Hidden iPhone features everyone should know
No matter how long you’ve owned your smartphone, there’s always more to learn about it. There are features you will never use, and some you won’t know you need until you find them.
Your iPhone and Apple Watch track various health metrics, from your heart rate to your breathing pattern. Here are five important health indicators to keep an eye on.
The iPhone has gone through many changes since its introduction in 2007. It’s not easy to keep up with all the neat stuff you can do with this phone, but here are some tips to get you started.
Level tool
Your iPhone replaces some items you’d typically find in a tool belt. The level feature lets you check whether an object is level, straight or flat:
- Open the pre-installed Measure app. If you don’t see it, open the App Store and search for Measure.
- Tap Level, then hold your iPhone against an object like a picture frame or desk.
Emergency Medical ID
You can set up an emergency medical ID that can be accessed from the lock screen. This includes important medical information and emergency contacts.
Let’s say you pass out and can’t use your phone. If someone nearby calls emergency services, first responders can access your critical medical information from the lock screen without needing your passcode. They can also see who to contact in case of an emergency.
You just need to set up your Medical ID to include the following information about you:
- Name.
- Age.
- Medical conditions.
- Medications.
- Allergies.
- Emergency contacts.
