Apple's iPhone is packed with features, some of which even the most seasoned users might not know about. This article dives into 10 such tips and tricks that could significantly enhance your iPhone experience.
Effortless Audio Messaging
Sending an audio message through iMessage is a breeze. Instead of tapping through menus, simply lift the phone to your ear, speak your message, and lower the phone to send it automatically. This trick mimics the familiarity of a phone call, streamlining the process.
Self-Messaging for Quick Notes
Need to capture a fleeting thought? Send an audio message to yourself. Tap on your contact card in the Messages app to start. This method is especially useful with iOS 17, which transcribes these messages automatically if you're speaking in a compatible language.
Creating and Using Custom Stickers
The Messages app allows you to turn almost anything into a sticker, including live photos. This brings your messages to life by adding a personal touch with mini GIF-like stickers, crafted from your live photos.
Torch Brightness Memory
Adjust the brightness of your iPhone's torch from the Control Center. Once set, your iPhone remembers this brightness setting the next time you activate the torch, saving you from adjusting it each time.

Receive long voice messages? Speed up playback with options ranging from 1.25x to 2x speed. This feature lets you listen to messages more efficiently, saving you time.

The Share Sheet is a powerful tool for sharing content across apps. However, to prevent accidental shares, you can customize it by disabling 'Suggestions from Apple' in the Siri & Search settings. This gives you more control over your sharing options.
Podcast Transcriptions and Summarization
Leverage iOS's ability to transcribe podcast episodes for easier consumption. Combine this with a chatbot like Chat GPT to summarize these transcriptions, allowing you to extract the essence of podcasts without dedicating hours to listening.
Favorites in Apple Music
Apple Music now lets you favorite songs and albums, making it easier to create a personalized playlist of your top tunes. Access your favorite songs quickly, even through Siri, for a seamless music experience.
