In this hands-on video walkthrough, we surface 7 hard-to-find iPhone features that are virtually impossible to encounter unless you know where to look.
Apple’s marketing does a great job of highlighting iPhone features everyone should use. It rarely focuses on unearthing the little things. And that’s a shame because the many hidden gems in iOS make using the iPhone more accessible and fun.
Some of them are buried deep in the menus, and others lack a toggle in Settings, which makes them virtually impossible to encounter. We thought it’d be nice to create a video around those features to raise awareness among users about them.
