hey guys welcome back to Hales world and
what about your iPhones because I'm
about to show you 25 hidden tips and
tricks you probably had no idea even
existed like check this out if you open
the photos application and find a
picture that you don't necessarily want
in your gallery you can click that share
button scroll down and you'll see this
option that says hide and if you tap on
that your picture will be removed from
the main gallery and placed in a hidden
folder the problem is if you scroll down
under albums you can actually see the
hidden folder right over here which kind
of actually defeats the purpose but what
you can do is head on over to settings
then scroll down until you see photos
once in there you'll see the option to
toggle off a hidden album and then you
will no longer see that album within
your photo app so now those photos are
well and truly hidden and you can still
keep adding to the album oh and also
don't forget to wait till the end
because I have some more super slick
iPhone wallpapers for you guys
[Music]
speaking of the photos application here
is something really cool you can do with
a live photo once you've found one you
really like it go ahead click that share
button and scroll down until you see the
option that says use as wallpaper in
here you can then set this as a
wallpaper except set this as your lock
screen wallpaper now what happens is
when you lock your phone you'll see the
wallpaper you just chose but if you
click and hold down the live photo plays
and you basically have an animated lock
screen then if you create a lot of
albums like I do sometimes you get a
pretty random thumbnail like this one
but what you can do is go ahead click
and hold down on the picture you want as
a thumbnail and click on make key photo
and now you have a better album
thumbnail okay so that's really Nifty
but what about all those random
screenshots on your iPhone I don't know
about you guys but I literally have
thousands and if you scroll to the
bottom of the album section you'll see
the screenshots album and then all you
do is Click select make sure you select
all of them and then just click the
trash can icon and delete all those
random screenshots in one go
okay now did you know you actually have
a music timer on your iPhone so say for
example you want to have some music
cling and eventually have it stop what
you do is play your favorite tracks in
Spotify then head to the clock
application and set a timer then what
you're going to do is click on this when
timer end section and instead of using a
ringtone or notification tone right at
the bottom is this option that says stop
playing and if you select that and then
start your timer you can then go ahead
sit back relax and when the timer is up
bam the music stops playing and there's
complete silence if that's your thing
then some of you may already know this
one but if you swipe down on the control
center and click this little Shazam icon
it'll automatically recognize any music
that's playing which is seriously useful
but what you may not have known about
this little Shazam trick is if you play
something straight off of your phone
like a YouTube video or Instagram reel
for example and click the Shazam icon
It'll recognize anything that is playing
on your phone I mean how cool is that
now I know this one can be a huge
frustration for people and it's when
you've got something playing on Spotify
and want to take a video the music
automatically stops playing but if you
swipe into the photo mode then go back
to your Spotify application and continue
playing your music you can then click
and hold down on the shutter button and
the music will continue playing while
you take a video
[Music]
okay now let's see how many of you know
these quick little hidden features let's
just say you're scrolling through
Instagram or Tick Tock for days and want
to get back to the top of the page well
if you click on the time it'll
automatically scroll you right to the
top of the page this works in any
application so if you ever find you just
want to scroll right at top click the
time and you're good to go all right now
this one is super useful for saving your
parking location if you click and hold
down on the mapped app you will see the
option that says mark my location and
just like that your location has been
marked and if you ever want to get back
to it just click that directions button
for those of you who want extra privacy
if you go to settings and scroll down
until you see the Privacy section right
in here at the top you will see tracking
and if you click on that these are all
the applications that are currently
tracking all your activities and you can
toggle them all so this is literally
stopping apps from tracking you by the
way if you're enjoyed this video then
hit the Subscribe button because we're
on the road to 1 million and if you stop
I mean that that would be
oh
[Music]
I'll do some seriously cool iMessage
tricks and if you receive a message from
someone did you know you can respond to
each individual message using an emoji
you simply click hold down drag it onto
the message and drop you can then go
ahead and select another one and drop it
on the other message and the other
person will see it exactly like that
another really cool thing is if you type
out a message but then click and hold
down on the send button you have a bunch
of different animation options for the
message so you can choose from these
four basic message effects or you can
even have screen effects there are so
many different options to choose from
and you can go through them just by
swiping left so whether it's a birthday
celebration or Valentine's Day then it's
pretty much an effect for every one of
those and once you're done click the
same button and when your contact opens
up a message they'll receive it like
this which is so much fun
okay now I cannot believe it but for the
longest time I had no idea this super
Nifty hidden feature existed and it is
especially useful if you want to hand
your phone to someone else and the trick
here is to click your lock button three
times this activates a feature called
guided access and these gray boxes are
areas that cannot be used at all so if
you hand your phone to someone with
guided access on they'll only be able to
stay on that one page and to turn guided
access off you triple click again and
then you are prompted to enter your
phone's pin so unless anyone else knows
it they're not accessing the rest of
your phone there are also other options
in guided access like a time limit or
adding some extra gray boxes just by
drawing on the screen and if this
doesn't work on your phone straight away
it's totally fine you can just activate
it in settings so once in there under
accessibility scroll down to the bottom
until you see guided access in here
you'll be able to toggle it on and once
that's done head back to accessibility
and right over here you'll see
accessibility shortcuts make sure guided
access is ticked then the BAM triple
click to activate
okay now this feature I've had activated
for ages and it's the LED flash
notification light that goes off anytime
you get any calls or messages so this is
a really nice way to know if you are
still getting notifications even if your
iPhone is on silent I use this all the
time it's a super simple to set up under
settings in accessibility scroll down
until you see audio slash visual in here
right at the bottom you'll be able to
toggle on LED flash 4 alerts and also
toggle on slash on silent now you'll
never miss a call or notification
okay now here are some sweet Safari
tricks that everyone should know if
you're like me and open up to Safari you
probably have a million tabs open
already to get rid of them it's quite
tedious you have to press that little x
button but there is actually a much
easier way all you do is click and hold
down on that tabs icon and right over
here you'll see the option to close all
your tabs in one easy go then if you're
surfing the internet or a specific
website and want to save all the
information if you click on that share
icon you'll see right over here is this
options button here you'll see this PDF
option and this allows you to save the
entire web page as a PDF document to
your files so once you've done that you
can open up your files application and
there is the entire website or search
results you just saved
and then again if you're on a website
this little trick is ridiculously useful
if you take a screenshots and open it up
right at the top you will see this
option that says full page and what this
does is it saves the entire web page as
a screenshot you just click done and it
does prompt you to save it as a PDF
document unfortunately not a JPEG but
once it's all saved you can go ahead
open up your files folder and right over
there is this super long screenshots
that you just took
[Music]
gestures are always extremely Nifty and
here are some awesome ones if you type
out some text but want to undo simply
shake your phone and this pop-up
notification appears you can then shake
it again to undo even more or you can
shake it again and you'll have the
option to redo the text you just typed
out
[Music]
select a word in a sentence is something
double tap the word and every single
time it'll select it perfectly to select
the entire sentence triple tap it and
you're good to go you can even use
finger gestures by selecting a word then
taking three fingers and pinching in on
the screen like that it copies the text
and then to paste just pinch out and you
can just keep on going and pasting more
just by pinching out so next time you
want to copy a sentence don't forget to
pension paste
absolutely everyone with an iPhone
should head into settings and activate
this under emergency SOS what you do is
toggle on these two options then scroll
down and make sure countdown sound is
also toggled on then what happens in
future if ever you're in an emergency
click the lock button five times and
this alarm will start sounding in three
seconds it'll phone your emergency
services and if you cancel that call
it'll then notify all your emergency
contacts another great thing to do is
bypass a certain contact so when you put
your phone on do not disturb usually
this silences every single call but if
you want specific contacts to still come
through all you do under their details
is click the edit button then under
ringtone make sure to toggle on
emergency bypass click done and then in
future anytime your phone is on silent
or do not disturb and this person phones
you your phone will ring every time
so on to some pretty nifty tips you
probably didn't know in control center
if you're having signal or network
issues toggle on then off airplane mode
and straight away your phone will
connect to the nearest cell phone tower
then if you click and hold down on the
torch icon you can actually adjust the
brightness of your phone's torch there
are about six different brightness
options to choose from so this is pretty
cool especially for at night when using
your torch if you also click and hold
down on the timer icon you can quick and
easily set a timer just by adjusting
this dial clicking the start button and
of course when the timer is up your
buzzer will ring and that's it
