Look, iPhones are basically mini-supercomputers now, but let’s be real—most people just use them for TikTok and texting their mom. Doesn’t matter if you’re rocking the shiny new 15 Pro Max or your trusty old iPhone that’s seen better days. I’ve got ten sneaky hacks up my sleeve that’ll squeeze a whole lot more magic outta that thing in your pocket. Ready? Let’s make your phone do some actual work for once.
1: Back Tap Shortcuts
Did you know you can double-tap or triple-tap the back
of your iPhone to launch actions?
How:
Go to Settings → Accessibility → Touch → Back Tap.
Assign actions like taking a screenshot, opening the camera, or launching an
app.
2: Hidden Trackpad in Keyboard
Need to move your cursor precisely?
Press and hold the spacebar — your keyboard turns into a trackpad! Slide
your finger to move the cursor where you want.
3: Drag & Drop Between Apps
Quickly drag photos, links, or text from one app to
another.
How: Tap and hold the item, then use another finger to swipe up, open
the target app, and drop it there.
4: Measure Objects with Your iPhone
Turn your iPhone into a virtual tape measure.
How: Open the Measure app, point your camera, and follow the
prompts to measure objects in real life.
5: Silence Unknown Callers
Tired of spam calls?
How: Go to Settings → Phone → Silence Unknown Callers. Calls from
people not in your contacts go straight to voicemail.
6: Scan Documents with Notes
No scanner? No problem.

Documents. Snap,
adjust, and save as a PDF.
7: Pin Important Messages
Keep key chats at the top of Messages.
How: Swipe right on a conversation and tap the pin icon.

Stay productive by filtering notifications.
How: Go to Settings → Focus, create custom modes for work, sleep,
or study, and choose who can reach you.

Want to hide private photos?
How: Select the photo, tap Share → Hide. To view hidden photos,
go to the Hidden album in Photos.
10: Battery Health
Tips
Extend battery life by enabling Optimized Battery
Charging (Settings → Battery → Battery Health). Also, keep Low Power Mode handy
for busy days.
Final Thoughts:
Seriously, your iPhone’s basically a pocket-sized
wizard if you know what you’re doing. Nail these tricks and you’ll breeze
through tasks, lock down your private stuff, and honestly just make life a heck
of a lot smoother. Why make things harder?
