1. Magnifier: Your Handy Magnifying Glass
Say goodbye to squinting and struggling to see small text or objects. Your iPhone has a built-in magnifying glass called Magnifier. Simply open the App Store, type “Magnifier” in the search box, and tap open. Adjust the magnification by tapping, holding, and dragging the slider. Plus, the flashlight icon within the app provides extra illumination in dimly lit situations. And iPad users, don’t worry – you have access to this secret magnifier app too.
2. Code Scanner: Scan QR Codes Without Downloading Extra Apps
Forget about downloading third-party QR code scanner apps that may cost you money or compromise your phone’s security. Your iPhone already has a hidden Code Scanner app built-in. To access it quickly, add Code Scanner to your Control Center. Open the Settings app, select Control Center, and tap the plus icon next to Code Scanner if it’s not already there. Now, whenever you need to scan a QR code, simply swipe down from the top of your home screen and tap Code Scanner.
3. Control Center Printer: Print Anything from Your Phone or Tablet
Printing directly from your iPhone or iPad is a breeze, as long as your printer supports AirPrint. Make sure your printer and phone are connected to the same Wi-Fi network, then tap the share icon on the document, note, or photo you want to print. Choose your printer and hit “Print.” What’s even more convenient is that you can manage your printing jobs via the secret App Switcher. On iPhone X or newer, swipe up from the bottom to the middle of your screen, hold your finger there until the App Switcher and Print Center app appear. On iPhone 8 or earlier, simply double-click the Home button.
4. Live Caption: Get Instant Captions on Anything You’re Watching
Android users have been raving about Live Caption, an incredible accessibility feature that automatically captions any speech playing on your phone. But did you know that this feature is also available on select Android phones, including the Pixel 2 and newer? To enable or disable Live Caption, simply press the up or down volume button and tap “Live Caption” under the volume controls. Captions are processed locally on your phone and never leave it, ensuring your privacy.
5. Google Keep: The Ultimate Note-Taking App
Looking for a robust note-taking app that syncs seamlessly with your Gmail and Android phone? Say hello to Google Keep. This hidden gem is similar to Apple Notes and offers a range of features to enhance your productivity. Access Google Keep Notes from your app list on Android and get started with these tips: add a new note by tapping the plus icon, create lists with the checkmark icon, draw on your phone screen with the marker icon, record voice notes with the microphone icon, and attach images from your gallery using the image icon.
