like to pick up a call while someone is leaving a message without having to call them back.

The Live Voicemail feature is turned on by default on iPhone 15 Pro.

When you receive a call and let it go or send it to voicemail, you’ll see the phone and recording icon in the Dynamic Island or at the top of your iPhone
Tap the phone icon to jump to the Live Voicemail transcription
Now you can block the caller, answer the call, or let them finish leaving a voicemail – and you can swipe up from the bottom to leave Live Voicemail at any time..

Adobe

Do you find it complex writing notes in class because maybe the tutor was fast or you weren’t paying attention? With an IOS phone, you can install adobe apps to help you out with such issues. With this tool, you can download pdf format documents and access the content from your mobile phone. At times, you might not get the most relevant article for use in your academic work because they are all in pdf form. With this IOS app, it will be effortless to retrieve info from such a document.
Besides, you can edit a pdf document with the help of this tool. Moreover, you might also have to install a pdf word converter app on your phone. This will help you to navigate from pdf to word documents with ease.

Google Assistant

A Google assistant will listen to you and access the information from the internet. Such an app is useful when you need quick answers to long queries. You have to turn on your data before accessing this app. Ensure that you are audible enough when providing instruction for the tool to capture your words and present precise answers to your challenges.

Google Drive

Where can you save academic work and access it with ease? Google Drive provides storage for individuals who might want to save data online. The best thing is that it isn’t specific on the type of data to store. For instance, students can save word documents, pictures, videos and so forth.
The best thing about this storage app is that you’ll receive 15 GB of free storage space for every Google account that you have. When the storage gets full, you can purchase 100 GB of extra space from Google. From there, you can save as much data as you can.
Additionally, this IOS app allows individuals to access their documents at any time from any smartphone. Nonetheless, you’ll need a stable internet to achieve that. Additionally, you are sure that the data is safe from third-party access or loss.

Google Translate

All these apps relate to each other at some point in your studies. For instance, you can access the saved data in your CamScanner with the help of the Adobe IOS app. Therefore, individuals need to select the best fit of IOS apps to rely on for academic success.
There are some which you’ll have to buy, while others are free. Additionally, you should check the compatibility with your phone, as some might not support various IOS apps.
